This release brings expanded desktop and tablet views to Cloze, more AI, and several new integrations. The new full-screen views give you more ways to visualize and summarize your data. You’ll find a new beta option to try—Cloze uses AI to quickly summarize your recent timeline activity including emails, texts, and notes. Summaries are a helpful way to catch up on where you left off and what you’ve discussed recently.
We are also introducing a new way to sync your calls and texts with Cloze. If you have a Mac, you can sync your calls and texts to Cloze using iCloud instead of connecting to your iPhone. This option eliminates the need for Wi-Fi or a cable connection and removes the requirement to enter your passcode for each sync.
Key highlights of this release include:
- Full-screen table view
- Full-screen Kanban board view
- AI timeline summaries
- Use AI to create listing summaries from property pictures
- Campaign Analytics
- New integrations
Built-in support for AI Summaries and other generative AI is included with the Cloze Business Platinum Plan. These new features are available immediately on iOS, Android, and desktop (cloze.com).
Below you’ll find more details about these features and other enhancements.
Full-screen views
Cloze now offers four views to visualize your information:
- 2 Column: List and Details
- 2 Column: List and Classic Kanban
- Full-Screen: Table [NEW!]
- Full-Screen: Kanban Board [NEW!]
Simply tap on the View Settings icon to switch between views.
Full-Screen
New Table View
Use the table view to view people, companies, properties, and deals in a compact table layout. You can customize the view by adding and rearranging columns as needed. Learn more about the Cloze table view.
New Kanban Board View
Use the Full-Screen Kanban Board option to visualize your workflow. Columns can be grouped by Stages, Segments, or Custom Fields (that are set to be used on the Kanban). Learn more about the Full-Screen Kanban Board view.
In either of the full-screen views when you select a person you’ll see only their profile.
AI Timeline Summaries
In beta now: AI Summaries are an AI-generated concise overview of your recent timeline history. In a few seconds, Cloze uses artificial intelligence to summarize your recent email, text, and notes, allowing you to efficiently catch up on previous conversations and tasks.
An important note on privacy: The use of generative AI has exploded over the last year, but for some, it also raises privacy concerns. The AI models we use for summarizing your timelines are hosted by Cloze so your information never leaves your Cloze account.
Summaries appear just above the timeline.
Once enabled, summaries are generated automatically and will appear above the timeline. Summaries will update periodically as you continue to interact with the person.
- View Summary – Look for the gray box just above the timeline for the AI-generated summary.
- Show Key Takeaways – Tap on Show Key Takeaways to expand the summary to see a bulleted list of key items.
Enable this AI summary feature in settings.
