June Groupthink Improvements: Emojis, Threaded Chat & More!

Elle Morrill

We’re thrilled to announce our latest updates in June, packed with new features and improvements designed to enhance your experience with Groupthink. Here’s what’s new in our latest releases:

Emoji Reactions

Express yourself quickly and easily with our new emoji reactions to chat messages! Just like in Slack, you can now use a 👍 , 👎 , or 🔥 emoji to react to messages.

This adds a fun and interactive element to your conversations, making communication more engaging and lively. Stay tuned for a full emoji picker coming soon!

Threaded Chat Conversations

Keep your conversations organized with our new threading feature in chat. This makes it easier to follow discussions and ensures nothing gets lost. Threaded conversations help you manage multiple topics efficiently, enhancing your overall communication experience.

Experimental Dashboard View

Check out our new home page, available at /home. It shows upcoming meetings, recently visited meetings, tasks, a cat fact, and the latest posts from @groupthinkai. This centralized location streamlines your workflow, helping you stay on top of your schedule and tasks with ease. This page is hidden by default but can be accessed directly.
