What we shipped this weekend: Arboris builds reports, password reset, and more

Big weekend. The team shipped a stack of improvements that touch almost every screen in the product — from the moment you sign up to the moment you ask the AI for a report. Here's the customer- readable tour.

Arboris can now build your reports

Arboris, the AI assistant baked into your dashboard, used to answer questions about your inventory. Now it can do things too. Ask it to generate a PDF report for any property in your inventory and it will compile one — directly in the chat, with a clickable download link when it's ready.

“Generate the property report for 312 Aberom St.”
Arboris pulls every tree, builds the cover narrative, attaches the species summary and risk matrix, and hands you the PDF. About 30 seconds, no clicking through screens.

This is the first of a series of capabilities Arboris is gaining. Generating reports was the most-requested action; voice-to-action and bulk edits are queued next.

Arboris also got smarter

  • Sharper context. When you ask about a single tree or a single property, Arboris now narrows its memory to just the relevant data instead of dumping the whole inventory into its working window. Faster answers, fewer hallucinations.
  • Memory across follow-ups.Ask about a tree, then ask “what about its hazard rating?” and Arboris remembers what you were just looking at. No more re-stating “the oak at the front of the property” on every turn.
  • A visible reasoning trace.If you're curious why Arboris answered a particular way, you can now see the steps it took (classifying your intent, loading inventory, drafting the response). Transparency without noise — collapsed by default.
  • Better first-impression answers.New users asking about pricing, plans, or how to get started no longer get deflected with “I'm an arborist assistant.” Arboris answers product questions directly.
  • Clickable tree citations.When Arboris references a specific tree in its answer, that mention is now a link straight to the tree's detail page. No more scrolling the inventory to find what it was talking about.

Forgot password? Now you can fix it yourself

Until this weekend, anyone who forgot their password had no in-app way to recover their account — the only path was emailing support. Now there's a Forgot password?link on the sign-in screen. Enter your email, get a 6-digit code, type it in, set a new password, you're back in. About 30 seconds, no link clicking required.

Same OTP pattern as our existing signup verification, so it feels consistent with the rest of the auth flow. Mobile got the same three-stage flow in the 1.0.3 build now rolling out to the App Store and Google Play.

A proper welcome for new accounts

New signups now go through a quick 2-step setup before reaching the dashboard:

  1. Tell us about your business — your company name (which prints on every PDF report) and an optional website.
  2. Invite your team — drop in a few teammate emails so they can capture trees from the field. Skippable, but it takes ten seconds.

Before this, every new account silently inherited a placeholder name like “Smith's Company.” That string appeared on client-facing PDFs unless you remembered to change it in settings. No more.

Mobile gets the same wizard in 1.0.3, with a “Set up later” option if you'd rather get to the dashboard first. A dashboard banner stays put until you finish.

Voice notes feel instant

Hold-to-talk voice notes used to make you wait while Whisper transcribed your audio and Claude classified it into structured fields. Now the note appears in the list the moment you release the button — a placeholder card with a subtle shimmer — and the transcription fills in seconds later in the background. You can record another note, scroll, or navigate while the previous one processes.

Same pattern for typed notes: instant insert, no spinner.

iOS gets a cleaner header

On iOS 26, every detail screen was shipping with translucent liquid-glass circle bezels around the back arrow and 3-dot menu — a system-applied chrome that Android doesn't have. We replaced the native nav bar with a custom header so iOS and Android now look identical: clean icons on a flat dark bar.

Mobile signup verification was also broken since launch (the 6-digit OTP entry screen was missing on the email/password path). Fixed in the same 1.0.3 build, alongside a redesigned unnamed-org banner (single-line, properly inset under the status bar so it stops double-padding the home feed) and an org switcher that scrolls long lists inside the modal instead of pushing buttons off-screen.

Docs are now public

We launched a documentation site at treeinventory.ai/docs. Over the weekend it grew from a 7-page starter set to 23 pages across two tracks:

  • Product guides:getting started, capturing trees, photos & markup, voice notes, hazard tagging, generating reports, sharing reports, the dashboard, and account & team management.
  • Arboriculture references:TRAQ hazard rating, species ID, structural pruning, root zone protection, soil assessment, mulch & irrigation, pest & disease basics, and tree biomechanics.

More guides land each week. If there's something you wish was documented, send us a note.

And a public changelog

Every shipped change now has a permanent home at treeinventory.ai/changelog. Atomic entries, individual permalinks, RSS feed, and an auto-generated social card per release. We backfilled 24 entries spanning the last two months so you can see what's been moving even before you started watching.

Smaller things worth mentioning

  • Account deletion preview now shows your real organization names instead of the awkward “Unknown organization” placeholder.
  • A nudge banner appears on the dashboard if your company name isn't set yet — clicks straight into the new onboarding wizard.
  • PDF download links inside Arboris responses are now clickable (some link types weren't rendering).
  • On the team settings screen, your own row no longer shows a “remove” button or role dropdown. You can't accidentally demote or eject yourself.

What's next

Arboris keeps gaining capabilities: voice-to-action and bulk edits are queued next. The docs site keeps growing. And we're watching the 1.0.3 mobile rollout closely so any rough edges get ironed out fast.

As always, ping us if anything breaks or feels off. We read every message.
