Changelog

Inbox got a major upgrade. Filters for @mentions, DMs, threads, and unreads let you zero in on what matters. A "mark all as read" button clears everything in one click. Thread replies can now be composed directly from the inbox. Notifications for conversations you're actively viewing are suppressed, and the long-standing hard-refresh bug is fixed.

The P0 Jam user stories are complete. A new thread tab in the fullscreen call sidebar lets users message during live calls. Pre-join device selection allows picking camera, mic, and audio inputs before entering a Jam. Four rounds of UI improvements landed covering design alignment, visibility, and discoverability.

The chat composer now features a formatting toolbar, an emoji picker, and a GIF picker integrated directly into the chat input. Search and send GIFs inline, format text with the toolbar, and quickly insert emojis — making conversations more expressive.

Jams now have full thread support — send and view messages during live calls. After a call ends, the playback view includes a thread tab alongside transcripts and summaries, so nothing gets lost.

Messages now render with full markdown support — code blocks, inline code, bullet lists, ordered lists, and proper formatting. A new Tiptap-based composer supports @mentions for both members and conversations.

Full-stack thread subscription system shipped end-to-end: subscribe/unsubscribe, last-seen tracking, real-time updates, and sidebar UI. Thread and conversation notifications are now mutually exclusive, fixing the long-standing issue of thread replies triggering incorrect channel unread state.

Threads now have a copy button with two formats: a default plain-text copy for pasting into model interfaces like ChatGPT and Claude, and a "copy for agent" format that includes resource IDs so agents can use the Ando API directly.

Jams now fully supports screen sharing with full UI controls and handles multiple participants sharing simultaneously. The post-call transcript pipeline was rebuilt: speaker diarization now happens via live streaming instead of post-processing, and chapters/summaries are generated by LLM calls. Transcripts are indexed for search.

The inbox has been rebuilt to work deterministically — notifications now group and display based on consistent rules rather than LLM preprocessing. This fixes the mismatch between sidebar unread counts and the inbox view, and ensures new events show up in real-time.

Claude can now access GitHub through MCP, enabling richer context for development-related conversations. When Claude is processing a response, users see a "thinking" indicator for better feedback during longer operations. You can also disconnect the Claude integration from workspace settings if needed.

Jams — Ando's native calling with live transcription, screen sharing, and in-thread messaging — got key upgrades. Calls now generate high-quality post-call transcripts, live transcription is more reliable, and multi-participant calls now work correctly.

Download any file shared in chat directly to your device. Downloads show progress toasts with cancel support, and the completion toast lets you jump straight to the file in Finder (or Explorer on Windows). Available from image previews, video previews, and the file context menu.

Jams is live on production. Talk to each other directly in Ando with audio and video calling, full call recording, and live transcription. Transcripts are stored in full, as chapters, and as segments for effective search and downstream context engineering.

New backend APIs give users more control over curated collections. Add messages and items directly to an existing Clipboard without creating a new one, and remove individual items from a Clipboard to clean up without deleting the entire collection.

Search is now a dedicated full-screen experience. Find messages across your workspace with improved relevance powered by ZeroEntropy reranking. Includes clear button, no-results page, and entity rendering in search results.

Conversations without activity in the last 7 days are now automatically grouped in a collapsible "Inactive" section in your sidebar, keeping your active conversations front and center.

Added heartbeats and retries to websocket infrastructure for more reliable real-time updates.

Preview any channel before joining. Click a channel to browse its message history and read recent conversations. When you're ready, join with one click and the channel appears in your sidebar.

Manage channel members directly from the sidebar. Right-click any channel to view current members, search through the member list, or add new people. Channel info, member counts, and quick actions are now accessible without navigating away.

Search is now a dedicated full-screen experience with its own surface. Find messages across your workspace with improved relevance powered by ZeroEntropy reranking. This lays the foundation for context management, multiselect, and AI-powered answers.

Stacks now factor in recency when grouping related messages. Inbox views have an AI summary toggle. The UI was also updated based on new designs.

Backend infrastructure for the new search experience is complete. The Search API supports time filters, conversation filters, user filters, and integrates ZeroEntropy for intelligent reranking.

The backend now generates Stacks from event list items, intelligently grouping related messages together. This is the core infrastructure for the inbox's grouped notification experience.

Introducing Cmd+K as the new keyboard-first command center. The initial release includes a modal with search and one action (Join Channel). This foundation enables rapid keyboard navigation and will expand to support all major workspace actions.
