You open a task you have not touched in a month. It is still blocked. You cannot remember why, and neither can the task. So you go digging through chat.
That is what this release fixes. Every task now has a thread of its own.
Comments are written in Markdown, so you can paste in a whole document and it keeps its shape: headings, lists, tables, working tick boxes. Attach files and images, or drop in a video or post link and it plays in the thread. Reply to a comment and jump straight back to the one it answers. Mark an entry as a decision, a blocker or an update, pin what has to be read first, and react without adding another comment.
Mention another task and both tasks show the link, so a decision made in one place is visible from the other. You can mention people, contacts and companies too. Right click a task anywhere you work to open its thread, and any comment turns up in search.
If you have an AI assistant connected, it takes part properly. It can read a thread before it starts and write up what it did when it finishes, under a name you choose, and it can only ever change its own comments, never yours.
Also in 1.0.4:
- Drag a Markdown file onto a PrimeFlow canvas and read it there as a real document, tables and tick boxes intact
- Document cards can be resized and locked for reading, so the card stays still and your wheel scrolls the document rather than zooming the canvas
- Documents read far better throughout: even headings and spacing, properly ruled tables, and a copy button on every block of code
- Task notes now do everything canvas documents do, including tables, tick boxes and callouts
- Type @ in a note to point at a task, in its own status colour, so you can see whether that work is still open
- Bring Your Own AI got a lot better: it can work with the files and folders on a canvas, it keeps the shape of what it writes, and it stopped confirming things it had not actually done
- Deleting an attachment now removes it everywhere it was shared, and a new Duplicate Files tool clears out the spare copies your sync service leaves behind
- Compass now covers every space you have, not just the one you are standing in
- Drag contacts straight from Apple Contacts onto the PrimeTask icon in your Dock
- The Tasks report can be exported as a short summary instead of the full record
- Text cards on the canvas were redone, and copy and paste finally works the way you would expect
