#475 – Cycle 12 Demo

This week we had our demo for Product Cycle 12. The team has been off to the races in 2026! It’s always fun to have a show-and-tell of what we’ve been working on. It’s great to get a round of feedback from the team. Here’s the full list of new and upcoming features:

Databases are now fully navigable using the keyboard. This update makes using databases a breeze including accessing column menus and adding new entries.

We’re happy to release our first SCIM implementation. Enterprise account admins can now provision, update, and de-provision users.

We’ve introduced a beta implementation of an OAuth 2.0 API. Software admins will be able to set up custom integrations with Parabol using GraphQL queries and mutations.

Users now have better options for controlling the size and layout of images in Parabol Pages.

We leverage data from sales, marketing, product usage, and operations to improve the product and make the best decisions to maintain a healthy business. We’ve paid down some tech debt long overdue and improved our data backend all around.

We’re working closely with customers to better understand their needs around knowledge management and how they use AI insights to enhance their workflows.

We’re working on an all-new search engine for Parabol, making it easy to find information from pages and meetings. We’ve overhauled our backend to unlock a semantic and fast UX.

We’ve got a prototype and designs for a stand-alone ranking app that teams, family and friends can use to sort out the most important things like top product ideas, ultimate vacation destinations, or what’s the best movie.

Thanks to our Product team (Georg, Jordan, Matt, Terry, Rafa) for the dedicated progress here and supporting each other with reviews and feedback!

This week metrics are up across the board as the new year picks up momentum!

…kicked off new strategies for Customer Success. We’re shaking up our efforts to better support customers to help them make the most of Parabol across their organizations.

…put our new vector embedding backend to the test. We’ve updated how we generate vector embeddings to power semantic search in the app using LLM models. This week we’re making sure these processes run smoothly.

…refactored our data infrastructure. As mentioned in the demo round-up, Jordan (Parabol’s CEO) reworked our data integrations to improve the infrastructure that serves so many processes in our company.

…focus our our search UX. We’ve made sure the backend is fast and powerful. Now it’s time to implement a great frontend UX.
