We've been overwhelmed by the response to Routines thus far, and we've been blown away by the types of things customers have started to use Windy for. Whether it be:

The use cases are extremely exciting to see, and the list is only growing! We're rapidly improving the experience as well, here are some of the big items from last week:

Routine Deadlines

Different routines require information delivered at different times. We have now added the concept of a deadline which will let the creator specify when they need the responses. This is essential for items like Priorities, stand up notes or meetings agendas. If you create a routine asking the team about agenda items for a meeting in two hours, you can now set that routine to end right before that meeting. Depending on the deadline you set, Windy will follow up before the routines closes to nudge non-responders.

Editable Discussion Guides

Windy makes it really easy to ask questions to large groups of people, and Windy also helps contextualize and understand those response by auto-generating reports for you. However, not all questions can be simplified into a single ask. What if you have follow up questions? Now, in routine creation, Windy will give you the ability to edit your discussion guide. This will let creators add any follow up questions they'd like Windy to ask. Here is an example - by hitting Edit on the discussion guide, I am able to add follow up questions about our in office experience.

Change to non-threaded messages

Replying to Windy can only be done in threads. Previously Windy would try to continue the conversation with you if the response was in a separate thread. However, this experience presented other challenges, so now Windy will only let you reply in the proper thread. If you attempt to reply out of a thread, Windy will quickly nudge you back in the right direction.
