We kicked off the year as a team of 124!

We rehauled analytics with new dashboards for revenue, events, and device usage, along with the ability to filter those dashboards.

We added language support for Portuguese, allowing Brazilian and Portuguese communities to offer a native language experience.
We released a major update to our Knowledge Base, launching an AI-powered bot for instant support.

We brought our team together for our first offsite of the year in Bodrum, Turkey — a once-in-a-lifetime experience for many with great food, scenery, and vibes.
