SmartSuite grinds through Forms 2.0, governance, and an AI Center refresh — no-code aimed at GRC and PMO.

Current state
SmartSuite is a no-code work-management platform positioning hard at regulated operations — GRC, ITSM, PMO, and service desk. The current release stream is dominated by three arcs: a year-long Forms 2.0 buildout, a Default Values framework spanning field types, and governance features like Dynamic Record Permissions. Its AI Center keeps a multi-provider, bring-your-own-model catalog (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini) current.
Where it's heading
The roadmap reads as methodical breadth rather than big bets: forms are becoming a first-class internal submission surface, record- and field-level permissions are getting granular for auditors, and automation runs are gaining end-to-end traceability. The AI Center is maintained as a cost-tiered model layer rather than a differentiated capability, tracking new flagship releases as they ship.
Prediction
Expect the Forms 2.0 and Default Values rollouts to keep shipping incrementally, and the AI Center to track new flagship models with tier reclassifications rather than net-new AI features.

Recent moves

    Automations: Run Links in Activity History

    Record Activity History now deep-links to the exact automation run that made each change, cutting audit and debugging time on bulk-triggered automations. A traceability add squarely for the change-management and GRC users SmartSuite courts.

    Linked Record: Default Value Support

    Linked Record fields can pre-populate default relationships on the field, on Create-record buttons, and per-form — the latest field type folded into this year's Default Values framework. Useful for templated service-desk and PMO workflows.

    AI Center: Support for new models

    The AI Center adds the latest flagship models (Claude Opus 4.8, GPT 5.5, Gemini 3.1 Pro), sorts every model into four price tiers, and retires deprecated IDs. Keeps SmartSuite's bring-your-own-model AI layer current and makes cost-optimization legible without leaving the app.

    Forms: Yes/No Default Value Support

    Yes/No fields gain per-form default values (Yes, No, or empty), another increment in the Default Values rollout. Small but useful for acknowledgment toggles and opt-ins on attestation and intake forms.

    Filter Widget: Static Filters

    Dashboard Filter Widgets can now present manager-curated, named filter sets as tabs that reload connected widgets on click. Gives GRC and PMO dashboards a consistent, viewer-facing way to switch cohorts without building filters themselves.

    Forms: Layout and Appearance

    The form designer adds Classic, Banner, and Full layouts plus background and button color controls, letting public and full-page forms carry corporate branding. Part of the broader Forms 2.0 push.
