About Shortcut
Shortcut redesigns its API for AI agents and pushes Korey beyond its own walls.
Shortcut is making concrete bets on agent-based work. API v4 entered alpha on May 12 with explicit framing around expanded capabilities and 'agent compatibility' — a positioning shift, not just a version bump. Their in-house AI assistant Korey is expanding outward: right-click access in February, then a dedicated Chrome extension in April that runs on any webpage. Around the strategic work, smaller improvements (Teams on Roadmap, March's SLA Alerts) keep shipping, alongside feed-noise from brand-guide pages being scraped as if they were releases.
