Integration Stability
Key updates include the launch of PM Agent Skills for standardizing recurring workflows, along with improved Jira connection reliability and OpenAI key validation. This release also resolves Conference Bot reporting issues for meetings without substantive content.
Release dates: 08/13/2026
PM Agent: Skills
Skills have arrived — named playbooks that give the agent a set procedure for recurring tasks. A skill doesn't give the agent new data or tools; instead, it defines a sequence of actions: what to clarify with the user, which sources to use, and when to delegate to subagents. The result is more targeted follow-up questions, a consistent response format, and less variance in outcomes for similar tasks.
Several ready-made skills are already available for common scenarios: a digest of signals from client chats, an audit of Jira hygiene, meeting analysis, release readiness checks, and the ability to create new skills for your own workflows. If you have a task you handle regularly using the same logic, you can describe to the agent what requests it should apply to, which sources to use, and what output you expect — the agent will draft it, show it to you for approval, and save it only once you confirm.
Skills can be shared across a team. The skills library organizes them by scope — from personal skills to ones published at the project or company level — so a successful workflow doesn't need to be rebuilt from scratch by every team member.
Important note: a skill doesn't connect missing integrations or fabricate data without sources. If a data source isn't available, it will say so honestly rather than making up an answer.
PM Agent and Jira integration
Improved reliability of the Jira connection: fixed a scenario where OAuth reconnection would get stuck in an intermediate "materializing" status. Also improved validation of OpenAI keys — users now receive a clear error message for invalid characters instead of a generic 500 error.
Meetings and reports
The Conference Bot no longer marks a meeting without substantive conversation as fully complete, and no longer sends a report when there isn't meaningful content to include.
