AskCody Statement of Direction: Where We're Going Next

Statement of Direction

Last reviewed: September 2026.

This is AskCody's statement of direction: what we've shipped recently, where the Platform runs today, and the three directions we're building toward next. Everything listed as shipped is live now. Everything under Where We're Going is direction, not a date.

At AskCody we build the bridge between people, places and events, so the workplace works for the people in it.

Our meeting management Platform helps organizations control meetings, manage services and welcome visitors, inside the Microsoft 365 they already work in. Office admins, conference service managers, service teams and front desks get one view of the day, so meetings start on time, every time.

Recently Shipped

Visitor parking, handled at check-in (September 2026). In Denmark, a visitor registers a license plate at the check-in kiosk or at reception and receives an APCOA parking permit for the day. The plate is always optional, and a check-in without one works exactly as before.
The check-in kiosk recognizes expected visitors (August 2026). A pre-registered visitor enters their email, sees their details prefilled, adjusts what changed, and checks in. Reception sees one visit rather than two records for the same person. More on the front desk this is built for: 5 common front desk problems, and how to solve them.
The Microsoft Graph upgrade (August 2026). AskCody now connects to Exchange Online through Microsoft Graph. Microsoft retires EWS on 1 October 2026. We run the upgrade, with no downtime and nothing visibly different. The full story: The upgrade from EWS to Microsoft Graph is here.
The AskCody Assistant can navigate the Platform (May 2026). Describe what you're trying to do and the Assistant takes you to the right page, always telling you where it's going. Why an assistant and not a copilot: From Copilot to Assistant, evolving with intent.
Deeper Insights for reception and services (December 2025). See which days and hours your reception is busiest, and which items are requested from which providers over time. More on putting that data to work: Turning workplace analytics into action.

Everywhere You Work

A meeting doesn't happen in one place, so AskCody doesn't either. The Platform meets people on the surface they're already on, and the honest test of that promise is a list. Here's ours.

Live today. The Outlook add-in for booking rooms and ordering services. Central for the people who run the day. Maps for finding your way to the room. Room displays and meeting dashboards at the door and in the lobby. The check-in kiosk at reception. The Management Portal and Insights for the teams behind it all.
On the way. A native experience in Teams and in the new Outlook, so the Platform sits where our customers already spend the day.
No longer. The standalone iOS and Android apps, retired in August 2026. Removing a place people had to go is as much a part of this direction as adding one.

Where We're Going

Three directions. We publish what ships when it ships, and nothing below carries a date until it does.

Meetings created where they're managed. Central shows the whole day across every room, and today it manages meetings that already exist. Creating the booking from Central is in development now. Placing service requests and pre-registering visitors from the same screen follow it. The goal is one flow: book the room, invite the attendees, register the guest, order what the meeting needs, without changing screens.

Fewer places to go, not more. Every surface above earns its place or comes off the list. That's the discipline behind the promise, and it's why the mobile apps went.

An assistant that acts, not only answers. Navigation shipped in the spring. Next is acting on your behalf, with your organization's consent and starting with booking. Further out, making AskCody readable by the AI tools our customers choose for themselves.

Underneath all three sits a single Exchange integration on Microsoft Graph, ready for the EWS retirement on 1 October 2026. It's the foundation the rest is built on.

Every release is published, as it ships, on our product updates page. For the longer stories behind them, see the Product Blog.

Vision

By helping Organizations Manage Meetings Smarter, we're creating a Better Workplace Experience

Wanna know what gets us up in the morning?

Harmonizing the needs for both employees and organizations; the worker and the workplace

The workplace, or the organization, has a built-in paradox and dysfunctionality: embracing the needs of the individual employee, and aligning those with the needs of the organization. What's best for the organization or the workplace isn't necessarily what's best for the individual employee. Or what brings the highest productivity, happiness, or performance. And vice versa.

Providing tools and features for the individual employee, which give end-users what they need to be at their best, while providing the entire organization with the features, rules and policies it requires to embrace the organization's needs, is extremely complex, because how can you take care of both simultaneously?

The employee wants the meeting room with the nearest proximity, regardless of the purpose of the meeting or other requirements for in-room equipment; the Facilities and Hospitality teams want the user to book the room that utilizes the space best, ensuring the highest return on investment in real estate or the lowest utility costs. The employee wants total freedom, visibility, and ease of use. The organization needs some bureaucracy, rules, and standards.

Organizations are built on a duplexity, a dualism, an instance of opposition or contrast between two concepts: the organization and the employee, where needs and requirements are different, sometimes conflicting. What's best for the organization often brings added work, friction and bureaucracy to the employee, or what's best for the individual can't meet the needs or requirements of the organization supporting complex processes or security standards to make the workplace operate in accordance with the overall needs and ambition.

The question is now: how do you work with that duality and built-in complexity?

AskCody's holistic approach to transforming the workday and enabling organizations to create a better workplace experience, driving workplace utilization and employee productivity, focuses on harmonizing the needs of the single employee and the entire organization in parallel and symbiosis. We take care of both sides of the coin. We ensure that making something better for the organization doesn't come at the price of adding complexity or cumbersomeness to the other side.

We deeply care about providing a great end-user experience and focus on the needs of the end-user scheduling meetings and managing room bookings, while providing an enterprise-grade backbone that enables the wider organization to raise productivity and efficiency across the entire back office focused on serving meetings.

"For us it's all about meetings. And about the people managing them, hosting them, joining them and attending them, and the entire process around them.

At AskCody we have a unique capability in harmonizing the needs of both individuals and organizations. It's in our DNA, and it's the core of what our customers deeply care about. We will never build for 'one side' of the organization while compromising the other side's needs or way of work.

Because we dream about creating a future where you step into a workplace that finally works. Where meetings run smoothly, people stay focused, and the entire workplace moves with purpose. Where Rooms, Resources, Visitors and Services align effortlessly. Where your workplace becomes a place of harmony, and people create value instead of fighting scheduling complexity and battling about a place to work or meet.

AskCody makes that alignment possible.

Welcome to a world of better meetings."
