The connections library now spans hundreds of apps, each adding actions Hamster can run in chat. Plus Goals, with OKR and five other frameworks.
Connections library
Hundreds of apps now connect to Hamster.
Each connected app adds actions Hamster can run in chat: post a Slack update, file a Linear issue, pull numbers from PostHog. Learn more about connections.
Goals
Initiatives say what your team is building. Goals track whether it's working.
Pick a framework and Hamster enforces its structure as your goal tree grows: key results sit under objectives, measures under strategies.
Open any goal to see who owns it, where it stands, and when it's due. Measurable goals carry the numbers: a baseline, a target, and the actual value as it comes in.
Link initiatives to a goal to show the work behind it.
Goals work from chat too. Upload a strategy doc and Hamster drafts your goal tree from it, or ask Hamster to update a target mid-quarter.
Repositories now connect through the Hamster GitHub App. No more pasting access tokens.
Hamster indexes every function and import. Chat answers cite exact file paths and line numbers, plans reference the modules they touch, and briefs pull in related code automatically.
Connect repositories from the GitHub Repos tile on the Connections page.
Improvements
Generated plan tasks now specify the outcome, scope, and exact files to touch, both in the app and in tasks synced through the CLI
Hamster's questions in Slack now open in their own thread, and answers route back to the right task
Threads started from Slack now get descriptive titles; plans generated there post a link back when ready
Bursts of chat actions now collapse into a "Worked for" summary, and work waiting on your answers appears above the chat input
Ask how something works in Hamster and the answer now includes demo clips and screenshots from the docs
You can now change a brief's status without opening it, in both table and card view
You can now link multiple initiatives to a brief at once
