New theme or Korgi classic? You choose. Plus updaaaates!
New App Themes
Thanks for voting to make the "Korgi Electric" theme the new default look for the app. Still love the original look? Switch to Korgi Classic anytime – from your Account Menu (top right), select "Theme."
Korgi is retiring our early community, KorgiConnect, and launching a dedicated @korgiboard subreddit. Join us there as we grow a new space for users, with access to many other subreddits and threads to support our users' work. We look forward to your sharing your own tips and use cases with the Korgiverse!
Renaming Google Workspace Items
One of our users' favorite features is creating files, contacts, and events in a click from the drawer of any card on your board. Korgi names each item, saves it to your drive, shares it with board collaborators, opens it for you, and adds a bookmark to your card (so you can CLOSE that TAB!). Some users want to be able to rename the document at a later point, and now you can. Just open the card's drawer, click on the three dots to the right of the item name, and add the new name – Korgi will manage renaming it in Google Workspace for you.
The Korgi home page just got back from the groomers — plus other app updates!
We're testing a brand update and would very much appreciate a quick vote from you in our Home Page poll! All feedback is useful feedback for the team — thanks.
Also, our latest release includes general improvements and some great user requests:
Open Korgi Console in one click. The Korgi Console icon (tan button on the bottom right of your board) now directly opens the Console in your Dash tab (Gmail, Calendar, etc.). That initial submenu is gone. REMINDER: You also can open the Console in the Chat tab by selecting the Chat icon on the top right of your board.
Complete onboarding with templates. You can now do the onboarding "Quick Start Steps" while using one of our prebuilt templates (if you never completed the onboarding, it's quick and very helpful. To take our quick product tour now, select the Korgi Console icon (tan button on the bottom right of your board), then select "Help."
Connected Korgi AI responses. Korgi AI now connects its responses consistently when you ask related questions.
Copy Korgi AI responses. Now you can copy individual responses from Korgi AI, not just the whole thread. This helps when you want to add just a snippet of your thread to a card.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts with the team and helping us make Korgi the "single source of truth" for your projects, your day, and your life.
Chat notifications now link back to your boards — plus how to view the card connected to a chat!
Korgi loves user feedback – including a recent request to "add a link to the thread when I get a chat notification." THANK YOU, AND DONE. Now, when you receive an email notification for a chat, you can click a link and go straight to that board's specific thread (it will open in a new tab).
REMINDER: You can always check the latest chats on a board – and see what cards they're attached to – from Korgi Console's Chat/Notes tab:
Select the chevron icon lower right or chat icon top right of your board.
Switch to the "Chron" view to see the latest messages.
Select the "*" icon to the right of the desired message.
Check your board - Korgi adds a bright border around the related card. (You may need to scroll left/right or reduce the width of the console to see the full card.)
BONUS TIP: To control what email notifications you receive for chat, at the bottom of any email notification, select "Change what Google sends you."

Korgi adds FREE student plans for college access and success (December 12, 2024)
One of the most used features in the Korgi productivity & collaboration super-app are our pre-built boards/templates. As part of Korgi's commitment to service and impact, Korgi offers extensive pre-built boards for the college application process, including:
First-Year College Apps (2024-25): includes the application steps, links, and deadlines for dozens of U.S. colleges, including many leading private universities, state schools, HBCUs, and schools with high financial aid need met. Students can calendar deadlines, create essay docs, chat with advisors and family, and more in a single click, directly from their boards. And they can share it all with family and advisors helping them along the way. It's a simple and powerful command central for the college access experience.
FAFSA® Completion Guide: includes the steps and links for students and their families to complete the FAFSA®. Applicants and family members can easily answer the questions, upload or create necessary documents, and chat and create tasks throughout the process.
As regular decision deadlines continue to approach, Korgi is offering a FREE ACCOUNT to students to save hours of time, confusion, and inefficiency as they navigate their applications. Enjoy two boards, including at least one of the templates, integrated Google apps (including Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Slides, Contacts, and Calendar), integrated chat, and sharing – using your own apps and stored to your own Google Drive. The free Korgi College plan subscriptions last until June 2025.
Advisors, Korgi has prebuilt boards for you, too, including a launcher board where you can easily assist and engage with all your students through each step of their applications. With every student using the same template and Korgi managing sharing, you'll eliminate the stress of sifting through and acting on dozens of texts, emails, and document sharing invites. You'll still receive emails, we know!, and you'll be able to add them as tasks or to student cards in a click, right from your board. Get back the time you want and need to advise your students – and talk to us about building a custom dash for the data you need to optimize your processes, apply for grants, and share your incredible outcomes in reports.
We've successfully completed Google's rigorous, required Cloud App Security Assessment with TAC Security, and we're proud to see our new "independent security verification" badge appear on our productivity and collaboration super-app.
As more teams and businesses choose Korgi to manage tools, tasks, and talk on a single platform – using their own apps and drives! – we believe trust builds traction. This badge indicates to all of you that our app was validated by an independent security assessor to meet the integration and security requirements, as outlined in Tier 3 of Google's Cloud Application Security Assessment.
Good dog, Korgi!
Korgi adds card assignments and new Chat/Notes views and filters
Korgi's connected subtasks just got company, thanks to customer requests! Now you can assign any card on a Korgi board to yourself or a collaborator in a click. Open the card's drawer, hover over contacts, and check the desired assignee(s). Korgi creates and assigns the task in Chat/Notes.
With Chat/Notes quickly becoming our top team feature, Korgi's added two more views to keep easily managing your messages:
Board view. View all board messages in nested conversation threads.
Chron view (new!). View all messages individually, in date order. It's great for checking the latest messages, and you can expand any message to view its full thread, right in Chron.
Card view. View only the messages and threads connected to a specific card. Launch from the card, or select any Chat/Note and use the diamond icon to connect it to an existing card.
User view (new!). View only the messages that mention you - perfect for hyperfocusing. You can expand any message to view its full thread.
You also can filter any view to view all tasks or just the open or closed ones.
BONUS: Your Korgi browser tab now displays the count of new messages on your board. Try Chron view to quickly see what's happened since your last read!
