<p><strong>Episode Overview</strong></p><p>David Shull (CEO), Molly Johnson (Head of Product), and Brad Turner (Head of Design) cover Tern&#39;s biggest group trips update yet: changes made to a group itinerary can now push down to every subtrip automatically, ending a long-standing manual workaround. They also walk through new AI capabilities that pull directly from an advisor&#39;s own template library and photo collection, a refactor of the booking drawer for logging commission, and a batch of quality of life fixes.
