As of June 1, 2026, Robin has an updated logo across the Robin platform, including the web app, mobile app, and emails.

Nothing about your Robin account, configuration, or services has changed. This is simply a visual update to our logo.

What to expect during the transition

You may temporarily see both the previous and new logos as updates continue to roll out across the Robin platform and related materials. Mobile app icons may continue showing the previous logo until individual users update their Robin mobile app.

Simplify how employees plan their work week with a more intuitive, natural language booking experience in Robin

Plan your week with informed desk, parking or any of your typically used resource recommendations, quickly add missing spaces to your meetings, and view upcoming reservations. See additional details below.

US only on the Robin mobile app (expanded access coming soon). Robin does not use your data to train models. To be included in the EAP, reach out to your Customer Success Manager.


Plan your week:

Bringing bulk control to your planning workflow to quickly fill in missing resources to match your upcoming schedule, based on what you commonly use. This unifies reservation workflows between desks & resources like parking, lockers, iPads etc. etc. so you can book more efficiently in a guided flow.

Confirm each resource by day by selecting the in-line check mark, accept all for a specific day, or book all for the week to secure all suggestions. Once your reservations are confirmed, you are good to go.

Note that resource suggestions require data within the last 30 days. If you haven't booked before, you can simply ask the agent to book you a desk. Updating your working location and work schedule will help refine your suggestions.

View reservations

Click the Lookup reservations prompt to quickly see what you already have reserved for an increment within the next 30 days.

Meeting & event space suggestions

The agent will find available rooms based on your event criteria and suggest the best match for the next 7 days. Simply ask the agent for "spaces," confirm what you need, and move onto your next task.

The agent will auto-hide meetings that you don't have permission to edit, have no other attendees, or already have a space. To see the full list toggle "Show all events"


Coming soon: full reservation support

View past booking history, edit upcoming reservations, access working preferences, book on behalf of other employees (for admins or delegates) all with natural language.


Feedback

Let us know what you think--directly in the agent experience. Click the thumbs up or down and leave an optional comment to get your thoughts directly to the team. If there's something you wish the agent could do - please share!

To be included in the EAP, reach out to your Customer Success Manager.

Add the right room to your Google Calendar meetings without the hassle. The new Robin browser extension brings smart room suggestions and quick controls directly into Google Calendar's full event view.

Video

What's new:

  • Add rooms (spaces) to Google Calendar events from the full event view in Chrome
  • Get smart suggestions based on your activity type, with spaces matched to permissions, availability and fit
  • See alternative options or suggested meeting times if your first choice isn't available
  • Add multiple spaces to coordinate larger meetings
  • Remove or change rooms in one click

How it works:

Install the Robin extension from the Chrome Web Store. Open a meeting in Google Calendar's full event view, launch the Robin extension, review the suggested rooms based on time and availability, then add one or more rooms. You can remove or change rooms anytime before sending the invite. We expect to add the ability to book a desk from the extension in Q4.

Meeting coordination shouldn't eat up hours of your week. Yet for workplace teams managing hundreds of bookings, manual rescheduling has become an unavoidable time drain. Until now.

Robin's AI Scheduling Agent transforms how you manage meeting spaces. This isn't a suggestion engine. It's an intelligent system that understands your office ecosystem and actively resolves scheduling complexity.

How it works

Drag a meeting to a new space on the Meeting Rooms page. If there's a conflict, the agent instantly kicks in. Hit "Fix Conflicts" and watch it find optimal alternatives for displaced meetings, handle all rescheduling logistics and manage notifications to affected attendees.

Need to clear a meeting room for emergency maintenance? Simple chat with the agent or drag that day's meetings to a new space. The agent automatically relocates every affected booking, finds appropriate alternatives and notifies everyone involved.

A workflow that used to consume 20+ minutes now resolves in 30 seconds.

The agent respects calendar permissions, capacity requirements and booking rules. If a space is too small, you'll see a warning but can still proceed. Request-only rooms and restricted spaces remain protected.

Built for the people doing the work

This capability is designed for workplace managers handling last-minute floor closures, executive assistants juggling VIP event prep and operations teams who need to act fast when priorities shift.

The early access program launches with drag-and-drop rescheduling and AI-powered conflict resolution. We're already building the next phase of the Scheduling Agent: meeting creation, enhanced UX updates and features driven by your feedback.

What this means

This is AI working as an operator, not a copilot. Your team reclaims hours every week. Hours that now go toward strategy, experience design and actually improving how your office works.

If you're still untangling meeting conflicts manually, that era just ended. Reach out to your Customer Success Manager or email support@robinpowered.com to join the Early Access Program.

Quickly get to the bottom of event issues with the Calendar Event Audit Log.

Admins can use this tool to trace exactly what happened with a meeting or booking, making it easier to identify issues or confirm changes. Whether you have a specific Event ID in question or need to narrow down by building, floor, and time range, the audit log gives you the details you need to troubleshoot and resolve scheduling problems fast.

  • Navigate to the Manage tab and select Event Audit Logs. Search by Event ID or location & time.

  • Expand rows to drill into the changes made for each event.

  • Available events for tracking:
    • DESCRIPTION
    • ORGANIZER_EMAIL
    • ENDED_AT
    • ENDED_AT_TIMEZONE
    • IS_ALL_DAY
    • LOCATION
    • RECURRENCE
    • SPACE_ID
    • STARTED_AT
    • STARTED_AT_TIMEZONE
    • STATUS
    • TITLE
    • VISIBILITY

Notification Management

Admins now have more control over member notifications to reduce noise and promote a focused workflow for their end users. This enhancement includes:

  • Admins determine which types can be controlled for end-users

  • Teams notification settings can now be controlled from within Robin
  • Users are able to toggle on/off anything an Admin has turned on

SCIM Settings

Customers who have purchased SCIM can be confident their Robin profiles won't fall out of sync from their system of record.

  • Admin controlled member profile settings (name, email & security pages) read-only from Robin.
  • If you wish to block users from updating their profile photo through Robin, reach out to support or your CSM and this setting can be removed.

  • The security pages have been updated to remove "account deactivation" from end-users

Integration Management

Admins can curate their environment based on relevant 3rd party apps. If a Microsoft shop, quickly disable any slack/google properties and vice-versa.

  • Admin control over member’s available integrations*

  • "Allow personal integration" can be toggled off before needing to credential in to the 3rd party app.

*Please note if you have allowed integrations in the past, toggling the integration OFF will only prevent new connections and will not disconnect prior credentials. Need to remove those prior-authorizations? Reach out to Robin Support or your CSM to assist.

Keeping track of who’s in the office shouldn’t feel like guesswork. With the latest Daily roster updates — now found directly in the side panel of the Manage tab — it’s easier than ever to get a real-time, detailed view of office attendance all in one place.

Here’s what’s new:

  • New attendance stat: See how many people plan to be in the office and how many are in the office — with or without a desk reservation — in a glance.

  • Smarter check-in visibility: Hover over an employee’s check-in status to see exactly when and how they checked in.

  • Clickable names and desks: Names and assigned desks are now clickable and will take you to an employee's profile or the location of their desk reservation on the office map.

  • Faster access: Find the Daily roster right under the Manage tab.

  • Clearer statuses: Understand attendance with new check-in labels:

    • Checked in remotely

    • Checked in on-site

    • Scheduled

  • Department insights: View and search employees by department.

The Daily roster now gives workplace teams a clearer, more complete view of who’s in the office and how they checked in. Learn more here.

Successful workplace operations require more than just keeping the lights on. Workplace leaders need visibility into everything happening in the office—from visitor check-ins to meeting service requests—so they can stay ahead of the day’s needs and ensure a seamless experience for employees.

Robin’s workplace operations dashboard brings everything together in one place, helping teams reduce chaos, centralize operations, and make data-driven decisions.

With this new dashboard, Robin customers can now:

  • See everything in one place – Gain a real-time overview of visitor arrivals, meeting service requests, space utilization, and more, all from a single screen.
  • Manage office requests more efficiently – Track catering, AV needs, and space requests without chasing down emails or Slack messages.

This dashboard is available now. Learn more here.

Successful hybrid organizations find workplace strategies that strike a balance between the wants of employees, the goals of the business and what spaces allow for. The modern office is a dynamic, adaptable space that requires tools to help workplace leaders quickly adapt and facilitate great office experiences.

Robin's platform is laser-focused on facilitating a frictionless connection between remote and in-office work, centralizing operations and optimizing space investments. The next step on that journey? Some new-and-improved tools for planning your office spaces.

With these new scenario planning tools, Robin customers can now:

  • Create and edit desk assignment drafts on a given floor. This gives those planning office spaces the ability to experiment and organize updated seating arrangements prior to enacting changes in their office spaces. Drafts include the ability to either:
    • Clear all current desk assignments so admins can redesign from scratch, or
    • Copy all current desk assignments so admins can make adjustments based on a current floor setup
  • Create quick drafts. This allows admins to make minor changes to an active floor plan more easily. This is ideal for more incremental, smaller-scale layout updates.
  • Share a view-only version of assignment changes. This allows admins to share assignment recommendations with stakeholders, facilitating simpler review and approval by leadership.

These tools are starting to roll out to all customers now. Learn more here.

Going into the office is not as straightforward as it used to be. With hybrid work as the new normal, allocating and reserving resources often requires customized setups for different companies.

And, sometimes, that means giving priority access to certain resources to specific groups of people.

The Robin platform now supports priority desk booking policies, giving advanced booking abilities to certain members of your organization. This allows admins to:

  • Create priority booking rules to allow only specific people or groups to book certain desks for a longer period of time. Ex: Executives can book 3 months in advance, and the rest of the company 1 month in advance.
  • Layer priority booking rules so that multiple teams can book the same desk based on configured rules.
  • Release desks for others to book if the priority group does not book desks in a certain timeframe.

Rollout starts today, so head to Robin and choose an office location > Resource Policies to start setting up your policies once live in your account. You can also learn more in this help doc.

One of the most effective, accurate ways to track office occupancy is through access control or badge systems. Robin already integrates directly with systems like Kisi and Avigilon (formerly OpenPath), and customers can collaborate with our team to connect with any other system they use.

Today, we're adding Brivo to our list of direct access control integrations. If your organization utilizes Brivo, you can easily set up the integration on your own and begin gathering more precise occupancy data. Bonus? When an employee uses this system to enter the office, they will be automatically checked in for the day.

Discover more about our Brivo integration here.

There's so much that goes into planning an onsite meeting, from catering requests to room setup to visitor registration. And when requests get buried in email chains and aren't easy to keep track of status, it can become a serious headache for both workplace managers and employees.

Well, we can help – introducing the newest addition to Robin's platform: Meeting Services.

With Meeting Services, you can now:

  • Centralize your services in one place: Create, update and track all meeting service requests in real-time on a single dashboard. Services could include catering requests, AV support, room setup... anything you need.
  • Customize service types: Tailor your meeting services to the needs of your spaces, for streamlined and flexible workflows.
  • Keep employees and admins in the loop: Requesters and service admins are automatically notified as the requests make progress.

Here's a help doc with more guidance for existing Robin customers. If you aren't yet a customer and want to learn more, reach out to our team.

You asked, we delivered.

Robin now helps you manage office packages and deliveries!

Now available to all customers using Visitor Management in Robin, this first release of delivery management helps office managers and front desk staff track incoming mail and notify recipients when something is delivered.

Here's a quick rundown:

  • Visit the new Deliveries tab in your Robin web dashboard.
  • Create a Delivery Zone. This helps identify where in your office someone should go to pick up packages.
  • Log a New Delivery. Enter the recipient information, delivery zone and any other details required.
  • The recipient will then receive an email notification, and can confirm pickup. This will automatically update the delivery status in the admin's dashboard.

Our team continues to work on expanding delivery capabilities, with more coming soon (like mobile scanning and confirmation). Learn more here or contact your CSM if you'd like to see it in action.

For hybrid work strategies to be effective today, they have to help facilitate employees' time in the office seamlessly. Whether welcoming visitors or finding a room for a VIP meeting or figuring out where colleagues are sitting, workplace tech should support the end-to-end office experience.

That's exactly why Robin's platform exists.

And starting today, customers can run Robin’s room management, visitor management and wayfinding digital signage software across Neat devices.

Room displays help ditch the conference room confusion and facilitate better scheduling. Robin's room display software on the Neat Pad:

  • Easily shows the status of a meeting room
  • Removes no-show meetings
  • Helps you submit support tickets
  • Allows you to quickly book an impromptu meeting

Status boards support wayfinding and availability for both employees and visitors. Robin's status board software on the Neat Board:

  • Easily showcases wayfinding within your office
  • Helps employees quickly find teammates or free meeting rooms

Arrival displays for visitors help guests feel welcomed and check-in easily. Robin's visitor management arrival display software on the Neat Frame helps you greet guests and have them check-in, notifying hosts that they've arrived

Customers using Neat devices can find Robin's app in Neat's new App Hub and can visit our help center to learn more about setup.

Hybrid work is finding its rhythm. Anchor days, flexible seating solutions and neighborhoods are becoming engrained in office culture, and knowing who's in, when is critical.

One of the most accurate methods for understanding office occupancy is through access control or badge systems. Robin customers can already work with our team to sync their account with whichever access control system they use.

Today, though, we are rolling out two new, out-of-the-box integrations with Kisi and Avigilon (formerly OpenPath). This means that if your organization uses one of these access control systems, you can set up the integration yourself and start capturing more accurate occupancy information. Plus, if an employee uses this system to enter your office, they'll automatically be checked in for the day.

You can learn more about the Kisi integration here and the Avigilon (formerly OpenPath) integration here.

When it comes to office space data and planning today, it's about really understanding how people are using your workspaces. It's about building smarter workplaces with reports and tools that fit the needs of hybrid organizations today.

Meeting rooms are a coveted office resource, and customers tell us that they want to know how people are using rooms. Are they having a 1:1 with their manager? Are certain rooms used for VIP client meetings more than others? Do certain teams always use specific rooms?

Starting today, organizations using Robin's Advanced Analytics will be able to see this information in a brand new visualization: Robin's AI now categorizes meetings and represents the groupings in a new report The AI even takes those meetings with non-obvious titles, such as team meetings, and categorizes them. Meeting categories include Client Meeting, All-hands, Focus Time, One-on-One, Personal and many more.

Customers with Advanced Analytics can head to Executive Insights > Planned Collaboration to see the visualization for their organization now. Admins can also use the new Meeting Category field when building custom reports. Read more here.

Not yet using Robin's Advanced Analytics? Contact your CSM or reach out to our team to learn more.

If you want people together in person, your workplace should has to work for your people. We see it in our own offices, and hear it from customers. People are back in offices – now, it's about ensuring their experiences in your spaces feel effortless.

Our team continues to eliminate effort from daily workplace tasks with another way to automatically check into the office. Now, employees on office Wi-Fi or network connection who open the Robin platform from any device will be automatically checked into their reservation or have a visit created for them. This means that, in addition to mobile, employees can be checked in automagically via a network connection on web, tablet or our Outlook add-in.

If you want this enabled for your organization, make sure you've configured your office IP addresses. Here are details on how to do that.

If you want people to come into the office, it has to be easy.

We believe in using AI to personalize and simplify in-office experiences, so are thrilled to roll out our latest release that helps do just that: Automatic desk booking.

If you're interested in using this new feature, here's what you need to do:

  • Go to your User Settings > Default Location & Schedule.
  • Choose the days you typically go into the office.
  • That's it! Robin will now book desks for you based on your past preferences.

By the way: If you don't have a default work schedule set, Robin will suggest desks for you instead.

Here's a bit more information on how it works for employees. And admins, here's a help article just for you. Have a great day at the office!

Employees aren't the only ones going back to offices – organizations need to create great, customized experiences for their guests, too.

We're excited to take the next step forward in more personalized visitor experiences with custom visit registration forms. With this update, admins can now:

  • Create and edit visitor registration forms to include any details required for guests (e.g., food preferences or allergies)
  • Put relevant information from custom fields on badges
  • View custom field information in the visit log

You can learn more here.

This is now live for all customers who already have visitor management as part of their Robin account. If you'd like to learn about visitor management, contact your CSM or our team here.

For many of our customers, particularly those in more regulated industries like education, privacy is a top concern when it comes to resource reservations.

While Robin customers could always set specific bookings to private, admins in education organizations can now set space and desk bookings to private by default across their organization.

This new setting, which starts rolling out today, allows admins to default bookings to anonymous, removing all names and avatars across both Robin's desktop and mobile apps. Admins can access this setting by going to Roles > Permission Profiles inside of their account.

You can learn more about this new setting here.
