Changelog
Every meaningful platform change: features, fixes, integrations, pricing, dated and grouped.
Memory and Knowledge Now Follow the Role (2026-08-14)
What an employee remembers, reads and writes is now bounded by the role you gave them. Until now an employee's memory and the knowledge it drew on sat outside the permissions you set. From today they sit inside them. Every read from your knowledge, every fact pulled into an answer, and every note an employee writes back to its own memory is checked against that employee's role first. In practice: an employee only recalls and reuses what its role is allowed to see, and what it learns stays in the part of the workspace it belongs to. Give someone a narrower role and their memory narrows with it, without you moving anything by hand.
Your Employees Can Take You Anywhere (2026-08-13)
Ask where something is and your employee opens it for you instead of explaining the way. Ask how to connect an app, where a file went, or what a task says, and your employee answers the way a colleague would: by opening it. A small card appears under their reply, fills up over a few seconds, and takes you to the page or the exact item. You stay in charge of it. Click the card to go straight away, or press the cross to stay where you are and keep reading. It works for pages like Drive, Tools and Tasks, and for one specific thing: a task, a project, a file, a contact, a teammate.
Mark Up an Image, Send Your Notes Together (2026-08-12)
Pin comments to the exact spots on a picture, then send the whole review with one button. Open an image in Drive and click the part you want changed. A numbered pin appears, and you write your note beside that number. Drag instead of clicking to mark a whole area. Go round the picture marking everything you want changed. Then press Send once. Your employee gets all of it as a single round of feedback, reads every remark before touching anything, and comes back with one revised version that answers all your points. The pins stay on the image, so anyone who opens it later can see what was already raised.
Highlight Text and Comment On It (2026-08-12)
Select any passage in a document and comment on that exact text. The highlight stays on it. Open a file in Drive, drag across the sentence you want changed, and press Comment. Your note lands in the comment section with the passage quoted above it, so you never have to describe which paragraph you meant. The highlight stays on the text. Reopen the file next week and you can see at a glance which parts already have feedback, click a highlight to jump to its comment, or click a comment to jump back to the text. Your employee reads the quoted passage along with your note, so 'make this shorter' now has something to point at. Works on documents, notes, code, spreadsheets and Word files.
Start an Article, Deck, or Flyer (2026-08-12)
Content now creates articles, presentations, and flyers, and each one starts in a card shaped like the thing you are making. Pick Article, Presentation, or Flyer in Content and you get that format on screen: an article page with its cover and headline, a title slide with the deck behind it, or a poster with its main visual and headline. Type the title where the title goes and describe the rest underneath. It stays a short brief, not an editor. Hit Create with AI and your employee picks it up with the title, your description, and the format you asked for, then builds the real file: a document, a PowerPoint deck, or a printable PDF.
Draft Social Posts in Their Final Format (2026-08-12)
Start a social post in Content and you write straight into the real platform card, then your employee finishes it. Choose Create and then Social post in Content, and you land in the post itself: the profile picture, the handle, the reactions underneath, exactly as it will look once it goes out. Switch the platform at the top and the whole card changes with it, including the character budget, so 280 characters on X and 3,000 on LinkedIn are visible while you type rather than discovered later. Write the finished post or just describe what you want, then hit Create with AI. Your employee picks it up in chat with the platform and the length you chose already in hand, writes it properly, and saves it back to Content for review.
Book a Meeting from your Calendar (2026-08-12)
Put a call on your calendar, pick who attends, and your employee joins it without being asked. Getting an employee into a call used to mean catching them at the right moment and handing over the link while it was already running. Now open your calendar, hit Create, and choose Meeting. Paste the Google Meet, Zoom, or Teams link, say when it starts and how long it runs, and pick who attends. The meeting sits on the calendar with everything else you have planned, and when the time comes your employee walks in on its own, takes notes, and speaks when someone says its name. Meetings you were already invited to through your own calendar app show up on the same grid, so you finally see the whole week in one place.
Add Deals and Companies Yourself (2026-08-12)
The create button in your CRM now matches the tab you're on: contact, deal, or company. Your CRM has three views, but only contacts could be added by hand. If you wanted a deal in the pipeline or a company on the list, you had to ask an employee for it. Now the button in the corner follows what you're looking at. On Deals it says New deal and opens a short form for the name, stage, value, close date, and who it belongs to. On Companies it says New company. The record shows up in the pipeline or the list right away, and your employees keep working the same records as before.
Delete Files From Your Drive (2026-08-11)
Remove a file you don't want, get the storage back at once, and change your mind for 14 days. Until now a file could only be emptied, never removed, so old drafts and pictures piled up and kept taking space. Open any file and you'll find Delete beside Download and Share. Pictures, videos, documents, presentations, spreadsheets and anything you uploaded can go. What stays is your employee's own notebook and work logs, which are how they remember what they know and what they did. Those show the button greyed out with the reason, so you never have to guess whether something can be removed.
Act on a Team From Its Dashboard (2026-08-10)
Every part of a team's dashboard now links to the place where you can do something about it. The team dashboard tells you how a team is doing. Now it also tells you where to go. Blocked work links to the task board, the roster links to members and to hiring, the sprint links to the work and to the chat where you change it, and goals and metrics link to your business page. Nothing to hunt for in the tabs.
Open the Detail Behind Any Number (2026-08-10)
Every part of your company overview now links straight to the page that explains it. The overview answers how things are going. Until now it was where the answer stopped. Each part of it carries a small link to the page that holds the whole story: your spend opens credit usage, your activity opens the full log, your connected tools open channels. A new Controls row sits at the bottom showing how the workspace is set up to work, and each tile opens the setting behind it.
Turn Briefs Into Real Decks (2026-08-10)
Your employees can now create detailed, editable presentations from a brief, document, or conversation. Give an employee a topic, a report, or source material and it can now create a complete presentation for you to review. The deck has a clear story, designed slides, structured content, and speaker notes, then arrives as an editable PowerPoint file you can download or continue reviewing in your workspace.
Create and Review Company Content (2026-08-10)
Content gives social drafts a dedicated review space and makes the formats coming next visible. Open Content beside CRM to review saved LinkedIn and X post drafts as platform cards. The workspace also makes the direction visible: articles, books, presentations, and flyers are listed now and will become available there as each editing flow arrives.
Find Work From Anywhere (2026-08-09)
Global Search now finds workspace pages, people, work, files, and CRM contacts from the persistent sidebar. Open Search from any workspace page and jump directly to the page, employee, team, marketplace person, task, project, sprint, Drive file, or CRM contact you need. Results carry their resource type, so similar names stay easy to identify. The page you are viewing now gives useful ranking context without narrowing the result set. Tasks leads with task-related work, Drive leads with files, CRM leads with contacts, and results from the same workspace scope get a preference when matches are otherwise equal.
Control What Your Employee Shares (2026-08-09)
Employees now protect restricted workplace information and can request permission for one specific answer. Your employees keep useful organisation context while treating private, confidential, and role-restricted information with care. When someone asks across one of those boundaries, the employee says it cannot share the detail instead of making up an answer or acting as if it has forgotten. With the requester's agreement, the employee can ask the appropriate workspace member to approve one bounded disclosure. The recipient sees the proposed scope in a notification and can approve or reject it without seeing the requester’s private chat.
Share a single file or contact, not your whole workspace (2026-08-09)
You can now share one Drive file, Drive document, or CRM contact with someone outside your workspace, without giving them access to anything else. Open a Drive file, Drive document, or CRM contact and share it directly with any signed-in Sistava account, including someone in a different workspace. They get a protected offer for that item only and can accept it as a private copy in one of their own workspaces. Revoking your share never deletes a copy they already accepted, and nothing about your workspace becomes visible beyond the item you chose to share.
Share Drive Resources With Your Team (2026-08-08)
Give specific workspace members access to files and choose whether they can view or manage each resource. Drive resources can now be shared deliberately instead of relying on broad workspace visibility. Choose a person, select their access level, and share the file from the Resource Access panel. You can also control general access for the resource, copy an internal link, and remove access later. Sharing stays scoped to your organization, and recipients receive an in-app notification.
Comment on CRM contacts (2026-08-08)
You can now leave comments directly on a CRM contact so notes stay attached to that person. Every contact in your CRM now has its own comment thread. Leave a note on a contact and it stays with that person for good, visible to you and your AI Team lead, instead of getting buried in a task that closes or a chat log that scrolls away.
Request an access review (2026-08-08)
Any non-Owner member of an organisation can now ask every Owner to review their current permissions in one action. If your role or access needs no longer feel right, you can flag it yourself instead of waiting for someone to notice. Sending the request notifies every Owner in the organisation at once, so they can check your current permissions and adjust them if needed. The request itself does not change anything: it is just a signal that puts the decision in front of the people who can act on it.
See Sprint Progress At A Glance (2026-08-07)
Follow your sprint's goal, weekly rhythm, and completed tasks without giving up board space. Your task board and team chats now keep the current sprint visible in one compact view. See the sprint goal, completed-task progress, and where the week stands before you open the details. When you are working without a sprint, the same space shows loose-task progress and gives you a clear way to start one when the work needs a shared goal and end date.
Know When A Schedule Is Saving A Look (2026-08-07)
See whether a schedule is on pace, checking less often because work is quiet, or waiting normally on standby. Schedule cards now make normal quiet-time behavior easy to read at a glance. When an employee has repeatedly found nothing to do, the card says Pacing itself instead of making that healthy efficiency look like a problem. If a faster check matters, choose Use normal cadence. It restores the next check to the cadence you set without changing your schedule, and real schedule problems remain clearly marked separately.
Start A Job Before You Know Every Detail (2026-08-07)
Choose a job from your employee's first card and it now collects the one thing it needs to begin, instead of treating your choice as a dead end. Choosing a job on an employee's first chat card is now treated as a real instruction. If the employee needs one fact to do the work well, such as your website or a short description of who you sell to, it asks for that next and explains what it unlocks. Employees now check what a playbook needs before they commit to it. They can research and draft before asking you to connect a mailbox, and they ask for approval before a paid data pull or anything is sent outside your company.
See Every Employee's Files In One Place (2026-08-06)
Company Drive rolls every employee's Drive into one company-wide view you can browse and search. An employee's own Drive is where its work lands, notebook entries, uploads, transcripts, deliverables. That's useful when you know which employee produced something. Company Drive is for when you don't. It rolls every employee's Drive into one company-wide tab. Browse or search across everything your workforce has produced at once, instead of opening employees one at a time to check what they've made. Nothing moves or duplicates, it's the same files each employee already owns, just visible in one place.
Have An Employee Send From Your Own Inbox (2026-08-06)
Connect your own Gmail or Outlook and an employee sends and replies from your real address, with no sending limit. Every employee already has a free built-in email address it can send and receive from the moment it's hired. That's convenient, but it sends as the employee, not as you, and sending from it is capped by plan. Connect your own Gmail or Outlook instead, and an employee sends and replies from your real inbox, under your name, exactly as if you'd typed the reply yourself. There's no monthly sending cap on a connected inbox, on any plan. Both can be active at once, connect your inbox when you want an employee representing you directly, and keep the built-in address as the free fallback.
Give An Employee Its Own Webhook To Trigger (2026-08-06)
Point an employee at any webhook and it becomes a tool the employee can trigger on its own, mid-task. Point an employee at any outbound webhook, your own automation, a Zapier or Make scenario, an internal service, anything that accepts an HTTP call, and it becomes a tool the employee can use on its own during a task, not something you fire manually from a dashboard. Set it up once with a URL and the shape of the payload it expects. Ask an employee to kick off that webhook once a report is ready, and it fires the call as a normal step in finishing the task, the same way it decides to search the web or send an email.
Get Back Real Files, Not Pasted Text (2026-08-06)
Ask an employee for a spreadsheet, document, deck, or PDF and get back a real downloadable file, included on every plan, Free too. Ask an employee for a budget and get back a real .xlsx with working formulas, not a table pasted into chat you have to rebuild yourself. Ask for a proposal and get a .docx. A deck comes back as a .pptx, a data pull as a .csv, and anything meant to go outside the company as a .pdf. It edits too. Hand an employee a file you already have and ask for a change, and it edits that file in place instead of starting over, so the formatting and content you didn't ask to change stay exactly as they were. It's a built-in employee capability, nothing to connect, and it's included on every plan, including Free.
Your Employee Checks Real Vendors First (2026-08-06)
Ask for a vendor and your AI employee checks a network of real, vetted businesses first, before the open internet, and you can get your own business listed there too. Ask any AI employee to find a bookkeeper, a contractor, or a service provider, and it checks the B2B Marketplace first, a curated network of real, vetted businesses, before it ever searches the open internet. Every listing cleared an actual bar: active on Sistava recently, on the Founder plan or higher, and confirmed as a genuine operating business. Get listed yourself and the network works both ways. Visitors, customers, and other businesses' AI employees can discover and recommend you, and you get notified in the app every time it happens.
Talk to Your Team About the Sprint (2026-08-05)
Open a sprint and leave a comment on it. Your team leader reads it and answers right there. A sprint is the one thing you and your team are both working on all week, and until now there was nowhere to say anything about it. Asking in chat meant explaining which sprint and which goal first. The sprint now carries its own conversation, at the bottom of the sprint panel. Ask whether the goal is still right, push back on it, or ask whether the week is going to land. Your leader gets the sprint and its goal in front of them and replies on the same thread, so the whole exchange stays with the sprint instead of scrolling away in chat.
Sprints, Rebuilt Around One Goal (2026-08-05)
Name a stretch of work, give it a goal, and your team runs it and wraps it up with you. A sprint is now a simple thing: a named stretch of work with one goal you agree together. Your team lead can start one when the work is worth naming, keep it pointed at the right outcome, and close it with an honest account of what landed and what did not. Sprints are optional. Plenty of good weeks are just a board worked in order, and your team will not push you into a sprint you did not ask for. Once a week, if there is something worth deciding, your lead will raise it with you: what the next stretch should aim at, or how the last one went. Goals are editable again, and the dashboard now matches what is actually running.
Fix: Finished On Time Always Showed n/a (2026-08-05)
The Finished on time figure on your company overview sat at n/a even when your team had closed work that week. It now shows the real percentage. The figure only counted work that carried a deadline someone had typed in by hand, and almost nobody types one. So it read n/a for nearly every company, right next to a line saying how much had just been finished. It now measures against the deadline your team was actually working to: the end of the sprint the work sat in. If you did set a date on a specific piece of work, that date still wins. Work that belongs to no sprint and has no date of its own has nothing to be judged against, so it stays out of the figure rather than quietly counting as early.
