Is it too late to say Happy New Year? We’re still in celebration mode at Wrike HQ as we reflect on the marvelous milestones of last year, from our groundbreaking 2023 Efficiency Report to our best ever Wrike Collaborate conference.
Here’s a quick recap of our big product updates in 2023:
- The rollout of Wrike Lightspeed
- The introduction of Wrike’s copilot for work management, offering updates to Wrike’s Work Intelligence® suite such as generative AI and AI suggestions for automation
- The launch of next-gen analytics, including new dashboards and a revamped Chart view
- The release of new and updated views
- The enhanced features for creative and digital asset workflows
… but you already knew all that. What you might not know is how our customers contribute to this kind of product success.
