The latest updates and improvements to Project Campfire.
Campfire mode
Toggle it on and the full sidebar disappears—replaced by a single chat interface where you can ask questions, give updates, and take action across all your projects at once. "What needs my attention this week?" gets you a real answer, not a dashboard to interpret.
AI tool calling
The AI doesn't just talk—it acts. Say "mark the expense report as done" and it's done. "Reschedule the client call to Friday" updates the due date. "Break down the onboarding task into steps" creates subtasks. Every action shows an inline card with an undo button, so nothing is permanent until you want it to be.
Cross-project search
Search cards, emails, and attachments across every project you belong to. Ask "what did Diego email about last week?" or "find all overdue tasks" and get results without switching between projects.
Data questions
Ask questions the AI can't answer from cards alone—like "how many tasks did we complete this month?" or "which project has the most overdue items?"
Calm EA personality
The AI speaks like a senior executive assistant—competent, calm, never dramatic. No shame about overdue tasks, no urgency theater, no ALL CAPS. It notices what matters and tells you plainly.
Held email review for unknown senders
When someone emails your project from an unrecognized address, the email is now held for admin review instead of being silently dropped. Admins can accept and assign the sender to a team member, reject the email, or block the sender entirely. Accepted senders are remembered for all future emails.
Email Review tab on project page
Project admins now see an "Email Review" tab directly in the project tab bar with a badge showing how many emails need attention. No more hunting through menus to find held emails.
Sender similarity warnings
When a held email comes from an address that looks suspiciously similar to a known team member (like "jon@examp1e.com" vs "jon@example.com"), the review screen highlights the similarity so you can catch potential typos or impersonation attempts.
Choose your demo experience
New users can now choose from six demo project types during onboarding: Kitchen Remodel, Website Redesign, Product Launch, Annual Report, Fundraising Event, and Consulting Project. Each demo shows how a real team would use Campfire to stay coordinated.
Team-attributed emails
Demo projects show emails "forwarded by" different team members—like Mike (Contractor), Rachel (Designer), and your spouse Jamie. This demonstrates Campfire's core value: synthesizing information from your whole team's inboxes into one unified view.
Demo cards with realistic timelines
Demo cards now include tasks due today, this week, and next week so you can explore the Agenda view with meaningful data. All demo items are clearly labeled with [Demo] so you can distinguish them from real work.
Pre-populated project context
Demo projects come with "About This Project" and narrative sections already filled in, showing how Campfire maintains a running summary of your project's current state, key decisions, and team roster.
Blocker and commitment toggles
Cards now have "Blocker?" and "Committed?" toggles in their properties. Mark a card as a blocker to flag it as something preventing progress, or mark it as committed to track promises your team has made. Reports use these directly—blockers get their own section, and committed cards drive the "Committed" count in your Delivered/Committed/Requested metrics.
Report filtering by completion date
Reports now correctly filter completed cards by when they were actually completed, not when they were created. This means your weekly and monthly reports accurately reflect work done during that period.
Multilingual card extraction
Forward emails in Portuguese, Spanish, French, or any language—cards will now be extracted in that same language. No more awkward translations to English. Your team can work in the language that feels natural.
Smart comment processing
Say "done" or "completed" in a comment and the card automatically marks itself complete. Reply "yes" to "is this done?" and it understands. Comments like "FYI, the deadline moved to Friday" add context to the card. Less clicking, more doing.
