Email Summaries, meanwhile, will let practitioners quickly scan and process emails, which she said will be especially useful during busy periods.
Davis Bell, CEO of Canopy, said in an email that Document Automation is in a small closed beta right now and the company doesn't have anticipated release dates yet for the Email Summary feature.
Hurst also announced Hannah Bjornn as its new vice president of product. Prior to joining Canopy, she was managing partner at Remedy, a full-service product management consultancy. Prior to that, she was vice president of product with tax planning and client collaboration solutions provider Corvee, and before that was assistant vice president of product with employee benefits solutions provider PlanSource.
In addition to Bjornn's appointment, Hurst said Canopy is also expanding its R&D team with multiple new hires across various functional areas. Bell, the CEO, declined to release the total number of new R&D hires but they are bringing on board a variety of product managers, QA, AI engineers, frontend engineers, and mobile engineers.
