This week in Adapt: text your agent, deeper research, and gated PRs

Welcome to the first weekly Adapt roundup. For this first one, we'll presume no context, so allow me to introduce uhm, us. I'm Dustin and I lead the team building Adapt: the integrated coworker. Lots of companies are saying very similar things (I've lost track of the number of company brain, AI computer, coworker products), but we're different in the sense that we aim to integrate with anything and amplify the impact and outcomes for human workers, not replace them. Our mission is to make any company instantly AI-native with the product we're building for teams, not just individuals.

Towards those goals, each and every week we aim to integrate with more data sources, more extension points, and continue to make Adapt the best integrated coworker on the market.

We plan to build Adapt in the open, so these posts are written by hand by a human who took the time to thoughtfully share something that we're proud of and hope that you use to make your life better. We'll share one each and every week via our blog and changelog, which we hope you'll subscribe to!

Now enough of that, let's get to it. What shipped this week?

TL;DR

For those with short attention spans (like uhm, cough, yours truly) here's a simple list:

• Messages integration. We now support integration with iMessage (and RCS and SMS) so that you can get the power of Adapt (integrations, knowledge, and our sandbox where work gets done by the Adapt agent) directly from perhaps the most used surface on your phone: your messages app!
• Premium integrations for research. We launched a capability that enables the Adapt search agent to pull from additional data sources without having to configure them, things like LinkedIn, SimilarWeb, etc. This unlocks a more powerful Adapt for more deeply researching your market, understanding leads and product SKUs, etc.
• Gated pull request reviews. Last week we launched code review from the Adapt agent in GitHub, and this week we improved on it by enabling the Adapt reviewer to be gated and block PRs pending a shippable score for confident delivery of high-quality code, that taps into Adapt's integrations, sandbox, and knowledge layer.
• Bring your own Shopify app. We've long supported Shopify but we now enable e-commerce operators to bring their own Shopify app and to let Adapt handle the token refresh and webhook endpoints so you can focus on building great e-commerce experiences, not re-configuring them and generating new keys.
• Workflows examples. We launched some workflows that we use across the Adapt team from Engineering, Marketing, and Customer Support so that there are more helpful examples of how an AI-native team really gets work done not just toys in the industry. Check them out!

Now to go deeper.

Messages integrations

We've been hard at work at becoming the integrated coworker, and one of the key parts of that philosophy is ensuring that we integrate with anything and everything. One of our other core philosophies is that we meet you wherever you work, and as of this release, now that includes a companion agent directly in a device we know everyone has: a phone!

Adapt now lives in your phone's messaging app — iMessage on iPhone, RCS on Android, with SMS as a fallback. Connect your number once and you can text the same Adapt you use everywhere else, with the same history and the same access to your integrations, company knowledge, and skills. Start a thread from your phone and pick it up later in the web app, Slack, or the Chrome extension.

Ask a quick question between meetings, kick off a report from the car, or reply to a scheduled digest right from the thread. Adapt can do real work, from scheduling a meeting to pulling numbers from your connected tools, and answers that include a chart, table, or file arrive as attachments.

Connecting takes one step. From Settings → Integrations → Messaging you can either:

• Use your registered number — if your mobile number is already on your organization's roster under your Adapt email, connect it in one click.
• Register a new number — enter your mobile number, get a one-time code, and text it to your Adapt number from that phone to prove it's yours.

Premium integrations for research

Adapt can now go beyond ordinary web search by drawing on specialized, structured data when a question calls for it. It combines those findings with current open-web sources, checks the evidence across both, and returns one answer with citations.

There are no separate accounts or integrations to set up. Deeper research is available on paid plans and active pilots, with premium sources billed in credits as part of normal usage. Here's what you can dig into:

• Companies and people — build prospect lists, enrich company profiles, and research professional backgrounds.
• Markets and competitors — compare website traffic, engagement, rankings, and similar companies.
• Public companies — find market data and recent news tied to specific companies and tickers.
• Business verification — check US business registrations, officers, and compliance signals.
• Products and pricing — search product catalogs across brands and merchants.
• Podcasts — find relevant episodes and pull transcript excerpts with speakers and timestamps.
• Travel — compare destinations and discover airfare from a specific departure point.

Ask a research question as usual and Adapt selects the sources that fit, searches the open web in parallel for verification, and combines the results into a cited response — as a report, table, or other structured output when the task calls for it.

Gate pull requests on Adapt's review

Adapt's automated PR review now runs as a first-class GitHub check named Adapt Review on the PR's latest commit. Make it a required status check and merges stay blocked until Adapt signs off.

When a PR is opened, marked ready for review, or receives a new push, Adapt starts an Adapt Review check run on the head commit and reviews the change. When the review posts, the check concludes:

• Pass — confidence score of 3/5 or higher. The change looks safe to merge.
• Fail — confidence score below 3/5. The check's summary carries the full review, so the reason is one click away.
• Neutral — the review was skipped or didn't produce a verdict (for example, on a bot-authored PR). Neutral never blocks a merge.

Every new push gets a fresh review and a fresh check, so the gate covers the exact commit you're merging — not a stale one. And if a review can't run or gets cancelled, Adapt concludes the check as neutral instead of leaving it hanging, so a required check never wedges a PR.

Adapt also now appears in the Reviewers sidebar on every PR it reviews — a real reviewer, right in the GitHub UI, carrying the confidence score, summary, important files changed, and inline findings.

Gate merges on it with a branch ruleset: Settings → Rules → Rulesets, enable Require status checks to pass, and add Adapt Review.

Bring your own Shopify app

You can now connect Shopify to Adapt through your own custom OAuth app. Save your app's credentials once for your organization, choose exactly which read permissions Adapt can use, and authorize one or more stores over OAuth — no Admin API access tokens to copy or rotate.

• Bring your own app — create a custom-distribution app in the Shopify Dev Dashboard and choose the read permissions Adapt can use, including orders, products, customers, inventory, locations, and analytics.
• Set it up once — go to Settings → Integrations → Shopify, enter the app's Client ID and Client Secret, and save. Adapt encrypts them at rest and uses them for your organization's Shopify connections.
• Connect each store over OAuth — click Connect, enter the store's myshopify.com domain, and approve access in Shopify.
• Work with live commerce data — ask Adapt to analyze sales, customers, products, inventory, and store performance alongside data from your other connected tools.

Workflows

We launched multiple skills that aren't just toys and fun examples, but reusable workflows that really drive key jobs in key functions. Specifically, we launched:

• Code Janitor. This is an example of a "factory pattern" like optimization we've been using in Engineering to keep our code base well maintained and the foundation stable and solid.
• Docs and Changelog. We launch regularly and often and we use a #shipped channel in Slack where Adapt then monitors and responds with appropriate updates to the changelog and our documentation.
• SEO Agent. Our marketing team uses this workflow to analyze for patterns and find novel optimizations for our page content and structure to rank more highly in search engines and (increasingly) for users using AI agents who are discovering content.

Quality of life improvements

A couple of smaller quality-of-life releases from earlier this week:

• Chat persistence — unsent text in the composer now survives reloads and switching between chats, cached per conversation and cleared once you send.
• Connection health alerts — integrations that stop working (expired tokens, revoked grants) are flagged in Settings → Integrations with a banner, an amber status dot, and a "Needs attention" filter, instead of failing silently.

That's it for this week. Follow along on the changelog for entries as they ship, or check back here every week for the roundup.
