- Hosted MCP server (OAuth) included free on every plan, connecting OKRs to Claude and other AI assistants
- Broad pre-made reporting — exec report, business reviews, momentum map — plus an in-app present mode
- Sluggish and buggy in our hands-on test — edits didn't display, several reports never loaded, and the AI Coach misread our goals
- No data connectors — key results update manually, with task links syncing one-way daily and the REST API behind a paid add-on
- No per-key-result panel or trend chart, and metric formats stop at number, percentage, and yes-no
