Every meaningful platform change — features, fixes, integrations, pricing — dated and grouped.
Message Your Team on Telegram (2026-06-29)
Your AI employees are now on Telegram. DM one, or add it to a group and mention it. Your AI employees are now on Telegram. Message one directly, or add it to a group and mention it, and it replies right there with the same memory it has in the web app. A conversation you start on Telegram carries on in the web app and back, so your team is always one message away on your phone.
Learn AI With the Academy (2026-06-28)
A free academy with self-paced courses and a certificate when you finish. Sistava Academy is now open. Learn how to work with AI employees from total beginner to confident, in plain English with no coding. Read the self-paced course at your own pace, and earn a certificate of completion at the end. A deeper, more technical course is on the way.
Proven Playbooks for Every Role (2026-06-28)
Every employee now leads with a short set of high-value jobs they run from start to finish. Every employee on your team now comes with a small set of proven playbooks: the highest-value work they can take from start to finish. A sales rep works your pipeline all the way to a close, a marketer runs a full email campaign, an assistant turns a messy inbox into clear drafted replies. Each playbook lays out a plan, does the work, and checks in with you before anything goes out, and you can see at a glance which jobs every employee leads with.
See the Full Report Behind Every Action (2026-06-26)
The Action Inspector now shows whether an action finished, how long it truly took, and whether it had to retry, read live from the engine that runs your team's work. Open any action and the inspector now surfaces its true status and real run time, not an estimate. If an action hit a hiccup and recovered on its own, you can see that too. It is the clearest view yet of exactly what happened when your team did the work, so understanding any single action takes one click, not guesswork.
Track Every Deal on a Pipeline (2026-06-24)
Your CRM now has a deal pipeline, so you can see every opportunity, the stage it is at, and what it is worth, all on one board. Contacts tell you who you know. The pipeline tells you what is in play. Every deal is a card with its value, its close date, and the company behind it, and it sits in a clear stage from the first conversation through to won. Move a deal forward as it progresses and watch your pipeline take shape. It is part of the same CRM, so a deal always stays tied to the person behind it, and your team keeps it current as the work happens.
Your Own CRM, Built In (2026-06-24)
Keep all your contacts, companies, and deals right inside Sistava, and your team keeps it up to date for you. Until now you connected an outside CRM if you had one. Now you have your own, built right in. Keep every person you deal with in one shared place: prospects, leads, and customers, each with their email, phone, role, and company. Search it, sort it, filter it, and export the whole list whenever you want. Your team adds new people as they come up and keeps the details current, so the whole company always works from the same book. It lives right next to the rest of your work, and there is nothing to set up.
Start Any Task on Demand (2026-06-22)
Every task on the board now has a Start now button: click it and the assigned employee gets to work on that task right away. You used to add a task and wait for your employee to pick it up on their own. Now you decide the moment. Hit Start now on any open task, from the board, the list view, or the task's detail panel, and that employee begins working it immediately. Fire off as many as you like: each one goes straight to the person it belongs to.
See Each Day's Work on the Week Strip (2026-06-21)
The week strip above any chat now shows what got done: hover a day for that day's report, and see the running totals for the whole week at a glance. The strip used to just count the days. Now it reads the work itself. Hover any weekday to see that day's report: tasks done and started, conversations, files produced, emails sent and received, tools used, and the total activity broken down by where it came from. On a team leader's chat it rolls up the whole team; on one employee it shows just theirs. Quiet days simply say so.
Read Files Inline, in Chat and Drive (2026-06-21)
Excel, Word, PDF, and CSV files now open as readable content right where they appear, in chat and in the Drive viewer, so you can read a file without downloading it first. Until now, a file your employee produced often showed only a Download button, so checking a quick figure meant pulling it down and opening it in another app. Now files render inline: spreadsheets as a scrollable table sheet by sheet, Word documents and PDFs as the actual pages, data and code as formatted content, both in the chat message and in the Drive file viewer. Download is still there whenever you want the original.
See Your Return (2026-06-20)
Your company dashboard now leads with what the workforce delivered set against what it cost, so the return is the first thing you see. You invested in a workforce, so the dashboard now puts the return up front: the work delivered over your selected window, set directly against the credits it cost, with the cost per task between them. No guessing whether it is paying off. It reads from work already happening, so there is nothing to turn on.
See Everything a Team Is Doing (2026-06-20)
Drill into a team and see what it is working toward, what it shipped, who is on it, and what it costs to run, all with real numbers. The team view used to be mostly empty cards and placeholders. Now it shows the live picture: the team's objectives and how its metrics are tracking, the current sprint with time and task progress, the people on it and their status, the work it actually shipped, what it costs to run, and a Needs Attention panel that surfaces only when an employee is stuck, a task is blocked, or a sprint falls behind, so you know exactly where to step in. The company dashboard stays your high-level control tower, and the team dashboard is the zoom-in. Everything reads live from work already happening, so there is nothing to set up.
Quality Eval on Every Deliverable (2026-06-17)
A quality reviewer now scores the real work your employees produce, so you can tell good output from bad at a glance. Knowing whether an employee did a good job used to mean opening the work and checking it yourself. Now a reviewer scores each deliverable (emails, documents, posts, schedules, tasks, and more) against a quality standard, and the verdict shows up in the activity inspector next to everything else that ran. Everyday back-and-forth chat is never reviewed, so you only grade real output. Turn it on from the AI Evaluation page in Technical settings. It is off by default, and the standards it grades against are visible there.
Spend Fewer Credits on Small Talk (2026-06-17)
Your employees now answer simple turns with a cheaper model on their own, so the same work costs fewer credits. Not every message needs your most expensive model: a quick hello or a short follow-up is cheap work. Credits Saver spots those light turns and routes them to a cheaper model automatically, while real work (planning, research, building, taking action) still runs on the model you chose. On everyday back-and-forth that often means 40 to 50% fewer credits, with no drop in quality where it matters. It is on by default and fully in your hands: turn it off anytime, and see exactly how often it saved you on its own page.
Know Before You Are Charged (2026-06-13)
Your bell now tells you the moment a trial starts, when it is about to end, and the exact day you will be charged. No more guessing where your money stands. When your free trial begins, you get a notification with the date of your first charge and the amount. Before the trial ends, you get a heads-up so a renewal never surprises you. Cancel and you get an instant confirmation showing exactly when your access ends. Payment receipts, failed charges, and plan changes were already covered, so every money event now lands in one place: your notification bell.
Extra Credits on Every Plan (2026-06-12)
Same price, more work. We've raised the monthly credit allowance on every plan, Starter now starts at 20,000 credits a month. Your AI employees can do more every month, at no extra cost. We've increased the included credits across the board. The new allowance applies automatically on your next billing cycle, nothing to do on your end. More room to put your team to work.
Free Trial for the Starter Plan (2026-06-11)
The Starter plan now begins with a 3-day free trial. No charge today, full access from minute one, cancel anytime. Pick the Starter plan, add your card, and your AI employees start working immediately. You are not charged today: your first payment happens only when the 3-day trial ends, and you can cancel at any moment before then and pay nothing. During the trial you get a daily credit allowance so you can put your employees through real work every day. Hit the day's allowance and it refreshes the next day, or upgrade to unlock your full monthly credits right away.
Train Your Employee From 35+ Knowledge Sources (2026-06-11)
Feed your employee knowledge from file uploads, web pages, and connected tools like Google Drive, Notion, Slack, and Zendesk. Everything your company knows can now reach your employee's head through one training pipeline. Upload documents, point at any URL, or connect the tools where your knowledge already lives: drives, wikis, project tools, support desks, CRMs, and code hosts. Training happens in place, with no export and re-upload routine. The Training page shows every source and what was learned from it, and removing a source removes its knowledge with it. Combined with shared knowledge, training one employee teaches the whole team.
Your AI Team Now Works Better Toward Your OKRs (2026-06-11)
Set objectives and key results for your team and they plan sprints around them, then report progress in standups and weekly ceremonies. Brief your team leader on your objectives the way you would brief a human manager: a revenue target, a launch date, quarterly OKRs. The goals live in the team charter and every sprint planning session starts from what moves them. Progress gets reported instead of chased. Standups note what moved, sprint ceremonies close each week against the objectives, and you can ask where any goal stands at any moment and get an answer grounded in the actual work done.
File Organizer Keeps Your Folders Clean (2026-06-11)
Your employee can now tidy folders on your machine: sort downloads, rename files in batches, and file documents where they belong. Through the desktop companion app, your employee organizes files the way an assistant at your keyboard would. It reads what is in a folder, works out what each file is, and moves it where it belongs, following the naming conventions and folder structure you describe in plain language. Everything stays under your control. File access is bounded to your home directory, every move and rename is logged in the activity feed, and anything destructive waits for your approval. Pair it with a schedule and the cleanup runs itself every week.
Data Entry Automation Does the Typing (2026-06-11)
Your employee now moves records between systems for you, filling forms in web and desktop apps and flagging anything ambiguous for review. Orders into the ERP, leads into the CRM, invoices into the accounting tool. Your employee reads records from spreadsheets, exports, emails, or PDFs and enters them into any web or desktop application, even tools with no API. Each field is validated against the source before submission, and records that are incomplete or ambiguous become an exception report instead of a silent mistake. Recurring entry jobs can run on a schedule with the approval gates you choose.
Your Team Runs Your Sprints for You (2026-06-11)
Your team now runs your sprints for you, on a steady weekly rhythm from Monday to Sunday. You stay on the work, not the setup. Every sprint is now a real calendar week, Monday through Sunday, including your very first one. Your team takes care of opening each week, wrapping it up, and rolling into the next one, so you never have to start, stop, or close a sprint by hand. The week follows your workspace's timezone.
Tasks and Drive Counters Update Live (2026-06-11)
The Tasks and Drive counters in the chat header now update the moment your employee creates a task or saves a file, with no refresh needed. Previously the Tasks and Drive shortcuts next to the chat could lag behind reality: tasks created during sprint planning or documents written mid-conversation only showed up after you navigated away and back. Both counters now react in real time. The moment your employee creates a task, completes one, writes a document, logs a journal entry, or uploads a file, the numbers update right where you are. The shortcuts also appear automatically the instant the first item exists.
Version Number Publicly Visible (2026-06-08)
Sistava now shows its version number next to the Beta badge, so you can see which build you're on and match it to what changed here. A small version tag (like v2.0) now sits beside the Beta badge in the top bar, and the same number shows at the top of this changelog. It ticks up every time we ship a meaningful improvement. So when something changes, you can tell: the version moves and the entry explaining it lands right here. No guessing whether you're on the latest.
Choose your AI Model for Images and Video Generation (2026-06-02)
Each image and video tool now has a model picker in its settings, with the per-use credit cost shown next to every engine so you can see what you pay before you pick. Open the Image or Video tool on any employee and you'll find a Model dropdown at the top of its settings. It lists every available engine, cheapest first, with the credit cost shown for each: per image for pictures, per second for video. Whatever you pick becomes the default that employee uses for that tool, so your choice sticks. The employee still has room to use a different engine when a specific request calls for it, but it respects your default the rest of the time. Leave it untouched and it stays on the best balance of price and quality.
Video Generation from Text Prompts (2026-06-01)
Your employees can now create short videos from a prompt, for social clips, ad concepts, and quick demos. Available on Starter and above. Ask an employee to make a video and they will, a short, ready-to-post clip generated from your description and filed straight into your Drive. Pick the shape (landscape or vertical) and the length (4, 6, or 8 seconds), with sound on by default. Video is a premium, pay-as-you-go capability: each clip is billed by the second against your credits, so you only pay for what you make. It's available on the Starter plan and above. Editing your own uploaded footage is coming next.
One-Click Free Waitlist (2026-05-31)
Logged-in users join the Free-plan waitlist with a single tap (no retyping their email), and a hit rate-limit now reads as 'wait a minute' instead of a scary error. The Free plan is paused, so its card collects emails for the next batch. Two improvements: If you are already signed in and browsing the plan picker, the waitlist button now joins you with one tap using your account email. No need to type the address you already gave us. Anonymous visitors on the landing page still leave their email as before. If anyone taps too many times in a minute, the form now says 'Too many tries, wait a minute' instead of the generic 'Something went wrong', which previously read like the feature was broken.
Controlled Free Signup (2026-05-30)
New signups land inside the product but cannot spend until they pick a plan and enter a card. Existing users are untouched. The Free plan is paused. New people can still sign up and look around: marketplace, settings, employees, every page. The product remains open to explore. On the very first page after signup, anyone without a chosen plan lands on the plan picker. Pick a plan, enter a card, and the plan activates right away with no second confirmation. Cost-actions stay blocked until then. Existing free users keep their plan, their credits, and their access exactly as they were.
Your Employee Wakes When You Say Hello (2026-05-28)
New employees now stay quietly asleep until you first message or assign them work, then come alive and settle into a natural working rhythm: checking in often at first, spacing out as things go quiet, resting when there is genuinely nothing to do, and springing back to life the moment you return. A freshly hired employee used to start its background check-ins immediately, even if you never opened the chat. Now it begins asleep and wakes the instant you first reach out or put work on its board. No first message, no work, no wasted cycles. Once awake it follows a natural rhythm. It checks in roughly hourly while you are active and there is momentum, then stretches the gap out (every few hours, then daily) as things go quiet, so it is never busy just to look busy. If a long stretch passes with an empty board and no sign of you, it rests instead of spinning in place. As long as there is real work to do it keeps going, no matter how long you have been away. Coming back is effortless. A single hello, even months later, brings your employee fully back to life, fresh like its first day, and the rhythm starts over.
Old Pings Don't Resurrect a Week Later (2026-05-27)
If you're offline for days, queued delayed emails now drop themselves at delivery time if their content is stale, superseded by a newer message, the underlying decision already made, or simply too old to be relevant. Delayed-mode emails ride a Celery queue between the moment they're created and the moment they're allowed to send. Previously, a heartbeat firing hourly could pile up a queue of pending emails while you were away. Caps would drip them out one per day, landing week-old sprint recaps in your inbox after the sprint had already finished. A staleness gate now runs at the moment of delivery. Before the email leaves it checks three things: is this notification older than 24 hours? Has a newer notification on the same chat thread already arrived? For approval asks, has the underlying request already been resolved (you clicked approve in-app, or the agent cancelled it)? Any 'yes' drops the email silently. You see the latest news, not last week's.
One Open Question Per Chat, Not a Pile (2026-05-27)
When an employee asks you a question, follow-up asks in the same chat are now suppressed until you answer, the sprint review now bundles the recap and approval into one email, and that email finally reads like a personal note from the employee. Three changes, one outcome, fewer, better-shaped pings. First, paraphrased re-asks are now caught: if an employee already has an open question or approval in a chat thread, any rephrased follow-up (e.g. 'What's your preference?' → 'Which tool should I use?') is suppressed until you respond. The agent is told to wait. As a second layer, the normal-priority email cooldown went from 0 to 1 hour. High and critical priorities still ping you immediately. Second, the sprint review used to fire two emails per cycle, a recap message followed minutes later by a separate approval ask. The heartbeat now instructs the team lead to bundle the full review report into the approval ask itself, so a single email carries both what shipped and the proposal for the next sprint. Third, the approval email itself was rewritten to match the proactive-update format: a Gmail-Compose body sent from the employee's personal mailbox, rendering the full markdown body the agent wrote (headings, tables, drive links), with a reply-in-chat link at the bottom. No more branded button-only emails for approvals.
