In the second half of 2025, we focused on features that help you cut noise, reach everyone, and run your workday with less effort.
H2 has been busy in the best way. We’ve spent the second half of 2025 improving the parts of your Digital Home that make the biggest difference: clarity, connection and ease of use.
Our focus this year was simple:
- Reduce noise and make information easier to find
- Help people stay connected wherever they work
- Build practical AI into the flow of everyday tasks
Below is a straightforward breakdown of what’s new in Haiilo and how each update helps your organization.
New: cleaner, clearer digital signage layouts
Clear, up to date information on screens helps you reach people who are not behind a desk. With the new layout options, your digital signage becomes easier to read and much more useful for teams on the move. It gives you a simple way to keep factory floors, stores and shared spaces aligned without extra work.
Inside Studio, you can pick from fresh layouts, assign them to different locations and publish screen content in a few steps. You can show announcements, events or alerts and keep every site on track with what matters.
New: customizable Kudos that reflect your culture
Recognition works best when it feels like a natural part of your culture. Customizable Kudos helps you make appreciation more personal and more frequent, which builds stronger relationships and keeps people motivated in their daily work.
You can set up your own badge styles, create recognition types that match your values and highlight achievements for whole teams or individuals. You shape the way your organization celebrates success, and the platform supports it.
New: targeted hero teaser slider for your homepage
Your homepage should show people what they need right away. The Hero Teaser slider helps you do that by giving your most important updates clear space at the top of the page. This increases visibility and helps your teams focus on what matters.
You can add several hero banners, target them to the right groups and make sure each one displays cleanly on mobile. It gives you a simple way to lead readers to the content you want them to see first.
New: interactive org charts to find people
Understanding who does what should not take guesswork. Org Charts give your teams a clear view of reporting lines and help new joiners learn how the company fits together. This makes collaboration smoother and cuts time spent searching for the right contact.
You can open any team, explore roles at a glance and jump straight from the chart to a profile. Everything updates automatically so you always see an accurate picture of your organization.
New: personalised employee space for everyday focus
A clear start to the day helps you work with less noise. The Employee Space gives every person a simple workspace with the tools and updates they use the most. It reduces app hopping and keeps daily tasks easy to follow.
You can set up widgets, add quick links and keep events and tasks in one place. Each dashboard adjusts to the person who is using it so the essentials are always right in front of them.
Our priorities for 2026: clarity, simplicity and smart support
As we head into 2026, our focus is clear:
- A cleaner, more intuitive Digital Home that scales with your organization
- Practical automation that reduces manual work and strengthens quality
- A seamless experience across desktop, mobile and frontline environments
- Better governance and findability for global teams
And woven through all of this is our approach to AI, not as a standalone feature, but as part of how Haiilo helps people find their flow.
How AI fits into the future of Haiilo
We’ve always aimed to meet the employees where they are. That doesn’t change with AI. We don’t see the intranet as just a backend feeding information into a chatbot. We believe people still need to be reached, no matter where they are, and that requires a digital home that feels human, familiar, and personal – even in the hybrid workplace. That’s why AI belongs wherever the employees are: in the intranet? Check. On mobile? Check.
In 2026, you’ll see AI show up in ways that:
- Remove friction rather than add steps — streamline everyday tasks so employees can take action instantly without switching tools, navigating menus, or learning something new.
- Help employees get answers faster — give people clear, trustworthy responses in seconds, so they spend less time searching and more time doing.
- Improve the clarity and consistency of your communication — support every message with AI that helps teams write clearly, stay on brand, and ensure important information actually lands.
- Keep your intranet fresh without increasing admin — let AI tidy, summarize, and surface relevant content proactively, so the intranet always feels current without extra manual work.
- Support people with the tools they already use — bring AI directly into familiar workflows like mobile, intranet, or Copilot, making adoption natural and effortless for everyone.
As we move toward 2026, we’re building the next generation of AI features to bring more clarity, connection, and ease into everyone’s flow of work. And the best part? The best is still to come.
