🚦NEW: Weekly and Monthly Success Criteria

Sometimes, a quarterly target isn’t granular enough when the work moves every week. Now you can set success criteria for the month or the week, so you know in week 3, not week 13, whether you’re on track. Enter your actual each week and your status color updates automatically.

🔢 NEW: Format as Number

If you’ve ever had a goal that needed to be really precise, this one’s for you. Set exact conditions for every criteria color the format that fits your goal: a plain number, a dollar amount, or a percentage. Everyone on your team knows exactly what success looks like before the numbers come in, and no one has to debate whether it’s green.

📈 See It in Action: Raise the Bar Every Week

Say you want to make more calls each week this quarter. Set weekly criteria, then ask Ask Patrick to raise your green target gradually, from 6–10 calls a week now to 15–20 by week 13. It does the math and updates every week for you. You can also ask it to raise the target by a set percentage each week, or edit any week yourself with a click.

Then the payoff: by week 8, if you’re still logging 7 calls, that’s no longer green. The bar moved, and your status shows it. Rhythm has never tracked goals this precisely, and now it does.

Watch a 3-minute example

Also released this month:

• Goal dashboards on mobile: Check how your team’s goals are tracking from anywhere, so you’re ready for the next conversation before you reach your desk.
  

  

• Targets for any KPI: Add any KPI, whether individual or from any team, to your Targets table and dashboard.
  

  

• Multiple Ask Patrick conversations: Keep separate conversations going so each topic stays in its own thread.
  

  

• Copy or move meeting agenda items: Reuse meeting agenda items instead of rebuilding them from scratch.
  

  

• Fuller notification emails: Comment and goal status update emails now show more of the text, so you can read the update without opening the app.
  

  

• Week in Sync loading indicator: See a clear loading indicator while your WIS summary generates, so you know it’s working.
  

  

• Zapier 3.0: Rhythm’s updated Zapier app is now available. Check it out!

✨ Coming Soon!

Idea Boards for teams: Keep idea boards at the team level and find them in a standalone list in the Work menu, so brainstorms don’t have to live inside a meeting.

Dashboard export from the app: Export a goal dashboard straight from the dashboard view, no extra steps.

Attachments in Ask Patrick: Upload documents in an Ask Patrick chat and have them reviewed and analyzed.
