Changelog

Live Session app v1.1.17: Pick the project for a call you accept from the popup

Chief now takes you to the project picker when you accept a call popup with an earlier session still open, and stops treating a past session you are only reading as a recording in progress. Windows installs also land in a plain Chief folder.

August 20, 2026

Live Session app v1.1.16: Update Chief on Windows without the dead button

Updating on Windows now works: the permission prompt appears, the install runs, and any failure says what happened. Light mode on Windows also gets the sidebar and top bar colors the Mac build has had.

August 19, 2026

Live Session app v1.1.14: Dark mode reaches the window bar on Windows

Chief in dark mode no longer leaves a white title bar above the app on Windows. The window frame now follows the theme you picked in Chief.

August 19, 2026

Live Session app v1.1.13: Spot unnamed sessions by date and time

Chief on macOS now looks like a Mac app, and unnamed sessions carry the date and time they happened instead of all reading "Untitled session". Windows on ARM64 hardware can install Chief again.

August 18, 2026

Download Chief for Windows and export a session's agent .md

Chief now ships a Windows installer from the same download buttons that served macOS, and a finished live session hands you its agent .md file in one click.

August 18, 2026

Move chats to another project

You can now send one chat or a batch of them into a different project, with their messages and active share links coming along.

August 17, 2026

Run chats on your own OpenAI, Anthropic or OpenRouter key

Organization owners can add their own provider keys, so chats on those providers run on your own account and use no Chief credits.

August 16, 2026

Watch session chats appear for everyone mid-session

Chats started during a live session now show up for the other people in the room and in the web app right away, instead of only after the session wraps.

August 14, 2026

Invite people to a whole organization from the members page

Bring someone into an organization once and they reach every project in it, present and future. You can also pay for any organization you own, even one you don't work in daily.

August 11, 2026

Live Session app v1.1.11: Put your name on your transcript lines

Live transcripts now name the person speaking instead of showing "You" on every device, and you can set the name you appear under from the transcript or from Settings. This build also clears a stray scrollbar that showed up under text fields.

August 11, 2026

Track who changed what on the new Audit page

Organization owners can now see a running record of changes to general, billing, and integration settings, with filters to narrow it down to one area or one person.

August 10, 2026

Live Session app v1.1.10: Pick your transcription language and reopen past sessions

You can now transcribe a session in ten languages or let Chief detect the switch, reopen and chat with any past session from a sidebar that spans every project, and tick a to-do off instead of deleting it. This build also adds private session chats, copy and download on transcript screenshots, and a host handoff the other device has to accept.

August 10, 2026

Connect Google Drive once for your whole organization

An owner can now connect Drive at the Workspace level, including Shared Drives, and choose which drives and folders each project gets.

August 10, 2026

Pick which prompt suggestions the prompt bar shows

Your saved prompts, Chief templates, and improved prompts each have their own switch, so you can keep the ones you use and hide the rest.

August 5, 2026

Live Session app v1.1.9: Ask a question mid-meeting from the session bar

You can now type a question into the live session controls while a meeting runs and get an answer grounded in the brief and transcript so far, plus a one-click Send to Slack on to-dos and decisions. This build also stops a new session from inheriting a previous session's summary or transcript.

August 4, 2026

Pick past email recipients from the suggestions dropdown

Recipient fields in email actions now suggest addresses already used on other actions in the project, so frequent contacts are a click away instead of a retype.

August 3, 2026

Live Session app v1.1.8: Mark up screenshots and hand sessions to any AI agent

You can now draw on a screenshot, an uploaded image, or a blank canvas without leaving a session, and what you drew lands in the transcript at the moment you made it. Invites are two named paths now, Join or Watch, and the context you wrote before recording travels with the file you hand an AI agent.

August 2, 2026

Chat with a finished Live Session from its header

Ask questions about a completed call without copying anything out of it first. The chat opens beside the session and draws on the full record, not just the summary.

July 31, 2026

EnhancementWeb App

Clear a filled prompt bar with one button

A new Clear draft button in the prompt bar wipes whatever is sitting in the composer, including anything Chief put there for you.

July 30, 2026

Live Session app v1.1.7: Point at your screen and say "this page"

Live sessions can now capture what is on your screen so phrases like "this page" resolve to a real page or document, and "Put this session to work" stays in reach from the moment you start recording. The live header also shows the right project when you rejoin a session in progress.

July 29, 2026

EnhancementWeb App

Schedule actions every 10 minutes and see recent runs

Send to coding agent now hands over a complete session file: title, start time, duration, participants, the summary, actions, decisions, and the transcript, plus instructions your agent can follow to pull fresher detail from Chief.

July 28, 2026

Rename, delete, and export past live sessions on the web

Your past live sessions on the web now behave like the rest of your library: rename them, delete them, export transcripts and summaries, switch to a card grid, and start a chat from any highlighted passage.

July 28, 2026

Pick a Deep Intelligence model from the prompt bar dropdown

The intelligence control in the prompt bar now opens a compact dropdown where Deep Intelligence sits under Automatic, with its models listed so you can pin the one you want.

July 27, 2026

Live Session app v1.1.5: Drop images into a live session transcript

You can now paste, drag, or add images into a live session transcript and they stay pinned to the moment in the conversation where you added them, including in copied and downloaded transcripts. This build also fixes tab scrolling in the session dock and clicks on the project breadcrumb.

July 24, 2026

Live Session app v1.1.4: Turn an existing transcript into a full session

You can now upload a transcript file and get back a real Chief session with summary, action items, decisions, topics, and chat, without ever running a live meeting. Imported files also keep their own name instead of a dev label.

July 24, 2026

Invite guests to a live session with a secret link

July 24, 2026

Connect Notion once for your whole organization

Notion now connects at the organization level, and Chief can read, create, and edit Notion pages from chat with your approval on every write.

July 23, 2026

Live Session app v1.1.3: Put the meeting prompt where you'll see it

The start-session prompt now appears at the top center of your screen by default, and you can move it to any of nine spots from Settings. Chat answers in the desktop app also render the fuller set of charts, citations and images you get on the web.

July 22, 2026

See a notification when a chat finishes or billing needs you

Chief now tells you when a background chat is done and alerts org admins about payment failures, plan changes, and credit usage, both in the app and by email.

July 22, 2026

Start a live session from a Notion meeting page

A meeting page in Notion now carries a button that opens the matching live session in Chief, with context prepared beforehand and the summary written back when the call ends.

July 21, 2026

Connect a Slack workspace and use Slack in chat

Chief can now search Slack, read the channels you have access to, and post messages, replies, DMs, and reactions with your approval.

July 20, 2026

Live Session app v1.1.1: Quit with Cmd+Q, and see actions as they run

Cmd+Q now quits Chief for real, a new "Show Chief in menu bar" setting controls the crown and call prompts, and live-session to-do actions show their progress while they work. Call-end detection also stops guessing, so a session pauses when you actually leave the call.

July 11, 2026

Live Session app v1.1.0: Hand a finished session straight to your coding agent

When a live session ends, a card now offers to open it in Chief, copy the summary, or package the transcript as markdown for a coding agent. Transcripts land in a second or two, summary bullets are editable in place, and diagnostics reports confirm they were sent.

July 10, 2026

Paste images, files, and long text into the prompt bar

Screenshots and copied files now attach when you paste them, and a long block of text folds into a pill you can expand.

July 9, 2026

Live Session app v1.0.13: Start a live session without picking a project first

You can start a live session with one click now, and add the context afterwards. If you work across several projects, Chief gives you a moment to switch before the session is filed.

July 8, 2026

Live Session app v1.0.12: Copy text straight out of your transcript

You can now select and copy transcript and summary text, including select-all in whichever panel you're working in. Long sessions also keep recording audio cleanly past the twelve hour mark.

Connect any MCP client to Chief at mcp.chief.bot

Point Claude, Cursor, or any other MCP client at mcp.chief.bot and work with your Chief actions, memories, projects, live sessions, and skills from outside Chief.

July 7, 2026

Live Session app v1.0.11: Keep transcribing through a dropped connection

Live transcription no longer stalls mid-session, and transcript timestamps line up with the session timer. Generated results also open at the top so you read long answers from the start.

July 3, 2026

Pick your go-to mentions from a redesigned @mention menu

Typing @ now opens a compact panel that ranks the closest match first and keeps the things you mention most at the top.

July 2, 2026

Copy a file to several projects at once

The copy dialog now takes more than one destination, so a file lands in every project you pick in a single action.

July 2, 2026

Live Session app v1.0.10: Pause a live session without ending it

You can now pause and resume a live session from the header, open Chief straight to a session from a chief:// link, and pick from several suggested actions on a to-do. Scrolling up during a streaming transcript no longer snaps you back to the bottom.

June 30, 2026

Chat about a live session, its actions, and any highlight

Live session content is now something you can talk to: mention a session in a chat, ask about a single action item, or highlight a passage of the transcript and get an answer grounded in the meeting.

June 30, 2026

Connect Google Workspace to use Gmail and Calendar in chat

Org owners can connect a Google Workspace account once, and anyone in the chosen projects can then ask Chief about their mail, calendar, and contacts, and approve sends and event changes inline.

June 30, 2026

Live Session app v1.0.9: Keep Chief in the menu bar and clear whole batches of summary rows

Chief now stays running in the menu bar after you close the window, with a new Settings window for launch-at-login and quit behavior. Live sessions open cleaner, summary rows can be selected in bulk, and the chat box in transcript view moves out of your way.

June 26, 2026

Live Session app v1.0.8: Create a project without leaving the picker

Chief Live Sessions 1.0.8 lets you create a new project straight from the session picker, and stops highlight and chat from firing on an empty transcript.

June 26, 2026

Live Session app v1.0.6: See who talked and let sessions stop themselves

Chief now ends a live session on its own when the call ends, shows a live You-vs-Them talk-time split in the recording strip, and warns you when this Mac's pairing has been revoked. Bluetooth mics like AirPods transcribe correctly, and to-dos still develop after you stop recording.

June 24, 2026

Set a chat to Project, Restricted, or Private

A pill in the chat header now shows who can see the chat and opens the visibility modal in one click, and the API lets you set visibility, manage a chat's audience, and handle project membership.

June 22, 2026

Live Session app v1.0.5: See "You" and "Them" in your transcripts

Transcripts now label speakers as "You" and "Them" instead of email addresses or numbered speakers, and the welcome and pairing screens read and line up correctly.
