Release notes
Version 0.8.6
This release captures the current TOFO product shape described on the landing page: create a project from an idea, run a synthetic team, generate a structured verdict, and turn that output into an execution plan.
What's New in 0.8.6
- Fixed: autostart and persona selection from the project creation form now correctly carry through to the project page.
- Fixed: the 'Launch simulation automatically' toggle now works — the simulation starts immediately on project open when enabled.
- Fixed: selected team presets now pass their persona IDs to the thinking graph session on launch.
- Removed orphaned project creation page and its dead components (NewProjectForm, actions, TeamPreviewPanel) — project creation now lives exclusively in the modal on the Projects page.
- Replaced incorrect useState-based mutable ref with useRef in the project creation modal.
Core Workflow
- Create a project from a raw idea, prompt, tags, and optional attachments.
- Run a synthetic team against the idea instead of relying on a single generic model response.
- Move from idea input to structured analysis in a single workflow.
- Keep the project ready for repeated iterations as assumptions change.
Synthetic Analysis
- Configure a team of synthetic roles such as Founder, CTO, CFO, and CMO.
- Model how different roles evaluate the same idea from different angles.
- Support connection-based reasoning between synthetics instead of isolated opinions only.
- Surface disagreement, uncertainty, and blockers before a final verdict.
Reports And Decisions
- Generate a structured report with a Go / No-Go style recommendation.
- Break analysis down by expert so every role's reasoning stays visible.
- Track risks and decision blockers instead of returning only a summary verdict.
- Preserve iteration history so multiple report versions can be compared over time.
Execution Planning
- Turn report output into an implementation plan after the analysis step.
- Support planning formats such as sprints, phases, flat backlog, and role-based views.
- Expose concrete tasks, ownership, and planning structure rather than only recommendations.
- Bridge the gap between strategic validation and execution planning in one system.
Current Product Shape
- Idea entry, synthetic team setup, report generation, and planning now exist as one connected flow.
- The product is positioned around decision support before execution, not just content generation.
- TOFO is built to help founders and product teams understand whether to proceed and what to do next.
- Version 0.8.6 reflects the current pre-release shape of the product described on the landing page.
