Weekly Release Notes - Week of January 10 - January 16, 2026

What's New This Week​

This week delivered major improvements to voice chat reliability, introduced powerful new activity tracking capabilities, and strengthened platform security. We focused on making voice conversations more natural and responsive, giving you better visibility into workflow actions, and ensuring your data remains protected with enhanced security measures.

The updates this week include significant voice chat enhancements that reduce audio interruptions and improve conversation flow, a brand new activity feed for tracking workflow actions in real-time, and continued security and reliability hardening. We've also enhanced the user interface with better voice mode controls, improved workspace management, and numerous reliability improvements across the platform.

New Features​

Activity Feed for Workflow Monitoring​

Introduced a comprehensive activity feed that displays workflow actions in real-time. You can now see exactly what tools and actions your assistants are executing during conversations, with clear, human-readable descriptions and relevant details. The activity feed appears in both text and voice chat modes, giving you complete transparency into how workflows are processing your requests.

Voice Usage Cost Tracking​

Added detailed voice usage reporting under the Billing & Usage section. You can now track speech-to-text and text-to-speech costs for all phone calls, with usage charts that show trends over time. This transparency helps you understand and optimize your voice assistant usage patterns.

Enhanced Voice Mode Interface​

Redesigned the voice chat interface with a cleaner, more intuitive design. The new interface features prominent voice mode controls with dual call-to-action buttons, a sliding pill indicator for mode switching, and a compact audio visualization that shows live transcription during calls. Voice interactions now feel more polished and professional.

Live Transcription Display​

Voice mode now displays real-time transcription of conversations with a sleek orb visualization. You can see what's being said during calls, making voice interactions more accessible and easier to follow.

Template Variables Support​

Added powerful template variable capabilities for workspace managers, making it easier to create dynamic workflows that adapt to member data. The system now provides clear guidance on available variables and proper syntax usage.

User Interface and Experience​

  • Redesigned chat interface with improved message layout and consistent padding
  • Removed maximum width constraints on chat messages for better readability
  • Added smooth slide-in animations to activity feed items
  • Improved activity feed display with tool-specific formatting and actual values instead of technical identifiers
  • Enhanced workspace management interface with collapsible accordion panels
  • Better visual feedback for voice mode status with clearer "Connecting" and "Starting" indicators
  • Improved voice and text mode toggle with intuitive sliding pill design

Chat and Messaging​

  • Fixed chat session initialization to eliminate race conditions during startup
  • Improved conversation recovery flow with clearer "Start Over" button
  • Better preservation of voice and text mode preferences when restarting conversations

Bug Fixes​

  • Resolved voice audio interleaving issues where messages could play out of sequence during multi-message conversations
  • Fixed workflow default phone number clearing not persisting when users intentionally removed the value
  • Corrected assistant inference engine editor to allow proper configuration changes
  • Fixed voice mode incorrectly ignoring user messages when text-to-speech providers encountered errors
  • Resolved streaming issues with certain language model providers
  • Corrected permission errors in generated documentation files
  • Fixed slow test execution caused by incorrect cloud service configuration
  • Resolved database connection leaks that occurred when background tasks were cancelled
  • Fixed flaky rate limiting tests with better parallel test isolation
  • Corrected voice cost calculation bugs to accurately track usage
  • Fixed workflow task card displays to show task identifiers correctly
  • Resolved crashes in the admin workflow editor
  • Fixed translation and layout issues throughout the interface
  • Corrected organization owner permissions to restrict visibility to their own accounts only

Performance Enhancements​
