What is Affinity Labs?

Affinity Labs gives you early access to AI-powered features designed to accelerate your workflow. Test new capabilities before they’re generally available, share feedback that shapes our roadmap, and opt in or out of individual features anytime. Labs features that prove successful graduate into permanent capabilities in Affinity. Features that don’t deliver value are retired based on usage data and your feedback. Key benefits:
  • Early access: Be first to test intelligent features woven seamlessly into your workflow
  • Your choice: Select which innovations to try — opt in or out of individual features anytime
  • Shape the roadmap: Your feedback and usage directly influence what becomes permanent

How Labs works

Finding Labs: Click Labs in Settings (accessed from your left nav) to access all available features. Opting in: Toggle individual features on or off based on what’s useful for your workflow. All Labs features are free while in testing. Providing feedback: Share your experience with Labs features through in-app surveys or by contacting your Customer Success Manager. Your feedback determines which features graduate to permanent status. Opting out: You can disable individual features or opt out of the entire Labs program at any time from the Labs section.
Admins control whether Labs is enabled for your organization in Settings → Affinity AI. See Manage AI Settings (Admin Guide) for org-level configuration.

How we evaluate Labs features

Labs is an experimentation platform. We evaluate each feature within 4–6 weeks of launch using your feedback and usage data to decide what happens next. What we look at:
  • Feature usage and adoption patterns
  • Your feedback through surveys, support conversations, and in-app ratings
  • Performance and reliability
  • Strategic fit with Affinity’s roadmap

Three possible outcomes

🎓 Graduate to General Availability Features that prove valuable become permanent Affinity capabilities. They’re removed from Labs and available to all customers based on subscription tier. 🔄 Improve and continue Features showing promise but needing refinement stay in Labs while we make improvements based on your feedback. 🌅 Sunset Features that don’t deliver sufficient value are retired with 1-week advance notice to active users. We preserve any content you’ve created and learn from the experiment. Timeline: Most experiments are evaluated within 4–6 weeks. We keep Labs focused on 3–5 active features at any time to ensure we can iterate quickly on what matters most.

Experiment archive

Labs features that were tested and retired — what we learned.

Summarization

Summarize Recent Activities

  • Tested: November 2025 – March 2026
  • Sunset: March 2026
  • What it did: Summarized recent interaction metadata (email/meeting counts, dates, contact names) without analyzing communication content.
  • Why retired: Feature operated on metadata only and couldn’t surface the insights users actually wanted — topics and themes of communications, actionable next steps.
  • What we learned: Users need content-based summaries that analyze what was discussed, not just metadata about when discussions happened.
  • Your data: Any summaries you created are preserved in your Notes.

Content Creation

Recent News on People Profiles

  • Tested: November 2025 – March 2026
  • Sunset: March 2026
  • What it did: Generated recent web news for individual people profiles.
  • What we learned: People-specific news wasn’t reliably providing valuable content to users.
