Bankai, Board Gantt View & Mobile Push for Email

This week launches Bankai, your new voice superpower for the Copera Desktop app — speak instead of type at 4x the speed across messages, documents, questions, and commands. We also shipped the long-awaited Gantt chart view for Boards with task dependencies and date propagation, and major upgrades to email notifications including mobile push and cross-device sync. Plus a public Drive API, a new Wallet system, and a long list of inbox notification fixes.

New Features

Bankai — Speak Instead of Type, at 4x the Speed

Bankai is your new voice superpower inside Copera. Hold a key, speak naturally, and Bankai turns your voice into formatted text, AI answers, or hands-free commands depending on the mode you are in. Most people speak at 150 words per minute but type at only 40 — Bankai is built to reclaim that difference. It is a power, not an assistant: when you dictate, you are writing; when you ask, you are pulling knowledge into your workflow; when you command, you are navigating Copera hands-free (#2858, #2865):

• Five voice modes — Omni lets the AI classify your intent automatically, Dictation turns speech into formatted text at the cursor, Ask answers questions inline, Commands controls Copera hands-free (navigate, open, join, create), and Chat is a walkie-talkie conversation with Copera AI with spoken responses
• Hold, speak, release — global keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Win on Windows, Fn on Mac) work anywhere on your system, even outside the Copera window
• Floating pill overlay — a minimal floating UI shows recording status with animated waveforms and a glowing border in Omni mode
• Trigger word for safety — Omni mode requires saying "Bankai" before commands so it never fires by accident
• Direct mode shortcuts — jump straight into Dictation, Ask, Commands, or Chat with dedicated shortcuts, fully customizable from web settings
• Multi-language voice — Bankai understands and speaks English, Portuguese (Brazil), and Spanish
• Interactive training wizard — a redesigned onboarding tutorial walks you through every mode hands-on and measures your personal speed advantage, with milestone celebrations as you master new features
• Voice usage stats — see your voice activity, history, and stats from the profile menu
• Mac Fn key support — use the Fn key on macOS as your voice trigger via the native helper
• Desktop app required — Bankai uses global system shortcuts that only work in the Copera Desktop app for Windows and macOS

Board Gantt View

A powerful new Gantt chart view for Boards built on a Canvas rendering engine, with full project management capabilities (#2859, #2868):

• Task dependencies — link tasks with Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish, and Start-to-Finish relationships, with smart arrow routing that goes around bars instead of through them
• Date propagation — moving a task automatically cascades dates to dependent tasks, with strict and flexible modes
• Critical path — highlight the longest dependency chain that determines your project duration
• Drag, resize, and reschedule — manipulate task bars directly on the timeline with day-precise snapping
• Click to schedule — click any unscheduled task to schedule it instantly, with an optimistic ghost bar so you get immediate visual feedback
• Grouping — group tasks by any field with collapsible group headers
• Status colors and progress bars — task bars use status colors with darkened progress overlays so you can see completion at a glance
• Bulk actions — select multiple tasks to duplicate, delete, update, or move them at once
• Export to PNG or PDF — share your Gantt chart as an image or printable document, with dependency arrows included in the export
• Zoom and pan — zoom from days to months, with your zoom preference saved per view
• Keyboard navigation — 16 keyboard shortcuts for navigation and task management
• Milestones — mark key project milestones on the timeline
• Dark mode — Gantt view adapts to all themes

Email — Mobile Push & Cross-Device Sync

Email notifications now sync seamlessly across all your devices (#2866, #2861, #2867):

• Mobile push notifications — get instant push notifications on your phone when new emails arrive in your inbox
• Cross-device sync — when you read, delete, archive, or move an email on web, the matching notification automatically clears on mobile (and vice versa)
• Deep-link to email — clicking a notification now opens the exact thread and highlights the specific email that triggered it, instead of just opening the inbox root
• Smarter AI suppression — the AI now only suppresses notifications for emails it's confident are spam or unimportant, so important personal emails always reach you even with AI filters enabled

Drive — Public API & Developer Mode

Programmatic access to your workspace drive files for power users and integrations (#2854):

• Public Drive API — access your drive via Personal Access Tokens with endpoints for tree navigation, search, download, multipart upload, and folder creation
• Signed downloads — download URLs are generated on demand for secure access
• Developer mode "Copy ID" — copy file and folder IDs from the Drive context menus, tree sidebar, and breadcrumbs for easier API integration

Wallet & Marketplace

A new wallet system for marketplace purchases and creator earnings:

• Add funds via Stripe — top up your wallet with any credit card through secure Stripe Checkout, with preset packages for common amounts
• Marketplace purchases — buy items from the marketplace using your wallet balance, with automatic top-up if your balance is too low
• Transaction history — view every deposit, purchase, and earning with filtering by type and status
• Real-time balance updates — your wallet balance and transaction list update live across all your open devices
• Creator earnings — sellers receive their share of revenue with a holdback period for refund protection

Subscription — Reactivate Paused Plans

If your subscription has been paused, you can now reactivate it with one click directly from the Workspace Locked screen or the Workspace Billing page — no need to contact support.

Drive — Better Public Sharing & Faster Loading

The Drive service has been rewritten with improved public sharing and breadcrumb navigation (#2816):

• Public folder breadcrumbs — when viewing a publicly shared folder, you can navigate up through the folder structure within the share boundary
• Faster public access — public folders and files load more efficiently
• Lazier downloads — file download URLs are generated only when you need them, making page loads noticeably faster

Bug Fixes

• Email — signature formatting is now preserved correctly in sent emails, with embedded images properly attached so they display in every email client (#2847)
• Email — "needs reply" status now clears immediately after you reply, instead of waiting until you navigate away and back (#2851)
• Email — the AI no longer rescues emails from the spam folder after you've explicitly marked them as spam — your decision is final (#2849)
• Email — the blue "needs reply" dot now correctly disappears when you dismiss it, and the dashboard counter updates instantly (#2848)
• Email — opening one email no longer marks every unread email notification as read — only the matching notification clears (#2862)
• Email — the focused email highlight no longer re-triggers if the page refreshes after you've already seen it (#2863)
• Email — eliminated duplicate notifications when new emails arrive (no more double toasts and double notification sounds) (#2845)
• Email — bell notifications now correctly clear when you read or delete emails (#2845, #2848, #2850, #2860)
• Email — fixed "email classification not found" errors that appeared when dismissing or moving emails (#2844)
• Drive — public folder shares now only show files that are actually marked as public, fixing a bug that could expose private files in shared folders
• Drive — drive content is now properly isolated by workspace so files never bleed across workspaces
• Board — fixed an "undefined content" message that could appear in some board cells (#2846)
