Sapience Changelog For Developers

Table of Contents:

2026.09.05 AI Models > OpenAI GPT-6 Astra

OpenAI has released GPT-6 Astra, and you can select it for any agent today. It is their most capable model for hard, end-to-end work, with a 1,050,000-token context window, up to 128,000 tokens of output, image input, and a reasoning effort you can set from low through to max. Pricing is $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output, with cached input at $1; a prompt carrying more than 272,000 input tokens is charged at twice the input rate and one and a half times the output rate, applied to the whole request rather than just the part above the threshold. Temperature is not a control on this model — like the rest of the GPT-6 and GPT-5.6 family it reasons instead, so Sapience does not send one.

2026.09.05 AI Models > Zhipu GLM-5.3

GLM-5.3 from Zhipu is now selectable for any agent. It carries roughly a million tokens of context and up to 128,000 tokens of output, and its reasoning is always on, steerable across three levels — low, high and max — with no middle setting. It is a text-only model, so it does not take image input. Pricing is $2.10 per million input tokens and $6.60 per million output, with cached input at $0.21. The Sapience Agent (GLM) in the AI Store now runs on 5.3, so a conversation with it picks the new model up without you choosing anything, and GLM-5.2 remains selectable if you would rather pin the earlier version.

2026.09.05 AI Models > Anthropic Claude Fable 5.1

Anthropic has released Claude Fable 5.1, and you can select it for any agent today. It is built for demanding reasoning and long-horizon agentic work, with a one-million-token context window as standard, up to 128,000 tokens of output, image input, and adaptive thinking that is always on and steered by effort, defaulting to high. Pricing matches Fable 5 at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output, but cache reads cost a quarter of what they do on other Claude models, at $0.25 per million — which tells on long sessions that re-read a cached prefix. Two API details are worth knowing if you build against it directly: it does not accept a forced tool choice, and it does not take a temperature. Claude Fable 5 remains selectable.

2026.09.05 Files > Your File List Stays Consistent On Your Device

Hardened the way Sapience keeps a copy of your file list on your own device, so a file you have just uploaded, moved, renamed, or had an agent create is stored there consistently — including when it carries details such as its tags or the folders it belongs to. Your files and their details now stay in step between sessions and while you are offline, rather than needing a reload to come back into line.

2026.09.04 Accounts > Signing Out Finishes Cleanly

Signing out could surface an error part-way through, even though the sign-out itself completed and you were signed out correctly. The sign-out sequence now handles the moment at which your session details have already been cleared, so it finishes quietly with nothing reported.

2026.09.04 Projects > A Deleted Task Or Goal Stays Deleted

A task or goal you deleted could reappear after a page reload, and deleting it a second time reported that it no longer existed. The delete always worked but sometimes a cache remained for five minutes. Deletes now show/happen no matter what. Sapience clients now keeps its own record of what you have removed and that record survives a reload, so an item you delete is gone from a project's Goals & Tasks tab and every view on it, from All My Tasks, from Views & Reports, from search results, and from the task and goal counts shown on project cards. Deleting a goal takes its tasks with it in the same way. Once the item is confirmed gone everywhere, Sapience stops holding the record, so nothing you create later is affected by it.

2026.09.03 Projects > A Timeline View For Goals And Tasks, In Preview

Goals and tasks can now be read as a timeline. Turn on Preview: Timeline Mode in Projects under Menu ▸ Settings ▸ Advanced, and Timeline joins the view picker both on a project's Goals & Tasks tab and in All My Tasks across every project. Tasks are drawn as bars on a date axis, grouped into lanes by project or by assignee, with goals marked as milestones on the day they are due. You can zoom by day, week or month, jump to today, drag a bar to reschedule it, fold a task's sub-tasks away, and highlight the critical path. Two things a task can now carry make this work and are available to you directly through the API and SDK as well: gantt_start_date, the day work on it is scheduled to begin, which is what a bar starts on rather than the day the task was created; and gantt_depends_on, the tasks that must finish before it, stored on the task that waits. A dependency you draw is saved with the task itself, so it is there for your teammates and on your other devices. The setting stays off until you turn it on, and turning it off puts every view back exactly as it was.

2026.09.03 Email > An Instruction About Language Now Holds On Emailed Agent Replies

Language handling on emailed agent replies is now consistent with the rest of Sapience. An instruction you have given an agent about which language to answer in is carried through to a reply it sends by email, rather than being overridden on the way out. Emailed replies are also now free of the progress lines an agent shows while it is working — those belong on screen while you watch it think, not in the message that arrives in your inbox.

2026.09.03 Email > A Deadline You Mention Lands In The Task's Due Date

Asking an agent by email to create a task with a deadline recorded that deadline in the task's text and left its due date empty, so the task did not appear where you would expect it in views, sorts and filters that work by date. A date stated in your request now goes into the due date field itself, whatever language you write in. A date that cannot be read still creates the task, without a due date rather than failing.

2026.09.03 Chat > Charts In An Answer Render Reliably As It Arrives

Hardened chart rendering in chat answers so that a reply containing one or more charts draws them consistently while the answer is still being written. Every chart in an answer is now claimed for drawing in a single pass, so a long reply that updates many times as it arrives ends with all of its charts on screen. A chart whose data genuinely cannot be read still reports that on its own, without affecting the others in the same answer.

2026.09.03 Chat > The Conversation Summary Notice Follows Your Language

When Sapience summarizes a conversation and gives it a name, it posts a short notice in the thread saying so. That notice was written in English whatever language you were using. It now appears in your own language, in all eleven languages Sapience supports.

2026.09.03 Mobile > Wide Tables In An Answer Scroll Instead Of Squeezing

A table inside a chat answer was always shrunk to fit the width of a phone screen, which broke column headings mid-word once there were more columns than could readably fit. A table wide enough that its columns can no longer be read now keeps its natural width and scrolls sideways within the answer. Narrower tables are unchanged and still fit the screen without scrolling.

2026.09.03 Mobile > The Project Picker Fits The Screen

Creating a task from the New menu on a phone opened a picker for choosing its project that was wider than the screen, so its right-hand edge and part of the project list sat out of reach. The picker now fills the width actually available to it, up to the same maximum width it has always used on a larger screen.

2026.09.03 AI Models > Meta Muse Spark 1.3

Meta has released Muse Spark 1.3, and you can select it for any agent today. Meta has tuned this checkpoint for long-running, multi-step agent workflows, with stronger coding and instruction following, and it keeps everything that made 1.2 good — fast, large context, multi-modal, and strong at agentic tool use and delegation. Pricing is unchanged from 1.2. It is also now the model behind Project agents by default, so a project you create picks it up without you choosing anything, and the Sapience Agent (Muse Spark) in the AI Store runs on it too. 1.2 and 1.1 both remain selectable if you would rather pin an earlier checkpoint.

2026.09.01 Sharing > A Shared Project Link Now Carries Its Files, Folders And Notes

The public page for a shared project showed the project's details and its goals and tasks, and nothing else — the files and notes that make up most of the work were not there. It now opens with a contents list linking to Overview, Goals & Tasks, and Files & Notes, and the Files & Notes section shows the project's folders, notes and files as a tree you can open and close, however deeply they are nested. Goals and tasks now start collapsed to their top level so a large plan fits on a screen, with Expand all and Collapse all still there. Whoever you send the link to can open a note in place, without leaving the page, and download a file straight from the list. The whole page still prints to PDF with everything expanded.

2026.09.01 Sharing > Share A Single Folder By Link

A folder can now be published as a link of its own, the same way a project or a note already could. The page shows that folder's contents — its notes, its files, and any folders inside it — and nothing above or beside it. Password, expiry and view limit work exactly as they do for every other kind of share link.

2026.09.01 Sharing > You Are Told When A Share Link Reaches Its View Limit

A share link can be set to stop working after a number of views, and until now it simply stopped, with nothing to tell you it had. Sapience now emails you once, at the moment a link of yours reaches its limit, so you know the person you sent it to can no longer open it. Browsing within a single shared project no longer eats into that count either — opening the shared page counts as one view, and opening a note or downloading a file from inside it does not.

2026.09.01 Settings > Your Dashboard Fills In All At Once And Stays Current

The Activity Feed sat on a loading message for several seconds after the rest of your dashboard had already filled in, and once it had loaded it did not change again, so a note or file you edited while looking at the dashboard only appeared after a reload. Every module now draws on what Sapience has already loaded for you, so the whole dashboard appears together and each module keeps itself up to date as newer information arrives in the background. Editing a note, uploading a file or completing a task while the dashboard is open now shows in the Activity Feed straight away. The Onboarding & Setup tile fills in the same way, and a module that is still filling in is now shown as such rather than as empty, so a section you genuinely have nothing in no longer looks the same as one that has not finished.

2026.09.01 Notes > Attach Files To A Note

A note can now hold files. Attach them from the note's Actions menu, from the editor's Insert menu, or by dragging a file straight onto the note you are reading or editing — and on a phone or tablet, by tapping the same spot to pick one. Everything attached shows as a card at the bottom of the note, with the full filename on display rather than trimmed to fit, and you can remove an attachment without deleting the file itself. Drop a file at a particular point in the note body and it is also referenced right there, alongside the list at the end. Sharing a note now shares whatever is attached to it, at the note's own permission level, and duplicating or deleting a note carries its attachments with it.

2026.09.01 Desktop > Desktop updates now take you straight to the newest version

Checking for updates on the Sapience desktop app now brings you to the very latest build in a single update, instead of stepping through intermediate versions one restart at a time. The desktop app and the download links on the website now read the same source for what the newest build is, so a manual download and an in-app update always agree. If the app genuinely cannot reach that source, it now tells you it could not check, rather than reporting that you are up to date.

2026.08.31 Agents > The EFQM Management Report Is Now A Navigable Document

An assembled EFQM Management Report is long, and reading it meant scrolling it end to end. It now carries a pinned contents rail that tracks where you are as you scroll, becoming a button and a slide-out panel on a narrow screen, and Expand all and Collapse all controls at the top of the document. EFQM's own guidance for each Sub-Criterion is open by default rather than hidden, and each applicant answer can be collapsed by clicking its own heading, so you can move between what was asked and what was written without losing your place. The masthead now names the model and labels the applicant, and the report records its date of submission. The document still prints cleanly to PDF, and reads correctly right to left in Arabic.

2026.08.31 Sharing > Shared Project Pages Read And Print Better

The public page for a shared project now shows who a task or goal is assigned to as a chip on its summary row, next to the status, so the owner is visible while the item is still collapsed — and an unassigned item says so quietly rather than looking like a second status. The small-caps labels above each section and field are set in the page's dark ink rather than a light grey, and the project's description now carries the same weight as the page's other sub-headings. Printing a large plan no longer gives a big top-level goal a page of its own with its tasks pushed to the next one; goals now flow across pages while keeping smaller nested items intact.

2026.08.31 Projects > An Earlier Version Of A Project Shows The Files It Actually Had

Opening a past version of a project listed the files the project holds now, rather than the ones it held when that version was saved, so a file added later appeared in a snapshot taken before it existed. Each version now lists its own files, and the current version is unchanged.

2026.08.31 Files > Deleting A Folder Tells You Every Reason It Cannot Be Deleted

When a folder could not be deleted for more than one reason, only the first reason found was reported, so resolving it revealed the next one instead of finishing the job. Both blockers are now named together in a single message. The rules themselves are unchanged — nothing that was protected before is deletable now.

2026.08.31 Files > Cloning A Folder Leaves Nothing Behind If It Cannot Finish

Hardened folder cloning so that a clone which stops part-way through does not leave a partly-assembled folder in your Files. A clone now either appears complete or does not appear at all, and the views that list folders are refreshed consistently once it finishes.

2026.08.31 Sharing > A Share Page Now Shows Why A Link Could Not Be Opened

When a shared link could not be opened, the page fell back to a generic message rather than the explanation it had actually been given, so the reason was lost on the way to the screen. That explanation now reaches the page, and it is shown to whoever followed the link. Every public share page — a shared note, file, conversation, message or project — is now produced by one shared page builder, so all of them present a link that cannot be opened the same way.

2026.08.31 Files > Share A Folder With Your Organization From Its Right-Click Menu

Right-clicking a folder on the Files page now offers Promote to Org Folder, so a folder can be shared with your whole organization in one action instead of first ticking its checkbox and opening the Actions menu. A folder is shared in its own right rather than through what it holds, so this works on an empty folder exactly as it does on a full one, and the existing Actions ▸ Share with org path now covers folders alongside files in the same selection and reports a single result for everything you picked. Where a folder cannot be shared — because it already is, or because someone else owns it — you are now told which of the two applies.

2026.08.31 Voice > Dictation Works On Every Screen, With Or Without A Chat Open

Hardened the dictation microphone so it behaves the same wherever it appears — task and goal descriptions, agent instructions, settings fields, note editors and the chat composer — whether or not a conversation is open. Dictation is now a self-contained control: it records, transcribes, and hands the text to the field you are typing in, without depending on anything else on the screen. Recovery from an interrupted or abandoned recording is more robust, including when a dialog is closed part-way through a recording, so the microphone stays ready for the next use. Dictation also no longer saves an audio file when you are simply entering text, so the words appear sooner and your Files stay clear of recordings you did not ask for; the note editors, where the recording itself is the point, still keep theirs.

2026.08.31 Notes > Voice Input In The Mobile Note Editor Matches The Desktop Editor

Hardened voice input in the note editor on a phone so that it and the desktop editor share a single path for handling a finished recording. Dictating into a note now behaves identically on both: the transcript is inserted where you are writing, and ticking "Also insert playable audio" adds the playable clip to the note alongside it.

2026.08.30 Sharing > Shared Projects Keep Their Badge In The All Projects View

On the Projects page with the All filter selected, a project shared with you showed its SHARED badge for a moment as the page settled and then lost it, even though the project itself stayed in the list and still read correctly under the Shared With Me filter. A project now carries one record of itself throughout the app, so its sharing state is the same fact wherever it is read: the badge appears as soon as the project does and stays for as long as it is listed, whichever filter you are on and whichever order the page happens to load in.

2026.08.30 Agents > EFQM Management Report Assembly Is Deterministic, Verbatim And Localizable

Hardened the EFQM Management Report assembler so that a folder of notes and EFQM Results Input Table workbooks produces the same, consistently formatted document every time it runs. Results indicators are now carried as structured data read straight from the workbook cells — indicator name, unit, trend direction, and the Actual, Target and Benchmark figures for each period — so every figure in the report matches the workbook it came from, and indicator slots left as supplied template text are recorded but not shown. Narrative content is reproduced exactly as written, with the author's own formatting intact. Where content appears to belong under a different Sub-Criterion, the report flags it where it was written and adds a cross-reference at the Sub-Criterion it relates to, both clearly marked as AI-authored; nothing the submitter wrote is rewritten, corrected or moved. All 29 Sub-Criterion titles follow the official EFQM 2025 model.

2026.08.30 API > Generating An EFQM Management Report Now Takes A Required Language

POST /v2/utilities/tools/execute with tool_name "generate_efqm_report" now requires a language parameter alongside folder_uid, and a call without one is rejected rather than assuming English. The value is recorded on the report and selects the language of the model's own headings, column titles and labels, while the submitted content stays in the language it was written; Arabic renders right to left. The assembled document is returned as a file as before, and running the tool again on the same folder now creates a new version of that folder's report rather than a second, unrelated one, so a submission keeps a single record with its own history.

2026.08.30 Files > Project File Lists Are More Complete, Accurate And Faster

Hardened how a project's file list is assembled so it is derived directly from where each file actually lives, rather than from a separate record kept alongside it. A project now lists exactly the files held in it and in its folders, at any nesting depth, and that list cannot fall out of step with the files themselves — including when a file is renamed, moved or removed. Each file's description and summary are read fresh, so an agent working in the project sees a file's current details rather than the ones it had when it was added, and large projects load faster because there is less to fetch on every read.

2026.08.30 Files > Moving A File Between Folders Reaches Every View Promptly

Hardened how a file move is signalled to the rest of the app so that both the folder it left and the folder it arrived in, along with the projects containing them, are marked as changed at the moment of the move. Clients that refresh incrementally rather than reloading everything now pick up the new location on their next refresh, so a file that has been moved appears in its new home and leaves its old one without a full reload.

2026.08.30 Projects > Refreshing A Project Updates The Project Itself

Refreshing a project — from the refresh button in its header, or Refresh from Cloud in its Actions menu — reloaded the project's tasks, goals, notes and files, but not the project's own details. A change made to the project elsewhere, such as publishing it, renaming it or changing its status, only appeared after a full browser reload. Refreshing now reloads the project record alongside everything inside it, in a single request, so the header shows the project's current state as soon as the refresh finishes.

2026.08.30 Projects > Published Status And Documentation Link Move To The Right

A project's Published row and its Projects documentation link sat beneath the project's description on the left-hand side of the header. Both now sit on the right, directly under the Chat and Actions buttons, and reflow below those buttons on a narrow screen. Everything they do is unchanged — the Published row still toggles a public link and offers Copy URL when one exists.

2026.08.29 Projects > Moving And Deleting Tasks Takes Effect Immediately

Dragging a task or goal onto a new parent in a project's Tasks & Goals Manager, and deleting tasks from it, both left the list unchanged for several seconds while the change was saved, with nothing in between to say it was on its way. Moving a task or goal now takes effect the moment you drop it, and deleting tasks removes them straight away, with the rest of the app staying usable while the change is saved. If a change is not accepted, the affected row comes back at exactly the position it held before, and a message names what did not go through. Deleting a goal still takes a moment to finish, because removing a goal also removes the goals and tasks beneath it. Confirmation prompts are unchanged, and every Delete control on the page — the Actions menu, the floating selection toolbar, and the task and goal detail dialogs — now behaves the same way.

2026.08.29 API > Public Link Sharing Now Supports Projects

POST /v2/sharing/create-share now accepts resource_type "project" alongside page, file, message and conversation, and returns a share_url that renders the project as a standalone public page anyone with the link can open. The page leads with the project's overview — its primary goal, success criteria, target completion date, status, owner and notes — and then its full goals and tasks breakdown as a nested tree, each item showing its status, priority and completed count, and each expanding to reveal its own detail. Expand all and Collapse all controls make a large plan quick to skim, and the page is built to print cleanly to PDF with every item opened. The password, expiry and view-limit options behave exactly as they do for a shared note. Files, conversations, notes and project members are deliberately not included on the page. This is available through the API now; the control to create one from inside the app is still to come.

2026.08.29 Projects > Custom Goal And Sub-goal Labels

Goals and sub-goals in a project's Tasks & Goals view have always carried a fixed "Goal:" / "Sub-Goal:" label. Editing a project now offers a "Re-map Goal Labels" option that lets you choose your own wording instead — call them "Phase" and "Stage", for example — or remove the label entirely. The choice is scoped to that project, so different projects can use different vocabulary, and every existing project keeps its current labels until you opt in.

2026.08.29 Projects > Tasks And Goals Appear The Moment You Add Them

Adding a task or a goal from the dialog on a project's Tasks & Goals Manager left you looking at an unchanged list: the dialog closed straight away, nothing appeared, and the new row only turned up several seconds later, with nothing in between to say it was on its way. The row now appears the instant you save, in its right place under the goal you chose. If it cannot be stored, the row is removed again and a message names the task or goal that did not save, so what you see always matches what actually exists. The Quick Add box above your task list now works exactly the same way, so adding through either route behaves identically.

2026.08.29 API > Moving And Copying Items Is Substantially Faster In Bulk

Hardened the move and copy paths behind POST /v2/srm/move and POST /v2/srm/copy so the work each request does now scales with the size of the request rather than being repeated in full for every item in it. Moving or copying a single item is quicker, and the gap widens with the size of the selection: a bulk move of a dozen notes or files now costs a small fraction of what it did, and a copy of the same selection less again. The same improvement reaches the app wherever you drag, move or duplicate items across Files, Notes and Projects, and it holds for objects shared with a large organization, where the cost previously grew with the number of people who could see them. Behaviour is unchanged in every other respect: the same objects move, the same permissions apply, and every view still refreshes to match immediately afterwards.

2026.08.29 Projects > Adding A Task Or Sub-Goal Is Less Cluttered

Every expanded goal or sub-goal in a project's Tasks & Goals view used to show its own "+ Add new task" (and, for goals, "+ Add sub-goal") row underneath it, so a project with several goals read as a dense stack of extra rows. Those links now appear only when you hover over a goal or sub-goal's row, right on the row itself, so the list stays clean until you need to add something.

2026.08.28 Models > Choose A Reasoning Effort Level For A Model Override

When you override an agent's model for a chat, you can now also choose how much it reasons before answering — Low, Medium, High, Extra High or Max — from a new Reasoning control that appears next to the model picker on the chat screen. It shows up once you have picked a specific model, defaults to Medium, and now applies consistently across every model that supports adjustable reasoning effort.

2026.08.28 Agents > Turn On Every Tool When Creating An Agent

"Enable All Tools" already existed as a per-conversation option under Advanced Chat Settings. It is now also available while creating a new agent, right on the Instructions tab, so a new agent can start with access to every available tool instead of only the default set. A tooltip explains the tradeoff: with 200+ tools available in Sapience, turning them all on can slow an agent down early in a conversation, which is why 50 of the most commonly needed tools are already enabled by default.

2026.08.27 Sharing > Shared Projects No Longer Disappear After Login

A project shared with you could appear for a moment right after logging in or a hard refresh, then disappear from view — even though your access to it was never actually affected. Shared projects now stay visible from the moment they load, on both first login and refresh.

2026.08.27 Chat > Conversations Open At Your Latest Message

Opening or refreshing a conversation showed the very beginning of its history instead of your latest message, so you had to scroll all the way down — sometimes turn by turn on a phone — every time. A conversation now opens exactly where you left off, at the latest message, and stays there even while a diagram, chart or image further up is still finishing loading.

2026.08.27 Chat > Diagrams Render Correctly

Asking an agent for a diagram could show the raw diagram source and a parse error instead of the rendered chart. Diagrams generated in chat — flowcharts, sequence diagrams and more — now render correctly, including ones with multi-line labels.

2026.08.27 Chat > Starter Prompts Appear Immediately In New Chats

A brand-new chat — opened from a floating window or from inside a project — loaded blank, with no starter prompt or suggested questions, until you sent a first message, at which point they appeared alongside it. Starter prompts and suggested questions now appear the moment a new chat is ready, with nothing to type first.

2026.08.27 Files > Project Search Stays Within The Project

Searching a project's Files & Notes tab could return notes from your other projects alongside the ones in the project you were actually searching. Search results are now scoped to the project you searched from, including notes nested inside its subfolders.

2026.08.27 Files > Downloads Are Now Reliable App-Wide

Downloading a file, exporting a chat to PDF, or ending a voice session could occasionally report success without the file actually reaching your device. Every download, export and voice-recording save in Sapience now goes through one hardened path that only reports success once a file has genuinely saved, and a quick dictation into a prompt no longer saves an audio recording to disk unless you ask it to.

2026.08.27 Projects > Refresh From Cloud Is Easier To Find

"Refresh from Cloud" is now the first item in a project's Actions menu, since it is available to everyone with access to the project regardless of edit permission. A matching refresh button also now sits in the project's own header, next to the Chat button, so refreshing a project you are already viewing no longer means opening the menu at all.

2026.08.27 Agents > More Tools Available By Default, And Reported Accurately

An agent's coding and image-generation tools could show as unavailable in the interface even when they were actually usable. Every agent now reports its available tools accurately, including whether it can work in a sandboxed environment. Agents can also now edit notes, list your projects, list a project's files, make web requests, and generate images by default, without needing to be individually configured for it — you can still restrict an agent to a narrower set of tools if you want to.

2026.08.28 API > The Reasoning Effort You Ask For Is Applied On Every Model That Can Take It

Hardened how reasoning_effort on gen3_override is applied across the model range, so a level you set on a request now reaches every model whose reasoning effort can be steered — the Claude, Gemini, Grok, Kimi, Qwen, DeepSeek, GLM and Muse Spark families alongside the OpenAI ones — each in the format that model expects. Where a model has no reasoning-effort control at all, a request now resolves to a stated medium rather than leaving the level unspecified, and nothing is sent to that model which it does not accept. Tier handling is unchanged: a level above what a model supports still lands on that model's ceiling rather than being refused, so xhigh becomes high where high is the top, and max becomes xhigh on OpenAI models. One behaviour change worth knowing if you send gen3_override: leaving reasoning_effort out now means "use the level this agent is configured for" rather than quietly settling on low, so an agent set up to think harder keeps doing so when you override only the model. Effort and temperature are also now decided by a single rule for every model, so a model that accepts both continues to receive both.

2026.08.27 Notes > Attach Files To A Note

A note can now hold files — PDFs, audio, video, or anything else — the same way a folder or a project can. Drag a file onto a note, use the upload dialog, or paste it from your clipboard, and it attaches to the note as its target. Once attached, a file behaves exactly like any other file in Sapience: it opens in the viewer, downloads, is searchable, and keeps its version history. The note body no longer has to carry media inline to hold onto it.

2026.08.27 Sharing > Sharing A Note Or Folder Shares Its Files

Share a note, a folder or a project with someone — or publish a note's public link — and they now see and can open everything inside it at the level you granted, including files attached after the share was made. Folder sharing is supported for the first time, and write access on a shared note, folder or project carries through to write access on the files inside it.

2026.08.27 API > Files API Accepts A Note As A Container

container_uid on the files list endpoint, and parent_uid on all three upload paths, now accept a note's uid alongside a folder or a project. POST /v2/srm/tree anchored at a note returns its files with parent_uid set to the note, and every file anywhere in the tree now reports the container it actually lives in rather than an empty value at the project root. GET /api/v2/files/shared/{token} accepts an optional file_uid so a note's public link can serve its attachments, and downloading one does not count against the note's own view limit. PATCH /api/v2/files/{uid}/metadata now honors write access granted through a shared note, folder or project, not only file ownership.

2026.08.27 Outbound > Outbound Ops Console

Managing outbound campaigns previously depended on a single shared account, so only one person could see how campaigns, messages, people and companies were actually doing at any given moment. A new read-only Outbound Ops Console gives each team member their own sign-in and a live view across all four: campaign health alongside the sending provider's own explanation whenever a campaign is blocked, and searchable, filterable lists of messages, people and companies where clicking a summary number takes you straight to the rows behind it. Every view exports as CSV, Markdown or JSON from the same underlying query, so the numbers a person reads on screen match exactly what a script or report pulls.

2026.08.26 Projects > Templates Shared Down From A Parent Organization Can Be Used To Start A Project

Hardened how a project template published by a parent organization resolves for the organizations beneath it, so a template shared down to your organization can be used to start a new project. Choosing it in the New Project wizard creates your own copy of the whole template: its structure comes across, and so do the files attached to it, which arrive as your copies rather than as links back to someone else's. The new project belongs to you, in your organization, and you can edit it freely from the moment it is created. The template itself is untouched by this — starting a project from a shared template never changes the template other people are still using.

2026.08.26 Notes > Voice Recordings And Link Embeds Come Through Wherever A Note Is Read

A voice recording you dictated into a note, or a link you embedded in one — a spreadsheet, a video, a dashboard — came through as a player or a live embed only while the note was open in the editor. Both now render wherever the note is read: in the note viewer, in a note preview, and on a link you have published. A recording plays in place with ordinary player controls, and an embed loads as itself, on the same published pages that recently gained the app's typography. Neither needs anything extra to load — the player and the embed are part of the note as it is stored, so the note you wrote and the note someone opens from your link are the same note.

2026.08.26 Sharing > Files Now Tell You Who Can Reach Them Too

When listing objects started returning share_data two days ago, files were the one thing left out — a folder or project read told you everything about the notes and tasks it held and nothing about the files sitting beside them, so a client still had to fetch the sharing endpoints separately and join the results itself just for files. That gap is closed. POST /v2/srm/tree and POST /v2/srm/get now return share_data on every file they return, in exactly the same shape they already return it for every other kind of object, so one code path renders both. A file can be reachable in two different ways, and the response now tells you which: a grant made directly on the file, and access that comes from the project the file lives in. Each entry carries grant_source saying which kind it is. A direct grant looks like any other — it has an id, and you can revoke it through the sharing endpoints. Access that comes from the project does not: it has no id of its own, and you change it by changing who is on the project or by moving the file, not by revoking a grant. Read grant_source before you offer someone a revoke button, and before you attribute a grant to a person, because the project-derived kind names the project rather than an individual. Everything else about the field behaves as it already does elsewhere: what comes back depends on who is asking, link tokens are left out for anyone who is not the owner, and an empty list still means nothing is shared while an absent value still means the caller did not ask. Two small additions to the entry shape come with this: the id field can now be absent, and grant_source is new. Both are additive, and a client reading only the fields it already knows about sees no change. Reading a page still costs the same handful of lookups whether the page holds one file or several thousand.

2026.08.24 Sharing > Listing Objects Now Tells You Who Can Reach Them

Reading a single object has told you every live share on it since yesterday, but the endpoints that return a LIST of objects did not. A client showing a folder, a project tree or a batch of notes had to fetch the list, fetch the sharing endpoints separately, and join the two together itself to work out which items were shared and with whom. That join is now unnecessary. POST /v2/srm/get, POST /v2/srm/tree and POST /v2/sapience/tree each return the same share_data on every Sapience object they return that the single-object read already returned: every live grant, covering named-user grants, public links, and access inherited from a tree share on a parent project, with each entry saying whether it is direct or inherited and naming the ancestor it came from. What comes back still depends on who is asking, and link tokens are still left out for anyone who is not the owner. The field keeps the same three-state meaning everywhere: an empty list means nothing is shared, an absent value means the caller did not ask for sharing information, and those remain distinguishable without a second call. Sharing information is also now kept in step with changes across every surface: creating a link, revoking a grant, re-sharing to someone whose access was previously removed, or removing a file from an object all take effect on the next read rather than after a delay. Files are not covered by this and continue to return no sharing information on these endpoints. Reading a page of objects costs the same two lookups whether the page holds one object or several thousand.

2026.08.24 Notes > Published Status Stays Accurate On Notes

The Published toggle on a note could show the wrong state after the notes list refreshed, so opening a note sometimes told you it was not published when it was. Publishing state is now carried through every refresh, and the toggle reflects the note's real state whenever you open it.

2026.08.24 Notes > Restoring An Earlier Note Version Keeps Its Properties

Hardened restoring a note to an earlier version from its version history, so the restored note keeps its full set of properties — title, tags, scope, type and location — alongside the restored content. Restoring a version now changes only what that version actually changed.

2026.08.23 API > One Read Tells You Everyone Who Can Reach An Object

Reading an object told you nothing about who could reach it. The two sharing fields on the object were only ever what a client wrote at save time and were never kept in step with actual sharing, so anything that needed the real answer fetched the object, fetched the sharing endpoints separately, and joined the two by UID itself. GET /api/v2/sapience/{uid} now returns share_data alongside the object: every live grant on it, covering named-user grants, a public link, and access inherited from a tree share on a parent project. Each entry says whether it is direct or inherited, and an inherited one names the ancestor it comes from and how many levels up that sits, so you can show where access originates rather than only that it exists. What comes back depends on who is asking — the owner of the object sees every grant on it, while someone who has been given access sees only their own, and link tokens are left out of the response entirely rather than returned empty. The field also distinguishes "nothing is shared" from "this caller did not ask for sharing information": an empty list means the first and an absent value means the second, so a client can tell them apart without a second call. The older is_shared and share_settings fields are now marked deprecated and continue to return exactly what they always did. Reading an object with fifty grants on it takes the same number of queries as reading one with none.

2026.08.23 Notes > Opening A Note Is Instant, And What You See Stays Current

Opening a note waited on whichever stored copy the app reached for first, so a note you had already loaded could still pause before it appeared, and a note you had changed on another device could show you the older text until you reloaded the page. A note now paints immediately from the copy already on your device, while Sapience checks the stored note in the background and updates what is on screen only if it has genuinely changed since. You get the speed of a local copy and the accuracy of the stored one from the same open, without choosing between them. The check is careful about interrupting you: if you have the editor open it is left alone and your unsaved work is never replaced, and a check that finishes after you have moved on to a different note is discarded rather than applied to the note now in front of you.

2026.08.23 Notes > Notes Shared With You Appear Wherever Notes Are Listed

Places that ask you to pick a note — attaching one to a project, linking one from another note, choosing one from the file browser — built their list from your own notes alone, so a note someone had shared with you could be absent from the list even while it sat in your sidebar. Note lookup across Sapience now runs through a single path that covers everything you have access to, so the notes offered to you are the same set wherever you are asked to choose one, whether you wrote them or someone shared them with you.

2026.08.23 Notes > Renaming Or Re-Scoping A Note Is More Robust

Renaming a note, or changing whether it is private, shared with your organization or global, now always works from the note's current stored copy rather than one the app was already holding. That makes both actions steadier on a note you have edited recently, or one being edited somewhere else at the same time.

2026.08.23 API > Fetch Any Set Of Resources By UID In One Call

Reading something when you already held its UID meant knowing what kind of thing it was first, and calling a different endpoint depending on the answer — one for a note, task, goal, folder or project, another for a file. POST /v2/srm/get takes a list of UIDs and returns a list of resources, whatever mix of kinds those UIDs happen to be, so a client holding an identifier no longer has to work out its type before it can read it. A single fetch is just a one-element list; the request and response shapes are identical for one UID and for thousands, so there is no separate singular call to reach for. Each returned resource arrives in the same envelope POST /v2/srm/tree already uses, which means anything you have written to render tree results renders these too. Anything not returned comes back in a per-UID misses list saying why — not found, deleted, or not permitted — using the same reason codes the individual read endpoints give you, so you can tell a stale link apart from a permissions question without a second round trip. Deleted resources can be included by asking for them. The endpoint returns exactly what the tree endpoint returns for the same UIDs, so the two always agree on what you can see. It reaches the TypeScript SDK as client.api.v2.srm.get().

2026.08.23 Notes > Your Dashboard Activity Feed Shows Your Latest Notes Always

The Dashboard's Activity Feed could show a note from before your most recent edit, since it read from a locally stored copy. It now always reflects your latest notes, matching the freshness already used for recent activity elsewhere in Sapience, so a note you just changed appears right away. for 99% of users this was a non-issue, but for users actively updating notes on multiple devices concurrently this was annoying.

2026.08.22 Sharing > A Published Note Now Looks Like The Note You Wrote

Opening a note you had published to a link showed the words but not the shape: task lists arrived as plain bullets with their checkboxes and ticked state missing, headings and tables carried none of the styling they have inside Sapience, and nothing on the page said what you were reading or who wrote it. A published note now renders with the same typography as the app — headings, tables, code and lists — and task lists keep their checkboxes and show which items are done. Those checkboxes are deliberately read-only, so someone reading your link cannot tick one and be left thinking it saved back to your note. The page also opens with the note's title and description, who owns it, and when it was created and last updated, on Sapience-branded chrome rather than a bare document. The same content styling now applies to PDF and Word exports, so a note you send as a file and the same note you share as a link look like each other, and like the note you wrote.

2026.08.22 API > Ask The Tree Endpoint For Metadata Only, A Page At A Time

POST /v2/srm/tree accepts three new optional fields. Setting projection to "meta" returns only each object's descriptive fields — name, type, scope, parent, timestamps and sharing — and leaves out the stored content, which is what a list view needs and nothing more. Setting depth to "children" limits a read to the direct children of the anchor rather than the whole subtree. And include_counts adds the goal, task, page and descendant totals to project rows. All three default to exactly what you get today, so an existing call returns byte-for-byte what it always did, and there is no new endpoint to adopt. Because they ride on the tree endpoint, a metadata read inherits its cursor pagination: you get next_cursor and has_more back, and you page until has_more is false instead of passing a limit and assuming it covered everything. Where objects carry large bodies the saving is substantial — reading a tree holding 13.8 MB of content as metadata did roughly ninety times less work than reading it in full. GET /v2/sapience/list-meta, which returned at most a fixed number of records and offered no way to ask for the next page, is now marked deprecated: it still works and still behaves exactly as before, and the Sapience apps have moved off it. The tree endpoint also now returns organization-shared objects consistently with the endpoints it replaces, so a whole-workspace read and a scoped read agree on what you can see.

2026.08.22 Projects > Quick Add A Task Without Opening A Dialog

Capturing a task meant opening the new-task dialog, filling it in and saving it, once per task — slow going when three or four occur to you at once. A Quick Add box now sits directly above your task list, on both All My Tasks and a project's Goals & Tasks tab. Type a task name, press Enter, and it appears in the list straight away while the box empties itself and keeps the cursor, so the next one is a sentence and a keystroke away and a run of five takes seconds. On All My Tasks, where a task could belong to any project, a project picker sits beside the box listing your favorites first and then your most recently active projects, and it keeps your choice for the rest of the session so a run of tasks for the same project costs no extra clicks. Each task is created as To Do at medium priority and owned by you; opening it afterwards gives you the full editor for a due date, an assignee, or anything else you want to set.

2026.08.21 Chat > A Menu Button Appears When You Hover An Agent's Reply

The actions on an agent's answer — Copy, Save to Notes, Save to Project, Share and Export — sat behind a small Save & Share link underneath the message, and nothing on screen suggested there was more there than the link itself. Hovering anywhere over an agent's reply now reveals a menu button in the top right of the message, and pressing it opens those same actions at your pointer. Nothing has moved to make room for it: the Save & Share link is still under the message and still does exactly what it did, and right-clicking anywhere on an agent's reply still opens the same menu too. There is one menu behind all three, so the actions you see are identical however you get to it. On a phone or tablet, where there is nothing to hover, the button is simply always shown on an agent's reply, so those actions are one tap away.

2026.08.19 Desktop > One Upload Choice In Windows Explorer, And It Asks Where

The Sapience submenu in Windows Explorer carried a separate upload action for each destination, so you chose where something went by picking a menu item. It now offers a single Upload to Sapience alongside Chat with File. That one action works the same way on a single file, on several files selected together, and on a whole folder, and it always asks where in Sapience you want them: any folder or project in your tree, or the top level. A folder keeps its structure, so its subfolders are recreated and each file lands where it was, including when you send the folder to a project. Chat with File is unchanged, and still opens a new conversation with everything you selected already attached.

2026.08.18 Desktop > Right-Click A File In Windows Explorer To Chat With It

Right-clicking a file in Windows Explorer offered a single Upload to Sapience action. It now opens a Sapience submenu with three choices. Chat with File uploads the file and takes you straight into a new conversation with it already attached, exactly as if you had dragged it onto a chat, so you can ask about a document without opening Sapience first and finding it. Upload to Project lets you pick the project it belongs to and uploads it there, so it is shared with whoever the project is shared with. Upload to Sapience behaves as it always has. Right-clicking a folder, or the empty space inside one, offers the two upload choices.

2026.08.18 Agents > Try An Agent From The Public Catalogue

The public AI Catalogue tells you what each agent and skill does, but the only way forward from a card was to book a call with a Customer Success Manager. Clicking a card now also offers Try For Free, first in the row: it opens a free trial signup in a new tab and, once you have signed up, puts you straight into a conversation with the agent whose card you clicked, ready to type, rather than leaving you on a dashboard to find it yourself. Skill cards carry the same offer and lead to the same signup. The button tells you before you click that it opens a new tab, and the catalogue keeps a link to that tab behind it, so you can open the trial again if your browser blocked the new window.

2026.08.18 Desktop > Local Search Is Much Lighter On Large Accounts

Sapience keeps a local search index so that searching your files, notes, projects, conversations and messages is instant. On a large account that index had been carrying a full second copy of the text it had already indexed, which made building it far heavier than it needed to be. The index now lives entirely in its own background process and no longer keeps that duplicate, cutting its size by well over half on a large library. What you search, and what you get back, are unchanged: full document and message text is still indexed in full, ranking is identical, and the text shown around a match is still drawn from the real content, however far into a long message the match falls. Index building has also been hardened — a slow rebuild now recovers on its own rather than staying in a reduced mode for the rest of the session, searching keeps working even if that background process is unavailable, and the index is released when you sign out. The first time you open Sapience after this update your search index is rebuilt once, after which it is reused between sessions as before.

2026.08.17 Skills > Ask An Agent To Turn What It Just Did Into A Skill

Watching an agent work through something useful and wanting it again next time meant writing the skill yourself. Now you can simply ask: say "turn that into a skill" and the agent writes up what it actually did — the steps in order, the tools it used, the output format, and the traps it hit — and saves it as a skill you own, active straight away and invokable by name. Every agent can do this, so whichever one did the work is the one that captures it, and what you get is a reusable method rather than a summary of the chat. The skill belongs to you rather than your organization, and it appears in your skills list the moment it exists, without a reload. If the name you ask for is already in use the agent says so and suggests one that is free, so a new skill is never left shadowed by an existing one. The agent can also read the new skill straight back in the same conversation, so you can check what it wrote before you rely on it.

2026.08.17 Desktop > Scheduled File Sync Is Now Opt-In, And Runs On Its Own

Automatic file sync in the desktop app is now something you switch on rather than something you switch off. You will find it under Settings, Desktop, Automatic Sync, where you can enable it and pick a 15, 30 or 60 minute interval. If you already had it enabled it stays enabled, on the interval you chose. Alongside that, scheduled syncs have been hardened to run entirely in their own background process rather than inside the app window, so a sync working through a large library no longer competes with what you are doing, and progress reporting is rate-limited to keep the interface responsive while one runs. A sync already under way will not be started a second time, whether by the schedule or by the Sync File System button, and scheduled runs keep their own diagnostic log separate from the app's.

2026.08.17 Desktop > Dialog Close Buttons Sit Where They Should

The close button on dialogs in the desktop app rendered inline beside the title instead of at the top right of the header, while the same dialogs were correct in the browser. Desktop and browser now share one set of styles, so dialog headers, and the rest of the interface alongside them, look the same wherever you use Sapience.

2026.08.17 Files > Your File List Comes Back From Cache Between Sessions

Sapience keeps a local copy of your file list so it does not have to fetch your whole library every time you open the app. On large accounts that copy was not being saved, so each start re-read the full list before the Files page settled. Saving has been hardened to handle the full range of file records, so the cache is written reliably and returning to Sapience shows your files sooner. The larger your library, the more noticeable the difference.

2026.08.15 Notes > Add A Tag From The Ones You Already Use

Adding a tag meant typing it from memory, on a note and again on a project, with no sight of the tags you had already created — which is how one idea ends up spread across roadmap, road-map and roadmap-2026. Clicking Add tag now opens a picker that still lets you type a brand-new tag exactly as before, and lists your existing tags beneath it, most-used first with a count beside each, so the tags you actually use are the ones you see first. Tags already on the note or project are left out of the list, and picking one applies it in a single click. Your tag vocabulary is ready as soon as the app is, and keeps up as you go: a tag you coin on a note is offered to you on a project without a reload. Notes and Projects share the same picker, so tagging works the same way in both.

2026.08.15 Notes > Your Notes Sync Without Re-Downloading The Whole Library

Signing in on a device you had used before re-downloaded your entire notes library every time — on a large account, tens of megabytes of notes fetched in the background before you had opened a single one. The background refresh now asks only for what has changed since your last sync, so a returning user moves kilobytes instead, and the app settles faster and sits lighter in memory, most noticeably on a phone. Everything you had is still there: a note you edited on another device arrives with its changes, a note you deleted elsewhere disappears here too, and notes reaching you through a project someone shared with you keep arriving in the ordinary background sync. Signing in on a brand-new device, or after clearing site data, still fetches your complete library.

2026.08.15 Notes > A Note You Own And Have Shared Appears Once In The Sidebar

A note that was both yours and shared with someone else was listed twice in the sidebar, once for each. It now appears a single time, carrying the sharing details, so the actions offered on the note match what it actually is.

2026.08.13 Models > Grok 4.6

xAI's Grok 4.6 is available everywhere you choose a model: the model selector in chat, the create-agent wizard, the advanced options on a conversation, and the Sapience AI Store. It succeeds Grok 4.5 as the fast generalist of the xAI line, ahead of it on reasoning, coding and agentic work, and keeps the same 500,000-token context window, image understanding and temperature control. The Sapience Agent (Grok) now answers on it. Grok 4.5 stays available and selectable, so an agent already set to it keeps working exactly as before.

2026.08.12 Chat > Sapience loads dramatically faster, especially on mobile

Sapience now downloads only the code a screen actually needs. Opening a chat previously pulled in the diagram renderer, the spreadsheet exporter and the data-grid engine whether or not you used any of them; those now load the moment you first need them and not before. The result is a much lighter app: the sign-in screen loads less than half the code it used to, and the chat screen roughly a third. Phones and tablets benefit most, where memory is tightest and pages that grew too heavy could previously reload themselves. Diagrams, Excel export and all grids behave exactly as before.

2026.08.12 Files > PDFs Preview As The Real Document

Previewing a PDF built a web-page approximation of it first, which stood in for the document's pagination, fonts and vector graphics rather than reproducing them. Opening a PDF now renders the file itself, page by page, so the preview matches the document you would get if you downloaded it. Pages scroll continuously with a Page X of N readout, and zoom in, zoom out and fit-width controls are there for small print. There is no conversion step to wait on, so previews open straight away. Selecting text inside the preview is not part of this first version. Word, Excel and PowerPoint previews are unchanged, and a PDF that cannot be rendered directly falls back to the previous view on its own, so you always get a preview.

2026.08.12 Skills > Skills You're Still Building Stay Private Until You Publish Them

A skill shared with your organization becomes visible to your teammates once its status is Active. While it's still in Draft or Disabled, only you can see it, everywhere skills appear across Sapience, including the Sapience Skills manager.

2026.08.12 Chat > Shrink A Full-Screen Conversation Into A Floating Window

Reading a conversation in the full chat view gave no way to shrink it back down while you kept working elsewhere, so you had to either stay on it or start a new one. A Floating Chat button in the chat header now turns the conversation you're reading into a small draggable card and takes you to the Dashboard, carrying your conversation exactly as it was, including anything still arriving mid-reply. Available for every kind of conversation — direct chats, project chats, file and folder chats, and group rooms — on desktop.

2026.08.12 Skills > A Skill You Own Stays Editable After You Change Its Scope

Changing a skill's scope from Just Me to Team locked it from further editing, even for the person who created it, with no way back in. A skill you own now stays editable by you no matter its scope, and appears read-only to everyone else exactly as it did before.

2026.08.11 Chat > New Conversations Start Straight Away On Non-OpenAI Agents

Starting a new conversation carried a couple of seconds of setup that only agents running on OpenAI models actually use, and it ran whatever model your agent was on — so most new conversations waited for something they would never touch. That setup now happens only when the agent's model needs it: on conversations started with Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and other non-OpenAI agents, which is roughly three in four, opening a conversation drops from about 2.7 seconds to under half a second. Conversations on OpenAI-based agents behave exactly as before, and an agent switched to an OpenAI model partway through a conversation picks up what it needs on its next turn.

2026.08.09 Accounts > The Sign-In Screen Loads A Fraction Of What It Used To

The sign-in screen was downloading the whole application before it could show you a username box, a password box and a button — around 11 MB of JavaScript. Signing in now loads only what that screen actually needs, so it appears far faster, and the difference is most noticeable on a phone or a slow connection. Nothing about how you sign in changes, and the rest of the app still loads as you move into it.

2026.08.09 Mobile > iPads And Sideways Phones Get The Full Layout

Sapience worked out whether to show you the phone layout using more than just the size of your window, so an iPad — and a phone held sideways — could end up with the cramped phone layout instead of the full one. Layout now follows the width of the window alone: an iPad and a landscape phone get the desktop experience, and a narrow window gets the mobile one. The space reserved along the top for a notch or Dynamic Island is now taken from the device itself rather than assumed, so an ordinary browser tab no longer carries an empty band across the top, while phones that draw edge to edge still clear the camera cutout — including full-screen dialogs, which sit outside the main app frame and previously did not.

2026.08.11 Agents > Auto-Generated Memories Are On By Default

Daily auto-generated memories, introduced on 2 August as an opt-in, are now on by default for every account. Once a day an agent reads the messages you have sent since its last pass and saves the new durable facts it finds — your role, preferences, ongoing projects, working style — as Memory objects in the Agent Memories screen, and every agent you talk to afterwards starts the conversation already knowing them. Nothing changes about the memories themselves: they are marked as agent-created, and you can review, edit or delete them like any other memory. A new account is included from the day it is created, with no setup step, and the setting stays controllable per user for anyone who would rather it did not run. The daily summary email is unchanged and still goes only to accounts that asked for it, so everyone else accumulates memories quietly in the background.

2026.08.11 Agents > Project And Task Lookups Cover Everything You Can See

Ask an agent which projects you have, or what is on your plate today, and it resolves the same view Sapience shows you: projects you own and projects shared with you, answered together as one list rather than one of them at a time. Task lists are scoped to live work, so anything sitting inside an archived or completed project is left out — archiving a finished project genuinely clears it from what an agent reports back, and the room that frees up goes to work that is still open. Each task an agent lists now carries its project identifier alongside the project name, so an agent can move straight from a task to the project holding it without another lookup. Where a list is longer than one answer can carry, the agent is told how many it is showing out of how many exist, rather than treating a partial list as the whole.

2026.08.11 Models > Qwen3.8 Max And Grok 4.5

Two new models are available everywhere you choose one: the model selector in chat, the create-agent wizard, the advanced options on a conversation, and the Sapience AI Store. Qwen3.8 Max is built for agentic work across very long inputs, with a one-million-token context window, image understanding, and a reasoning-effort control for trading depth against speed. Grok 4.5 is the faster generalist of the pair, also reads images, and exposes a temperature control for how tightly it sticks to the obvious answer. Either can be picked for a single reply, set as the model behind an agent you create, or browsed alongside the rest of the roster in the AI Store.

2026.08.08 Agents > New In The AI Store: CPTO Agent

The Sapience AI Store adds a Chief Product & Technology Officer agent in the Product & Engineering category. It acts as a full product-and-engineering department for founders without a CPTO, and as a working sidekick for a sitting one: product discovery and roadmap prioritization, PRD authoring using the built-in PRD skill, build-vs-buy analysis, engineering metrics, and architecture strategy. It answers in one voice while quietly handing build work, data analysis, design, research, and contract questions to the right specialist agents behind the scenes, and it opens every engagement by establishing your company context before advising.

2026.08.08 Agents > New In The AI Store: General Counsel Agent

A General Counsel agent joins the AI Store in the Compliance & Legal category. It covers the GC seat end to end — corporate governance, commercial contracting strategy, privacy programs across European, Californian and Australian privacy law, employment-law fundamentals, IP strategy, and legal operations — while always routing tax-law questions to the dedicated Australian and US tax agents and contract redlines to the Contract Review agent, then synthesizing one answer in one voice. Every substantive answer carries a clear professional-advice boundary: it is a powerful working resource, not your attorney of record.

2026.08.08 AI Models > Meta Muse Spark 1.2

Meta released Muse Spark 1.2 quickly after 1.1. It remains an excellent model (fast; large context; multi-modal; great at agentic tool use and delegation). 1.2 gets a small bump in intelligence, material speed improvements and noticeably less verbose reasoning summaries on the wire. One of the best models on the market right now.

2026.08.08 Agents > A New Default Web Research Agent, And Perplexity Gets Its Own

The Sapience Web Research Agent searches with Google from inside Gemini and answers fast, with clickable sources, and can save what it finds straight into your Sapience files as a report — it is the one to reach for on current events, prices, companies and products. The agent previously called Web Research Agent is now the Perplexity Agent, and keeps doing what it has always been best at: deep, multi-source, report-style investigation. Both are in the AI Store under Research.

2026.08.08 Chat > Exported Conversations Say Who Was Speaking

Exporting a conversation to PDF or Word headed every turn either User or Assistant, which reads well enough for a one-to-one chat but not for a conversation with several people and several agents in it, where there was no way to tell who had said what. Each turn now carries the speaker's own name: a person appears as their full name with their username after it, and an agent appears by the agent's own name, so a transcript of a group conversation reads as a conversation rather than an alternating pair of roles. A turn whose author can no longer be looked up still appears in full, labelled by role as before.

2026.08.07 Agents > Sapience Chief Of Staff Agent

A new installable agent puts a chief of staff between you and your workload. It works from your real tasks and projects rather than a guess at them: ask for your daily brief and it reads what is overdue, what is waiting on someone else and what needs a decision from you today — kept to one screen, with each item appearing exactly once — and it saves each brief so the next morning's can honestly report what moved. Send it into a project and it triages what's stuck and writes the missing follow-ups back in, each one flagged for your review rather than silently folded into your plan; say approve and they go live in one word. The things people owe you become chases, assembled as one batch of finished drafts — recipient, subject and body, in send order — for you to release in a single sitting, because it never sends an email or books a meeting on its own, even when told to. Work that belongs to a specialist — finance, marketing, research, data, contracts — is handed to the Sapience agent built for it and comes back as one answer in one voice. A built-in starter schedules the daily brief for 7am every morning. Install it from the Sapience AI Store, in the Agents/Orchestration category.

2026.08.07 Files > Opening A Folder Loads That Folder

Opening a folder on the Files page assembled its contents from whatever the app had already loaded for your whole account rather than asking for the folder itself, so on a large account a folder could show fewer files than it holds — or look empty — until the full listing had finished arriving, with nothing on screen to tell the two apart. Opening a folder now asks for that folder's contents directly and fills them in behind what you are already looking at, so there is no waiting and no spinner. Refresh inside a folder refreshes that folder rather than re-reading your entire library, which on an account of a few thousand files takes about a second instead of several. The top level of the Files page still loads your whole library as it always did, and search still looks across everything you have rather than narrowing to the folder you happen to be standing in.

2026.08.07 Desktop > Your Desktop Session Stays Signed In When Its Sign-In Expires

Leaving the desktop app running long enough for your sign-in to expire signed you out in the middle of a session, and the login screen came back completely empty — even though the app had already renewed your sign-in in the background and had everything it needed to keep you going. A desktop session now renews itself quietly and carries on, so a machine left running overnight is still signed in the next morning. If a sign-in genuinely cannot be renewed — after you change your password on the web, for instance — the login screen comes back with your username already filled in, so there is only your password to type.

2026.08.07 Agents > Faster Web Research, And Several Searches At Once

Ask any agent something that needs current information and it now researches the web through Google Search, which comes back noticeably quicker than before and still attaches the same source links to the answer, so you can see where every claim came from. A question with several strands to it no longer costs one search after another either: an agent can split it into separate searches and run them together in one step, so a three-part question is answered in roughly the time a single part used to take. Nothing changes in how you ask — raise something recent, or say you want current information, and the agent decides to go and look exactly as it did before. Agents that do long-form research reports, which take minutes rather than seconds and produce a written report, are unchanged and still available when you ask for one.

2026.08.07 API > Add, Remove Or Rename A Tag Across Everything That Carries It

Tags could be browsed but not edited, so a tag applied across a hundred notes, projects and files had to be unpicked one object at a time, and near-duplicates like efqm2025 and efqm-2025 could not be merged at all. A single new endpoint, POST /v2/srm/tag, now adds, removes or renames a tag across notes, projects, memories, skills and files in one call: name the objects you mean, or leave them out and it acts on every object you can write that carries the tag. Renaming onto a tag that already exists merges the two into one. Objects you can only read are left untouched and listed back to you in the response, so you can see exactly what was skipped, and dry_run reports the full blast radius before you commit to anything.

2026.08.07 Settings > Advanced Settings Save Automatically

Changing a setting on the Advanced Settings tab meant opening the panel, making your change, and remembering to click Save before you left it — miss that step and the change was lost. Checkboxes and dropdowns there now save themselves as soon as you change them, combining several quick changes into one save and confirming with a brief Saving…/Saved label. This holds however you leave the panel, including pressing Esc or clicking outside it. The Save button stays exactly where it was for Custom Instructions, About Me and your Agent settings, which are unchanged.

2026.08.07 Meetings > Meeting Transcripts Open Ready To Read

Opening a meeting transcript from the Meetings list put you straight into the note editor rather than showing you the note, which had two consequences: links in the transcript's Recordings section could not be followed, because the editor treats a click on a link as selecting it rather than opening it, and a transcript shared with your whole organization showed nothing at all when you clicked it. Meeting transcripts now open in the same note viewer the rest of Sapience uses, so recording links open in one click and organization-level transcripts read normally. Editing is still one click away on the EDIT NOTE button in the viewer; it is simply no longer where you land.

2026.08.07 Voice > The Listening Message Clears When You Stop Talking

Starting a voice conversation posted an "I'm listening" line into the chat, and that line stayed exactly as it was after you finished — still saying it was listening, still showing the animated dots that mean a reply is on its way. Stopping, closing or cancelling a voice session now updates that line in place to say the session has ended and stops the animation, so the conversation reflects what is actually happening. Dictation, which posts nothing into the chat, is unchanged.

2026.08.07 Mobile > Meeting Transcripts Fit The Screen In Portrait

A meeting transcript containing a wide table ran off the right edge of a phone held in portrait, so part of every row was unreachable; turning the phone sideways worked, which made it look like a transcript you could only read in landscape. Tables in a transcript now size themselves to the screen and wrap their text instead of holding a fixed width, so a transcript reads top to bottom in portrait. This applies at render time, so transcripts you already have are covered — nothing needs to be re-saved.

2026.08.07 Notes > A Note You Own Stays Editable After You Share It With Your Organization

Taking one of your own notes and sharing it with your whole organization left you unable to edit it: the Edit button disappeared from the note and the Edit entry disappeared from its Actions menu, with nothing to say why. Your own notes now stay editable by you after you share them organization-wide, and appear read-only to everyone else exactly as they did before.

2026.08.07 Projects > Sorting Goals And Tasks Keeps Each Task Under Its Goal

Sorting the Goals & Tasks list by a column could separate tasks from the goal they belong to, gathering them at the bottom of the list rather than keeping each one beneath its parent. Sorting now reorders goals at the top level and reorders each goal's own tasks underneath it, so the shape of your plan survives the sort whichever column you pick. Sorting the list while it was still loading could also leave rows out of the list until you navigated away and back; sorting now waits for the list to finish arriving.

2026.08.06 Meetings > Your Notetaker Turns Up To The Meetings It Is Booked For

A notetaker booked for a meeting on your connected calendar did not always attend it, and there was nothing on the meeting beforehand to tell you it would not. Sapience now re-checks each booking ahead of the meeting and books the notetaker again if the original booking is no longer live, so a meeting you expected to be captured is captured. Nothing changes in how you set this up: connect your calendar once, and meetings with a join link get a notetaker as they always did.

2026.08.05 Agents > Sapience CMO Agent

A new installable agent covers the whole marketing function: an expert CMO for a company that doesn't have one, and a chief of staff for the one who does. Ask it how to reach a revenue number and it builds the model out loud first — the deals that target implies, the opportunities behind them, how much open opportunity has to be in play to produce them — and only then talks about channels, so you can see whether the plan's own arithmetic holds before you spend against it. Before it answers it establishes your stage, what you sell and to whom, your average contract value, sales motion, current channels, budget and team, then shows you what it assumed and what would change if an assumption is wrong. It helps with demand generation and revenue planning, CAC and payback, positioning and messaging, attribution and what it can honestly prove, and the marketing section of a board pack. Benchmarks arrive with their source and vintage attached, and it will tell you plainly when a figure is a planning aid rather than a measured one. Specialist work — content and SEO, creative, LinkedIn, research, analytics, enrichment, landing pages, agency contracts, ad-claims questions, budget finance — is handed to the Sapience agent built for it and folded back into one answer. Install it from the Sapience AI Store, in the Sales & Marketing category.

2026.08.05 Agents > Content & SEO Strategist

A new installable agent for organic growth: content strategy, technical SEO, and being cited by AI answer engines. Its defining habit is telling you what kind of claim you are getting — whether something is documented by the search engine itself, measured by a named study, genuinely contested among credible practitioners, or simply folklore that gets repeated without evidence behind it. That last distinction matters most in AI search, where a great deal is being sold as settled practice on very little evidence. It establishes your site, CMS, market and current organic position before advising, since the same question has a different answer for a new site than an established one, and it covers content plans and topical authority, the editorial operation, crawling and indexing, site architecture, Core Web Vitals, structured data, international and hreflang, replatform migrations, and what organic attribution can and cannot prove. The CMO Agent hands organic work to it. Install it from the Sapience AI Store, in the Sales & Marketing category.

2026.08.05 Chat > Your Whole Conversation History Loads By Itself

Opening Sapience shows your most recent conversations in the sidebar straight away and then loads the rest behind the scenes. On an account with a long history that second pass could stop short, so the All Conversations list settled at a few hundred entries and only showed everything after you chose Get All Conversations from the Actions menu — and it was back to the shorter list the next time you opened the app. That pass now runs to completion every time, so your full conversation history is there without you having to ask for it. The sidebar still appears immediately, and Get All Conversations is still there if you want to refresh the list yourself.

2026.08.05 Files > Save Now Offers Downloading Or Adding To A Project

Adding a file's copy to a project already worked, but the option lived in a menu that was easy to miss. The Download button in the file viewer is now Save: choose it and pick Download to my computer or Save to a project, and the project picker you already know opens. A file someone has shared with you still downloads in one click as before, since it is not yours to file into a project.

2026.08.05 Files > Share A File With Your Whole Organization From The Share Dialog

Sharing a file with everyone in your organization already worked as Promote to Org File, reached from a file's menu. The Share dialog now offers the same thing directly, alongside sharing with one person or creating a public link: choose Share with all users in my Org and it's done. Once a file is already shared with your whole organization, that option no longer appears, since there is nothing left to share.

2026.08.05 Projects > Calendar And Spreadsheet Join All My Tasks

All My Tasks now offers Calendar and Spreadsheet alongside its table, Eisenhower Matrix and Kanban Board. Filter or search in the table and that same selected set carries into every view; a prominent Filters applied banner makes the narrowing obvious, and Clear All Filters restores your workload without changing the view or the built-in All My Tasks scope. Calendar lets you reschedule tasks from several projects in one place. Spreadsheet shows each task with its project and relevant goal hierarchy, lets you add tasks and goals to a writable project, and supports adding a goal with its tasks in one save.

2026.08.05 Chat > A Conversation You Name Yourself Keeps That Name

Sapience names a conversation for you based on what you discuss in it, and refreshes its summary as the conversation grows. If you had renamed a conversation yourself, that automatic naming could later replace your name with a generated one. Rename a conversation now and the name is yours to keep — Sapience will not rename it again, however long the conversation runs or however many times you come back to it. Summaries carry on refreshing exactly as before, and conversations you have never renamed are still named for you automatically. Conversations you renamed before this change are not covered retrospectively; rename one again and it will be.

2026.08.04 Projects > View All Your Tasks As A List, Eisenhower Matrix Or Kanban Board

All My Tasks can now switch between its table, Eisenhower Matrix and Kanban Board. Apply a filter or search first and the same selected tasks carry into whichever view you choose, including tasks from several projects; changing the view never brings filtered-out work back. You can open and edit a task, drag its priority in Eisenhower or its status in Kanban, refresh the view and use it full screen. Your changes are saved to the project each task belongs to and are still there when you return. The table remains the default, and table-only tools such as grouping, export, column choice and bulk actions stay in the table.

2026.08.04 Email > Emailing An Agent With Attachments No Longer Clutters The Conversation

Emailing a Sapience agent with one or more files attached used to add an extra line to the conversation for every attachment, ahead of your actual email — a message with three attachments could show up looking like four separate messages instead of one. The conversation now shows just your email. Every attachment is still added to the conversation's file list and the agent still knows about all of them.

2026.08.04 Chat > Retrying A File Attachment No Longer Lists It Twice

If attaching a file to a conversation failed partway through, trying again could leave the file listed twice once it succeeded. Attaching the same file again now always leaves exactly one listing for it, however many times you try.

2026.08.04 Agents > Sapience CFO Agent

A new installable agent covers the whole finance function: it's a fractional CFO for a company that doesn't have one, and a chief-of-staff sidekick for the CFO who does. Before it answers anything, it establishes your stage, jurisdiction, entity type, fiscal calendar and revenue model, then shows you a short summary of what it assumed and what would change if an assumption is wrong. It helps with budgets and rolling forecasts, unit economics, cash and runway, fundraising and cap tables, covenants and treasury, month-end close, and board and investor reporting. For deal and valuation work — financial models, comps, precedent transactions, accretion/dilution — it hands the work to the Deal & Corporate Finance Analyst and folds the result into one answer. Install it from the Sapience AI Store, in the Finance + M&A category.

2026.08.04 Agents > Deal & Corporate Finance Analyst

A new installable agent for the person who builds the model — the LBO, the variance bridge, the returns decomposition, the 13-week cash flow, the investment-committee memo. It works two seats and asks which one you're in before doing analytical work, since the same question has a different right answer in each: a PE deal seat (LBO builds matched to the stage of the process, integrating a quality-of-earnings report, returns bridges that decompose IRR and MOIC, SaaS diligence metrics, IC memo craft) and a corporate finance seat (variance analysis, rolling reforecasts, 13-week cash flow, covenant headroom, board-pack framing). Install it from the Sapience AI Store, in the Finance + M&A category.

2026.08.04 Menu > Reorder Your Favorites By Dragging Them

Favorites — files, notes, agents, chats and projects you have starred — always sorted by how recently you favorited them, with no way to put the ones you use most at the top. You can now drag a favorite into the order you want, right on the dashboard Favorites board or in the sidebar list, and the new order carries through everywhere favorites appear, including the sidebar's View All Favorites list. In that list, where entries can sit far apart, up and down arrows do the same job as dragging. If you have never reordered anything, your favorites keep sorting by recency exactly as before.

2026.08.04 Chat > An Attachment You Add Shows In Your Own Thread Straight Away

Files and images you added to a conversation reached everyone else in it, but the thread on your own screen did not always say so until you reloaded: an image you pasted appeared for the other people in the conversation and not for you, and a file you dropped onto a chat, or one you dropped elsewhere and chose to chat about, could go in without the conversation announcing it. The conversation now shows the attachment to the person who added it as soon as it lands, whichever way it was added — pasting an image, using the paperclip, dropping a file onto an open chat, or dropping one anywhere else and choosing to chat about it rather than file it. What everyone else in the conversation sees, and what you see when you come back to it later, are unchanged.

2026.08.04 Projects > Picking A Project Works The Same Way Everywhere

Choosing a project — saving an answer out of a chat into one, starting a task from the New menu, or picking one in the sidebar — asked the same question in three different ways, and each list arrived in a different order, none of which put the projects you actually work in near the top. Starting a task also offered projects that were no place to file work: ones you had archived or finished, and templates. Every place you pick a project now shows the same list in the same order — the ones you have starred first, then the rest with the most recently updated at the top — so what you want is where you expect it wherever you are choosing from, and the star beside a row tells you why it is sitting there. You can type to narrow the list as before. Starting a task now offers only projects that are actually running, so an archived project or a template is no longer somewhere a task can land.

2026.08.04 Chat > Files And Images You Share In A Conversation Stay There, For Everyone

Attaching a file to a conversation, or pasting an image straight into the message box, confirmed on your own screen and went no further: other people in the same conversation were never told it had arrived and could not open it, and a pasted image was read by the agent on the turn you pasted it and then not kept. Both now become a permanent part of the conversation. The conversation announces the attachment by name in the thread, everyone in that conversation is told about it as it happens and can open it without it having to be shared with them separately, and it is still there when you come back and reload — including for someone who joins later and scrolls back through what they missed. Pasted images behave exactly as they did for the agent, which still reads them on the turn you paste them, and are now saved into the conversation as well. Access follows the conversation itself, so an attachment reaches the people in that conversation and nobody beyond it.

2026.08.03 Projects > Start A Project In Another Language (Template Translations)

Starting a project from a template always produced an English project, whatever language you work in, so a German or Arabic team began by translating the whole thing themselves. Pick either of the EFQM templates in the New Project wizard and a language selector now appears offering English, Deutsch and العربية. Choose one and the project arrives already in that language: its name and description, every goal and task, and the text of every note. The project's own agent answers you in that language too, so the work carries on the way it started rather than switching back to English at the first question. What you get is an ordinary project in a single language, not a bilingual one with a toggle — you can rename anything, add to it and share it exactly as you would any other project, and typing your own name or description into the wizard keeps what you typed rather than replacing it. Arabic and Hebrew text lays out right to left wherever it appears: in a note, in a task description, in the calendar, and in a view.

2026.08.03 Projects > Changing Your Mind About A Template Updates The Form

The New Project wizard fills in the name and description from the template you pick, but it only ever did that once: choose a second template and the form kept showing the first one's details, and pressing Finish created the project with them. The form now refreshes to match whichever template is selected, so what you see before you press Finish is what you get. Anything you have typed yourself is left alone — changing template replaces only what the wizard filled in for you.

2026.08.03 Connected Apps > Connect Google Slides to Sapience

Google Slides joins the apps you can connect to Sapience, completing the Google set alongside Drive, Sheets and Docs — it sits in the Individual list, so there is no plan upgrade to make and nothing to ask an administrator for. Open Connected Apps in the sidebar, pick Google Slides and press Connect to authorise your account, or do the same from Settings and Integrations. Once it is connected, Google Slides appears in the app picker beneath the chat box: choose it and Sapience sets out what it can do with your presentations and offers three starting points you can click straight away — summarising your most recent deck, finding a presentation about a piece of work, and building a new deck out of the conversation you are already having. From there just ask in plain language and name the presentation you mean, and the agent will find it, read the content off its slides, or draft and extend a deck on your behalf.

2026.08.02 Agents > Daily Auto-Generated Memories

Sapience can now build your Agent Memories for you. Once a day, an agent reads the messages you have sent since its last pass and saves the new durable facts it finds — your role, preferences, ongoing projects, working style — as Memory objects in the Agent Memories screen, exactly as if you had asked an agent to remember them. Every agent you talk to then starts the conversation already knowing them. The feature is opt-in per user, and memories it creates are marked as agent-created so you can review, edit, or delete them like any other memory.

2026.08.02 Projects > Duplicating A Project Is Now Instant, And Always Complete

Duplicating a project — from the right-click menu on a project card, from the Actions menu inside a project, or by saving one as a template — used to rebuild the copy piece by piece from your browser: every file was fetched and sent back up again, and every note, goal and task was recreated one at a time, so a project of any size took a while and the dialog needed a progress bar to report how far it had got. Sapience now makes the copy in a single step and none of your files travel through the browser at all, so a duplicate arrives in seconds however much the project holds. The Clone Project dialog is simpler to match: it asks for a name and nothing else, because a duplicate now always carries everything — notes, files, goals and tasks — rather than offering four tick-boxes for choosing which parts to bring. Starting a new project from a template takes the same path, so it behaves identically.

2026.08.02 Projects > Task Descriptions Are Labelled Wherever You Hover Them

Hovering a task shows a preview of its description, but what you got depended on where you hovered: the Task List printed a cramped one-line preview behind an abbreviated label, and the Calendar view showed the description exactly as it had been typed, so any formatting in it arrived as punctuation around the words. Every one of those previews now opens with the description's own heading — Task Description, Note Description and so on, matching the kind of thing you are hovering — followed by the description itself as formatted text, so bold, lists and paragraphs read the way they do when you open the item. A description longer than the panel scrolls inside it rather than being cut off at the first line, and an item with no description shows no panel at all instead of an empty box following your pointer.

2026.08.02 Settings > Create A Project Ticks Itself Off Straight Away

The Create a Project step on your Onboarding & Setup tile could sit unticked even when you had dozens of projects, because the tile made up its mind about that step while your projects were still being loaded and never looked again. It now waits for your projects to arrive before deciding, so the step reads correctly the first time the dashboard draws and matches what the sidebar is telling you. The step also now carries the same icon Projects uses everywhere else in the app.

2026.08.02 Projects > Add Goals And Tasks Straight Into The Spreadsheet View

A project's Tasks & Goals Manager offers a Spreadsheet view for working through many rows at once, but it only ever listed tasks: the goals those tasks belong to were missing entirely, and the Goal column beside every task was blank, so the one view built for bulk work could neither show nor set the thing that organises the work. The Spreadsheet view now shows your goals as rows in their own right, with each goal's tasks nested underneath it and sub-goals sitting in their proper place; a task that belongs to no goal appears at the top level rather than dropping out of sight. Goals are editable here like anything else, so you can retitle one or set its owner, status, urgency, importance or due date without leaving the sheet, and changing a task's Goal moves it under that goal as you watch. Add Task and Add Goal links now sit below the sheet: each drops in a blank row you fill in across the columns, you can add as many as you like in one sitting, and a single Save writes them all. A goal you add that way is offered in the Goal column straight away, so adding a goal and filing several new tasks under it is one pass rather than a save-and-come-back.

2026.08.02 Projects > Task Descriptions Read Properly In The Hover Preview

Hovering a task in the Task List view shows a short preview of its description, but that preview printed the description exactly as it had been typed, so any formatting in it arrived as punctuation around the words rather than as formatting. Bold text was the obvious case, since agents use it constantly when they write a task for you. Descriptions in the hover preview now read as formatted text, the same way they do when you open the task itself.

2026.08.02 Agents > Your Agents Know Which Company You Work For

Every conversation opened by telling the agent a little about you — your name, your role, and the name of your organization — and stopped there. A name on its own tells an agent almost nothing: it could not say what your company does or point at its website, so anything it needed to know about your employer had to be typed in again each time. Agents now begin every conversation knowing your organization's name, its website and its description. An agent drafting for a client, sizing up a competitor or writing in your company's voice starts from what your company actually is rather than guessing from a name. The details are read fresh each time a conversation starts, so if your organization's website or description changes, the next conversation you open reflects it. This applies to every agent, the Web Research Agent included.

2026.08.02 Projects > A Clearer Projects List and Project Home

The projects list and each project's home page have been redesigned. The list now opens by saying what Projects are for and links to the documentation, and each project card carries a folder icon, the project's status, and its task, file and member counts on one line that stays readable as the window narrows. Inside a project, the name, status, description and documentation link now sit together in a single header card with the Chat and Actions buttons pinned to its top right, and the tabs beneath belong to that same card rather than floating away from it. Project Information, Quick Stats and Tags each carry an icon so you can pick out the one you want at a glance. The AI Summary panel has been removed from a project's overview: it restated the name, status, file, member and note counts and the creation date already shown in the two cards directly above it.

2026.08.02 Settings > Your Setup Checklist Now Covers Six Steps

The Onboarding & Setup tile on your dashboard listed three things to set up. It now covers six, adding the three that make the biggest difference once the basics are in place: putting an agent to work on a schedule so things happen while you are away, uploading files so your agents answer from your own material rather than the open web, and creating a project so a piece of work has its own home with its own files, goals and agents. Each step is still a single click from the place that fixes it, and still marks itself done as soon as you finish it without a reload. The six now sit as compact cards, three across, so the tile takes up far less of your dashboard than the list did, and hovering any card tells you what that step is for and why it is worth doing. Once all six are done the tile still becomes your tip of the day.

2026.08.02 API > Look Up A Username From An Email Address

The API can now resolve an email address to the Sapience username of the account it belongs to, useful when you have someone's email and need to address them by username elsewhere in the API or SDK. If more than one account shares that email, the response tells you to ask the person directly which account and username to use rather than guessing.

2026.08.01 Settings > Your Dashboard Shows What Is Left To Set Up, Then Teaches You Something Daily

Sapience works considerably better once it knows a few things about you — how you want agents to behave, who you are and what you are working on, and which of your everyday apps it can reach — but nothing on the dashboard ever said so, and most people never filled any of it in. A new Onboarding & Setup tile now sits at the top of your dashboard listing those three steps and marking each one done or not, and every incomplete step is a single click from the place that fixes it: the AI Customization settings for your instructions and your About Me, the Connected Apps manager for your apps. Complete a step and the tile updates as soon as you close the panel, without a reload. Once all three are done the tile does not disappear — it becomes a tip of the day, one from a catalogue of thirty, covering things like translating a whole file, dictating in one language and writing in another, putting an agent to work inside a note with @, and letting the Eisenhower Matrix sort your tasks. Everyone sees the same tip on the same day. Like every other dashboard tile you can reorder it, collapse it or hide it from Customize Dashboard, and that choice follows you to your other devices.

2026.08.01 Chat > Rename, Edit or Delete Any Conversation, However Old

Renaming a conversation, editing its details, deleting it, sharing it or asking it for a summary reached only your most recent conversations — roughly the newest hundred by the date you last touched them, and fewer than that in practice, since conversations you had already deleted took up places in that count without appearing anywhere. An older conversation would open and read perfectly well, then report that it could not be found the moment you tried to rename it. All of those actions now reach any conversation in your history, however far back it sits. Which conversations you can change is decided by who owns a conversation and by the level of access a share carries, so a conversation shared with you to read stays readable and one shared with you to edit can be edited.

2026.08.01 Files > Choose Chat Or Upload When You Drag A File In

Dragging a file onto Sapience always opened the upload form, even when it was obvious where the file belonged, and there was no way to say you simply wanted to talk to an agent about it. The app now only asks when it genuinely cannot tell. Drop a file while you are in a chat and it attaches to that conversation with no clicks at all. Drop one anywhere in Files, at the top level or inside a folder, and it uploads straight to where you are standing and shows you the progress. Everywhere else you get a two-button choice: chat about the file, or upload it. Inside a project the upload button names that project and files it there in one click, and choosing to chat opens a new conversation with the file already attached and confirmed in the thread. Dragging in a whole folder still recreates its structure exactly as before.

2026.08.01 Agents > Fewer, Clearer Categories in the AI Catalogue

The AI Catalogue's category list had grown to twenty-six shelves, several of which were the same idea under two names — data analysis next to Data & Analytics, finance next to M&A, coding next to Product and websites, compliance next to Legal — so browsing for a subject meant checking two or three of them to be sure you had seen everything Sapience offers. Related shelves are now merged, taking the list to eighteen: Data & Analytics, Finance + M&A, Compliance & Legal, Product & Engineering, Sales & Marketing, Writing & Communication, Help & Support and Strategy each hold everything that belongs to them, and each count covers the whole shelf rather than part of it. An agent or skill can belong to more than one category, so a tax specialist is filed under Finance + M&A and also appears under Compliance & Legal. Three agents that had additionally been listed under Research — a contract reviewer and two tax specialists — now appear only under the categories they belong to, so Research holds the research specialists and nothing else.

2026.08.01 Organizations > Sign-Up Asks For Your Company Website

Creating an organization as you sign up now asks for your company website alongside the organization name. Sapience fills it in for you from your email address — sign up as you@acme.com and it proposes your company domain — and it stays yours to correct or replace, so you are confirming a sensible default rather than typing it from scratch. Generic mailbox providers are left blank for you to fill in, since a personal mailbox says nothing about the company. What you type is tidied into a consistent form, so your domain on its own, in capitals, or with a trailing slash all come out the same.

2026.08.01 Chat > Web Research Answers Always Show Their Sources

Answers drawing on web research often listed their sources as a label with nothing after it — the title of a page, then an empty space where the link should have been — or gave no sources at all, even though the research had found them. Which sources appeared, and in what shape, was left to the agent to write out by hand, so it varied from one answer to the next. Sapience now takes the sources from the research itself and renders each one as a numbered marker you can click, so every web source behind an answer is present and clickable every time. This holds both when you chat with the Web Research Agent directly and when another agent does web research for you part-way through an answer, and the sources are kept with the message, so they are still there when you come back to the conversation later.

2026.08.01 Agents > Browse the AI Store by Category, With Agents and Skills Together

The AI Store on sapiencecloud.ai listed agents and skills under separate tabs, each with its own set of categories, so finding everything Sapience offers for a subject like Finance meant looking it up twice and putting the two answers together yourself. The store now has a single AI Catalogue: pick a category once and you see that category's agents and skills in one list, every card marked as an agent or a skill, with an All / Agents / Skills filter if you want to narrow it down. Categories that only ever held skills — presentations, visualisation, planning — now sit alongside the rest instead of being hidden behind a tab you might never open, and each category's count covers everything in it rather than half of it. Agents are listed ahead of skills within a category, and AI Models & Tech stays where it was. Choosing a card from the store now offers to put you in touch with a Customer Success Manager, since running an agent or a skill needs a Sapience workspace to run it in.

2026.08.01 Projects > Share a Whole Project With Your Organization

Sharing a note with your organization has been a right-click away for a while, but a project could only be shared a piece at a time, so the thing that held the work together never travelled with it. Right-click a project card in Projects, or open the Actions menu inside a project, and you can now share the whole project with your organization in one step: its notes, tasks and goals go with it, along with every attached file, and you can make it private again just as easily. You can also publish a project as an organization template so colleagues can start new projects from it, and update a published template later to include anything you have added since. A new Shared with Org filter in the projects list shows what your colleagues have published, kept separate from your own projects so your list does not fill up with everyone else's work. Sharing reaches everything inside a project, so a large one can take a moment; the confirmation tells you what it covers before you commit.

2026.08.01 Connected Apps > Connect Slack to Sapience

Slack joins the apps you can connect to Sapience, in the Individual list alongside Gmail, Notion and Google Drive — there is no plan upgrade to make and nothing to ask an administrator for. Open Connected Apps in the sidebar, pick Slack and press Connect to authorise your workspace. Once it is connected, Slack appears in the app picker beneath the chat box: choose it and Sapience sets out what it can do with your workspace and offers three starting points you can click straight away — catching up on what you missed in a channel, finding the conversation where something was decided, and drafting a message to the team. From there just ask in plain language, naming the channel or the person you mean, and the agent works with Slack on your behalf.

2026.08.01 Chat > Copy the Source Behind a Citation

When an agent cites its sources, each claim carries a small numbered marker, and hovering one showed the name of the source it came from. That was all it did — the label was there to read and nothing more, so following a web source meant retyping it or hunting for it in the Sources line underneath. Hovering a citation marker now shows that label as a panel you can click, and clicking it copies the full source link to your clipboard with a brief confirmation in place of the label. The panel stays put as you move the pointer onto it, so it is there to be clicked rather than disappearing as you reach for it, and it keeps clear of the edge of the window instead of overlapping the text beside it. Citations that point to one of your files copy the file name.

2026.07.30 Projects > A Goal Column and One-Click Filters on Task Grids

Task grids in Views & Reports now carry a Goal column, so you can see which goal a task belongs to without opening it. Quick actions sit above the grid to override the view's default filter in one click — "Show Done" being the common one — and grouping got easier to live with: groups start collapsed, with Expand All and Clear Groups to hand, translated column headers, and a wider Name column.

2026.07.24 Chat > The Agent Tells You It Is Still Working

A hard question can leave a gap of ten to twenty seconds before the first word of an answer arrives. The agent now posts a short sequence of progress lines while it works, so you can see it is active and roughly what stage it has reached.

2026.07.24 Agents > Several Tools at Once on Eight More Models

Agents on eight further models — including the engine behind the default project agent — can now call several tools in the same step instead of working through them one at a time. Answers that gather from a few places at once come back noticeably faster.

2026.07.24 Agents > Deeper Thinking by Default for Project, File and Folder Agents

The default agent that every new project, file and folder gets now runs at a higher reasoning effort: answers take a little longer and come back better considered. The same pass reviewed the tool set these agents ship with, so a newly created project agent can browse that project's files from its first turn.

2026.07.24 API > Domain Restriction Applies on Every Web-Search Path

`POST /api/v2/utilities/web-search`, and every agent's built-in web research, now apply a caller's "restrict to these domains" filter consistently across all search modes, including the default one. Agents configured to draw only on authoritative sources — among them Legal, Contract Review and Due Diligence — inherit this directly.

2026.07.24 Projects > Task Edits Save From Everywhere You Can Open a Task

A task can be opened from a Views & Reports drilldown, from chat, from search results and from a note. All of those entry points now run through the same save path, so an edit made from any of them persists, and the Delete button in the dialog works from each.

2026.07.24 Projects > One Goal Dialog Behind Every Entry Point

Creating or editing a goal now goes through a single shared dialog wherever you start from, so the due date and the assignee are handled the same way on every screen and persist with the goal.

2026.07.24 Files > Upload From the Dashboard Straight Into Any Project

The dashboard's upload tile now opens the uploader directly and lets you choose where the file lands — any folder or any project — using the same nested picker Files uses everywhere else.

2026.07.24 Agents > Approval Carries Through to the Work

When an agent asks permission to create tasks or goals on your behalf, that approval now flows straight into the action it was granted for, so the work happens in the same turn you approve it.

2026.07.24 Files > Hardened Video Processing

Hardened video-to-audio and video-to-text conversion, improving how it handles transient failures and broadening the range of inputs it accepts. The same pass hardened public message-share links and the delivery of task-notification email.

2026.07.24 Sharing > Shared Messages Carry Their Sender Details

A shared message now reliably carries the name of the person who sent it, and sharing by public link handles the recipient list more robustly where there is no named recipient to add.

2026.07.24 Files > Files Keep Their Folder, Tags and Sharing

Hardened how a file's stored attributes are read, so its folder, its tags and its sharing details survive a wider range of stored values and stay attached to the file.

2026.07.22 Models > Google Gemini 3.6 Flash

Google's Gemini 3.6 Flash is selectable in the model picker, and it is now the default model behind chat with a file, a folder or a note — the same capability as before at a lower cost per answer.

2026.07.22 Menu > A Favorites Board on Your Dashboard

Your pinned items now appear as tiles on the dashboard, three across, each with a hover summary of what it is and a right-click menu to open it or drop it from favorites. The sidebar favorites list was tightened up to match.

2026.07.22 Chat > The Model Chip Reads "Agent Default" Until You Change It

The chip under the chat box always showed the underlying model name, which made it look like a choice you had made. It now reads "Agent Default", and names a model only once you have picked one yourself.

2026.07.22 Settings > Turn On Developer Tools

Settings → Advanced carries a new "Enable Developer Tools" switch. Turn it on and developer-oriented views become available on that device, including in the desktop app.

2026.07.21 Projects > Alt+T Creates a Task From Anywhere

Alt+T opens the new-task flow wherever you are, and the project picker inside it opens instantly rather than pausing to load your projects first.

2026.07.21 Files > A File You Just Created Appears in Its Project

Tightened how a project's file list takes up newly created files, so a file created inside a project shows in that project's list straight away, without a reload.

2026.07.20 Skills > Six Skill Categories Instead of Sixteen

The skill picker was split across sixteen overlapping categories. It now uses six clear ones, so finding the skill you want takes a look rather than a hunt.

2026.07.20 Models > A Shorter Model Chip

Five older Claude and GPT models came off the quick model chip under the chat box to keep the everyday list short. All of them are still available when you create an agent or open Advanced options.

2026.07.20 Projects > A Tidier Task Dialog

Goal and Assignee now share a row in the task dialog instead of stacking, and the Description field carries placeholder guidance on what belongs in it.

2026.07.19 Models > Moonshot Kimi K3

Moonshot's Kimi K3 is selectable in the chat model picker, the create-agent wizard and agent settings.

2026.07.19 Models > Reasoning Effort Is Wired Through on Muse Spark

The low, medium and high reasoning-effort setting is now carried end to end into Muse Spark agents, so the level you choose shapes how much the model works a question. Response length across the fleet was tuned at the same time, so a short question gets a proportionate answer.

2026.07.19 Agents > An Agent's Abilities Follow the Agent, Not the Vendor

What an agent can do — file upload, deep research and the rest — is now determined by the agent's own configuration rather than inferred from which vendor its model comes from. Moving a project agent between models keeps its capabilities intact.

2026.07.19 Voice > Hardened Voice in the Desktop App

Hardened dictation and read-aloud in the desktop app, aligning their network path with the rest of the application and adding retry behaviour so a brief connection blip no longer ends the attempt.

2026.07.19 Chat > Live Updates Reconnect Across a Session Refresh

The live-update connection behind new messages and file changes now refreshes its credentials and reconnects on its own when a sign-in session rolls over, so the app keeps receiving updates without a reload.

2026.07.19 Agents > The Skills Tab Fills In as Skills Arrive

The Agent Browser's Skills tab now watches for skills to finish loading and fills itself in when they do, so opening it immediately after signing in shows the full list.

2026.07.19 Files > A Second Grid Engine for the Files Page, in Preview

Settings → Advanced carries an opt-in preview, "Use AG based FL3", which renders the Files page on a different grid engine. It looks and behaves the same; the switch is there so you can try it.

2026.07.19 Agents > Reasoning Models Run Without an Effort Setting

Agents on OpenAI reasoning models now fall back to a sensible reasoning effort when none has been set on them, so an agent created without that field runs normally.

2026.07.18 Chat > Long Conversations Compact Themselves

An agent can now compact its own conversation when it reaches a sensible point to do so, rather than carrying every earlier turn forward indefinitely. Long chats stay faster and cost less to continue.

2026.07.18 Chat > A Large Attachment No Longer Weighs Down Every Later Turn

Attaching a very large file used to carry its full contents into every subsequent message in that conversation. The agent is now told what the file is and reads it on demand through a file specialist, with a note in the chat when it does.

2026.07.18 Agents > Ask Any Agent About a Specific Large File

The tool that lets an agent work through one large file in depth was switched on only for project agents. It is on for every agent.

2026.07.18 Models > Project Agents Move to Meta Muse Spark 1.1

The default model behind project agents across the platform is now Meta's Muse Spark 1.1 — the same quality of answer at a lower cost per turn.

2026.07.18 Agents > An Agent Names the Vendor It Actually Runs On

The vendor shown against an agent now comes from the model registry rather than from a name pattern, so an agent on a non-OpenAI model reports the vendor it is really running on.

2026.07.18 Agents > Hardened Background Job Progress

Hardened how background agent jobs publish their progress, so a slow or unavailable real-time connection no longer holds up the work behind it.

2026.07.16 Chat > Very Long Conversations Compact Properly, and Say So

Compaction in a very long conversation now targets well below the context ceiling rather than trimming just enough to carry on, which leaves more room for the turn in front of you. You also get an explicit notice that compacting a very long conversation can cost some accuracy.

2026.07.15 Settings > Portuguese, Hindi and Malay Work End to End

Choosing Portuguese, Hindi or Malay now changes the language the agent answers in, not only the language of the interface.

2026.07.14 Settings > Brazilian Portuguese, and Your Language Choice Persists

Brazilian Portuguese joins the supported languages, making ten. Language preference is now stored and restored reliably across reloads, so the language you pick is the one you come back to.

2026.07.13 Voice > Dictate Anywhere With Alt+D

Press Alt+D anywhere in the web app and dictate straight to your clipboard, without first finding a text box to speak into. The web Dictate Mode shortcut moved from Ctrl+Shift+D to Alt+D at the same time, so it now sits with the app's other Alt shortcuts.

2026.07.13 Voice > Desktop Dictation Runs on the Shared Recorder

Desktop dictation now runs on the same recorder the rest of the app uses, which improves its reliability and its handling of edge cases — including telling you plainly when nothing was captured.

2026.07.13 Files > One Fetch Path Behind the Files Page

The Files page now loads through a single consolidated fetch path rather than several refreshes running against each other. List completeness and consistency are markedly better on large accounts, including for files created while the page is still loading and for searches run before loading finishes.

2026.07.13 Menu > A Keyboard Shortcuts Dialog

Press ? or / to see every keyboard shortcut the app supports. The same pass tidied the mobile AI settings controls, the file-list buttons, the microphone labels, the note metadata layout, and adding tags.

2026.07.13 Models > GPT-5.6 Terra in the Model Chip

GPT-5.6 Terra is selectable from the quick model chip under the chat box, alongside the other GPT-5.6 variants.

2026.07.13 Agents > A Project Agent Hands Web Publishing to the Specialist

Ask a project agent to publish something as a web page and it now hands the job to the design specialist agent, which comes back with a URL and a password rather than markup in the chat.

2026.07.31 Desktop > Upload To Sapience From A Finder Right-Click

Right-clicking a file in Windows Explorer and choosing Upload to Sapience sends it straight to your Sapience files. On a Mac, the matching Finder Quick Action did not. It now behaves the same way on both: select one or more files — or a whole folder, which arrives with its structure intact — right-click, and choose Upload to Sapience under Quick Actions, and everything lands in your Desktop Uploads folder in Sapience. The app opens if it is not already running, tells you as each item is queued and if one could not be sent, and asks you to sign in first rather than quietly doing nothing when you are signed out. If you have moved your Sapience folder somewhere else, uploads follow it there. Your original files stay exactly where they were.

2026.07.31 API > Polling a Long-Running Job Tells You to Retry Instead of Saying It Is Gone

Polling a long-running job, or cancelling one, could answer as though the job did not exist or did not belong to you when the real cause was a brief interruption that had nothing to do with the job itself. A client had no way to tell that apart from a job that had genuinely finished and been cleared, so the sensible response — stop polling — meant abandoning work that was still running. Both now answer with a temporarily-unavailable status when the cause is passing, and keep not-found and not-permitted for what they actually mean, so your client can retry a job that is momentarily out of reach and give up only on one that is truly gone.

2026.07.31 Chat > Drag a File Onto a Chat and It Attaches Straight Away

Dragging a file onto a chat attached it to that conversation, but it went through the same upload dialog as everywhere else in Sapience — a destination to choose that a conversation does not use, and a button to press before anything happened. Once it finished the conversation looked exactly as it had before, so there was nothing to tell you it had worked. Dropping files onto a chat now attaches them to that conversation on its own: no dialog, nothing to click, a brief indicator while they upload, and a line in the conversation naming each file once it is attached and ready for the agent to read. Spreadsheets dropped this way are prepared for Code Interpreter, the same as when you attach them with the paperclip, and anything too large or of a type Sapience does not accept is refused straight away with a note in the conversation rather than after a long upload. Drop a folder onto a chat and its files are attached one by one, since a conversation holds files rather than a folder tree. Dropping anywhere else is unchanged — the upload dialog still opens with your files already staged and the destination already set to wherever you are.

2026.07.29 Agents > A US Tax And Accounting Specialist Joins the AI Store

The AI Store now carries a US tax and accounting specialist alongside the Australian one; install it from the Store to add it to your agents. It answers on federal tax for individuals and businesses, IRS practice and procedure, state and local tax — economic and physical nexus, P.L. 86-272, apportionment, pass-through entity taxes, with deep profiles for ten states and a way of pointing you at the right questions for the rest — and US GAAP, including the ASC 740 bridge between your accounts and your tax return. It works from the authority a practitioner would actually rely on, citing the Internal Revenue Code, Treasury Regulations, revenue rulings and procedures, case law and the accounting standards down to the paragraph, and it is explicit about where each source sits: an IRS publication is treated as helpful guidance rather than something you can lean on in a penalty defence, and a private letter ruling written for someone else is not authority you can rely on. Figures that reset every year are handled by naming the tax year and the document series the number comes from and telling you to check the current one, rather than quoting a number that quietly goes stale. Before it answers it sets out what it actually knows about your situation, which assumptions it is making and what conclusion changes if an assumption is wrong, and the facts it still needs — so an answer never sounds more certain than the facts underneath it.

2026.07.29 Views > Act on Several Tasks at Once

Working through a list of tasks meant opening each one, changing a single field and closing it again, over and over. Every row in a task view now carries a checkbox: tick as many as you like and a bar appears above the list offering Delete, Set status and Change due date, each acting on the whole selection in one go. Status lists the six states in the order work actually moves through them, and a due date can be set on the whole selection or cleared from it. The rows update in place the moment the change lands, so a view holding several hundred tasks does not reload and you keep your place, and anything that could not be changed is named individually with the reason rather than folded into a count. The same bar is in a project's Goals & Tasks tab, where it appears only while everything you have ticked is a task — tick a goal as well and it steps aside.

2026.07.29 Views > Open a View Full Screen

A view's list can now fill the window. Click the expand control in the view header and the list opens full screen with your search text, sorting, column widths and current selection carried across exactly as they were — it is the same list you were already looking at rather than a fresh copy of it, so nothing you had set up is lost on the way in or on the way back out. Click again to return it to the page. The Refresh link in the same header is now an icon with a tooltip, matching the other controls on that row and leaving more room for the view's name.

2026.07.29 Views > All My Tasks > UX Improvements

Sorting a view by Priority did nothing, and opening the filter menu on that column offered nothing you could pick. Priority now sorts by how urgent and important a task actually is, so ordering by it puts the work that matters most at the top, and its filter menu lists the five levels — Very High, High, Medium, Low and Very Low — to choose from. The Project, Owner and Size columns behave the same way now: sorting, filtering, searching and Excel export all work on the value you can see in the cell, so Size orders by actual file size rather than alphabetically. The count beneath the list read "Showing 127 of 639 rows", where the larger number counted everything fetched before the view's own rules were applied and was nothing you could act on; it now reads "Showing 127 rows" and follows along as you narrow the list with the search box or a column filter. Columns a view starts with hidden — Assignee on task views among them — can now be switched on from the column chooser, and a column with no fixed width no longer collapses to nothing on a narrow screen.

2026.07.28 Meetings > A Meeting With No Speech Says So

When a recording captured no speech at all — nobody joined, or everyone stayed on mute — the note that arrived afterwards was blank, and there was nothing in it to tell you why. Sapience now treats a recording with no speech in it as its own outcome: the note is written as usual and says plainly that no speech was captured, so a meeting with nothing to summarise is easy to tell apart from one you still need to chase. Meetings that did capture speech are summarised exactly as before.

2026.07.28 Files > Images In More Formats Are Described

Sapience reads the images in your files and writes a description of each one, so a chart or a diagram inside a report is searchable and available to your agents alongside the text. Only a handful of image formats were covered, and anything outside that set was passed over without a description — a bitmap dropped into a slide deck, or a scanned PDF whose pages are stored as JPEG 2000, came back with nothing. Sapience now converts these formats behind the scenes so they get described like any other image: bitmap and TIFF files you upload directly, and the JPEG 2000 images that scanners and design tools routinely embed in PDFs. An image in a format that genuinely cannot be read is skipped on its own, leaving the rest of the document fully described.

2026.07.28 Chat > Saving a Chat to Notes Keeps the Answer, Not the Reasoning

Reasoning models narrate their thinking while they work, and that narration is meant to be a live view of the model at work rather than part of the answer. Saving a single message to a note, saving a whole conversation to notes, and reopening a conversation you had left running all now keep the answer and leave the reasoning behind, matching what Copy message already did. Nothing changes while an answer is being written: the reasoning still streams in and still folds away behind the Thinking control, so you can read it in the moment without it following you into your notes.

2026.07.28 Chat > Sending a Message Falls Back When the Live Connection Is Not Up

Sapience can carry a long-running turn over a live connection rather than a standard request, which is what lets you leave an agent working and come back to it. If that connection had gone down, a message sent over it could sit waiting for a reply that was never coming. Sapience now confirms the connection is genuinely up before it uses it, and takes the standard path when it is not, so a turn either goes over the live connection or falls back cleanly rather than waiting.

2026.07.28 Skills > A Skill That Sets Its Own Response Mode Now Applies It for the Whole Turn

Some skills set the response mode they want to be answered in, overriding whatever you have picked in the Thinking menu. That override reached part of the turn and not the rest, so a skill asking for a longer, more considered answer could be sent one way and answered another. The mode a turn runs in is now decided once, up front, and every part of the turn uses that same answer.

2026.07.28 Projects > Goal Assignments and Completions Send an Email

Handing someone a goal recorded the assignment but told them nothing, so the person who had been given it had to notice for themselves. Assigning a goal now emails the person it went to, naming the goal, who assigned it, and the project it belongs to, with a link that opens that project. Completing a goal tells the people with a stake in it — whoever created it, whoever it was assigned to, and the project owner — one email each, and never one to the person who just completed it. Reassigning a goal notifies only the new assignee, and the quiet cases stay quiet: assigning a goal to yourself, clearing an assignee, or handing a goal to an agent sends nothing at all.

2026.07.27 Mobile > Install Sapience on Your Phone or Tablet

Using Sapience on a phone meant opening a browser, finding the right tab and typing an address every time. Sapience can now be installed to a phone or tablet home screen as a standalone app — its own icon, a full-screen window with no browser bar, and a place in the app switcher, with nothing to download from an app store. Open Menu > Apps, which now holds three entries — Desktop Apps, iPad & Android Tablet, and Phone — and pick the device you want it on. The panel works out the exact browser and device you are holding and shows only the steps that apply to it: Safari, Chrome, Edge and Firefox on the same iPhone each reach Add to Home Screen by a different route, and an iPad that reports itself as a desktop Mac is recognised as an iPad. On Android, Chromium browsers get a real Install button, with the written steps kept underneath it because a browser will not offer its own prompt a second time. From the Phone panel you can also text yourself a link: pick your country, type your number the way you would write it locally, and opening that message on the phone brings up the same walkthrough — detected for the phone this time, and working before you have signed in there. The installed app is always named Sapience and opens at the sign-in page.

2026.07.27 Connected Apps > The Dashboard Panel Loads in Seconds, and Tells You When It Can't

The Connected Apps panel on your dashboard confirms each app you have linked is still connected, and it worked through them one at a time — so the more apps you had connected, the longer you sat watching the spinner, and with ten of them it could take most of a minute. Every check now runs at once, so the panel fills in roughly as fast as a single check takes no matter how many apps you have. And if the checks cannot be completed, the panel now says your connected apps could not be loaded and keeps the Manage link available so you can open the connection manager, instead of leaving you with a spinner that never resolves.

2026.07.26 Chat > Reasoning Folds Away Until You Want to Read It

Reasoning models narrate their thinking as they work, and that narration arrived as a run of “💭” lines stacked above the reply — on a turn with several tool calls it could bury the answer you were waiting for. Each stretch of reasoning now folds into one small Thinking… control with an underlined (view) link: click it to read the reasoning, click again to fold it away. It stays folded on its own, so the conversation never jumps around while an answer is being written, and it shimmers gently while the model is still thinking so you can tell live reasoning from a stretch that has finished. Tool activity stays visible in place, with one control per stretch of reasoning between the tool lines, so you can still follow what the agent is doing and in what order. As before, reasoning is shown only while the answer is being written — a saved conversation keeps the answer itself.

2026.07.26 Chat > Focus Mode Clears the Screen for Reading

Settling in with a long answer meant two separate clicks in two different places — collapse the sidebar in one corner, hide the agent description in another — and nothing tied the two together. A single Focus Mode link now sits in the chat header beside About: click it and the sidebar drops to its icon rail and the agent description disappears in one action, handing the answer the width of the window. The link then reads Full UI Mode and puts both back. Everything you actually use while reading stays where it was — the conversation bar with Updated, refresh and Actions is untouched, and so are the header buttons. Focus Mode belongs to the conversation you switched it on in, so opening another chat or moving elsewhere in Sapience returns you to the full layout on its own and you are never left wondering where your sidebar went. The separate More and Less link that used to hide the description by itself is replaced by this one control.

2026.07.26 Settings > Arrange Your Dashboard the Way You Work

Your dashboard is made up of six modules — Favorites, Agent Work, Recent Meetings, Recent Projects, My Tasks, and Recent Files & Notes — and until now every account saw the same ones in the same order. You can now hide the modules you don't use and drag the rest into the order you actually work in, either from the Customize Dashboard link at the bottom of the dashboard or from Menu > Settings > Advanced. Each module has a checkbox and a six-dot drag handle, with up and down arrows if you would rather not drag, and hidden modules stay listed so you can turn them back on. Your layout is saved to your account rather than to the browser you happen to be using, so it follows you to every device you sign in from, and modules added to Sapience later still appear in their intended position without disturbing anything you have hidden. This applies to the dashboard on web and desktop; the mobile dashboard keeps its own layout.

2026.07.25

Agents > Supported Models > Anthropic Claude Opus 5

Anthropic's newest and deepest-reasoning model is selectable in the chat model picker, the create-agent wizard, Advanced options, and the AI Store model browser. It carries a 1M-token context window and reads images. Opus 5 runs adaptive thinking by default — it reasons before it answers — so a hard question takes a little longer to start replying and comes back more considered.

Agents > Ask a Note to Put Its Action Items Into a Project

Open a meeting note, ask for its action items to be added to one of your projects, and you used to be told to do it yourself — go to the project and copy each line across by hand. The note now hands the work to that project's own agent, which creates the tasks for you: one per action item, wording preserved, each landing as "needs review" so you can check them before they count. It works the same way from a file or a folder. Because the project's own agent does the writing, the tasks follow that project's rules and are attributed to it, and items are taken only from what is actually in the document — if it has none, the agent tells you so.

Sharing > Share And Task Notification Emails Tell You What Was Shared

Share a file or a project with someone, or assign them a task, and they get an email about it. The subject names the thing and the person rather than reading as a generic line — "Ken shared the project “Q3 Planning” with you" — and the email links straight to the item: a project opens on its own page, a shared file opens its info card. Project-share emails also say how many files came with the project. Sharing a project sends a single email about the project, not one for every file inside it.

Agents > Every Tool Call an Agent Makes Is Recorded

A conversation recorded which files an agent searched, but not the rest of the work behind an answer — the tools it reached for to get there went unrecorded once the turn was over. Every function and connected-app tool call an agent makes is now written to the conversation record as the turn happens: which tool, in what order, which calls the model issued together in a single round-trip rather than one after another, a short truncated preview of the arguments, and the size of what came back. The per-conversation effort count now reflects the real number of calls, so you can see exactly how an answer was reached — including whether the model worked through its tools one at a time or fired several of them in parallel.

Chat > Watch the Model Think While It Works

Ask a reasoning model something hard and there used to be a silent gap — often five to thirty seconds — between sending and the first word of the answer. The model's own reasoning now reaches you as it happens, line by line, each line marked “💭 Thinking:”, so you can read what it is working through instead of watching a still screen. It works across the models that reason, including OpenAI Sol and Terra, Anthropic Opus and Sonnet, and Meta Muse Spark, and on both live chat and the long-running agent runs you come back to later. Thinking is shown only while the answer is being written — the saved conversation keeps the answer itself, not the reasoning that led to it.

Files > Drag Files or a Whole Folder Anywhere in the App to Upload

Uploading used to mean finding the upload button, then browsing, then picking. You can now drag files straight from Windows Explorer or Mac Finder filesystem windows onto the Sapience window — anywhere in the app, whatever page you are on — and the upload dialog opens with your files already staged. Drop a folder and it uploads as a real nested tree, with sub-folders recreated as you have them on disk. The destination follows you: drop while you are inside a folder or a project and that is where it lands, and drop while you are in a chat and the files attach to that conversation instead. Existing drop targets keep their own behaviour, so dragging onto an already-open upload dialog still goes to that dialog.

Agents > Accounting & Tax > Australian Tax & Accounting Agent

A practitioner-grade Australian tax and accounting expert joins the AI Store, opening a new Tax & Accounting category. It covers both halves of the discipline — tax (income tax, CGT, GST, FBT, Division 7A, trusts, superannuation) and Australian-GAAP financial reporting (AASB standards, Tier 1/Tier 2, tax-effect accounting) — for businesses and individuals alike. It establishes your taxpayer context first, works down the real authority hierarchy from legislation to ATO rulings, and verifies current-year rates with live web research rather than trusting memorized figures, since thresholds change every 1 July. It provides research, not tax advice — and says so, pointing you to a registered tax agent when a decision needs one.

Agents > Ask an Agent for Deep Research, and Get a Report You Can Keep

Ask an agent for deep/serious web research and it can now run a deep, multi-source investigation instead of a quick search — reading widely and working the question before it answers. You get the findings in the conversation as usual, and the agent also files the full write-up as a formatted report in your workspace, in a dated deep-research folder, so the long version is there to reopen, keep, and share rather than living only in the chat. Deep research reads much more broadly than an ordinary lookup, so it takes longer — it is meant for the questions that are worth the wait.

2026.07.23

Agents > M&A - Private Equity > Due Diligence Agent

A senior M&A due-diligence practitioner joins the AI Store, opening the new M&A category. Point it at a target or a data room and it runs a structured, multi-workstream diligence process — financial and quality of earnings, legal, tax, commercial, operational, IT and cyber, HR, IP, ESG — surfaces and risk-scores red flags, and turns findings into decision-grade deliverables: DD summary memos, red-flag reports, exception logs, and document request lists. It tailors the whole process to the deal, whether you are a strategic acquirer, a PE buyer, or working a carve-out or cross-border transaction.

Agents > Legal > Contract Review Agent

A contract-review expert joins the Legal category in the AI Store, alongside the Legal Research Assistant. It reviews, redlines, and risk-assesses commercial contracts — MSAs, SaaS and software agreements, NDAs, employment, supply, leases, licensing — clause family by clause family, and produces a decision-grade issues list with High, Medium, and Low severity ratings. Before reviewing, it establishes the governing jurisdiction and which side of the deal you are on, then frames the review around your objectives, risk appetite, and deal-breakers.

2026.07.12

Agents > Supported Models > Meta Muse Spark 1.1

Meta's new agentic model is selectable in the model picker. It speaks Meta's OpenAI-compatible Responses API natively — the same streaming path Sapience already uses — so it rides the existing pipeline rather than a proxy. 1M-token context, served without history compaction.

2026.07.11 Models > OpenAI GPT-5.6 — Luna, Terra & Sol

OpenAI's GPT-5.6 generation lands the day it shipped, across three tiers: Terra (the daily workhorse, now the model behind the front-door Sapience Agent), Sol (frontier reasoning), and Luna (fast and cheap). All three carry a 1.05M-token context window. Sol is reserved for licensed users; everyone else is transparently served Terra.

2026.07.11 Voice > OpenAI Realtime Voice 2.1

The realtime voice model moves to gpt-realtime-2.1, selectable under Voice Settings — smarter, though less chatty than its predecessor. OpenAI retired the 2.0 model id on July 6, so anyone who had opted into the previous version is migrated automatically.

2026.07.11 Connected Apps > Google Docs, Microsoft Excel & Microsoft Teams — and Google Drive Goes Full-Featured

Three new apps you can connect, and Google Drive graduates from a token integration to the full surface — agents can browse, read, and act on Drive content on your behalf.

2026.07.11 Desktop > Quick Chat Opens In Its Own Window

Quick Chat used to take over whatever you had open. It now opens in its own focused window, and defaults to the main Sapience agent instead of whichever agent you last used.

2026.07.10 Models > Anthropic Fable 5 (Enterprise)

Fable 5, currently the strongest model available, appears in the chat model selector as an Enterprise entry.

2026.07.10 Connected Apps > HubSpot

Agents can search, create, and update HubSpot contacts, deals, notes, and tasks on your behalf.

2026.07.10 Files > Images Inside Files and Notes Are Understood

Screenshots pasted into a note and diagrams embedded in a PDF, Word, PowerPoint, or Excel file used to be invisible to the system — search and summaries simply skipped them. They are now automatically described on ingest, so both finally see them.

2026.07.10 Agents > Effort Is Recorded Per Conversation

Conversations now record how many steps and tool calls the agent used to reach its answer, so you can see how hard a given turn actually worked.

2026.07.10 Desktop > Updates Install Themselves

Desktop updates previously meant a three-click installer wizard, which most people skipped — leaving stale versions in the field. Updates now download in the background, install silently, and relaunch.

2026.07.09 Skills > Financial Models

New skill: builds a genuine Excel workbook with DCF, sensitivity, scenario, and Monte Carlo analyses — not a table rendered in chat. Also re-pointed to the Daytona sandbox, which removed the minutes-long hangs it used to suffer.

2026.07.09 Skills > Strategy Advisor, PRD Writer, Editor & Email Drafter

Four new expert skills. Strategy Advisor applies established frameworks (SWOT, Porter's Five Forces, matrices) to a strategic question; PRD Writer interviews you first, then publishes a rigorous, testable Product Requirements Document as a report; Editor refines existing text while preserving your voice; Email Drafter writes targeted messages and can send them straight to your inbox.

2026.07.09 Skills > Enterprise-Only Skills

A skill can now be flagged Enterprise-only. Everyone can still see it and read what it does — using it on a lower plan shows an upgrade prompt rather than hiding the skill entirely.

2026.07.09 Agents > Coding Sandbox On By Default, Plus a Fast Python Tool

The full run-code-like-a-developer sandbox is now enabled for every agent rather than opt-in, and a new lightweight Python tool handles quick jobs (crunching a CSV, say) without paying for the heavyweight sandbox spin-up.

2026.07.09 Connected Apps > No More False "Connection Failed"

Connecting Google Sheets and its siblings flashed a red error even when the connection had succeeded. Fixed.

2026.07.08 Skills > Deep Research & Data Storytelling — Now Global

Two skills promoted to everyone. Deep Research investigates a topic across many independent, credible sources and publishes a synthesized, fully cited report; Data Storytelling turns raw data into a narrative with the key insights up front.

2026.07.08 Skills > Reorganized Skill Picker

The skill list had grown into one long flat scroll. Skills are now grouped by category behind a fly-out menu, with type-to-filter search.

2026.07.08 Skills > Skills Can Set Response Depth For a Turn

A skill can now raise the response depth for the single message it runs on — Deep Research, for example, answers in detailed long-form mode for that turn — without you touching any settings or having the change persist.

2026.07.08 Organizations > Skill Instructions Are Protected

End users can invoke a shared or global skill but can no longer read or copy the underlying prompt that drives it.

2026.07.08 Projects > "Task" and "Meeting" in the Global New Menu

Add a task to any project, or start a meeting, from anywhere in the app rather than only from inside the project.

2026.07.08 Voice > Push-to-Talk in Chat

Hold Alt, speak, release — your words appear in the chat composer.

2026.07.08 Voice > Instant Desktop Dictation

Alt+D used to upload and save a recording before giving you text. It now transcribes on the spot, cutting seconds off every single use.

2026.07.08 Files > File Version on the Info Card

The file info card now shows which version you're looking at.

2026.07.07 Chat > Clickable Citation Pills

Web-research citations rendered as raw reference markers. They are now clickable footnote pills that take you to the source.

2026.07.07 Organizations > Per-Org "No Global Content"

An organization can now hide every global agent and skill and curate its own set instead of inheriting the platform catalogue.

2026.07.07 Notes > Desktop Spell-Check Suggestions

Right-click a squiggle in a note on the desktop app to get correction suggestions.

2026.07.07 Notes > Summarize Works on Every Note

Notes containing pasted screenshots or audio clips could fail to summarize — and in some cases crash the chat. Both fixed.

2026.07.07 Projects > Templates That Actually Share

Global templates are now visible to everyone and org templates to the whole org, and "Save as Template" no longer fails outright on a project that contains files.

2026.07.07 API > SRM Summarize

Summarize-and-persist, for any resource kind, through the polymorphic Sapience Resource Manager API.

2026.07.07 API > SRM Tree

One call now returns your whole resource tree — or any subtree — across files, folders, notes, and projects uniformly. The web app's file views read through it.

2026.07.07 Agents > Agent List Polish

Scope badges show whether an agent is personal, org-wide, or global; the refresh button genuinely refreshes; tooltips render properly.

2026.07.07 Menu > Announcement Banner & Announcement Emails

Sapience can now post an in-app banner and send a platform-wide announcement email — used for these very release notes, and for the Tips series.

2026.07.06 Email > Sapience Email Now Sends From sapiencehq.com

Many enterprise mail filters treat .ai domains with suspicion, so agent and notification email now sends from a .com address for better deliverability.

2026.07.06 Agents > One-Click Chat With Any Project

The New Chat browser gains a "Projects" section that drops you straight into a full-screen chat with that project's agent.

2026.07.06 Sharing > Share Modal Upgrades

An access-level column, a "Revoke Access" action on the Users list, clearer errors, and sharing details that survive a refresh.

2026.07.06 Notes > Resizable Images, Edit Note & a Mobile Card Menu

Images in notes can be resized, an "Edit Note" quick action was added, and note cards finally get a proper menu on mobile.

2026.07.06 Projects > "Back to Project" Returns You to the Tab You Left

It used to dump you on the default tab regardless of where you came from.

2026.07.05 Agents > Agents Can Email Your Teammates

An agent could previously only email you. It can now look up people in your organization and — with your explicit OK — send them an email.

2026.07.05 Skills > Skills Can Require Plan Mode

A skill author can declare that a skill always begins with a reviewable plan you approve before any work starts.

2026.07.05 Chat > Long-Conversation Reliability

In very long chats the agent could "forget" which skills and connected apps it had available; those are now preserved for the life of the conversation. Separately, attaching large files could eventually break a conversation outright. Both fixed.

2026.07.05 Sharing > Files Linked Inside a Shared Note Now Open

A note you shared could reference a file the recipient couldn't open. The link now resolves for everyone you shared the note with.

2026.07.05 Accounts > The App Is Also Reachable at sapiencehq.com

An alternate host for users whose company network blocks .ai domains.

2026.07.04 Files > Upload an Entire Folder Into a Project

Folder upload is available from the "+ Add" menu inside a project — the whole tree in one action.

2026.07.04 Voice > Voice Polish

The desktop voice agent no longer goes silent after its first use, greetings are shorter and session-aware, and it finally pronounces "Sapience" correctly.

2026.07.03 Voice > Relay Fallback on Locked-Down Networks

Corporate firewalls that block the direct peer-to-peer path used to kill realtime voice outright. Voice now falls back to a relay connection automatically, with a small notice when it happens.

2026.07.03 Chat > Conversation Export Fixes

PDF and Word exports could hang, and exporting an empty conversation errored. Both fixed.

2026.07.02 Chat > Conversations Name and Summarize Themselves

New chats get an automatic name and summary. Older conversations still showing "No AI Generated Summary yet" are healed in the background.

2026.07.02 Chat > Project Agents Remember Prior Conversations

A project's agent now surfaces what you — and your collaborators — previously discussed with it, and can pull up a past conversation when it's relevant.

2026.07.02 Files > JSON Tree Preview

JSON files preview as a collapsible tree with search, expand/collapse-all, and hover-to-copy, instead of a wall of raw text.

2026.07.02 Files > Faster File Browser

The file browser took tens of seconds to load on accounts with many shared files; it now loads in seconds. Uploads also no longer block on the AI summary finishing.

2026.07.01 Notes > Fullscreen Toggle & Copyable Note ID

Both added to the note viewer.

2026.06.30 Files > Right-Click Download for Folders — Notes Included

Downloading a folder now produces a zip that mirrors your folder tree instead of dumping every file flat, and notes come along with the files rather than being silently skipped.

2026.06.29 Models > GLM-5.2

Zhipu's GLM-5.2 is selectable in the chat model chip and the create-agent wizard, routed to the fastest available provider. Hosted in the US.

2026.06.29 Notes > Notes With Embedded Images No Longer Crash Chat

A note holding large pasted screenshots could overflow the model's context and take down the chat or summarize request. The content is now safely trimmed, and new images are auto-captioned so the agent can still describe them.

2026.06.29 Files > Instant Tree Updates on Delete and Move

Deleting or moving a file showed the old state for a few seconds. The tree now updates immediately.

2026.06.28 Files > Unified Delete Across Mixed Selections

One delete action now cleanly handles a mixed selection of files, notes, folders, and projects, and notifies owners when someone else removes their content.

2026.06.28 Files > "Move…" on Right-Click, With an Escape Hatch

The Move picker moved onto the right-click menu for files and folders, handles mixed multi-selections including into a project, and gained a "Show all projects & folders" link so you can reach any destination — not just the one you're scoped to.

2026.06.28 API > SRM Delete

Polymorphic cascading delete across the Sapience Resource Manager, with a clear protocol for content you don't own.

2026.06.28 Desktop > Auto-Update Jumps Straight to the Latest Version

A long-running desktop session used to install one version per restart, walking slowly up the release history. It now jumps directly to the newest release.

2026.06.27 Projects > "Remove From Project" vs Delete

A project admin who doesn't own an item can now remove it from the project rather than being forced to delete it. For items you own, a prompt asks whether to move it out or delete it — and the owner is emailed when someone else removes their file (it moves safely to their root; nothing is destroyed).

2026.06.27 Files > Move and Copy to the Top Level

Files, folders, notes, and projects can be moved or copied straight to your root instead of always requiring a destination folder. Failed moves now show the real reason.

2026.06.27 API > SRM Move & Copy

Move or copy any resource kind — file, folder, note, task, goal, project — in batches, including to root, through one polymorphic API.

2026.06.27 Agents > Faster Scratch Files

Agents save and edit their mid-task working files (notes, plans, drafts) without a cloud-storage round trip, which noticeably speeds up multi-step and multi-agent runs.

2026.06.27 Models > The Sapience Agent (Claude) Moves to Sonnet 4.6

The main Claude-backed agent now answers on Sonnet rather than Opus, for markedly faster first replies. Plan Mode still escalates to the deeper Opus model to build the plan.

2026.06.26 Agents > Agents Can Save Any Text File Type

Agent file-saving was limited to a short list. It now covers .json, .py, .yaml, .sql and dozens of other text formats.

2026.06.26 Chat > @-Mentioning a Different Agent Actually Switches Who Answers

Picking another agent by @-mention updated the name on screen but kept querying the old agent. It now genuinely switches.

2026.06.26 Chat > No More Blank Agent Replies

If the model returned an empty response you got nothing at all. The conversation now shows an actionable retry message.

2026.06.26 API > Unified Resource Tree

One request now returns everything a user can see — files, folders, notes, tasks, and projects together — with pagination for large accounts.

2026.06.26 Projects > Quick Stats Are Shortcuts

The Members / Files / Notes / Tasks stat boxes on a project's Overview tab are now clickable and jump to the matching tab.

2026.06.26 Accounts > Faster Login on Large Accounts

Login on accounts with many projects and files is significantly quicker — saves are batched and the initial project refresh no longer fires duplicate requests.

2026.06.25 Models > DeepSeek V4 Pro

DeepSeek V4 Pro is selectable in the chat model chip and the create-agent wizard, with accurate cost tracking for its cached-token discount. Hosted in the US.

2026.06.25 Sharing > Revoke Access in One Action

Project sharing gained a "None" permission level that fully revokes a user — their share, their admin rights, and their group membership — in a single action.

2026.06.25 Sharing > Share Links Survive Special Characters

A public share link for a file with an accented character or an em dash in its name returned a server error. Fixed.

2026.06.25 Files > Files Appear at Exactly One Depth

A file inside a project folder also showed up at the project root. Items now display in exactly one place.

2026.06.23 Files > Faithful Office Previews

PowerPoint, Word, and Excel files previewed as a broken text dump. They now render as true-to-format previews with shapes, images, and layout intact.

2026.06.23 Files > Arabic and Other Non-English CSVs Open Correctly in Excel

Agent-created CSVs with non-English text opened garbled. They now open correctly regardless of the machine's language settings.

2026.06.23 Chat > The Attach Picker Reaches Every File and Note

"Choose an item already in Sapience" only listed things filed at your root. It now reaches your full set, including items inside projects.

2026.06.23 Files > Files Show Up Immediately in Project Views

The long-standing "file is missing until I press Refresh" bug is fixed — project file lists, including shared cross-org folders, now update immediately.

2026.06.23 Agents > Plan Mode Stops Under-Selling Itself

While planning, the agent claimed it couldn't generate images or edit files — even though it gains exactly those tools the moment you approve. It now tells you the truth.

2026.06.23 Organizations > Child-Org Users See Inherited Skills Everywhere

Skills shared down from a parent organization appeared in some views but not others. They now show up consistently.

2026.06.22 Skills > Team of Agents

New skill for multi-agent work: the agent proposes a plan for convening a team of your agents, you approve it, and it then coordinates the specialists through a shared workspace.

2026.06.22 Projects > Global Templates Are Visible to Everyone

A project template marked global only appeared for its owner. It now shows up for every user in the New Project wizard and the Templates filter.

2026.06.22 Files > Right-Click Delete Respects Multi-Select

Right-click Delete removed only the row you clicked, ignoring the rest of your selection, and could leave deleted rows on screen. It now acts on the whole selection.

2026.06.22 Files > Editing a File No Longer Kicks It Out of Its Folder

Saving new content to a file could silently relocate it back to your root. Fixed.

2026.06.22 Files > Uploaded and Moved Files Are Always Searchable

Drag-and-drop uploads and large-file uploads into a project didn't reliably become searchable by that project's agent — only one upload path did. All paths now index.

2026.06.21 Notes > Charts and Diagrams Render in Published Notes, PDF, and Word

Diagrams and interactive charts appeared correctly in the editor but broke on export. They now render everywhere a note can go — a public shared page, a PDF, or a Word document.

2026.06.21 Notes > Right-Click Rename and Click-to-Preview

Notes gained right-click Rename, clicking a note opens its preview directly, and editing from the preview keeps you in the preview instead of navigating away.

2026.06.21 Projects > "Save as Template" Works on Projects Containing Files

Saving a project that contained files as a template failed outright with an error. Fixed.

2026.06.20 Files > Files Now Live in Exactly One Place

The file system was rebuilt around a single principle: a file has exactly one home. This closes the whole class of bugs where the same file appeared in several folders at once, ghosted after a move, or showed a path that wasn't real. Every file now reports its true, fully clickable location.

2026.06.20 Files > Move a Whole Folder

Moving a folder into a project now relocates everything inside it — nested subfolders included — and keeps it all searchable by the project's agent. Copying a folder likewise duplicates its full contents rather than a flat list of files.

2026.06.20 Chat > Stop, Edit, Retry, and Bookmark

Stop a response mid-generation, edit and resend an earlier message, regenerate an answer, and bookmark messages for quick navigation. Copy now works on your own messages too.

2026.06.20 Projects > Files & Notes, Together

Every project now opens to one combined Files & Notes grid instead of two separate tabs. The old split tabs remain as an opt-in legacy setting.

2026.06.20 Notes > Drag-and-Drop for Notes

Notes can now be dragged — singly, multi-selected, or mixed with files and folders — rather than only moved through the Actions menu.

2026.06.20 Projects > Promoting Someone to Project Admin No Longer Leaves Them Read-Only

A collaborator promoted to project admin could stay stuck with read-only access despite the label. Role changes are now atomic, so the share record and the admin list can't drift apart.

2026.06.19 Connected Apps > The Agent Offers to Use Your Connected Apps

If you've connected Gmail, Outlook, Notion, Dropbox, LinkedIn, or Google Drive, the agent now proactively suggests them ("Want me to email this summary to your team?") — always asking first, never acting on its own.

2026.06.19 Desktop > Silent Background Auto-Update

The desktop app checks for a new installer every 12 hours, downloads it quietly, and offers a Restart to Update prompt — replacing the three-click installer wizard most people skipped.

2026.06.19 Voice > Web Dictate Shortcut Moves to Ctrl+Shift+D

Alt+D collided with the browser's address bar. Web dictation now binds to Ctrl+Shift+D; the desktop shortcut is unchanged.

2026.06.18 Organizations > Child-Organization Self-Signup

A signup link can now let a new user create their own sub-organization — name plus access code — and become its first admin in one step, alongside the existing join-an-org flow.

2026.06.18 API > Organization Management API

New endpoints to create, update, delete, restore, and clone organizations, and to list an organization's children.

2026.06.18 Files > Right-Click Chat on Files and Folders

Start a conversation about a file or folder straight from its right-click menu, without opening the info card first.

2026.06.17 Agents > Agents Can Move and Copy Files

Agents could create and edit files but not relocate them. They can now move and copy on request, auto-renaming on a name collision.

2026.06.17 Meetings > The Notetaker Asks to Be Let In

The single biggest cause of "my meeting produced no notes" was the bot sitting unnoticed in a waiting room. You now get a push notification, an in-app alert, and an email prompting you to admit it.

2026.06.17 Menu > Global Announcement Banner

A site-wide announcement banner that can be switched on, updated, and switched off instantly without a redeploy.

2026.06.17 Notes > Toolbar and Title Stay Pinned

The note editor's title, description, and toolbar now stay put while only the body scrolls, and short notes fill the editor instead of leaving dead white space.

2026.06.16 Voice > Web Dictate Mode

Desktop-style dictation arrives in the browser: a floating widget listens, transcribes, and drops the text on your clipboard — usable anywhere you can paste.

2026.06.15 Agents > Every Agent Can Revise Files, Not Just Create Them

Agents could write a file but not go back and change it, so "fix the intro of that report" produced a duplicate copy. File editing is now on by default for every agent.

2026.06.15 Chat > Keep Typing While the Agent Works

Messages you send while the agent is mid-answer used to hit a "please wait" block. They now queue and deliver automatically once the turn finishes.

2026.06.15 Organizations > Child Orgs Inherit Parent Agents and Skills

Anything a parent organization marks shareable now shows up automatically for its child organizations.

2026.06.15 Chat > Streaming-Timeout Recovery Actually Recovers

The "switching to long-poll and retrying" path silently deadlocked instead of resubmitting. It now genuinely retries.

2026.06.14 Files > Preview Spreadsheets in the Browser

Built-in preview for .xlsx and .csv files, with search and multi-sheet tabs — no download required.

2026.06.14 Connected Apps > Connected Apps for All Power Users

Connected Apps — the sidebar, the menu, and the chat-input picker — is now available to every power user, not just internal environments.

2026.06.14 Sharing > Share Recipients Can Duplicate a Note

Duplicating a shared note was owner-only. Anyone the note is shared with can now do it.

2026.06.14 Email > Email Attachments Stay in the Attachments Folder

Inbound email attachments could be saved but never actually land in the Email Attachments folder. Fixed.

2026.06.13 Files > Much Faster File Listing on Large Accounts

Loading all files on an account with many shared files went from tens of seconds to seconds, by dropping a slow per-file check. Uploads are quicker too — the AI summary of a new file now runs in the background instead of blocking the upload.

2026.06.13 Agents > A Fast Python Tool for Quick Jobs

A lightweight sandboxed Python tool, available to every agent, handles quick work like crunching a CSV without paying for the full sandbox spin-up.

2026.06.13 Models > Model Selector Under the Chat Box

The curated model list had been hidden behind Advanced for eighteen months and most people never found it. A Model chip now sits beside Thinking and Skills under the chat input, always showing what you're on and switching in one click.

2026.06.13 Chat > Conversation Info Panel

Created and updated dates, message count, owner, agent, sharing, and a copyable conversation ID.

2026.06.13 Accounts > Login and Logout No Longer Hang Forever

A browser tab holding a blocked local database connection could leave you staring at a grey screen indefinitely. Fixed.

2026.06.13 Files > Bulk Actions Act on Your Whole Selection

Bulk Delete, Add to Project, and the Move picker silently skipped notes in a mixed selection. All three now act on everything you selected.

2026.06.13 Voice > Voice No Longer Goes Silent After Its First Use

The desktop voice assistant worked once per session and was muted on every session after. Fixed — and its greeting is now short and session-aware rather than the same long intro every time.

2026.06.12 Files > Unified "Move…" and a Full Breadcrumb

"Move to Folder" and "Add to project" collapse into a single "Move…" that opens one tree picker showing both. The Files breadcrumb now shows the complete path — Root › Project › Folder › Sub-folder — with every crumb clickable.

2026.06.12 Meetings > Meeting Notes Publish Reliably

Meeting processing no longer depends on a live webhook arriving, and a reconciliation pass re-processes any recording whose notes didn't turn up.

2026.06.11 Models > Claude Opus 4.8 and Gemini 3.5 Flash in the Picker

Both were supported by the backend but missing from the chat model-override menu. Now selectable.

2026.06.11 Sharing > Sharing a Large Project Is ~13x Faster

A 90-file project now shares in under 3 seconds instead of roughly 37.

2026.06.11 Files > iPad and iPhone Scrolling, Plus Touch Drag

Virtual scrolling broke on iOS across the Files grid and the Everything view. Fixed — and you can now drag a file onto a folder by touch for the first time.

2026.06.11 Notes > Preview Opens the Full Note Viewer

Previewing a note from the Files view opened a small, limited panel. It now opens the complete viewer in a large modal, with a table of contents, Edit, and Actions.

2026.06.10 Meetings > Upcoming Meetings Show Real Notetaker Status

The upcoming-meetings view reported an internal flag that was almost always wrong. It now shows whether a notetaker bot is genuinely attached to each meeting.

2026.06.09 Files > Bulk Download as a Single Zip

Multi-select files and download them as one zip with a progress modal, instead of a burst of separate browser downloads.

2026.06.09 Meetings > The Notetaker Actually Joins

Notetaker attendance is markedly more reliable: the bot now joins two minutes early to beat waiting-room timeouts, captures its real meeting id, and verifies that it actually attached.

2026.06.08 Chat > Plan Mode Shows a Live Checklist

An approved plan was one blob of text. It now shows typed, ordered steps that tick off in real time as the agent works through them, in a floating panel you can drag.

2026.06.08 Notes > Advanced Diagrams in Notes

Opt in under Settings ▸ Advanced to build and edit note diagrams in a full draw.io editor. Existing diagrams still open in whichever editor created them.

2026.06.08 Connected Apps > OneDrive and HubSpot Connectable; Outlook Gets a Real Connect

Live connectors for OneDrive and HubSpot, and Outlook's placeholder becomes a working Connect button. Enterprise apps are gated on your organization's licence.

2026.06.08 Chat > Very Long Conversations No Longer Fail to Answer

A very long conversation on some models could stop returning a reply, because the automatic summarization step overran that model's output limit. Now handled cleanly.

2026.06.07 Projects > Task and Goal Drag-and-Drop

Select several tasks and drag them onto a goal at once, drag a sub-goal onto another goal to reparent it, or onto empty space to promote it back to a top-level goal — and your expanded tree no longer collapses when you do.

2026.06.06 Projects > Project Group Chat for Everyone

Multiplayer project chat — every member talking to the project's group rather than one-to-one with its agent — is no longer behind a preview setting.

2026.06.06 Chat > Images Aren't Forgotten on Follow-Up Turns

An image you sent could vanish from the model's view on later turns, and non-PNG formats were intermittently not recognized at all. Both fixed. Attached files also no longer disappear when an older conversation is reopened.

2026.06.06 Chat > One Canonical Save-to-PowerPoint

Chat detects a generated slide deck and offers to save it as a PowerPoint file — and the button no longer vanishes if you deselect the skill, switch conversations, or reload. The older agent-side PowerPoint tools were retired in favour of this single flow.

2026.06.06 Organizations > Orgs Can Hide Connected Apps

An organization-level toggle turns the Connected Apps feature off for its users.

2026.06.06 Notes > Notes Render as Formatted Text in Preview

Markdown notes previewed from the Files view showed raw markdown syntax. They now render properly.

2026.06.05 Connected Apps > SharePoint

SharePoint can be connected from the Connected Apps modal and from its own app page.

2026.06.04 Notes > Combine Multiple Notes Into One

Select several notes and merge them into a single new note; the originals are preserved.

2026.06.04 Chat > Attach Anything You Already Own

The chat attach dialog can now inject something already in Sapience — a file, note, task, or goal — as context, rather than only accepting a fresh upload. The picker shows folders, type icons, and sizes, and search reaches every folder.

2026.06.03 Chat > Plan Mode: Approve, Reject, or Talk It Over

When the agent proposes a plan you now get a persistent modal — Approve, Reject, or "Let's chat about this" — plus a floating panel that tracks progress to completion.

2026.06.03 Notes > The Editor Stops Flashing While You Type

The note editor visibly reloaded every time the five-minute auto-save fired. Fixed.

2026.06.02 Connected Apps > Salesforce, HubSpot, SAP, Xero, and Workday

Five new enterprise integrations, the Microsoft apps relabelled, connection status dots in the sidebar, and a connected app's page now shows how to use it plus a Start a chat button instead of the connect-me explainer.

2026.06.02 Voice > OpenAI Realtime Voice 2, and a Voice Agent That Knows You

The realtime voice model is now user-selectable, defaulting to OpenAI's Voice 2 engine — and the assistant knows your name, custom instructions, and greeting no matter where you launch it from: sidebar, dashboard, or global shortcut.

2026.06.02 Chat > Attach Multiple Images to One Message

Send zero, one, or several images to a vision-capable agent in a single turn instead of exactly one — and they now work on every transport, not just streaming.

2026.05.30Agents > Sandbox Builds Real Spreadsheets

The code sandbox now ships the full spreadsheet skill, so an agent can build a genuine, formula-correct Excel workbook end-to-end (validated) and return the file to the conversation — not just render a table in chat.

2026.05.29Agents > Run Code in a Secure Cloud Sandbox

Agents can now provision an isolated cloud computer, write and run real code in it, and return results and files to your conversation. Vendor-neutral under the hood.

2026.05.29Models > Claude Opus 4.8 (same-day support)

Opus 4.8 was added the day it launched (May 28), at the same price and context window as 4.7. It's now the default model for planning.

2026.05.29Email > Agents Can Send Email With Attachments

An agent (and the Report skill) can now email a generated report or file directly to a recipient, with the file attached.

2026.05.28Chat > Plan Mode Is Opt-In Per Request

Previously the model could put itself into plan mode unprompted. Plan mode is now explicitly requested per message, so behavior is predictable.

2026.05.28Desktop > Voice Chat From Anywhere (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+V)

A global shortcut starts a realtime voice conversation from whatever app you're in; Sapience stays hidden in a small popup.

2026.05.28Desktop > One Bad Shortcut No Longer Disables the Rest

A single shortcut conflict used to silently disable every other shortcut. Each shortcut now registers independently.

2026.05.27Desktop > Stay Signed In On Token Expiry

An expired session now silently re-authenticates from your OS credentials instead of bouncing you to the login screen.

2026.05.25Skills > Report Skill (global)

New global Report skill: generates a report that looks right on screen and in print/PDF, shareable behind a password-protected link, and optionally emailed to recipients.

2026.05.25Accounts > First-Class Public Sign-Up

A polished public registration flow: organization validation, passphrase gate, live username-availability check, and clear field-level errors (including the "invalid passphrase" case).

2026.05.24Connected Apps > Canva, Google Sheets & Google Drive

Three new apps you can connect, plus the in-chat chip now names the equipped app (was always "Apps") and surfaces connection errors instead of failing silently.

2026.05.24Chat > Plans That Stick

The agent's plan is saved to the conversation and quietly reinforced each turn, so it doesn't drift off course on long tasks.

2026.05.23Chat > See Plan & See Conversation Summary

Agent messages now carry "See Plan" and "See Conversation Summary" buttons to open exactly what the agent was working from on that turn.

2026.05.22Chat > 30-Minute Conversations (WebSocket Long-Polling)

A new "Use Websockets for long polling" option removes the old ~4-minute cutoff so long agent runs aren't dropped mid-answer.

2026.05.22Files > Agents Can Save New File Versions

An agent can create a v2/v3 of an existing file, preserving its version history.

2026.05.21Models > Google Gemini 3.5 Flash

Fast, low-cost model with a 1M-token context window — now the default for chatting with files and available across the model picker.

2026.05.20Skills > Data Dashboard + Sharper Graphics

New Data Dashboard skill (KPI tiles + interactive responsive charts), the Infographic skill now outputs crisp vector (SVG) graphics by default, and 12 existing skills are now categorized and browsable in the AI Store.

2026.05.20Desktop > Login Survives Updates

The Desktop app no longer wipes your saved login on update, and falls back gracefully when stored credentials can't be read.

2026.05.19Chat > Redesigned Composer

A cleaner, full-width input with quiet chips for Thinking, Skills, Apps, and Advanced, replacing the cramped side column.

2026.05.18Connected Apps > LinkedIn, Outlook & In-Chat App Picker

LinkedIn and Outlook are now connectable (were "coming soon"), and a new picker lets you choose which connected app the agent uses for your next message. Connections now share one managed session, ending "tool name must be unique" failures.

2026.05.18Meetings > Recurring Series, Reconnect & Pagination

Each recurring meeting in a series gets its own notetaker, reconnecting a calendar re-schedules upcoming meetings correctly, and long calendars now page through fully.

2026.05.16Files > Real-Time File List

Files now appear in your list the instant an agent creates one or something is shared with you.

2026.05.16Models > Full Model Catalogue in Chat

Chat Advanced settings now show the complete model list, not just the agent-creation subset; Gemini Flash added to the catalogue.

2026.05.15Files > Chat With a Whole Folder

Right-click a folder for a new info card (details, Rename, Delete) and a "Chat" action that starts a conversation across everything inside the folder.

2026.05.11Menu > Manage Memories at Top Level

Your agent's memories are now reachable from Menu ▸ Manage ▸ Memories, not buried in Settings.

2026.05.08 -- Chat Input > Plan Mode From the Thinking Dropdown

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.

2026.05.08 -- Sapience 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.

2026.05.08 -- 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.

2026.05.07 -- Calendar-Scheduled Meetings > Notetaker Auto-Dispatch

Connecting your Google or Microsoft calendar now reliably auto-dispatches a Sapience notetaker bot to your scheduled meetings, for both Zoom and Microsoft Teams. Previously the underlying webhook was not wired up, so calendar-scheduled bots did not actually fire. The fix has been applied retroactively to all existing connected calendars — no action required.

2026.05.07 -- 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.

2026.05.07 -- Sidebar > 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.

2026.05.06 -- Files > 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>.

2026.05.06 -- Meetings > Recordings 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.

2026.05.06 -- Notes > Filter Dropdown Visible in All Views

The Notes filter dropdown was only rendered in the card view; it's now visible in the list and database views as well, so the same status filter applies regardless of which layout you're using.

2026.05.06 -- 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.

2026.05.06 -- Settings > Top Toolbar

The Settings & Customization modal now has a slate-blue top toolbar with the title, Save, and close buttons — the previous bottom Save/Cancel footer is gone. The Settings & Customization menu also flies out into Agent Settings / Account Profile / Advanced for direct deep links to each tab.

2026.05.05 -- Meet Now > Topic Required

The Meet Now modal now requires you to enter a "Topic of meeting (name)" before submit. The resulting note is named YYYY-MM-DD - <your topic> instead of the generic YYYY-MM-DD - On-Demand Meeting.

2026.05.05 -- Calendar > 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."

2026.05.05 -- Views & Reports > 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.

2026.05.05 -- Meetings > Better 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.

2026.05.05 -- Meetings > Audio Recording On, Video Off by Default

Calendar-scheduled bots now record audio only by default. Video capture is opt-in per user via Settings. Audio is sufficient for transcription and most playback; opting out of video by default reduces storage cost and meeting-bot footprint.

2026.05.05 -- Meetings > Group Chat Flag on Conversations

A new is_group_chat flag persists across reloads, browsers, and shared chat links — fixes a bug where re-opening or sharing a group chat caused the AI to start replying to messages it shouldn't have.

2026.05.04 -- Calendar > 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.

2026.05.04 -- Files > 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.

2026.05.03 -- Files > Date Created and Date Modified Columns

The /#/files grid now shows two date columns: Date Created and Date Modified. Both use smart relative formatting ("Today", "Yesterday", "3 days ago", then dd/mm/yyyy). The previous "Date Modified" column was actually showing the created date — that label/data drift is fixed.

2026.05.03 -- Files > 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.

2026.05.03 -- Meetings > 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.

2026.05.02 -- Meetings > 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.

2026.05.01 -- 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.

2026.04.30 -- 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.

2026.04.30 -- File Info 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.

2026.04.29 -- Views & Reports > Bug Sweep + DevExpress Migration

The Views & Reports runner is now powered by DevExpress DataGrid (filter/search/header-filter popups, virtual scrolling, multi-column sort, column chooser, Excel export). Five user-reported bugs fixed: Recent Activity now uses the dashboard's Activity Feed; Shared With Me uses the real shares list; Projects (tree) uses the existing tree component; task priority renders as a coloured badge instead of raw JSON; views now fill the page width.

2026.04.29 -- Project Conversations > Show Real Owner

The "Created By" column in a project's Conversations tab now shows the real username for the active user's own conversations instead of "Unknown".

2026.04.29 -- 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.

2026.04.29 -- Skills > 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 — visibility was held back while the artifact quality stabilised.

2026.04.28 -- Files > 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.

2026.04.28 -- Meetings > Personalised Bot Name

The Sapience notetaker bot now joins meetings as {first_name}'s Sapience Notetaker (e.g. "Ken's Sapience Notetaker") instead of the generic "Sapience Notetaker", so you can tell which bot is yours when several notetakers from different vendors are in the same call.

2026.04.28 -- Agents > Path-Style Filenames and Create Folder Tool

Agents that produce files can now save them into a nested folder path in one step (e.g. /Reports/2026/Q2/summary.pdf) — Sapience auto-creates any missing intermediate folders. New explicit create_folder agent tool for explicit hierarchy scaffolding.

2026.04.28 -- Views & Reports > 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.

2026.04.28 -- Languages > Hebrew (עברית)

Full Hebrew localization shipped. All UI strings translate to modern Israeli Hebrew, with proper RTL rendering for chat bubbles. Brand and technical terms (Sapience, GPT, Claude, API, etc.) stay in Latin script as in the Arabic pack.

2026.04.28 -- Files > Edit Markdown Files in /#/files

The same "Edit" capability that existed for HTML files now works for Markdown files (.md). The Settings → Advanced flag has been renamed to Preview: Edit Files (HTML, Markdown). New "Overwrite existing file?" checkbox (default ON) — saves replace the original filename and archive previous bytes as .bak.

2026.04.27 -- Mobile > Silent Re-Auth (No Biometric Prompt)

Mobile (iOS / Android Capacitor) now uses true OS secure storage (iOS Keychain Services, Android Keystore + EncryptedSharedPreferences) for silent re-authentication. The previous biometric prompt is gone — credentials are restored silently after the JWT expires, with no Face ID / fingerprint prompt to interrupt you.

2026.04.27 -- Settings > Project Group Chat (Preview)

New "Preview: Project Group Chat" toggle in Settings → Advanced. When enabled, clicking "+ New Conversation" in a project's Conversations tab shows a choice dialog: "Chat with Project Agent" or "Group Chat with Team Members". When off (default), the click goes straight to the project agent, as before.

2026.04.27 -- Project Conversations > "+ 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.

2026.04.26 -- Notes > Insert External Content (Iframely Embeds)

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. Powered by Iframely — supports the full Iframely provider catalog.

2026.04.25 -- Notes > 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.

2026.04.25 -- Notes / Projects > URL-Bound View Switching

The Notes and Projects pages now bind the active view to the URL: /#/notes?view=card, ?view=list, ?view=db (and the same three for projects). Browser back/forward works across views; views are now deep-linkable. The "Show Projects" checkbox state is shared across all three Notes views.

2026.04.24 -- 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.

2026.04.24 -- Menu > 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.

2026.04.18 -- Notes > Public Link Controls

The note view now shows two independent rows: Shared: (for user-to-user and org-wide shares) and Published: (for public web links). Each chip click opens its own modal directly. When a note is published, the row shows a Quasar toggle (ON) plus a one-click Copy URL button. Toggling OFF revokes the public link with a confirmation dialog.

2026.04.18 -- Tasks > Add Related Resource Picker

The Task / Goal "Add Related Resource" affordance now opens a unified picker with Notes / Files / Tasks tabs, multi-select checkboxes, and a "Create new Note related to this {Task|Goal}" first-row option. Click "Link N items" once to attach everything in a single batch — previously each note had to be linked individually.

2026.04.18 -- AI Store > Public Marketing Page

The AI Store is now embeddable on the marketing site at a new public, unauthenticated URL (/#/public/agent-store). Visitors can browse every globally available agent and skill without signing in.

2026.04.18 -- Agents > Claude Opus 4.7 Selectable

Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.7 (released April 16) is now selectable when creating or editing an agent, and as a per-chat model override. The Sapience Agent's default flavor has migrated from Opus 4.6 → 4.7.

2026.04.18 -- Files > Edit HTML From File Preview

With "Preview: Edit Files" enabled, opening an HTML file in the file preview modal now shows an "Edit HTML" button in the header. Saves produce a new sibling file (foo.html → foo-v2.html → foo-v3.html) so the original is preserved.

2026.04.17 -- Menu > Report an Issue

A new "Report an Issue" feature lets you submit a textarea description plus a paste-or-upload screenshot. The report is captured via Sentry with the last 50 console log lines, current route, active agent, and user context attached.

2026.04.17 -- Banner > Opus 4.7 Announcement

A thin announcement strip now appears at the top of the app for one-time announcements (the first one is the Opus 4.7 release). Dismissing it persists per-user-per-browser.

2026.04.17 -- 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.

2026.04.17 -- Agents > 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.

2026.04.16 -- 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.

2026.04.16 -- 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.

2026.04.15 -- Languages > Japanese (日本語)

Full Japanese localization shipped. All UI strings translate to native Japanese; brand names (Sapience, GPT-5.4, Claude Opus 4.7) and technical tokens stay in Latin script.

2026.04.15 -- Languages > Bahasa Melayu

Full Malay (Malaysian Bahasa Melayu) localization shipped — same pattern as the other language packs.

2026.04.15 -- Chat > 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.

2026.04.13 -- Notes > Card View Polish

The /#/notes card view gets a 20px gap between the folders grid and the notes grid; note cards are pinned to a fixed 320px height so varying tag/description lengths no longer leave uneven rows; and every note card now has a hover tooltip showing the full title, description, tags, author, word count, scope, project, and last-updated date.

2026.04.13 -- 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.

2026.04.12 -- Sidebars > Favorites First

Notes, Projects, and Conversation History sidebars now sort favorited items to the top (with their yellow star), then by recency.

2026.04.12 -- Files > 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.

2026.04.12 -- Files / Folders > 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.

2026.04.12 -- Files > 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.

2026.04.12 -- Settings > Auto-Open Editable Notes

A new "Auto-open Editable Notes" setting (cloud-backed, follows you across devices) controls whether editable notes open directly in the editor or in reader mode by default. Read-only / shared / org / global notes always open in reader mode regardless.

2026.04.12 -- 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.

This log was started in March 2026. All prior changes are covered in the monthly release notes archives.
