In Kemble Work, ask K Buddy to make a canvas of what it just told you, and a Make a canvas button appears under its answer. Press it to see the title and the first lines; Make canvas creates it as you. Ask it to remind you — “remind me tomorrow at 9 to call Ada” — and Create todo carries the time, in your own time zone. Ask it to tick one off, reword one or move its reminder, and it shows you the change first. It only ever touches your own to-dos, and a reminder you press after its time has passed is not set: K Buddy tells you, so you can pick a new time.
Ask it to add things to a list and it shows you up to ten items, each with its assignee or due date, with a remove button on each and Add all. Ask it to run a workflow and it offers the ones you can start. Ask it to set up a channel and it shows you the name, whether it’s private and what it’s for before you press Create channel; ask it to add people and it lists each person, with Remove, before you press Add. Nothing happens until you press, and every press is checked again as you, exactly as if you did it by hand.
Suggested to-dos on Today: once your admins turn it on, you can turn it on for yourself. When you open Today, K Buddy reads your mentions and direct messages from the last day and suggests up to five to-dos — “Reply to Ana about the launch date” — each linked to the message it came from. Press one to add it to your To-dos; Not now puts it away. It looks at most once every half hour, and never as a message arrives.
Save what you ask often: in K Buddy’s Skills, give a skill a name and say what K Buddy should do, then type / in K Buddy’s box to run it, adding anything you like before you press Ask. K Buddy still reads only what you can. Workspace admins can share their own skills with everybody, and sharing shows in the audit log. The microphone in K Buddy’s box turns what you say into words in the box; nothing is sent until you press Ask, and your voice is transcribed on Kemble’s own servers.
Once your admins turn it on, “Was this useful?” sits under K Buddy’s answers, explanations, summaries and catch-ups; your admins see counts only, never who said what. The pencil beside a past conversation gives it a name you’ll find again, Ask a follow-up under an explanation or a summary opens K Buddy with it in view, and Prep beside an event on Today puts a prep question in K Buddy’s box, for the events K Buddy is allowed to read.
When an answer compares a few things side by side, K Buddy now shows it as a table under its words: a real table that scrolls sideways on a phone, reads out properly with a screen reader, and copies as CSV with one press. When the answer is numbers it counted from what you can read — messages a day, tickets by team — it can draw a bar or line chart, and says where the numbers came from. Every chart keeps its numbers as a table: a screen reader reads them, and “The numbers” opens them on screen. K Buddy remembers the tables and charts it showed you, so a follow-up question can be about them.
K Buddy can remember what you ask it to. Say “Remember that I look after billing” or “remember I prefer short answers”, and it keeps a short note and uses your notes whenever you talk with it, so you don’t have to say it again. When you tell it something worth keeping, it may offer Remember under its answer; nothing is kept unless you press it, and a question like “Remember that meeting?” is answered, never kept. Your notes are yours: only you see them, and K Buddy uses them only in your own conversations with it — never in channels, recaps, summaries or workflows, and never in another workspace. Open What K Buddy remembers from K Buddy’s panel, or Preferences › K Buddy (in Kemble Circle, Privacy & safety), to change or delete a note, forget everything or turn it off. A note is up to 300 characters, and you can keep up to 200 in each workspace.
Memory is off until your admins turn on “Allow K Buddy memory”, and then off for each person until they turn on “Let K Buddy remember”; only people whose role lets them use K Buddy can keep notes. Admins can delete everyone’s notes at once without reading them. Your notes go when you leave the workspace or delete your account, and they’re in your own copy of your data.
In Kemble Work, press Add to canvas… under one of K Buddy’s answers and pick a canvas — only the ones you can edit are listed. The answer goes at the end, as the canvas’s own headings, lists and checklists, and anyone who has the canvas open sees it arrive straight away. Undo takes it back out, and the canvas’s Version history keeps the canvas as it was just before, as “Before K Buddy’s answer was added”.
Back to a busy channel in Kemble Work? When 10 or more messages are new, the “new messages” bar now has Summarise: K Buddy sums up just what you missed, and each point links to the message it came from. On a phone, it’s in the channel’s ⋮ menu.
Apps can post tables and charts too. A table holds up to 100 rows, and a bar or line chart up to four series of 50 points, each with labelled axes and a sentence saying what it shows. They’re drawn in Kemble’s own colours, with the same table, legend and Copy as CSV in Kemble Work and Kemble Circle. Developers: the new `table` and `chart` blocks are in the block kit, checked when the message is sent; at most five in one message.
Apps get four new permissions: canvases:read, canvases:write, lists:read and lists:write. With them, an app your workspace installs can make a canvas in a channel it has been added to — or one of its own, which at first only the person who authorised the app can open — read a canvas as Markdown, add or replace a section, read a list’s fields and items, and add or change items, each value checked against its field’s type. An app only reaches canvases and lists in channels it was added to, and the canvases it made — never one only shared with you — and only what the person who authorised it could reach themselves. Before an app changes a canvas, the canvas as it was is saved in its Version history, under the app’s name.
