✨ Two new AI features make reporting in Ashby faster and more impactful.

🔍 AI Report Filters lets you build report filters in plain language. Click the sparkle icon in the filter panel, describe what you want, and Ashby generates the filter for you.

You’ll also see example filter suggestions tailored to each reporting subject, giving you a starting point when you’re not sure where to begin. It’s the same AI filtering experience from Candidate Search, now available across every report type in Ashby.

📊 Related Reports helps you keep exploring after an AI Report Interpretation. Once Ashby explains what your report is showing, you’ll see AI-suggested follow-up analyses based on the AI insights.

Click "Create Report" on any suggestion and Ashby builds the next report for you with AI Report Builder, pre-configured with the right fields and filters.

Together, AI Report Filters and Related Reports help teams move from question to insight faster, with less time spent building reports from scratch. Available today for our Plus and Enterprise customers.

📅 New: Reschedule limits for direct booking links

Repeated or last-minute interview reschedules can create challenges for recruiting teams.

You can now set:
🔁A maximum number of times a candidate can reschedule an interview
⏰ A reschedule cutoff window that prevents last-minute changes before an interview starts

When either limit is reached, candidates are directed to contact the interview organizer directly.

Configure these settings in Scheduling Defaults or on any Schedule Template. Available on all plans.

[ashbyhq @ashbyhq]

⚙️ New Feature: Configurable consent policies for AI Notetaker

Ashby now supports both opt-out and opt-in recording consent for AI Notetaker, with configurable policy overrides. Teams hiring across multiple regions can apply the right consent policy automatically based on candidate or job criteria, helping meet stricter recording requirements without relying on manual processes.

📍 Set location-based consent rules so opt-in applies only to candidates in specific regions or for certain job conditions
📋 Capture consent directly in application forms, before an interview is scheduled
📅 Collect consent during direct booking and availability requests, allowing AI Notetaker to be added automatically when a candidate opts in
✉️ Add a customizable consent message to calendar invites

To configure consent rules and messages, go to Admin, then AI Notetaker, and Consent Management.

[ashbyhq @ashbyhq]

📝 New Feature: Auto-populate DocuSign custom fields with Ashby values

If your team requires mandatory Docusign custom fields on every envelope, Ashby now lets you configure default values for those fields in your Docusign integration settings by mapping an Ashby field or setting a static value that syncs from Docusign.

Those values are automatically included whenever an e-signature request is sent. If a required field doesn't have a default set and hasn't been filled in, the Send E-signature Request button will be blocked with a message letting you know what's needed before you can proceed.

💬 Ashby Assistant now answers product questions about Ashby

Ashby Assistant can now answer questions about both your hiring data and the Ashby product, helping you get answers without breaking your workflow.

❓ Learn how to complete a task or configure a feature
✅ Confirm whether a workflow is supported
📚 Surface the right documentation when you need it

Most product questions come up while you're in the middle of getting work done, not while you're browsing help articles. Instead of searching documentation or tracking down a teammate, you can ask Ashby Assistant and get an answer right in the conversation.

Find Ashby Assistant in the Ashby web app and Slack. Ashby Assistant is available as an opt-in open beta for all customers.

[ashbyhq @ashbyhq]

✨ You can now expand individual dashboard tiles to fullscreen in Ashby.

Click any report tile to focus on a single chart, table, or metric without leaving your dashboard. Tile actions now appear when hovering over or focusing on the tile, reducing visual clutter and giving dashboards a cleaner default view.

Available now for all customers. Open any dashboard to try it out.

Wrote a post on how Ashby Engineering is thinking about AI and the future. It's a tour of how we're operating with LLMs, how we're thinking about safety, and where this is going.

Enjoy :)

📲 Ashby Assistant is in Slack
Hiring conversations already happen in Slack. Before, taking action meant switching tools, opening Ashby, and doing the work outside of Slack.

Now you can DM the Ashby app to gather context across your Ashby data, then act directly from the conversation. Every action includes a preview and requires approval before running, so you stay in control.

From the same DM, you can:
📊 Ask about pipeline health, interview feedback, candidate history, or open roles
🔎 Broad search across Ashby data, candidate pools, and job postings
✉️ Advance candidates, submit feedback, add notes, and email candidates
🤖 Use your custom agents, like a debrief agent that preps you before back-to-backs
🔄 Pick up any conversation in the Ashby web app right where you left off in Slack

Available today as a free opt-in beta. Once generally available, it will consume your existing allotment of AI Credits.

[ashbyhq @ashbyhq]

✨ Introducing Ashby Assistant: AI agents with full context of your Ashby data that can take action on your behalf.

Recruiting teams juggle a ton: candidate sentiment, interview feedback, and pipeline status across open roles. Pulling it together and acting on it takes time.

Last week at hashtag#AshbyOne, we launched Ashby Assistant:
📊 Ask for a pipeline update and get candidate sentiment, stage, and interview concerns in one interface
📝 Draft emails, add notes, and advance candidates directly from chat
🤖 Build custom agents from templates or scratch for repeatable work like debrief summaries
👥 Share agents across your team so workflows stay consistent

Every action requires your approval before it runs, and responses include citations back to the underlying records in Ashby.

Available today as a free opt-in beta. Once generally available, it will consume your existing allotment of AI Credits. To enable it, go to Opt-In Features in your Admin settings.

🔎 New from Ashby One: AI Talent Rediscovery to surface your strongest past candidates that are already in Ashby

We launched AI Talent Rediscovery at Ashby One last week for Plus and Enterprise customers.

Your talent pool is full of strong candidates, but traditional keyword search makes it hard to rediscover them at scale. As soon as you open a new role, Ashby identifies promising candidates already in your database using the hiring criteria you have already defined, with no extra setup required. You can start a rediscovery search from scratch, link it to an existing job, or kick it off from within a job.

Instead of relying on exact keyword matches, AI understands candidate experience in context. It recognizes that someone who “owned full-cycle hiring for engineering roles” may be a strong fit for a Technical Recruiter search, even if that exact title never appears on their resume.

With AI Talent Rediscovery, you can:

🎖️ Resurface silver medalists, warm leads, and overlooked high-potential candidates
⏱️ Reduce sourcing time by starting with previously engaged talent
✅ Use your existing hiring criteria with no additional configuration required, plus leverage signals like feedback scores, resumes, source, and past interview progression
🔄 Automatically refresh returned candidates’ work history, location, and education at no additional cost
✨Take action right from results: consider someone for a job, add them to a project, or start an email sequence

Your best next hire may already be in Ashby, and AI Talent Rediscovery helps you find them.

See the link in the comments for more details.

Ashby is expanding our surface area! We're connecting some pre- and post-hire workflows that are key to helping you achieve excellence across your talent lifecycle.

We just announced our new People Workflows add-on, available in early access. People Workflows automatically orchestrates the tasks, handoffs, and communications for new-hire onboarding, making it easier to deliver an excellent experience.

Later this year, we're bringing intakes into Ashby: pulling the kickoff process into a structured format that powers downstream automations, AI evaluation criteria, job descriptions, and interview plans.

[ashbyhq @ashbyhq]

Today, we announced our first AI interviewer by bringing @TalentLlama into Ashby🎉

Since our acquisition in 2025, we've been rebuilding the AI Interviewer directly into the Ashby platform. Jump on the waitlist for early access in the coming weeks: https://t.co/nPek9uEI0Y

This is just one part of the broader set of AI capabilities we're rolling out.

[ashbyhq @ashbyhq]

✨ The next generation of AI in Ashby is here ✨

AI Talent Rediscovery is officially live for Plus and Enterprise customers today. This surfaces warm leads, silver medalists, and high-fit candidates from the data already in your CRM, and runs on existing AI credits.

Ashby Assistant + Custom Agents is in beta today, and free to try in Ashby and Slack. Ask questions and take actions across your candidates, jobs, and interviews.

Ashby's MCP Server will be launching in the coming weeks.

And later this year, Scheduling Agents are coming to Enterprise and Advanced Scheduling customers.

[ashbyhq @ashbyhq]

Strategic Implementations Manager, Morgan O'Marro, shared what's coming this summer to support our customers:
• Universal Booking Links
• Dayforce, SAP, and Oracle HCM integrations (built and maintained by Ashby)
• Audit Logs and Permission Profiles for Enterprise

Every improvement we make for either startups or enterprises strengthens the other. This allows us to deliver a product that truly grows with our customers.

@abhik on how Ashby builds ⬇️

We've made 130+ core product improvements in the last 12 months. We do this by:

• Mapping product and engineering teams directly to your recruiting workflow: Sourcing & CRM, Scheduling, Core ATS, Enterprise, Analytics.

• Sharing building blocks across reporting, workflow automation, design, and AI evaluation, so every feature feels familiar, even when it's new.

• Partnering closely with so many of our customers (@zapier @confluentinc @uipath @kong and more) via our design partner program to shape and guide our product releases.

Our product philosophy: providing a product robust enough to support core recruiting workflows WITH a unified product architecture that AI thrives on.
