## Agents, Insights & a Smarter Darcy

This release hands Darcy real engineering work and then shows you exactly how she did it. A new **coding agent** works through multi-step development tasks while you watch, and **Agent Activity** maps every step and tool call of any run into a graph you can click through. Alongside that: **typed columns** make Lists behave like a real database, your **daily briefing** is now yours to configure, and the model behind Darcy got a significant upgrade.

#### Meet the Coding Agent

You can now hand real, multi-step coding work to Darcy. She orients herself in the codebase, makes changes across files, and verifies her own work — streaming the whole thing as it happens instead of going quiet and returning a result.

* **Delegate From Chat** — When a request looks like development work, Darcy offers to hand it off. Confirm with **Start coding agent** and the run begins in your conversation.
* **Live Progress** — Steps stream in as the agent works, so you can follow its reasoning and stop it if it heads the wrong way.
* **Reviewable Transcripts** — Every session is captured so you can go back and see exactly what was run and changed.

> **Use Case:** Ask Darcy to fix a failing test suite. She finds the tests, reads the failures, edits the code, re-runs the suite, and shows you each step as it happens — rather than handing you a diff and asking you to trust it.

> **Worth knowing:** The coding agent needs a computer to work on, so it appears once you have a cloud computer or a connected Darcy Desktop. This is Darcy's own coding agent — separate from the Cursor Cloud Agents support added in the last release.

#### Agent Activity

Every run Darcy makes is now something you can inspect. Open **Agent Activity** from the chat header to see the shape of the whole run.

* **Graph and Timeline Views** — See the run as a connected graph of steps, or as a straight chronological timeline.
* **Open Any Step** — Click a node for its source, the arguments it was called with, its full result, and any subagent steps beneath it. Each field has a copy button.
* **Read Darcy's Reasoning** — Nodes carry what Darcy said immediately before making the call, so you can see *why* a tool was used, not just that it was.
* **Step Through the Run** — **Previous call** and **Next call** walk you through the run one step at a time.
* **Pin It Open** — **Pin** docks the graph beside your chat so it stays up as you keep working, instead of reopening it each time.

> **Use Case:** Darcy returns a number you weren't expecting. Instead of asking her to explain, you open the graph, find the query she ran, read the arguments and the raw result, and see in one glance that she filtered on the wrong account.

#### Lists, Redesigned

Lists now understand the data they hold, which makes sorting, filtering, and math behave the way you'd expect.

* **Typed Columns** — New columns are **Text**, **Number**, **Boolean**, or **Date and Time**. Each type sorts and filters correctly instead of treating everything as text, so `10` no longer sorts before `9`.
* **Aggregations** — **Count**, **Sum**, and **Average** (along with minimum and maximum) are computed for you, including in the pivot table view.
* **Server-Side Queries** — Filtering, sorting, and aggregation all happen on the server, so large lists stay responsive rather than pulling everything into your browser first.

#### A Briefing Built Around You

The Briefing widget on your homepage is now configurable. Click **Customize** on the widget to open **Customize your briefing**.

* **Choose Your Sections** — Include or drop **To-dos**, **Meetings**, **Customer health**, and **Workflows**. Anything you deselect stops appearing.
* **Pull From Your Integrations** — Add up to three connected integrations as briefing sources, so your morning read includes the systems you actually live in.
* **Tell It What Matters** — A **What matters most to you** prompt lets you steer the briefing's focus in your own words.
* **Preview Before You Commit** — See how the briefing will actually read as you change settings.
* **Properly Formatted** — Briefings now render as full markdown, so headings, lists, and emphasis come through cleanly.

> **Use Case:** A delivery lead drops customer health, keeps to-dos and meetings, adds their Linear and Sentry connections, and asks the briefing to lead with anything blocking this week's release. Every morning it opens with exactly that.

#### AI Model Upgrade

Darcy's AI just got a major boost in intelligence and output quality.

* **20–40% More Intelligence** — Answers are noticeably sharper, more accurate, and better at complex, multi-step work where Darcy has to hold several things in mind at once.
* **Anthropic Fable Quality** — Darcy now delivers Anthropic Fable Quality output for richer, more polished results.

#### Darcy Desktop

The desktop app, currently in beta, picks up a round of quality-of-life fixes.

* **Right-Click Works** — Context menus function throughout the app, including on tabs, where you can **Close** a tab or **Close All to the Right**.
* **More Tabs** — The tab limit has been raised so you can keep more workspaces open at once.
* **Back and Forward** — Navigation buttons in the top bar, plus corrected colors on the close, collapse, and expand controls.
* **Windows Subsystem for Linux** — Darcy Desktop now runs under WSL.

#### UI & Accessibility Polish

* **Dark Mode in Customer Views** — Dark mode now extends across customer-facing views, so the theme holds up wherever you navigate.
* **A Consistent Design System** — Buttons, callouts, and warnings have been standardized platform-wide, so the same action looks the same everywhere.
* **Accessibility Improvements** — Better support for assistive technology throughout the interface.
* **Stricter Blueprint Sharing** — Blueprint sharing permissions are enforced more rigorously. Having access to the blueprints feature no longer implies access to every individual blueprint — you need to have been shared the blueprint itself.

> **What this means for you:** Darcy is a more capable teammate this release, and a more legible one. You can hand her genuine engineering work and watch it happen, then open the graph and see precisely how any answer was produced — which is the difference between a tool you use and one you trust. Add typed Lists that handle real data, a briefing shaped around your day, and a sharper model underneath, and there's a lot worth digging into.

> **Use Case:** Connect your Stripe and Ramp accounts to let Darcy pull billing data and expense reports into a single chat, or link GitLab and Sentry so your agents can triage issues and open merge requests without leaving the conversation.

#### Darcy Desktop App — Now in Beta

The full Darcy experience is now available as a native desktop app for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Get everything you love about Darcy in a dedicated application — plus the ability to interact directly with your local computer.

* **Native apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux** — Install Darcy as a first-class desktop application on any major operating system, with the same chat, integrations, workflows, and features you use in the browser.
* **Local computer interaction** — Grant Darcy access to a folder on your machine and agents can read, edit, and create files directly in your local projects. Run your actual test suites, execute builds, and work with your real codebase — changes appear in your IDE the moment they're saved.
* **Seamless cloud sync** — Files and context move between your desktop and the cloud sandbox, so you can combine local project access with cloud-based analysis and processing.

Learn more on the [Darcy Desktop](/core-features/darcy-desktop.md) page.

> **Use Case:** Working on a codebase? Grant Darcy access to your project folder and ask it to run your test suite, fix failing tests, and update your source files directly — all without leaving the desktop app or switching to your terminal.

#### Cursor Cloud Agents

Darcy now integrates with Cursor Cloud Agents, letting you launch and manage coding agents directly from chat or TestDrive.

* **Cursor Cloud Agent integration** — Connect your Cursor account and launch coding agents that can work on your repositories, with streaming output visible in the Darcy chat interface.
* **Launch from chat with approval gate** — Cursor agent launches from chat go through an approval flow where you can review and edit parameters (including target repositories) before the agent starts.

#### Outlook Integration

The Outlook integration has been expanded with shared mailbox support and richer email management tools.

* **Shared mailbox support** — Connect to and operate from shared mailboxes, not just personal ones.
* **Folder management** — Move emails between folders and list available folders directly from chat.
* **Categories and read status** — Apply categories to emails and manage read/unread status, giving agents full email triage capabilities.

> **Use Case:** Ask Darcy to triage your shared support mailbox — move resolved threads to an archive folder, mark them as read, and apply a "Completed" category — all through natural language.

#### Chat & UX Improvements

A smoother, more polished experience across the platform.

* **Dark mode enhancements** — Dark mode has been refined across components with updated colors, button styling, and integration logo styling for a consistent look.
* **Chat history search improvements** — Search now matches chat titles more accurately and shows a filtered result count below the search bar.
* **Larger paste support** — Paste limit increased to 20,000 characters, so you can drop longer content directly into chat.
* **Infinite scroll fix** — Chat lists no longer get stuck in an infinite scroll loop, and agent runs are properly filtered from chat history.
  {% endupdate %}

{% update date="2026-08-15" %}

## Home Dashboard, Dark Mode & Platform Enhancements

This release is about making Darcy feel like yours. The **home dashboard** is now a customizable bento layout of draggable widgets, **dark mode** covers every screen in the platform, and **timezone support** means schedules finally run on your clock instead of UTC. Underneath, the AI engine gained AWS Bedrock Mantle models, longer-running task tolerance, and automatic handling of oversized tool results.

#### Home Dashboard

Your homepage is now something you arrange rather than something you're handed.

* **Bento-Style Widget Layout** — Drag widgets and charts into the arrangement that suits how you work, or start from one of the preset layouts.
* **Add, Remove & Focus** — Pick exactly which widgets appear, and toggle focus mode when you want fewer distractions.
* **Your Layout Persists** — Widget arrangements are saved per user, so your homepage looks the same every time you come back.

#### Dark Mode

* **Platform-Wide Theme Toggle** — A control in the top navigation switches between light and dark instantly.
* **Consistent Everywhere** — Buttons, pills, cards, modals, forms, and error states have all been restyled with semantic color tokens, so both themes look deliberate rather than inverted.

> **Use Case:** You arrange your homepage around the widgets that matter — customer intelligence briefings, recent tasks, scoping summaries — then flip on dark mode for a late-night working session. Your layout follows your account to any device; the theme is remembered by the browser you set it in.

#### AI & Performance

* **AWS Bedrock Mantle (BYOK)** — Point your organization's inference at a Bedrock project in your own AWS account, then choose which model powers each of Darcy's smart, fast, and analytical tiers. Set it up under **Settings → Organization → Model Routing**. Models route through their native API surfaces for the best performance.
* **Oversized Results Handled Automatically** — When a tool returns an especially large result, Darcy pipes it to a workspace file and works from there, so heavy data loads no longer bog down the conversation.
* **Longer Task Tolerance** — The agent adaptive stream timeout moved from 15 seconds to 45 seconds, which cuts premature timeout errors on longer-running work.
* **In-Sandbox File Editing** — The `edit_file` tool now runs in-sandbox and returns structured results, making edits more reliable and predictable.
* **Validated React Artifacts** — Darcy validates React code before presenting it, so artifacts render consistently instead of failing after the fact.
* **Copy Code Blocks** — Code blocks in chat now have a one-click copy button.

#### Timezone & Scheduling

Timezone handling is now user-aware across onboarding, profiles, and automation schedules.

* **Set Your Timezone Once** — Choose your timezone during onboarding or from your profile, and automation schedules use it instead of defaulting to UTC.
* **Timezones in Results** — Automation tool result detail cards show the timezone alongside the timestamp.
* **Clearer Scheduling Guidance** — Timezone guidance in agent and automation tool descriptions has been shortened and clarified, making schedules easier to get right the first time.

> **Use Case:** A project manager in London sets their timezone during onboarding. Every automation schedule, result timestamp, and scheduling prompt now reflects local time — no more mental UTC conversions.

#### Workflows & Automation

* **Warnings Before You Delete or Disable** — Deleting or disabling a workflow now tells you which automations depend on it and notifies the other users affected.
* **Cross-User Impact Alerts** — Delete and archive dialogs flag when an action reaches into other people's workflows or automations, shown anonymously.

#### Scoping, Skills & MCP Studio

* **Quantity-Based Effort in Scoping** — Level of effort can now be entered by quantity alongside the existing modes, giving you more ways to estimate project work.
* **Files at Skill Creation** — Skills can be created with their reference materials attached, instead of only being able to add files after the fact.
* **Cursor-Compatible MCP Snippet** — The MCP Builder connect snippet now uses headers Cursor accepts.
* **Steadier MCP Studio Builds** — The MCP SDK is pinned to a stable version, and MCP servers can be duplicated again.
* **MCP Issues Surfaced** — Problems with MCP integrations during background workflow runs are now reported rather than failing quietly.

#### Per-Tool Permissions for Integrations

An MCP integration hands Darcy a whole set of tools at once. You can now decide about them one at a time.

* **Three Settings Per Tool** — Open a connected integration's **Tool Permissions** tab and set each tool to **Enabled**, **Enabled + Requires Approval**, or **Disabled**. Everything starts enabled, and changes save immediately.
* **Approval Before Use** — Tools marked for approval prompt you in chat before each call, so Darcy can hold the ones that write, send, or delete until you say go.
* **Disabled Means Disabled** — A disabled tool is never offered to the model and is refused if anything tries to call it.
* **Set Once for Everyone** — Permissions live on the integration, so they apply to every person it's shared with. Anyone with Write access can change them; Read access sees them but can't.

> **Use Case:** You share a Jira MCP with your delivery team. Reading issues and searching projects stay enabled, transitioning an issue needs your approval, and deleting one is disabled outright — for everyone using it, without trusting each person to be careful.

> **Worth knowing:** Approval is a chat gate. Scheduled automations and agent runs have nobody to ask, so approval-marked tools run normally there. If a tool must never run unattended, disable it.

#### Lists, Permissions & Integrations

* **Bulk Row Updates** — Lists support match-based bulk updates, so changing many rows no longer means changing them one at a time.
* **`insert_rows` Without Approval** — Inserting rows no longer requires approval or advanced permissions.
* **Granular Customer Intelligence Access** — Write permissions for Customer Intelligence have been split into finer scopes, including a dedicated customer update permission.
* **Glossary Approval** — Glossary permissions are now enforced at tool-call time, and glossary update tools require human approval.
* **Salesforce File Downloads** — Darcy can download files from Salesforce directly to her computer.
* **Large Salesforce Results Spill to Workspace** — Oversized artifacts from Salesforce files and SOQL queries now spill to workspace storage instead of failing outright.

#### Account Search & Artifacts

* **Projects and Tasks From Search** — Account search results show associated projects and an **Open Task** button for creating a task on the spot, with project association supported on task actions.

#### Meetings

* **Better Past Meetings View** — The past meetings experience has an improved layout and more usable functionality.

#### Bug Fixes

* **Meetings** — Fixed recordings that couldn't be uploaded, a rare speaker attribution error where labels weren't passed to the summarizer, and problems joining Google Meetings.
* **Salesforce & CRM Sync** — Fixed filter logic bugs in the SOQL query builder, and architect and engineer hours are no longer swapped when syncing scoping estimates to Salesforce.
* **Schedules & Automations** — Resolved bugs in the schedule timezone selector and cron picker, including misparsed weekday ranges, and archived schedule automations no longer reappear in the active list.
* **Artifacts & Vault** — Fixed the missing globe icon that broke the artifact share flow, select and actions not working when a filter is applied, artifacts not updating when saved to a project, and users with large numbers of artifacts unable to see all of them.
* **Lists** — Fixed lead list processing stalling with rows stuck as pending.
* **Chat Window** — An enlarged chat window no longer shrinks back after you send a message.
* **Customer Intelligence** — Fixed a failure when adding a contact.
* **Files** — Improved handling of oversized files and fixed memory leaks in the file renderer.
* **User Groups** — Fixed an error when creating a user group with custom role attachments.

> **What this means for you:** Darcy now adapts to how you work rather than the other way around. Your homepage holds the widgets you actually use, the platform matches whichever theme you prefer, and schedules run on your clock. On the engine side, longer tasks survive, oversized results get handled instead of breaking things, and Bedrock Mantle joins the models you can bring your own keys for.
> {% endupdate %}

{% update date="2026-07-27" %}

## Plan Mode, Faster Navigation & Shareable Agents

This release is about control and speed. **Plan mode** lets you approve Darcy's approach before she starts work, the redesigned **command menu** puts every page and every piece of your workspace one keystroke away, and **shared agents now bring their integrations and skills with them** so they actually work for the people you share them with. The Artifact Vault also gains the archive-and-restore safety net the rest of the platform already had.

#### Plan Mode

For work that's long-running, expensive, or hard to undo, you can now ask Darcy to show her plan before she commits to it. Darcy drafts a numbered set of tasks, waits for your approval, then works through them one at a time while you watch progress.

* **Approve, Edit, or Reject** — Every proposed plan arrives as a card. Accept it to start work, edit it to steer the approach and get a revised plan back, or reject it outright.
* **Live Progress** — Once a plan is running, a progress bar above the message box shows the current task and how many are complete. Expand it for the full checklist.
* **Pause and Resume** — If Darcy comes back with a question instead of an action, the plan pauses and hands control to you. Continue when you're ready, or exit the plan entirely.
* **Two Ways In** — Toggle plan mode from the chat toolbar, or just type `/plan`.

> **Use Case:** You ask Darcy to migrate a client's reporting pack to a new template. Instead of watching her rewrite forty documents and hoping she got the approach right, you review a seven-step plan, correct step three, accept it, and track each document as it's completed.

#### Command Menu & Slash Commands

Navigation got a lot faster. Press **Ctrl + K** (**⌘ + K** on Mac) anywhere in DarcyIQ to jump to any page or search everything you've created.

* **Jump to Any Page** — One filterable list of every destination you have access to, from Chat and Projects to MCP Studio and Settings.
* **Search Your Whole Workspace** — Projects, meetings, workflows, lists, artifacts, and tasks in one place. Projects and artifacts are both new to search this release.
* **Search Within One Area** — Highlight a destination and press **Tab** to scope your search to just that area, so a common word doesn't return everything you own.
* **Slash Commands in Chat** — Type `/` in the message box for shortcuts: `/plan`, `/attach`, `/draw`, `/skills`, `/meeting`, `/project`, and `/integrations`.
* **Your Prompts as Commands** — Every saved prompt automatically becomes its own slash command, grouped under Quick Prompts. A prompt called "Create a follow-up email" is now just `/create-a-follow-up-email`.

> **Use Case:** Mid-conversation you need the notes from last month's kickoff. **Ctrl + K**, arrow to Meetings, **Tab**, type the client name — and you're looking at the transcript without ever leaving what you were doing.

#### Shared Agents Bring Their Dependencies

Sharing an agent used to hand someone a configuration that didn't quite work, because the integrations and skills it depended on stayed behind. Now they come along.

* **Dependencies Included** — Sharing an agent grants the recipient read-only access to the integrations and custom skills it uses, so it behaves for them the way it does for you.
* **See Exactly What's Shared** — The share dialog lists what's included, grouped into Integrations and Skills, before you confirm.
* **Know Before You Break Something** — Archiving a skill or disconnecting an integration now warns you how many agents depend on it and names them, flagging any that are shared.
* **Traceable Access** — On an integration or skill, anyone who reached it through a shared agent is listed under **Via shared agents**. Un-share the agent and the access goes with it.
* **Safer Archiving** — Archiving an agent now pauses its schedules and deactivates its automations, listing what will be affected first. Restoring re-enables schedules but deliberately leaves automations off until you switch them back on.

> **Use Case:** You share your "QBR Prep" agent with a new team member. It works on their first try — the HubSpot integration and your reporting skill came with it — and when you later archive that skill, you're told upfront that two agents and one shared recipient rely on it.

> **Worth knowing:** Sharing an agent is a real grant of access to its integrations and skills, and that access can't be removed piece by piece while the agent is shared. If someone shouldn't reach a particular integration, don't share an agent that depends on it.

#### Skills: Preview Before You Install

* **Read Before You Add** — Open any catalog skill to read its full instructions and see its attached files in a read-only preview, then install straight from that view.
* **Clear Install State** — Buttons move through **Add**, **Added**, and **Update** so you always know whether your copy is current.
* **Agent Skills Load Themselves** — Skills assigned to an agent now switch on automatically when you select it, shown as locked with an **Enabled by {agent}** badge. No more wondering why an agent isn't using the skill you gave it.
* **Organization-Scoped Catalog** — Publishing shares a skill within your own organization, and only the publishing organization can update or unpublish a listing.

#### Artifact Vault: Archive, Restore & Bigger Artifacts

The Vault now follows the same recoverable lifecycle as the rest of the platform.

* **Archive Instead of Delete** — Deleting an artifact archives it. Switch to the archived view to restore it, or delete it permanently when you're certain.
* **Retention Countdown** — Archived artifacts show the date they'll be permanently removed, so nothing disappears without warning.
* **Agents Can Tidy Up, Not Destroy** — Agents can archive and restore artifacts on your behalf, but permanent deletion stays a human decision.
* **Artifacts Over 250 KB** — The old size ceiling is lifted. Large artifacts are stored in full and loaded on demand, with a preview shown if the full version can't be fetched.
* **Consistent Identity** — Editing a Vault artifact in chat now keeps its identity and its public share link instead of creating a new artifact.

#### Lead List Exports

* **Every Row, Not Just the Page** — Exports are now generated server-side and include the entire list rather than only the rows loaded on screen.
* **Export by Status** — Export all leads, or just the complete, processing, failed, or disqualified ones, with counts shown next to each option.
* **Opens Cleanly in Excel** — Exported files are encoded so accented and special characters render correctly instead of turning into garbled text.

#### Integrations

* **Outlook Shared Calendars** — Darcy can now list shared calendars and read events from a colleague's calendar when they've shared it with you, not just your own.
* **Salesforce Sandboxes & My Domain** — A new optional **Salesforce Login URL (My Domain)** field under Advanced settings lets you connect sandboxes and orgs whose OAuth is bound to a My Domain. Production orgs on the standard login host need nothing.
* **Guided Connection Flow** — Connecting an integration now walks you through choosing it, configuring it, and confirming it's connected.

> **Action required for Outlook users:** Shared-calendar access needs a new Microsoft permission. If you connected Outlook before this release, **disconnect and reconnect** the integration to grant it. Existing email and personal calendar features keep working either way.

#### Additional Improvements

* **Response Alerts** — A bell in the chat toolbar can notify you when Darcy finishes a long response, so you can switch tabs and get pulled back when it matters.
* **Send an Agent a Task Directly** — Click any agent card in the Agents drawer to describe a task and hand it off. Progress appears under To Do's & Tasks.
* **Unified Knowledge Base Search** — Darcy now searches across all the knowledge bases you're authorized for through a single search step, choosing the right one instead of juggling a separate tool per base.
* **Calculations Run as Code** — The dedicated math tool has been retired in favor of Darcy writing and running real code in DarcyOS. Statistics, financial models, and unit conversions are now handled with Python, which means she can show her working, run them across a whole dataset, and chart the result in the same step.
* **Inline Project Creation** — Create a project directly from the project picker when saving an artifact, instead of breaking off to set one up first.
* **Branded Status Pages** — If DarcyIQ is ever unavailable, you now get a clear page pointing at our live status page rather than a browser error.

#### Bug Fixes

* **Business Reports** — Fixed business report generation failing outright with "No response received from business report generator."
* **Lead List Exports** — Exports were dropping every row past the visible page and producing garbled characters in Excel. Both are fixed.
* **AI Columns** — Creating an AI column whose name matched an existing one after spacing was normalized failed silently with no explanation; it now tells you which column it conflicts with. Typing a space while editing an AI column prompt no longer gets swallowed, and AI columns no longer silently fail to submit their values.
* **Shared Skills With Files** — Skills with attached files failed for recipients with a "no such file" error. Fixed, along with assigned skills being dropped at runtime for people using a shared agent.
* **Blueprints** — Blueprints with more than roughly 75 fields couldn't be fully filled. Large blueprints now populate completely.
* **Lists Under Load** — Fixed a condition where a burst of traffic could exhaust database connections and make lists temporarily unavailable.
* **Clearer Failures** — Agent run failures now show a readable explanation instead of a raw technical error, and failure emails link straight to the run in question.
* **Long Approvals** — Waiting a long time to approve an agent action no longer risks losing the response.
* **Artifacts** — The Vault reported "deleted" when it had actually archived, and gave no confirmation on a single archive. Artifacts also no longer pick up styling from the page around them.
* **Automations** — Archiving an agent now correctly pauses its schedules, and the automations list no longer briefly shows another organization's automations after switching orgs.
* **Lists, Projects & Meetings** — Pinning a column no longer makes list data overlap, project items no longer render behind sticky headers, the Project Portal displays apps correctly, and the meeting view no longer jumps back to the top during transcription.
* **Integrations** — Fixed connecting Salesforce sandboxes, duplicating an MCP in MCP Studio, and the chat integrations list not refreshing when opened.
* **Cloud Computer** — Your shell history and working files now survive a paused session.
* **Safari** — Fixed being unable to change a share role between Editor and Read.

> **What this means for you:** This release hands you more control over how Darcy works and gets you to what you need faster. Plan mode means you approve the approach on consequential work instead of hoping for the best. The command menu collapses navigation and search into a single keystroke. And shared agents finally work for the people you share them with, with clear warnings before you remove something others depend on. Less friction finding things, less guesswork on big tasks, and fewer surprises when you share.

## Agent Autonomy & Smarter Conversations

This release gives agents the power to safely manage Darcy itself — archiving, restoring, and organizing resources with new advanced permissions — while bringing a massive upgrade to your conversational experience. **Call Coach 3.0** introduces real-time live coaching, chat is faster and smarter than ever, and the new **Skills Catalog** makes it easy to share expertise across your entire organization.

#### Archive & Advanced Agent Permissions

Darcy now supports a safe, recoverable lifecycle for every resource. Instead of a hard delete, items are first archived — giving you a 90-day window to restore anything before it's permanently removed. Agents can archive and restore on their own, while humans retain full control including permanent deletion.

* **Archive → Delete Lifecycle** — All resources now go through an archive step before deletion. Archived items are automatically purged after 90 days, and everything is recoverable during that window.
* **Agent Archive & Restore** — Agents can now archive and restore resources like projects, lists, automations, and blueprints without requiring human approval for every action.
* **Advanced Agent Permissions** — A new permission model, enabled at agent creation time, allows agents to modify Darcy itself — creating projects, managing blueprints, and organizing resources. This includes a per-tool capability picker so you can grant exactly the right level of autonomy.
* **Audit Trail** — Every archive, restore, and purge is logged with a full audit trail, including who archived, when, and what was removed. Administrators can review the complete deletion log from system settings.

> **Use Case:** A customer success agent can archive completed projects and stale lists on its own schedule, keeping your workspace clean — and if it archives something it shouldn't have, you have 90 days to restore it with a single click.

#### Skills Catalog

Skills are now shareable across your entire organization. Publish a skill to the catalog, let teammates install it with one click, and stay in sync when updates are published — all backed by a new version control system.

* **Organization-Wide Catalog** — Publish any skill to your org's catalog so every user can discover and install it. No more emailing skill files or recreating workflows from scratch.
* **One-Click Install & Update Notifications** — Users can add skills from the catalog instantly. When a skill author publishes an update, installed users are notified and can update to the latest version with a single click.
* **Version Control & Rollbacks** — Every skill now tracks versions, so you can roll back to a previous version if an update doesn't work as expected. Skill snapshots are preserved for reliable restores.
* **Access Controls** — Publishing to the catalog is gated by role-based permissions, so administrators control who can share skills organization-wide.

> **Use Case:** Your solutions architect builds a skill for AWS migration assessments and publishes it to the catalog. Every consultant in the org can now install it, and when the architect refines the methodology, everyone gets notified to update — no manual distribution required.

#### Call Coach 3.0

Call Coach has been completely rebuilt with a new UX, a real-time live coaching mode, and a dramatically faster analysis engine that's 40x faster with a 300% increase in accuracy.

* **Live Coaching** — A brand-new mode that actively coaches you during conversations, surfacing suggestions and guidance in real time as the discussion unfolds — like having an expert sitting beside you.
* **Redesigned Experience** — The entire Call Coach interface has been rebuilt with a cleaner, more intuitive layout that puts coaching insights front and center.
* **40x Faster Analysis** — A new meeting analysis pipeline processes conversations 40x faster than before, with a 300% increase in accuracy for identifying questions, objections, and coaching opportunities.
* **Smarter Topic Deduplication** — Coaching topics are now deduplicated by name, so you get clean, actionable insights instead of redundant entries.

> **Use Case:** During a live sales call, Call Coach detects that the prospect is raising pricing objections and instantly surfaces a coaching prompt with recommended talking points — all in real time, without waiting for the meeting to end.

#### Chat Improvements

Chat is now 20% faster, smarter, and more visual. We've also addressed several issues from the previous release that affected chat quality and reliability.

* **20% Faster Responses** — Optimized token handling and model tuning have reduced response times by 20% across the board.
* **Whiteboard** — A new visual collaboration mode lets you diagram, sketch, and edit content directly within a chat conversation. Attach your whiteboard to any chat for a visual record of your thinking. Includes grid and snap-to-grid toggles for clean diagrams.
* **Chat Steering** — Queue up a message while the agent is still responding, and Darcy will intercept at the next available turn to steer the conversation toward your new request — no more waiting for a long response to finish before redirecting.
* **Smarter Tool Selection** — We identified that a previous release quadrupled the number of active tools available to chat, which overwhelmed the model and degraded quality. We've restructured tool access so the model sees the right tools at the right time.
* **Reasoning Fix** — Resolved an issue where the model's reasoning process would consume all available output tokens, leaving no room for an actual response. Reasoning is now properly bounded.
* **Token Optimization** — A new content-aware compression process eliminates duplicate content between tool calls, delivering a 20–30% reduction in token consumption — which means faster responses and lower costs.

> **Use Case:** You're working on a complex architecture plan in chat. You sketch out a diagram on the whiteboard, attach it to the conversation, and mid-response you realize you want to pivot — you queue a steering message and the agent picks up your new direction at the next turn.

#### Additional Improvements

* **Improved Meeting Titling** — When appropriate, meetings are now automatically given descriptive titles based on their summary, so your meeting list stays organized without manual cleanup.
* **Public Artifacts** — Public artifact pages have been redesigned with a cleaner, full-page rendering experience.
* **Bulk Actions Across the Platform** — You can now bulk-select and perform actions on agents, skills, lists, apps, and MCP components — archive, delete, or organize in batches instead of one at a time.
* **Refined UI Throughout** — Dialogs, list management pages, blueprint pages, integration directories, and user configuration screens have been redesigned for better consistency, accessibility, and ease of use.

#### Bug Fixes

* **Scoping Tool Batch Updates** — Fixed an issue where the scoping tool would sometimes fail to make batch updates to tasks and estimates.
* **List Tool "Query List" Updates** — The query\_list tool now uses proper page-based pagination instead of truncating large responses. Numeric arguments are also handled more robustly.
* **Onboarding Wizard** — Fixed a bug where missing critical information during onboarding could cause users to loop indefinitely in the wizard. Profile saves are no longer blocked by permission edge cases.
* **Blueprint Large Document Handling** — Blueprints with more than 200 items now paginate correctly instead of truncating over time. Also fixed an issue where DOCX blueprints could leave raw placeholder text unfilled.
* **Meeting Summary Reliability** — Fixed meeting summary generation failures.

> **What this means for you:** This release is about giving you more power with less friction. Agents can now keep your workspace organized on their own — safely and recoverably — while the new Skills Catalog turns individual expertise into shared organizational capability. Meanwhile, Call Coach 3.0 brings real-time coaching to your live conversations, and chat is faster, smarter, and more visual than it's ever been. Whether you're running customer engagements, managing projects, or coaching your team through critical calls, Darcy now works alongside you more autonomously and more intelligently.

## Interviews, Integrations & Intelligence

This release brings a powerful new way to conduct structured discovery interviews with AI agents, three major integration partners (Microsoft Outlook, Google Workspace, Google Drive, and SharePoint), significant performance gains across chat and real-time features, and a refreshed onboarding experience that gets you to value faster than ever.

#### Interviews

Darcy now supports structured AI-driven interviews — a brand-new capability that lets you configure discovery sessions with guided topics, invite participants to a public-facing interview page, and let an AI agent conduct the conversation on your behalf. Voice interviews are also supported, powered by Nova Sonic, so participants can speak naturally while the agent captures and processes responses in real time.

* **Structured Interview Topics & Progress Tracking** — Define the topics and questions your AI agent should cover, then track progress across each topic as the interview unfolds.
* **Public Participant Pages** — Invite external participants to a branded interview page where they interact directly with your configured AI agent — no Darcy account required.
* **Voice Interviews** — Conduct interviews over voice with real-time transcription, giving participants a natural conversational experience.
* **Session Management & Artifacts** — Manage interview sessions within projects, review transcripts, and automatically generate artifacts from interview outcomes.
* **Project-Scoped Interview Agents** — Each interview is tied to a project and powered by a dedicated agent, keeping context focused and relevant.

> **Use Case:** A consulting team configures a discovery interview with structured topics around cloud readiness, invites the client's CTO to a public interview page, and the AI agent walks through each topic — capturing responses, asking follow-ups, and producing a readiness assessment artifact at the end.

#### Integrations

Four new integrations expand Darcy's reach into the tools your team uses every day. Each integration connects through Darcy's MCP framework and includes write-approval gates so you stay in control of actions that modify your data.

* **Microsoft Outlook** — Connect your Outlook email and calendar to Darcy. Read and draft emails, manage calendar events, and let Darcy assist with scheduling — all with approval gates before any write action is taken.
* **Google Workspace & Drive** — Full Google Workspace coverage including Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive. Read emails, manage calendar events, download and update Drive files — with approval required before any write operation like sending emails or uploading files.
* **SharePoint** — Connect to SharePoint sites to read and search content, scoped to the authenticated user's permissions.

> **Use Case:** A project manager asks Darcy to "find the Q3 planning email from Sarah, summarize it, and draft a follow-up." Darcy searches Outlook, pulls the email, generates a summary, and presents a draft reply — waiting for your approval before sending.

#### Brand & Personalization

Your Darcy workspace now reflects your organization's identity. Upload logos, set brand colors, and configure how your instance looks and feels — especially on public-facing pages like interview invitations.

* **Brand Assets Management** — Upload and manage your organization's logo and brand assets through the settings UI. These assets are used across your workspace and on public participant pages.
* **Homepage Personalization** — Customize your Darcy homepage with a personalization panel that lets you pin the use cases and workflows you reach for most often.

#### Onboarding

Getting started with Darcy is now faster and more guided. The new onboarding wizard walks you through key setup steps and pins recommended use cases to your homepage so you can jump right in.

* **Onboarding Wizard** — A step-by-step wizard greets new users, guiding them through workspace setup, integration connections, and first-use recommendations.
* **Pinned Use Cases** — After onboarding, your homepage surfaces the most relevant use cases based on your role and configuration, so you start with context instead of a blank slate.

#### Performance & Reliability

Darcy is faster and more stable across the board. Chat conversations load quicker, real-time updates are more reliable, and file handling is more robust — especially for complex document templates and files with special characters.

* **Faster Chat Startup** — Conversations load noticeably faster with improved caching and smarter request handling.
* **More Reliable Real-Time Updates** — Live updates across Darcy are now more stable and memory-efficient, even under heavy use.
* **Expired File Link Recovery** — Historical images and files in chat that previously showed broken links now load correctly on demand.

## DarcyOS 2.0

This is our biggest release yet. Darcy Chat and Agents are getting a full 2.0 upgrade powered by **DarcyOS** — a complete computer-use microVM where Darcy can write and execute her own scripts, run code, process files, and operate a real Linux environment right inside your conversations. Alongside a fresh UI redesign, organization-wide design standards, and Skills 2.0 with file attachments, this release transforms what Darcy can do for you.

#### DarcyOS — Computer Use Everywhere

Darcy Chat now runs on a full computer-use microVM. That means Darcy can write her own scripts, execute Python and shell commands, install packages, process data, build deliverables, and work with files — all from within a conversation. Agents leverage the same environment, giving them real execution power for complex workflows. This is a fundamental upgrade from answering questions to actually getting things done.

* **Full microVM in Chat** — Darcy can write, run, and iterate on code directly in your conversation, similar to having a developer environment built into chat
* **Agents with execution power** — Agents now use the same DarcyOS environment to run scripts, transform data, and produce real outputs as part of automated workflows
* **DarcyOS in Workflows** — Automated workflows can now leverage the microVM for code execution, file processing, and multi-step transformations

> **Use Case:** Ask Darcy to analyze a CSV file, clean the data, generate charts, and produce a polished report — all in one conversation, with real code running behind the scenes.

#### Chat UI Redesign

Darcy Chat has a fresh, clean new look inspired by modern developer tools. The redesigned interface is more focused, less cluttered, and puts your conversation and results front and center.

* **Streamlined layout** — A cleaner, more focused interface that reduces visual noise and keeps the conversation flowing
* **Improved readability** — Better typography, spacing, and visual hierarchy make long conversations and code outputs easier to scan

#### Design Standards for Organizations

Organizations can now create or upload their own Design.md files as an organization-wide setting. This enables DarcyOS to understand your design and branding requirements across every conversation, agent, and workflow — ensuring consistent output that matches your brand.

* **Organization-wide design standards** — Set branding guidelines, color palettes, tone of voice, and design requirements that Darcy respects across all interactions
* **Upload or create** — Start from scratch or upload your existing brand guidelines, and Darcy will apply them automatically

> **Use Case:** Upload your company's brand guidelines as a Design.md, and every document, presentation, or piece of content Darcy generates will follow your brand standards — no more manual formatting passes.

#### Skills 2.0

Skills get a major upgrade with file attachments and cross-platform compatibility. You can now attach files to Skills so that when a skill executes, it has access to related reference materials, templates, and scripts. Skill packages from Anthropic, ChatGPT, and other agent platforms are now fully compatible with Darcy.

* **File attachments for Skills** — Attach reference documents, templates, scripts, and other files that become available whenever the skill runs
* **Cross-platform Skill compatibility** — Upload Skill packages built for other AI platforms and Darcy can use them directly — no rework required

> **Use Case:** Create a "Client Proposal" skill with your proposal template, pricing sheet, and brand guidelines attached. Every time you invoke the skill, Darcy has everything she needs to produce a polished, on-brand proposal.

#### Blueprints from Chat

You can now create Blueprints — Darcy's document template system — directly from chat. Instead of navigating to a separate section, just describe the template you need and Darcy will set it up with fillable fields automatically detected.

* **Chat-driven Blueprint creation** — Describe your template in conversation and Darcy creates it with auto-detected fillable fields
* **Faster template workflows** — Go from idea to fillable document template without leaving your chat session

#### Projects & GitHub Integration

The GitHub app has been updated with changes that make it easier to configure Projects. Connecting your repositories and setting up project tracking is now simpler and more intuitive.

* **Simplified GitHub configuration** — Easier setup flow for connecting repositories and configuring Projects within Darcy

#### Meeting Email Updates

The email notifications you receive from Darcy Meetings have been updated to the latest design — cleaner, more informative, and better looking in your inbox.

* **Redesigned meeting emails** — Updated email templates with the new Darcy design language for a more polished, professional look

#### Performance & Reliability

Behind the scenes, this release includes significant improvements to speed and performance across the platform, along with new reliability features for integrations.

* **Faster performance** — Noticeable speed improvements across chat, agents, and workflows
* **MCP connection reliability** — A new circuit breaker system protects against integration outages, automatically recovering when services come back online
* **Improved file previews** — New inline previews for DOCX and PPTX files directly in chat
