What's New in OperatorOS (And What's Coming Next)

I've been heads down building for the last few weeks and wanted to share what's been shipping — and give you a look at what's coming.

If you've been using OperatorOS, you'll notice a lot of these updates came directly from my own experience running stores. I build what I need, and then I ship it to you. That hasn't changed.

What Just Shipped

Home Screen Widget

You can now add a commitment widget to your home screen that shows overdue and upcoming commitments at a glance — no need to open the app. It color-codes everything: red for overdue, orange for due in the next two days, yellow for a few days out. If you're all caught up, you get a green checkmark. There's also an “Add Commitment” button right on the widget so you can capture something the second it comes up.

I wanted this because I kept unlocking my phone between stores just to check what was due. Now it's right there.

Daily Brief

The Dashboard now has a Daily Brief tab — an AI-generated morning overview of your entire territory. It surfaces what needs your attention today: recommended actions, focus areas, potential concerns, and wins from your team. Think of it as your morning coffee companion before you hit the road.

General Meetings

We used to only support 1:1 meetings with individual managers. Now you can record any meeting — weekly calls, monthly reviews, team huddles — and the AI adjusts its summary based on the type. A 1:1 still focuses on coaching and development, but a general meeting pulls out key topics, decisions, and action items.

The whole section got renamed from “One-on-Ones” to “Meetings” to reflect this.

Weekly and Monthly KPI Tracking

You can now track metrics on a weekly or monthly basis. The new period type picker lets you toggle between the two, and there's a week scroller for navigating weekly entries. Not every metric makes sense on a monthly cadence, and now you have the flexibility to track both.

Web Dashboard

OperatorOS now has a full web companion at operatoros.app. Same Firebase backend, same data, accessible from your laptop. Stores, visits, commitments, KPIs, interviews, meetings, meeting topics — it's all there. Sometimes you just need a bigger screen to review your territory, and now you have it.

AI Connector (MCP Server)

This is probably the most under-the-radar feature, but it's one I'm most excited about. Pro subscribers can now connect their live OperatorOS data to Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, or any MCP-compatible AI platform. That means you can ask your AI assistant questions about your stores, visits, commitments, and KPIs using your actual data — not hypotheticals.

It's read-only and secure (OAuth 2.1, your data stays yours), but it opens up a completely new way to analyze what's happening across your territory.

Other Updates

A few more things that shipped recently: birthday and anniversary tracking for your store managers (with notifications and a dashboard banner), a meeting topics feature for quick-adding agenda items before your next conversation, and geofence-based proximity alerts when you're near a store.

What's Coming Next

I'm working on bringing OperatorOS to Android so more retail leaders can use it regardless of their device. Beyond that, I'm continuing to refine the AI features — smarter daily briefs, better visit summaries, and deeper KPI insights. The goal is always the same: build what I need, ship it to you, and keep making the tool better based on real-world use.

Why I'm Sharing This Now

I've always believed that the best tools are built in public. I'm not a product team with a polished roadmap and a PR cycle. I'm a retail leader who builds what I need and shares it with people who do the same job.

If any of this resonates — if you've been wishing for a tool that actually understands what it's like to be on the road between stores — give OperatorOS a try. It's free to start, and every feature I just described is either live right now or on its way.
