Five things shipped this week that each change how you use Monad every day — from the first screen you see when you open the app to how your agents reach your inbox on a schedule.

Control Tower

Your workspace home is now Control Tower, split around two different jobs: Do keeps obligations open until their outcome resolves, while Know is an immutable, grounded edition of what is worth catching up on.

  • Live obligations: decisions, approvals, reviews, replies, agent input, and assigned tasks stay visible even after you open their source.
  • Grounded awareness: Know freezes exact source revisions and citations, with deterministic fallback if richer compilation is unavailable.
  • Current links: every card resolves its current authorized source rather than storing a stale URL.
  • Offline-safe actions: completion and dismissal use generation checks, so a stale tab cannot complete a replacement obligation.

Connections — your tools, inside Monad

The workspace has a new Connections gallery (formerly "MCP servers") where you link external services to your agents in one click. Connect once and every agent you've given access can act through that tool on your behalf.

This week's additions:

  • Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive: click Connect, authorize with your Google account, and you're done — no app to configure, no credentials to find. Agents can read and send email, manage calendar events, and read Drive files.
  • Notion and Linear: same one-click experience. Agents can browse Notion pages and databases, and read and create Linear issues.
  • X: search, post, and monitor mentions. X account connection was broken last week — that's fixed, and the connector now gains Lists support and enriched tweet data. Reconnect once from Settings → Connections → X to pick up Lists permissions.
  • Personal connections: any member can install a connector privately without waiting for an admin.

Monad is everywhere you are

The Monad agent is now omnipresent — pinned at the top of your DMs, reachable with @Monad from any space, and aware of who you are wherever it shows up. It carries per-user memory across conversations and shows only you what you share with it.

Start a thought in a channel, continue it in DMs. Your coworkers see the trigger and Monad's reply, but not the private context between you. Every interaction is anchored to you as the caller.

Recurring schedules

You can now give Monad a standing instruction and let it run on a cadence. Define what you want — a daily inbox triage, a weekly project summary, a recurring competitor check — and Monad wakes on that schedule, runs as you (with your connections and permissions), and DMs you the result.

Each schedule requires a one-time consent grant you can revoke anytime.

Thread replies that reach the channel

When you reply to a thread, you can now also surface that reply in the parent channel. Check the "Also send to #channel" box under the reply composer and your message appears in the channel feed as well as in the thread — one message, visible in both places, counting toward unread and triggering notifications.

Improvements

  • Settings → Connections: the "MCP servers" page is now called "Connections," with a gallery view and a dedicated detail page for each service. Old bookmarks redirect automatically.
  • Real brand logos: connectors show their actual icons instead of a generic first-letter placeholder.
  • @mention warning that sticks: when you @mention someone not in the channel, a persistent note (visible only to you) appears with a one-click "Add to channel" button. It survives page reloads, unlike the old banner.
  • Personal email onboarding: if you sign up with a Gmail or Outlook address, you'll see an optional Work Website field. Monad uses it to personalize your setup experience.
  • New Monad logo mark: updated brand identity (rounded-square cluster) is now live across the app icon, browser tab, share previews, and the desktop app.
  • Personal MCP servers: members can add remote-MCP connectors as private personal servers without needing admin action.
  • Desktop app v0.1.0: after updating to a new code-signing certificate, the desktop app is back on a stable release track.

Fixes

  • Notion and Linear connections failed on setup: every connection attempt immediately showed an error. Fixed.
  • X account connection always failed: connecting your X account failed every time. Fixed.
  • Gmail returned a permission error on every call: Gmail requests were rejected for all accounts. Fixed — Gmail now works reliably with any connected Google account.
  • X search returned errors on every query: search queries were silently failing. Fixed.
  • Notion tools failed on the default agent: Notion actions failed with confusing errors for some agent configurations. Fixed — compatibility improvements now apply across all connectors.
  • Agent runs crashed instead of recovering: when a request was rejected, the entire run ended. Fixed — runs now retry automatically instead of stopping.
  • Desktop app crashed on first launch after updating to a new code-signing identity. Fixed.
