The June release just dropped: smarter dashboards, calendar sync, and a Claude integration that fits this CLI like a glove.
Claude can now delegate Chaser tasks.
Hand Claude your Chaser workspace and it can assign tasks to teammates and generate project management reports on demand. Pair it with this CLI and your agents handle the whole loop: create, chase, report.
