Live Session app v1.1.27: Zoom the canvas without a trackpad gesture

September 10, 2026

Live Session app v1.1.26: Pick the project before a call starts recording

Chief 1.1.26 lets you choose the destination project right from the meeting prompt, adds a Reset Layout and a per-strip panel opener to the session dock, and fixes a handful of things that used to strand your work: participant summary edits reverting, a paused session looking live after a reload, and the wrong project showing in the pill after a call.

September 7, 2026

Live Session app v1.1.25: Add screenshots and sketches from the transcript

The transcript panel now carries capture, images, sketch and paste-text controls in one row, and the chat composer grows to fit long prompts. This build also fixes tabs that stopped responding after a note, pasted links that would not open, and the session bar covering the upload controls.

September 5, 2026

See your plan's real credit total before you top up

The top-up field on the organization billing page now quotes the credits your plan actually grants, bonus included, and paid organizations get a Manage plan button instead of an invitation to upgrade.

September 5, 2026

Share links and chat content now follow who can open the chat

A public link, a chat's charts and documents, follow-up suggestions on a paired device, and a guest link to a live session all check the viewer's access to the underlying chat or project before serving anything.

September 4, 2026

Generate images on any chat turn

Asking Chief for an image now works every time, including on turns that previously came back saying image generation was unavailable.

September 4, 2026

Copy or move a file without dragging its labels along

The label checkbox in the copy and move dialogs now decides what happens, and search results for a copied file point at the copy rather than the original.

September 4, 2026

August 31, 2026

Live Session app v1.1.22: Keep capturing on Windows when a mic drops out

Windows sessions now recover on their own when a microphone or system audio device stops responding, and a diagnostics report tells you which device failed instead of looking identical to a healthy session.

August 31, 2026

Live Session app v1.1.21: Highlight one passage without marking every copy

Highlights in the live transcript now mark only the passage you selected, mid-meeting offers say which connected system the work will land in, and the buttons in the session header line up as one set.

August 30, 2026

Create an account before renaming a project or pairing a device

Chief now asks you to sign up before you rename a project or connect the desktop app, so a browsing session can no longer act like a full account.

August 28, 2026

See which trigger fires an action and save pre-approvals that stick

Action cards and detail pages now name the live session trigger instead of a generic label, scope chips count what the action actually saves, and the editor no longer offers a pre-approval that blocks the save.

August 28, 2026

Address a coding agent by name in a live session

Coding agents now sit in the session roster alongside the people on the call, and you can hand one a task from a to-do, the chat bar, a highlighted passage or the session brief. Anything aimed at someone else's machine waits for their approval.

August 28, 2026

Live Session app v1.1.20: Set your own hotkeys for live session controls

Chief 1.1.20 adds global keyboard shortcuts for the live session controls, lets you merge duplicate to-dos by dragging one onto another, and auto-completes sessions left running after everyone has gone quiet.

August 28, 2026

Find every live-session chat on the project afterwards

Chats started during a live session, by you or by anyone who joined, now stay on the project and open for other members after the session ends.

August 28, 2026

August 28, 2026

Set aside a live-session point and keep it out of chat

Points you park during a live session stay out of what the assistant sees when you @-mention that session, and the summary panel holds steady while you tick, park, and open images.

August 28, 2026

Get live session summaries in the meeting's language

Chief now writes headlines, to-dos, decisions and context in the language your meeting is held in, so a Spanish conversation gives you a Spanish summary.

Ask when something was said and jump to that moment

Chief now answers questions about your recorded sessions with a timecode and a link that opens the transcript at the exact turn where the words were spoken.

August 28, 2026

Finish an in-flight Chief MCP tool call during a redeploy

August 28, 2026

August 27, 2026

Capture pages and sign in from the extension side panel

The browser extension's side panel now brings back your ingested pages, captures pages with GIFs, and tells you when a sign-in attempt fails instead of leaving you stuck.

August 27, 2026

August 27, 2026

Numbered lists pick up where they left off

Lists in answers, reports and exported decks now read the way they were written: numbering continues across paragraphs and tables, checklists show a checkbox instead of a stray bullet, and slide headings stop being bulleted.

August 27, 2026

Sign in with Google in the language you picked

The language you set in Settings now carries through to the Google sign-in screen, and browsers set to Simplified or Traditional Chinese land on the right one.

An invite to a live session now lands in your Chief notification center with a link straight to the session, so you no longer have to watch your email to find out.

August 26, 2026

Open a Notion session link from any project you can reach

A Notion meeting link now starts the session for anyone on your team with access to a project that page or its database belongs to, instead of working for one person and failing for the next.

August 25, 2026

The prompt bar controls now stay on one line at any window width, and a chat scope with an asset that can no longer load stops showing a spinner that never clears.

August 23, 2026

August 20, 2026

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

August 20, 2026

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

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.

July 28, 2026

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.

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

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.

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

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 17, 2026

Live Session app v1.0.2: Read your session summary without leaving the app

June 15, 2026

Live Session app v1.0.1: Get a nudge to stop the session when your call ends

Chief now notices when your call wraps up and offers to stop the live session for you, gives running sessions a title drawn from your brief, and links the header breadcrumb straight to the project and session pages on the web. The waveform also reacts to your mic properly, and the transcript export buttons stop lingering after a session ends.
