Key Updates for September 2026

Update effective date: September 13, 2026

AI features
AI Voice Input for Records: AI decides which fields to fill in based on what you say (mobile app, iOS)

AI Voice Input for Records is now available in the kintone mobile app for iOS. Record yourself saying what you want to enter in a record, and AI works out which fields the information belongs in and reshapes it to fit the format of each one. Fill out records just by speaking naturally, without having to select fields one by one.

▼What AI Voice Input for Records looks like in use

Record sales meeting reports while out of the office or inspection results in the field simply by speaking naturally, without having to select and enter fields one by one.
This makes it easier to quickly record information, whether you're working on-site or on the go.

▼Filling in a record with AI Voice Input for Records (the screens shown are under development)

5. Review and edit the information as necessary, then save the record.
* You need to update the mobile app to use this feature. The update containing this feature is scheduled for release in September. We also plan to make a similar feature available in the Android mobile app in the future.
* AI Voice Input for Records becomes available once a kintone administrator enables it on the "kintone AI management" screen. It is disabled by default.
* For the supported fields and detailed instructions, refer to the kintone Help page on this feature.

Search
All-contents search can now include or exclude specific apps and spaces

In the filter section for all-contents search, you can now limit the search to specific apps and spaces, or exclude them from your search. For example, you can search only the apps and spaces you use for your work to find all the information you need about a project. Or, if one app is returning too many results and you know the information you're looking for isn't there, you can exclude that app from your search.

▼Example of including and excluding apps and spaces from an all-contents search
The Filter by app or space link added to the filter conditions on the search screen
A screen where multiple apps and spaces have been selected under Filter by app or space, with the option to include them in or exclude them from the search

To add conditions, click "Filter by app or space" in the "Filter" section of the all-contents search screen.
You can add multiple apps and spaces and choose whether to include or exclude them from your search.

* You can also include or exclude apps when searching within a space.

App management
More columns can now be used as filter conditions on the app list

In the app list on the "App management" screen, we've added 11 columns that can be used as filter conditions. You can now filter apps by "API tokens", "Webhooks", "App group", "Created by", and more. Just for example, you could filter for apps that have API tokens or webhooks configured to check their external integrations, or specify a particular app group or creator to find certain apps that need to be reviewed.

11 new columns from the app list can now be used as filter conditions.

The columns added as filter conditions in the September 2026 release are as follows:
ID / App group / Fields / API requests per day / API tokens / Webhooks / Attachments / Guest users with access / Creator / Created date and time / Last updated by

* With this update, all columns displayed in the app list can now be used as filter criteria. (As of the September 2026 update)

Platform
Front-end infrastructure renewed (top page of the App settings screen)

To speed up product improvements going forward, the kintone development team is progressively renewing the front-end technology infrastructure that's been in use since kintone first launched, screen by screen. This time, the front-end infrastructure has been renewed for the main "App settings" screen. Its layout and components have been updated, including the "Form", "Views", "Graphs", and "App settings" tabs.

* Note that features under consideration may have their specifications changed, or their availability on the Update options screen started or ended, at any time — not only during regular maintenance.

Process analysis
Use your process history to visualize how long records stay in each status.

This in-development feature lets you see how long records have stayed in each status in apps with process management enabled. This helps you identify and understand bottlenecks in your app workflows.
You can specify the fields to use for grouping and the records to include in the analysis, allowing you to analyze workflows from different perspectives depending on your needs. You can also specify the period to analyze, which lets you focus on a specific period of time, such as the period after implementing a process improvement. We plan to continue adding features that enable you to analyze your workflows from a wider range of perspectives.

▼The Process analysis screen (the screen shown is under development)

  1. You can open the Process analysis screen by clicking Analyze process on the view screen.
  2. Open Analysis settings to choose the field to group by, the conditions for filtering records, and the period of history to cover.
  3. You can check the total time spent in each status, so you can see how long records have been sitting at each stage.
