From the CPO's Desk: Katmai Product Roadmap – Summer 2026

Written by Daniel Kosh | Aug 10, 2026, 7:49:28 PM

As Katmai has grown from early adopters to organizations of every size, the feedback has evolved. Customers aren't just asking for new features—they're asking us to make Katmai work across a wider range of hardware, larger deployments, and more day-to-day workflows.

A major focus this year has been expanding who can successfully use Katmai. Whether someone is on a high-end workstation or an older enterprise laptop, on a fast connection or a constrained one, we're continuing to reduce the barriers to adoption while making the platform easier to deploy and navigate at enterprise scale.

Sink your teeth into our summer roadmap with our current production targets. Spoiler - we have saved the biggest one for last!

August 2026

Data Platform

 

A comprehensive analytics platform that provides unprecedented visibility into how your organization works, including office utilization, core working hours, meeting analytics, collaboration patterns, adoption trends, and much more.

Katmai customers, book a demo with me to review this new and exciting feature, and discuss deploying Data & Insights at your company.

Noise Reduction

 

Intelligent background noise suppression for clearer conversations in noisy areas - the office, cafe, or pub.

Mobile: Audio Only

 

Join Katmai from a mobile device using audio only to reduce bandwidth and battery consumption.

Theatre Seating Optimization

 

Automatically seats audiences and positions presenters for webinars, town halls, and presentations.

Interview Loop

HyperLight Mode

 

Ultra-lightweight 3D graphics mode designed specifically for lower-powered enterprise laptops, significantly reducing CPU, GPU, and battery usage.
