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.
