What's New in Klaro Cards: AI Agents, Charts, Webhooks & More

Connect Klaro Cards to the Rest of Your Toolbox

Klaro Cards no longer lives in a silo. Three new bridges let you bring your AI agents, your external systems, and your own business logic right into the workspace.

Bring Your AI Agent into Klaro Cards

Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor — chances are one of these is already part of your daily workflow. Now they can work directly inside your Klaro Cards projects.

We've built a secure bridge that lets any AI agent supporting the Model Context Protocol (MCP) connect to your workspace. Once connected, your agent can:

• Work with your cards: create, update, search, comment, attach files
• Shape your project structure: add boards, edit dimensions, manage values
• Provide insights: analyze your workflow and suggest improvements.

Some things you can ask:

• "Summarize all open cards assigned to me this week."
• "Create a card from this email and assign it to Sarah."
• "My CRM project needs a Won/Lost dimension — set it up and tag old leads accordingly."
• "Find every card mentioning the Acme contract."

You stay in control. When you connect an agent, you choose exactly what it can see and do — read-only, specific projects, full access. Destructive actions like deleting cards or dropping dimensions always pause for your confirmation before they run.

To get started, configure the Klaro Cards MCP server in your AI tool of choice. You'll be guided through a consent flow where you pick which projects to share and what level of access to grant.

IMPORTANT if you use a dedicated business Klaro Cards instance, please contact our sales team to deploy the MCP server.

Webhooks: Connect Klaro Cards to the World

You can now create cards automatically from external systems using webhooks. Enable a webhook on any board, and you get a unique URL that accepts incoming data.

• Connect your forms, CRM, monitoring tools, or any system that can send HTTP requests
• Customize how incoming data maps to card dimensions using processing expressions
• Copy-paste ready code snippets (curl or TypeScript) to get started in seconds

Here's the thing: you don't need n8n, Make, Zapier, or any other integration platform to get data into Klaro Cards anymore. No extra subscription, no extra complexity, no middleware to maintain. A simple HTTP call is all it takes. Your ERP can create cards. Your contact form can create cards. Your monitoring system can create cards. Directly.

Elo: A New Expression Language for Complex Processes

If you're using Klaro Cards to manage industrial workflows, email follow-ups, or any process with computed dimensions and business rules, this one's for you.

We've replaced LiveScript with Elo, our own expression language for summarizers and evaluators. Elo is designed to make complex logic accessible to non-developers — the kind of people who actually own the processes in small and medium companies.

• Syntax highlighting and autocompletion right in the editor — no more guessing
• Inline error messages that tell you exactly what went wrong and where
• A cleaner, more readable syntax that makes formulas easier to write, review, and maintain

Whether you're computing lead times in a production pipeline, flagging overdue follow-ups in a sales inbox, or calculating costs across a supply chain, Elo gives you the power to express real business logic — without calling IT.

Our guides on computing number dimensions, date dimensions, and dynamic categories have been updated to reflect the new Elo syntax. And Elo now has its own website at elo-lang.org — with a Learn section to get started, a complete Stdlib reference, and a Try playground where you can experiment with expressions right in your browser.

See Your Data, Clearly

Three new ways to look at the same cards — pick the lens that fits the question you're asking.

The DataGrid View

Sometimes you need a spreadsheet-like experience. The new DataGrid view gives you exactly that:

• Group rows by any dimension, with expand/collapse controls
• Summary aggregations on group rows (sums, averages, min/max)
• A familiar tabular layout that feels right at home for data-heavy projects

Think of it as the best of both worlds: the structure of a spreadsheet, with all the power of Klaro Cards dimensions and filters behind it.

To try it, open any board and use the view selector in the toolbar to switch to DataGrid mode.

The DataGrid will gradually replace the current List view. We want to make the transition seamless, so if there's something you rely on in the List view that you can't do yet with DataGrid — tell us. Your feedback will directly shape the roadmap.

A Complete Charts Overhaul

Charts in Klaro Cards have been rebuilt from the ground up. You now get:

• Pie and donut charts for quick distribution overviews
• Stacked bar charts to compare categories side by side
• Dual y-axes when you need to overlay two different metrics
• Multi-chart grids to display several charts on a single board
• Color-coded series that automatically match your dimension value colors

Whether you're tracking budgets, project progress, or team workload, your data now tells a much clearer visual story — without leaving Klaro Cards.

To get started, create a new board and choose "Chart" as the display mode. Pick a chart type — pie, bar, line, donut — and configure which dimension drives the series. You'll see your data come to life in seconds.

Visualize Your Data Model as a Diagram

Ever wondered how all your dimensions and card types relate to each other? You can now visualize your project's entire data model in one view — as a clear, interactive diagram.

• See all dimensions, their relationships, and required fields at a glance
• Filter by dimension category (base, advanced, system)
• Great for onboarding new team members or rethinking your project structure

For the developers in the room: we support both ER and Class diagram styles — toggle between them depending on what makes more sense for your audience.

You'll find it under Settings & members > Dimensions, then click the Diagram button in the top-right corner.

Run Better Processes

Tools borrowed from Lean, Kanban, and the everyday onboarding conversation — to help teams measure flow, share context, and keep moving.

Lean Metrics, Borrowed from the Factory Floor

Lean manufacturing taught us decades ago that quality and flow improve when you stop trying to do everything at once. The same idea sits at the heart of Kanban. Klaro Cards now brings two of Lean's most foundational metrics — how much work is in flight and how long it takes — straight onto your boards.

Per-column WIP limits put a ceiling on parallel work. Set a maximum number of cards per column — "no more than 5 in In Progress", "Code Review caps at 3" — and Klaro Cards will tell you when you're over budget.

• Visible warnings the moment a column exceeds its limit
• Works the same way in Kanban and Casino boards
• Encourages your team to finish work before pulling new work — the very heart of Lean and Kanban

Why does this matter? Because the bottleneck is almost never that nobody is working. It's that too many things are in flight at once. WIP limits make that overload visible — and once it's visible, your team can act on it.

To configure a limit, open board settings and set the summary limits in the Summary bar section. That's it.

Flow duration answers the other half of the question: how long does work actually take? A new dimension type measures the time a card spends moving from one state to another — automatically, per card, with no spreadsheet export or manual stopwatch in sight.

• Pick a start state and end state from your Progress dimension — e.g. "from In Progress to Done", "from Submitted to First Response"
• Choose a display unit (seconds, minutes, hours, days)
• Klaro Cards computes the duration from each card's state-transition history, kept up to date as cards move through your workflow

The dimension is fully generic. Use it for lead time (request → delivered), cycle time (started → done), time in review, time waiting on customer — any state-to-state duration that matters in your process. Add it once, then surface it in DataGrid columns, charts, or summary bars like any other dimension.

Together, WIP limits and flow duration give you both Lean metrics on the same board. Spot the overload, measure the consequence, act on it.

In-app Documentation, Right Where You Need It

The best documentation is the one you find without leaving your work. You can now attach descriptions directly to dimension labels and dimension values — and your team can read them in place, right where the question comes up.

• Click the description icon next to a dimension label to read what it's for
• Same on individual values: explain what each status means, who's responsible, what triggers a transition
• Edit in place, gated by permissions, so the right people can keep the docs fresh

This is how onboarding gets shorter and "what does this status actually mean?" conversations stop happening on Slack.

Under the Hood

Less visible, no less important.

Performance That Scales With You

Boards with hundreds of cards now load progressively thanks to infinite scroll — across grid, kanban, and list views. No more waiting for the entire board to render before you can start working. You scroll, it loads.

We know too many tools slow down as your data grows. We refuse to let that happen. Performance isn't a feature you ship once — it's a continuous commitment, and we keep investing in it so that Klaro Cards stays fast no matter how ambitious your projects get.

And a Few Smaller Things That Add Up

A handful of changes that aren't headline features but quietly make every day better:

• Outlook .msg files are now first-class citizens in card attachments, alongside .eml — useful if your inbox flows through Outlook.
• Dimension settings got a polish: an edit pencil right on labels, separate create and settings modals, copy-to-clipboard on dimension codes, and new display options for Text dimensions (email, URL, regex pattern).

All these features are live. If you're new to Klaro Cards, the best way to explore them is to start from a template — you'll have charts, DataGrid, and dimensions set up in minutes.

Already using Klaro Cards? We'd love to hear which of these changes makes the biggest difference in your day-to-day. Share your feedback directly in the app — it goes straight to the team that builds what you just read about.
