Smarter updates, better looking reports, and your meetings finally feeding your strategy. Here's everything new in Cascade.

Better looking reports

Reports just got more flexible. You can now add coloured backgrounds to report headers and change the font colour to match, giving you proper control over branding and visual structure. Text widgets now support full colour and font size control too, so you can build more slide-like reports and decks that update themselves and actually look the part.

Page numbers are also available on report exports, enabled from the export settings panel.

Connect Meeting Tools & Extract Insights

Your meetings are already full of strategy updates. Now Cascade can hear them.

Connect your Microsoft Teams or Zoom account and Tapestry (Cascade's AI engine) will pull insights from your meetings, mapped to the goals and projects your team owns in Cascade. After a meeting, you'll get suggested updates ready to review and post. No writing from scratch.

Open any goal and the sidebar will show you the latest facts Tapestry has picked up: what was said, when, and with what confidence. Nothing posts without your approval.

Head to your Tapestry settings to connect your account. Your IT admin may need to approve the connection first.

Upload documents directly to Tapestry AI

Not everything important happens in a meeting. Now you can upload documents directly to Tapestry and it will extract relevant facts for your goals, the same way it does with meeting transcripts.

Drop in a project report, a strategy document, a board pack, or any file with useful context. Tapestry reads it, maps the content to your goals, and surfaces facts as suggested updates for you to review and post.

File Hub gives you a central place to manage everything you've uploaded. See what's been processed, what facts were extracted, and which goals were updated as a result.

Attach files to your updates

You can now attach files directly to goal and project updates. Drop in a report, a deck, or any supporting document and it lives right alongside the update, visible anywhere updates appear including report tables and sidebars.

Tapestry reads the attachment too. Any file you upload can generate facts for your goals, surfacing suggested updates based on the content. Processing takes a few minutes, so suggestions won't be instant, but they'll be there.
