SmartSuite

SmartSuite is closing the gap between its mobile app and its desktop product, screen by screen.

work-managementmobile-parityai-agentsformscollaboration
Current state
SmartSuite is a work management platform combining databases, forms, automation and dashboards. Two systematic campaigns dominate recent releases. Mobile is being brought to parity — shared forms, internal forms and the chart widget all now run natively in the iOS and Android apps rather than falling back to a browser. Separately, AI Field Agents are being extended one target field type at a time, adding Address and Date to the existing Text and Single Select outputs.
Where it's heading
Both campaigns are additive rather than exploratory, and both look close to complete. The mobile releases explicitly describe features as previously desktop-only, which reads as a checklist being worked through. The AI Field Agent releases are near-identical in structure, each reusing the same governance, manual and automatic run controls, and audit logging — the agent framework is settled and only its output types are being enumerated. The Teams work follows the same instinct, extending existing Teams Field infrastructure into comments and checklists rather than building something new.
Prediction
Expect the remaining desktop-only surfaces to land on mobile and further field types to be added as AI Field Agent outputs, since both series have shipped in near-identical batches. Number and Link fields are the obvious unclaimed agent targets.

Recent moves

    Assign and @-Mention Teams in Comments and Checklists

    Teams can be assigned and @-mentioned in comments and checklist items, extending the Teams Field from field-level assignment into conversational surfaces. The workspace-level Team Email option, sending one email to a team address instead of every member, is the detail that matters for service desks routing tickets.

    Mobile: Internal Forms Support

    Internal Forms — the logged-in mode that respects field and record permissions and records the submitting member — now run natively on iOS and Android with no separate setup. Permission-aware submission from a phone is the piece field and HR workflows were missing.

    Mobile: Shared Forms Support

    Public shared-form links now open inside the mobile app rather than the mobile browser when the app is installed. A routing change rather than new capability, but it keeps submissions in the same place as the rest of a user's work.

    AI Field Agent: Address Field Support

    AI Field Agents add the Address field as a target output, generating structured addresses from record context under the same governance and audit logging as existing agents. One more entry in a steady enumeration of supported output types.

    AI Field Agent: Date Field Support

    The Date field joins the AI Field Agent output types, inferring values such as SLA targets or completion dates from record context. Shipped minutes apart from the Address variant, confirming these are batches of one framework rather than separate features.

    Mobile: Chart Widget Support

    The Chart View widget renders on mobile with full desktop parity across every chart type, including grouping, filters and benchmark lines. Charts are the hardest widget to bring to a small screen, which makes this a substantive entry in the mobile campaign.
