Every upgrade to your inbox employee, as it lands. Go build — we'll handle the inbox, and we'll tell you exactly how it keeps getting better.

Arcus runs your outreach — hand it a list, approve once
Paste a list or attach a CSV and say "email these 40 people about…" — Arcus researches each person, writes every email individually in your voice, and shows you samples.
One approval covers the whole batch. After your yes, emails go out paced like a human sends them — spread over days, business hours, minutes apart — so your Gmail reputation stays clean.
Before a first bulk send from a custom domain, Arcus checks your SPF/DMARC and tells you exactly what to fix if something's missing.
Ask for a watcher and Arcus sets up a scheduled agent that reads the replies, drafts responses in your voice with real openings from your calendar, nudges the silent ones once with a fresh angle, and never contacts anyone who opts out.
Nothing new to learn — it's the same chat, the same agents, now trusted with bigger jobs.
Fixed
Attachments actually reach Arcus now
CSV and text files uploaded in chat were silently invisible to the AI. Fixed — attach a contact list or notes and Arcus reads the real contents.

Improved
Answers that read like a briefing, not a wall of text
Arcus now structures substantive answers — clear sections, dividers, and a boxed "Bottom line" takeaway you can read at a glance.
The quick-ask palette (Ctrl+K) renders it all beautifully: section labels, tidy lists, callout boxes.
One-line questions still get one-line answers — no ceremony where none is needed.
Improved
A calmer, smarter chat
Simple messages get a simple reply — the processing trace now only appears when Arcus is doing real work.
While it works, you see what it's actually thinking — a live reasoning line, updating in real time.
Plan cards are fully legible in both themes, and their proposals are grounded in your real emails and events — one obvious right move stands alone instead of padded fake alternatives.
Acting on a briefing recommendation now hands the request visibly into the chat composer — you review it and hit send.
Improved
Onboarding that respects your time
The plan screen leads with what matters: "Start 3-day free trial", the real price you'll pay, and secure-checkout reassurance.
A plan + price recap sits right before checkout, with a one-click way to change your mind.
The live Arcus demo can be skipped — it finishes in the background either way.
Fixed two dead ends: returning from an abandoned checkout, and a scan that timed out, both now continue cleanly.
Fixed
Light theme, everywhere
Every surface — chat cards, the inbox intelligence report, the agents page, draft review — is now fully legible in light and dark.
Status colors, hover states, and selection indicators read correctly in both themes.

New
Watch Arcus work — a live, narrated trace
Every step shows the actual thing being done ("Scanning your inbox for unanswered investor threads"), not a bare tool name.
Web steps show their real sources. Multi-step tasks show a live phase plan that checks off as work completes.
Nothing in the trace can claim work that didn't happen — every line is grounded in what actually ran.
New
A sharper, glassier interface
An Apple-grade design pass across the app: translucent surfaces, hairline boundaries, soft depth, smooth motion.
Message bubbles, processing cards, result cards, drafts, confirmations — one consistent, premium language.
Fixed
Your briefing never comes back empty
If the AI engine is briefly busy, recommendations now degrade to accurate picks built from your real inbox — overdue promises, replies waiting, follow-ups going quiet — instead of vanishing.

New
Transparent reasoning
Arcus shows how it decided, not just what it decided — the tradeoff it weighed, what it ranked above what, and why.
Your Today feed gained "Why this order?" — one tap reveals how the day was prioritized.
New
The employee suite
Confidence receipts: every pick comes with the evidence it saw ("read 47, 3 need you").
Approval mode: anything that leaves the building waits for your one-glance sign-off.
Founder memory: Arcus learns your VIPs, style, and priorities from how you work — and shows its recall.
Continuous inbox: you review progress, not a backlog — "while you were away" leads with what was handled.
Opportunity detection: quiet risks surface first, tagged "Before it slips".
Improved
Instant, warm replies
Casual messages skip the machinery entirely — Arcus answers in about a second, like a colleague texting back.
Building since day one. The log starts here — everything above shipped to production.
