Obvio Weekly Q&A – October 7, 2026

Summary

This week's session featured a deep-dive exploration into upcoming Obvio platform enhancements, feature optimizations, and workflow setups. Justin James outlined several platform updates rolling out, including new header section types for custom forms, copy-and-paste button styling across sponsor pages, auto-disabling welcome emails for past events, autocomplete for GoHighLevel (GHL) tags, and broadcast republish confirmation alerts. Jeff Veley also returned to share a breakthrough in routing Obvio through Felipe Nardi's ITS Room Zoom client SDK by enabling browser link interception.

The team then transitioned into leveraging AI tools for event production, video management, and participant engagement. Jeff introduced his new "CamMail" asynchronous video email tool, while Grant Whitehead demonstrated how Google Gemini Notebook parses Obvio call transcripts into audio explainer summaries. Finally, Justin and Grant explored using computer-use AI agents (such as Claude Code) to automate multi-system tasks like migrating Acuity appointments, offloading Vimeo videos, and generating AI event-building wizards.
