3.10.1 May Release
New Major modules (Meetings; Views & Reports). Plan Mode. New skills (animated presentation; brainstorming; planning). Many performance improvements and some great UX improvements and additions.
May 2026 Release (v3.10.1)
Summary:
- New major modules: added Sapience Meetings, and Views & Reports;
- Great new every day features:
- Touch-up Text: for use when you want to manually change a heading, or text in slides or other content sapience has generated. Supports HTML, Markdown, Text files/content (not animated HTML);
- Plan Mode; Brainstorming: great for helping you think through what you want to build/generate before you have Sapience go down that potentially slow road;
- Animated Slides: big brother of slide output (does not support touch-up text);
- Embedded Audio in Notes: when you actually want “readers” to hear the words you spoke and the tone you used;
- External Content: embed other apps inside a Note, making the Note a presentation surface for other apps. Support for 200 3rd party sites (YouTube, Figma, Sheets, Excel Online, etc).
- Behind the scenes: many improvements to Project Agents and raft of new powerful tools for them to invoke; 4 new languages supported in the interface;
Full change log: is here
A note on version numbers: all May releases start with 3.10.x - i.e. so long as your installed Desktop version starts with 3.10 you are on the May release. Web and Mobile Web are always at the latest version by definition.

Upgrades & Changes:
Agents
Plan Mode: Plan mode used to be armable only by pressing Shift+Tab in the chat textarea — undiscoverable for anyone who didn't know the shortcut. There's now a "Plan mode" checkbox at the bottom of the Thinking dropdown that toggles the same on/off state, so both surfaces drive one indicator chip above the input.
DGEP Excellence Model Agent: A new global agent — DGEP Excellence Model Agent — has been added to the Agent Store. Bilingual EN+AR. Embeds the Dubai Government Excellence Model 2024 (3 pillars, 9 criteria, ~17 sub-criteria), the 2026-cycle Elite Model, and a complete bidirectional DGEP↔EFQM 2025 mapping table. Delegates EFQM-only deep questions to the EFQM Model 2025 Expert Agent automatically.
Skills (New & Changed)
Animated Slide Deck Visible by Default: The Animated Slide Deck skill is now visible in the user-facing Skills picker. The skill has been live since 2026.04.23 but now installed out-of-the-box for all users.
Brainstorming: want to create something great, but not quite sure what it should be in full? Use Sapience to really help you think through what you are going to build and why. This skill will critique your idea, and help you improve it through a series of questions it will ask you. This skill is now fired in the background before slow/expensive generations, like websites, and slide decks.
Chat
Chat Input > Type / to Activate a Skill: Type /skill-name directly in the chat input (e.g. /brainstorming, /website, /animated-slide-deck) and pick from a prefix-filtered dropdown. Skills were previously only activatable from the Skills picker in the message composer. Also new: a Brainstorming skill that gets the agent to explore intent and requirements before jumping to implementation.
Plan-mode shortcut: shift+Tab will auto-equip Plan mode without needing to use the menus.
New Module: Sapience Meetings
Access: Only available for Power Users and above. Hit Alt + M anywhere, or Menu > Manage > Meetings.
There’s a new major chapter to the docs for Meetings, which you can see here:
Recordings (audio and or video) Section on Meeting Notes: After a meeting note is published, a ## Recordings section is now appended to the note with deep links to the captured audio and video files. One click takes you straight from the meeting note to the playable file.
Calendar Integration > Upcoming Meetings Skip / Attend Toggle: The Upcoming meetings list now shows an explicit "Attend" label next to the existing Skip toggle, making clear which side of the toggle means "the bot will join" vs. "the bot will skip this one."
Action Items Notification Email: The post-meeting notification email now contains the meeting digest inline — action items above the summary, then the deep link to the full note. Previously the email contained only the link.
Sapience Meetings Calendar Integration: Connect your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace calendar once and a Sapience notetaker auto-joins every meeting on your calendar that has a recognized conferencing link (Zoom, Teams, Google Meet). Per-meeting Skip toggle on the Upcoming list lets you pre-empt the bot for sensitive 1:1s. Available to Power Users and above.
Convert Audio/Video File to a Sapience Meeting (Mode 3): The Meet Now & Notetaker modal has a new "Convert audio/video file to a Sapience Meeting" link. Upload an existing recording (or pick from your cloud files) and Sapience will produce a meeting note from it — same output as a live notetaker session.
Meet Now & Notetaker Modal (Alt+M): A single new modal lets you (a) drop the Sapience Notetaker into a meeting that's running NOW by pasting a Zoom/Teams/Meet/Webex URL, or (b) discover and copy your unique inbox address (<your-token>@agents.sapiencecloud.ai) for forwarding calendar invites. Includes a one-click vCard download to save the inbox address as a contact. Triggered by Alt+M anywhere in the app.
Notes
Inline Playable Voice Audio (Preview): With the "Inline playable voice audio" toggle in Settings → Advanced, the voice recorder in the note editor gains an "Also insert playable audio" checkbox. The recorded audio is embedded inline as a player in the note (not a separate file), so it travels atomically with the note when shared.
Insert External Content: With the new "Enable Embeds" toggle in Settings → Advanced, the Notes editor's Insert menu has a new "Insert External Content" item. Paste a YouTube / Google Sheets / Loom / Figma / etc. URL and the embedded preview appears inline in the note.
Chat With This Note: With the "Enable Chat with this Note" toggle in Settings → Advanced, every note gets a "Chat with this note" button that opens a chat scoped to just that note's content. The agent has the full note in context.
New Module: Views & Reports
Full docs: Entirely new subsystem, with dedicated docs here:
Views & Reports – Sapience Cloud | Documentation Hub
Initial Release: A new Views & Reports sidebar entry (preview, Power User and above) ships with five built-in views — All My Tasks, Meeting Transcripts, Recent Activity, Shared With Me, Projects (tree) — plus a 3-step wizard for creating saved views with a 12-operator filter language across Tasks, Notes, Files, Projects, Folders, Goals, and Conversations.
Built-in Views/Reports:
- Everything - shows all resources in Sapience you’ve got access to or own (Agents, skills, Notes, Projects, etc)
- Recent activity - everything that’s been changed in the last 7 days;
- Meetings: a quick look into all your Meeting notes;
- All My Tasks: every task you have created and assigned to someone else AND every task that exists that has been assigned to you. i.e. work you have to do, or have given to others (humans / agents);
- Shared with me & Shared by me: leverages the existing views also in Menu > Manage > Shares
- Scheduled Jobs: all the jobs you’ve scheduled (same as Menu > Manage > Scheduled Jobs);
Scheduled Jobs View: Added a built-in "Scheduled Jobs" view to Views & Reports — a second access path alongside the existing Settings entry, for review and reporting use. The "My Agents" and "My Skills" built-in views have been hidden; their content is reachable via the Everything view.
Projects
Project Agents: List Projects and Project Files: The Sapience Agents (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) now have two new tools: List Projects and List Project Files. Ask "what projects do I have?" or "what's in my Q3 Roadmap project?" and the agent returns a structured answer instead of guessing via substring search.
Shared Projects > Folders Now Visible: A user with a share on a project owned by someone else previously saw no folders in the project's Files or Notes tab. Folders inside shared projects now appear correctly for share recipients on first load.
All Projects > Drag and Drop on Card View: Drag a project card onto a folder card to move the project into that folder. Drag a folder card onto another folder card to nest folders. Cycle prevention is enforced server-side.
All Projects > Folders for Projects: Projects can now live inside folders. Create or rename folders directly from the Projects page; drag projects between folders; the project's internal task/goal/note/file tree stays independent of the browsing folder hierarchy.
Project Chat > "+ New Conversation" Spawns Multiple: Clicking "+ New Conversation" in a project a second time used to silently no-op (a deduplication key collision). Now it correctly spawns a new chat each click. If you click on a conversation that's already open elsewhere, you get a "Chat is already open" toast instead of a silent no-op.
Files
Create File - New Text or Markdown File: The /#/files actions dropdown has a new New ▸ entry that fans out to "Text File" and "Markdown File". You're prompted for a filename (extension auto-appends), the file is created in the currently-navigated folder, and the markdown editor opens immediately on the new file.
Versioning:
Versioning, Edit Button, and Version Column: Editing a Markdown or HTML file now creates a true new version of the file (preserves the original filename, archives previous bytes) instead of producing -v2 siblings. The /#/files grid has a new Version column showing v1, v2, etc. Each row has an inline Edit button next to Preview. The HTML editor's Save button has moved into the header (top-right) so it's always reachable.
File Versioning: Files now keep all versions instead of overwriting on re-upload. Re-uploading a file no longer loses the original — every previous version is browsable. New endpoints to list, fetch, and download a specific version. The /list endpoint accepts ?include_versions=true to surface every version row in one call.
UX & File Management:
Shared Folder Icon: Shared folders (org-scoped, team-scoped, or sharer/sharee with explicit shares) now render with a yellow folder icon plus a small person badge in the lower-right, distinguishing them from your private folders at a glance.
Right-Click Context Menu: File and folder rows now have a right-click context menu with Rename and Delete actions, available across the /#/files grid, the project Files tab, and inline folder lists.
Drag-and-Drop Files Onto Folders: You can now drag selected file rows onto folder rows in the project Files tab and in the main /#/files view to move files between folders. Folder-into-folder drag works too. Moving a user-scoped file or folder into an org-scoped folder prompts for confirmation and promotes it to org scope.
File Deep Links With ?openFile=<uid>: Any Sapience URL now accepts ?openFile=<file-uid> and opens the file's info card on top of the current page — works in emails, notifications, and shared links, whether the user is already in the app or arriving cold. Canonical form: /next/#/files?openFile=<uid>.
File Card > Get Full Text Button: The FileInfoCard now has a "Get Full Text" button next to AI Summary's Regenerate. Opens the raw extracted text in a wider 80% / 1200px-max dialog with action buttons moved to the top of the card. The viewer also has a "Not right? Click to re-run text extraction" link if the extraction looks wrong.
All Files > Show Notes Toggle: A "Show Notes" checkbox in the /#/files toolbar (mirrors the existing "Show Projects" pattern) surfaces your notes as synthetic file rows, folder-aware, with a teal "article" icon. Click any note row to preview, or click Edit to jump straight into the markdown editor.
General / Random
Publicly Browsable AI Store Marketing Page: The AI Store is now embeddable on the marketing site at a new public, unauthenticated URL. Viewable at www.SapienceCloud.ai/ai-store
New AI Tech: Support Anthropic’s Opus 4.7 same day it was released (best general purpose model in history). Supported Open AI Images v2 same day as released (best images model in history).
Sidebars > Favorites First: Notes, Projects, and Conversation History sidebars now sort favorited items to the top (with their yellow star), then by recency.
Localization:
Japanese and Hebrew Response Languages: Japanese and Hebrew can now be selected from the per-message response-language dropdown in chat. Hebrew automatically gets RTL rendering with proper bidirectional isolation, matching the existing Arabic behaviour.
Localization: Bahasa Melayu: Full Malay (Malaysian Bahasa Melayu) localization shipped — same pattern as the other language packs.
Menu Re-Organization:
Support & Help > Get Help Link: Added a "Get Help" entry under Help & Documentation in the chat sidebar that opens the same support panel that's available from the menu's Support & Help submenu.
Support & Help Submenu: The top-level "Report an Issue" menu item is now grouped under a new Support & Help submenu with two children: Get Help (opens the live chat support panel) and Report a Problem. The Report-a-Problem modal also gains a red "include a screenshot" nudge — problems reported without screenshots will be addressed slowest.
Menu > Manage Submenu: The top-level menu has a new Manage flyout containing Shares and Scheduled Jobs (previously top-level entries). AI Store has moved to second-from-bottom, directly above Log out.
Desktop > Idle-Aware Update Reload: The desktop apps now reload silently to pick up new web bundles when you've been idle for ≥10 minutes with no active chat streams. If you stay busy long enough that the reload window passes, you'll get a toast prompting you to reload manually instead.
Chat > Auto-Retry on Streaming Timeout: When a chat streaming send hits the 4-minute server timeout, Sapience now automatically switches the conversation to long-poll mode and re-sends a follow-up message asking the agent to deliver the synthesis — instead of leaving you with a red error. The retry message renders in italic / muted style so you can see it happened.
Bugfixes
Mobile > Crash Fix on Power-User Accounts: Mobile users with very large workspaces (hundreds of projects/files/conversations) sometimes saw the app crash and reload in a loop ~10–20 seconds after launch. The local search snapshot was overflowing the renderer's memory ceiling on iOS Safari / Android Chrome. Mobile now keeps a smaller in-memory index instead of writing the snapshot to IndexedDB. Search still works for the rest of the session.
Voice > Chrome iOS Recording Fix: Voice recording on Chrome for iOS used to silently capture empty audio (the modal showed "Listening…" but transcription returned empty). Fixed by switching iOS to the native MediaRecorder API with AAC encoding instead of the WebKit-incompatible ScriptProcessorNode path.
Folders > Delete Folders Containing Notes: Deleting a folder that contained notes (or other Sapience objects) was failing with "Cannot delete: has 1 non-deleted children" even when the folder appeared empty in the grid. The delete now correctly cascades through every type of content pinned to the folder.
