Coda’s been buzzing behind the scenes, tuning their product and exploring AI for app creation. Meanwhile, the community’s buzzing about new features like improved decimal support and pondering how AI can boost formula crafting.

📰 What’s Up At Coda? An Insider’s Peek Behind the Curtain

Hey Coda fans, Lane here — product lead at Coda — popping in because, yes, it’s been a bit quiet. We get it, silence feels a bit like waiting in a dark room for a bear hug that never comes. But fear not, friend! We’ve been deep in the trenches, stitching teams together and cooking up goodness you’ll love.

💡 AI & App-Building: The Big Question on Everyone’s Lips

You’ve probably heard the buzz: Airtable just dropped their shiny new AI-native Omni and something called "Vibe Coding" — basically AI that helps you build apps faster and smarter.

Cue the question from savvy community member Maxence: “Hey Coda! Are you planning anything similar to improve AI for app creation or formula crafting?” Great question! Many of us are dreaming of AI-powered helpers that whip up formulas or apps on our behalf.

Short answer? Coda’s experimenting, listening, and envisioning smarter, AI-backed tooling — but it’s not about chasing every shiny new feature. They want AI that really helps you get stuff done, without gimmicks.

💬 What does this mean for you?

More powerful formula creation with less headache
Smarter automation and app-building assistance
Tools that respect your workflow, not muddy it

Remember, Coda’s about bringing your ideas to life, your way — AI will be a sidekick, not a dictator.

🛠️ Tiny Wins That Matter: Decimal Separator Update (Finally!)

Shoutout time to the Coda team for finally nailing support for comma decimal separators! 🎉 To billions of users worldwide who write numbers as 1.000,000 instead of 1,000.000 — this is huge.

Konrad’s hyped, joking about boats and floats, but seriously, this update means your data feels right in your locale. No more frustrating manual tweaks or weird formatting hacks.

PS: It seems this update is currently for new documents only. But folks are hoping for a toggle to apply it retroactively — fingers crossed!
