Akiflow's newest release finally adds capability, but reliability work still fills the notes.

◆Current state
Release 2.80 is the first in several cycles to lead with something new: a Work with AI handoff that continues any task, event, or time slot in Claude or ChatGPT, task locations shared across desktop, web, and mobile, and a secondary timezone on mobile. It still devotes most of its length to a reliability pass over sync, recurrence, notifications, and crashes. That mirrors the preceding releases almost exactly — calendar editing, recurring-task correctness, in-app support, and a 200-plus issue stability round.
◆Where it's heading
Two things are worth separating here. The product's own direction is incremental: correctness work on calendar and recurrence has dominated for months, and the new capabilities in 2.80 are conveniences rather than a change in what Akiflow is for. The AI surface is the exception worth watching — MCP task creation, task links opened by Claude and other MCP clients, and now an explicit handoff into Claude or ChatGPT mean the app is being shaped as something agents operate alongside the user. That work appears as fixes rather than announcements, which understates it.
◆Prediction
Expect the AI handoff to deepen from copying a prompt toward acting on the task directly, given that MCP task creation and link handling are already being maintained as first-class paths. Reliability work will likely keep dominating the notes regardless.

    Reliability, In-App Support & Quality Fixes

    A stability release resolving 200-plus issues, adding an in-app support widget for help articles, feedback, and chat. The support widget is the only user-visible addition; the rest is the crash and quality work that characterizes most of this feed.

    Calendar Editing, Recurring Tasks & Reliability Fixes

    A duplicate capture of the same Calendar Editing release recorded elsewhere on this feed, byte-for-byte identical in length. The feed stores this release under three separate rows, so it carries no independent content.

    🗓️ Calendar Editing, Recurring Tasks & Reliability Fixes

    Calendar editing and recurring-task fixes, including RSVP behaving correctly across both All and This-and-future scopes on recurring events. Recurrence correctness is the long-running theme of this product's releases and this is one of the more consequential rounds of it.

    Recurring Events, Smarter Aki & General Improvements

    Recurring-event reliability, a more accurate Aki, empty time-slot names falling back to the project name, and a refreshed Linear integration setup. Small corrections, but the time-slot fallback is the kind of default that removes a daily annoyance rather than adding a feature.

    🔧 Recurring Events, Smarter Aki & General Improvements

    The long-form twin of the same Recurring Events release, expanded with the per-platform breakdown. Duplicate coverage of already-recorded work.
