Technical Changes from the Obie Dashboard Redesign
It was a long time coming: improvements to Obie’s dashboard. I wrote the dashboard very early on in the company, and have since learned and grown so much in my development skills, as most coders do over a period of years. My team and I worked diligently in Q1 to redesign…
A brand new way to search for knowledge at work
Massive product updates for Obie and some design thinking behind them Summer (or lack there of) here in Canada is near, and it’s only been 2 months since our last product update (a major one, at that) but we have so much to share, including some massive changes and updates to the…
The Future of Obie

Building Obie.ai for Stride
Whether you work in a small team or a larger enterprise juggling and finding the right internal knowledge when you need it is no easy task. And for teams that rely heavily on messaging (which most organizations do), it’s especially easy to allow conversational knowledge to not be turned into…
Obie 0.8 [BETA] Changelog
Obie is better and smarter at returning more relevant Page results. TL;DR: Better. If you had a large Google Drive, Obie was very slow at returning results. We cut the time down to 10% of what it originally was. No one should ever be penalized for storing too much knowledge.…
A Modern Day Love Story
A memoir of Obie, our beloved users and of course, Slack. I published this blog on behalf of our toothy friend. It was the beginning of a beautiful relationship. Unlike those that start slow, the flame of romance burned a little brighter with each moment we shared together. It began as a…
