Product roadmap: What's ahead in 2026
Strategic vision: In 2026, Extole is focusing on developing agentic AI-powered tools that move beyond answering questions to taking direct, reliable action to optimize your programs and enhance the end-to-end customer experience. Here are some of the updates you can expect over the next few months:
New Member Center
A new consumer experience designed to provide a centralized place for customers to view referral progress and manage participation. Once launched, Member Center will empower customers to track their reward status, view live activities, and take action on earned rewards.
Enhanced Tango Integration
We are refining our Tango integration to bring Flow Builder reward emails, smarter gift card selection, and multi-balance Tango funding to Extole.
Extole MCP
The MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a dedicated connectivity layer that allows your team to manage Extole programs using an external AI tool like Claude or ChatGPT. A beta version of this is coming soon; please reach out for more info.
Updated AI Features
Marketers will soon enjoy AI-enhanced versions of our core features, like AI reporting, natural language configuration for program building and editing, and AI copy generation. For technical teams, AI-assisted integration and direct code access will streamline dev work.  
Inbound File Integrations
Guided Inbound File Integrations is coming to make common file-based data imports faster to launch, easier to configure, and more transparent to monitor with guided setup and reusable processing templates.
