Roadmap
Static Integration Today, Autonomous Collaboration Next
LVIS's next direction is growing plugins from simple tool-calling modules into companions capable of their own workspace, autonomous action, and delegation between people. This is a declaration of direction, not a schedule commitment.
Vision
Every change falls under one of the six directions below. A single version can advance several directions at once, and each direction matures gradually across multiple versions.
Plugin to Connector + UI
Grows beyond simple tool-calling into a first-class connector that also provides its own workspace and live widgets.
Plugin = Sub-agent
Plugins become small agents that call multiple tools in a row on their own judgment. The user sets the scope of delegation.
Making use of idle time
Quietly handles indexing, summarizing, and prep work while the user isn't looking, then yields immediately once they return.
Capability Pack
Combines plugins, agents, MCP, and skills — currently published separately — into one bundle for single-step publish and install.
Richer automation
Expands beyond simple time/end triggers into conditional automation that combines email, meeting, and calendar events.
Hooks — standard points to plug into
Exposes standard points in the host flow — tool execution, permission grants, routine firing, and more — where plugins can safely step in.
Flow by version
Starting from v1 "Foundation" through to v4 "Frontier." Each version carries a single tone.
- v1
Foundation — Elevating plugins to connector status
Plugin Workspace — richer UI
In progressUntil now, a plugin could only have one small area inside the sidebar. The next step expands this so plugins can have their own workspace, multiple panels, and draggable widgets.
Capability Pack — publish as a single bundle
PlannedToday, plugins, agents, MCP, and skills are each published and installed separately. Once a publisher bundles them into one package, users can install everything in a single step.

ExploringRight now there are only two triggers: "on end" and "scheduled time." This expands into conditional automation combining email, meeting, and calendar events.
Expanding plugin lifecycle stages
PlannedLets plugins define their own behavior at more points in time — when installed, when activated, when a token expires, and more.

- v2
Autonomous — plugins become small agents
Plugin = Sub-agent (autonomous execution)
ExploringPlugins currently only respond when called. In the next step, once the user consents, a plugin becomes a small agent that calls multiple tools in sequence on its own judgment.

ExploringWhile the user isn't looking at LVIS, it quietly handles work like indexing, summarizing, and preparing ahead of time, then yields immediately once the user returns.
Live widgets
PlannedBeyond static cards, widgets that update in real time can appear inside the chat body — for example, a meeting transcript widget showing STT results live.
Standard hook points into the host flow
ExploringExposes standard points in the host flow — right before/after tool execution, when permission is granted, and more — where plugins can safely hook in.

- v3
Open — connecting to the outside world
Local LLM fallback path
ExploringCan automatically switch to an on-device LLM (such as Ollama) so core flows keep working even when the network is down.
Federation — connecting to other hosts
ExploringCurrently this only works within a single organization. This expands it so work can be delegated to, or messages exchanged with, other LVIS users.

PlannedAutomatically assesses the risk of tools from external MCP servers so operators can approve them quickly.
- v4
Frontier — safer, and closer at hand
Stronger plugin isolation
ExploringIntroduces a sandbox that caps memory, CPU, and network usage so third-party publisher packages can run more safely.
User automation performance board
PlannedSee on one screen how many of the suggestions you received you accepted, and which automations saved the most time.
Mobile and external-tool companions
ExploringProvides a mobile app and IDE/launcher extensions for quickly handling just the board, inbox, and approval responses.
