What is Timely?
Timely's AutoSheet can now fill gaps in a draft instead of starting over.
Timely is an AI time tracking platform built around AutoSheet and its Memory desktop app. Weekly releases through October added timeline editing, Cmd+K search, away-time prompts, bulk editing, compliance views and integration-disconnect alerts. The 9 November release lets AutoSheet add entries to an existing draft for uncovered time while keeping edits, plus faster Memory updates and a run of readability fixes.
What is Shuffle?
Shuffle tags builds almost daily, but the notes are empty.
Shuffle has tagged six 2.3.1 builds since November 3: release candidates 4 to 6 and three nightly builds. Only rc4 lists a change, a fix for a frontend crash; the rest link to commit comparisons. The more substantive rc1 in October handled AI agent actions in hybrid worker setups.

Timely
5.0INFRA · APIS
Timely's AutoSheet can now fill gaps in a draft instead of starting over.
◆ Current state
Timely is an AI time tracking platform built around AutoSheet and its Memory desktop app. Weekly releases through October added timeline editing, Cmd+K search, away-time prompts, bulk editing, compliance views and integration-disconnect alerts. The 9 November release lets AutoSheet add entries to an existing draft for uncovered time while keeping edits, plus faster Memory updates and a run of readability fixes.
◆ Where it's heading
AutoSheet is getting more forgiving about manual edits, and the admin side keeps gaining compliance and integration-health tooling. The cadence is steady weekly polish rather than new product areas.
◆ Prediction
Expect further AutoSheet refinements around drafts and more team-lead compliance controls, the two areas recent releases keep returning to.
Shuffle
5.0INFRA · APIS
Shuffle tags builds almost daily, but the notes are empty.
◆ Current state
Shuffle has tagged six 2.3.1 builds since November 3: release candidates 4 to 6 and three nightly builds. Only rc4 lists a change, a fix for a frontend crash; the rest link to commit comparisons. The more substantive rc1 in October handled AI agent actions in hybrid worker setups.
◆ Where it's heading
The project is iterating toward 2.3.1 with frequent builds, and the October notes show the work is about making AI agent steps run reliably in workflows. The empty release notes make it hard to see what each build changes.
◆ Prediction
A 2.3.1 final release looks close given the run of release candidates and nightlies, though the entries do not say what it will contain beyond fixes.
