Buddy chat and Studio AI have been substantially upgraded with a set of new capabilities that make AI-assisted work faster and more interactive. Responses now stream character-by-character so you see output as it's generated rather than waiting for a complete answer. Buddy gains a multi-thread inbox so you can maintain separate conversations and switch between them at any time — conversations persist and resume exactly where you left off, even after a page reload.
New interaction patterns make it easier to work with your data: type / to access quick commands (including /compact to trim long conversations) and @ to reference entities like integrations, feeds, and storage schemas directly in your message. Mutating actions triggered by the AI now require your explicit approval before they execute, while read-only lookups proceed automatically — giving you control without friction.
