Changelog

What shipped, and what it changes on your jobs.

This is the Kiron changelog: every product update and release note, newest first, with the reason it exists. Kiron ships an update each month, sends it to customers by email, and keeps it here so any release stays linkable.

01 · Talk to EllaBeta

Give Ella your weekly update out loud

Open a project and start a weekly update. Talk for five minutes or less. Ella asks one question at a time and turns your answers into follow-ups.

03 · Ask EllaImproved

A sharper Ella

Three changes that make Ella easier to work with every day.

  • Ella keeps the thread. Ask a follow-up and she stays on the same document and the same conversation, even when you change topic.
  • Tables you can take with you. Ask for a list and Ella shows it as a table. Copy it, or download it as a CSV for your spreadsheet.
  • Retry. If an answer fails, one click asks again.
Which invoices are overdue?

Halloran Plumbing Supply$3,480.155 days overdue
Atlas Interior Supply$2,214.904 days overdue
Fairview Cabinetry$265.007 days overdue

04 · DocumentsImproved

W-9s on the Compliance screen, and line items you can fix

Two changes to the documents Kiron already reads for you.

  • W-9s in Compliance. A new tab shows which vendors have a W-9 on file.
  • Editable line items. Fix a line on any document and the totals update for you.
05 · QuickBooksBeta

QuickBooks Online: early access is open

Connect your books to Kiron. We are opening the connection to a small group of builders first. Nothing changes for everyone else: Kiron still works alongside QuickBooks, with nothing to migrate.

Want in early? Ask to join or see every integration.

01 · ComplianceNew

Certificates of insurance, read for you

Forward a COI. Kiron reads the carrier, the limits and the expiry date, then files it under the right subcontractor. A new Compliance screen shows who is current, who lapses soon and who has nothing on file — across every project.

02 · CloseoutBeta

One grid for every closeout document

Commercial builders can track warranties, final lien waivers, O&Ms, as-builts and TAB reports on one matrix. Kiron ticks a cell the moment the document arrives, so you see what is still open without a spreadsheet.

03 · Document typesNew

Five more documents Kiron reads

Send them in with the rest of your mail. Kiron names the type, pulls the key fields and files each one against the right vendor and project.

04 · ScansNew

One PDF, many documents — split automatically

Scan a whole stack in one pass. Kiron finds where each document starts and ends, splits the file and treats every piece as its own record — with a link back to the original scan.

A 14-page scan splitting into an invoice (pages 1 to 3), a lien waiver (page 4), a certificate of insurance (pages 5 to 6) and a draw request (pages 7 to 14).

One 14-page scan, four documents — each filed on its own.

05 · iPhoneNew

Talk on the drive home, get the follow-ups

Record a voice note in the Kiron iPhone app. Ella transcribes it, picks out each task, ties it to the right subcontractor and keeps the exact words you said.

Voice note · 0:20

“Follow up with the trim carpenter on the concrete wall corners, and get the tile installer back for the shower curb and step.”

“Get the tile installer back to finish the curb and the step to the shower.”
