About Mattermost

v11.7 ships rearchitected AI agents and granular ABAC as Mattermost leans hard into regulated buyers.

Mattermost is now openly positioning as a collaboration platform for defense, intelligence, and critical infrastructure rather than a general-purpose team-chat alternative. The v11.7 release pairs Attribute-Based Access Control for Team Admins with a rearchitected Agents v2.0 layer that supports custom AI prompts and user-created agents, signaling that the AI roadmap will run on top of strict access governance rather than alongside it. Editorial output in May is overwhelmingly about sovereignty, coalition operations, and AI governance — the company is telling regulated buyers what to ask vendors during procurement.
