# What's new

New features added to Verbatim AI, most recent first. Only new capabilities are listed here — smaller improvements, fixes and behind-the-scenes work are left out.

Last release : v0.2.1

***

## August 2026

### 📊 Your consumption, right on the dashboard

**The Statistics card has grown into a panel.** The two numbers it carried — the **prompts** you have run and the **tokens** they cost — now head a panel that charts the **last 30 days** behind them: tokens consumed, day after day, on the home screen itself. A quiet spell or a jump in consumption is visible without opening anything.

On a wide window the panel goes further and charts **activity** — the stories and prompts opened each day — and **storage used**. On a phone it keeps to the tokens, and **Show more** opens the full report either way. See [The dashboard](/docs/dashboard.md#your-core-metrics-day-by-day).

### 💡 Contextual help, on your terms

**The help panel is now yours to open and close.** Every screen carries a **help button** in its header: tap it to slide the panel in, tap it again — or the ✕ in the panel's own header — to send it away. On a wide window the panel settles **beside** the page; on a narrow one it slides **over** it like a menu drawer, and a tap on the page behind puts it back.

**And it remembers.** The state you leave it in follows you from screen to screen, and it is still there the next time you open Verbatim AI. Until you touch the button, the panel opens by itself where the window is wide enough to hold it, and stays out of the way where it is not.

### 🤖 Put an agent to work from the agent's own page

**Choosing who answers you now takes a button that says so.** Open an agent from the Agents list and use **Use this agent**, pinned to the bottom of its page. The agent already answering shows **No more use** there instead, which hands your questions back to the one badged **Default**.

The Agents list briefly did this itself, on a tap on a card. It was quick, but it put changing the agent behind every later question one stray tap away — so tapping a card is back to simply opening it, and the choice moved to a place you cannot reach by accident. The list still **shows** which agent is at work: it carries an **Active** chip, alongside the **Default** badge when the two are the same agent.

The 🤖 button in a Story's header and the **Agent** section of your profile are unchanged. See [Agents](/docs/agents.md#choosing-the-one-that-answers-you).

### 🕘 See what a Story reads from, at a glance

**Every Story now wears the same icon**, badged with the number of Corpus it searches. A Story over three Corpus says so in the list, in its header and everywhere else it appears — where before it borrowed the icon of a single Corpus and said nothing about the others.

Open a Story and a row of chips at the top **names each Corpus it reads from**; click one to go straight there. See [Stories](/docs/stories.md#what-a-story-reads-from).

### 🔗 Ask one Story across several Corpus

**A Story is no longer tied to a single knowledge base.** The new **➕ button** on the Story screen asks which Corpus to read from, and you can tick as many as you like. Ask your contracts and your invoices the same question and get one answer drawn from both — still **naming the documents it used**, whichever Corpus they came from.

The **Start a story** button on a Corpus page is unchanged: it opens straight onto that Corpus, as it always has. See [Stories](/docs/stories.md#start-a-story).

### 🍴 Start from a platform agent

**Fork any of Verbatim AI's own agents into one of yours.** Platform agents are read-only, which used to make their configuration something you could look at and never build on. Open one and press **Fork**: the create form arrives carrying **every one of its settings**, with only the **name** left empty for you to fill in.

Change as much or as little as you like before saving. Your copy joins your agents **fully editable**, even though the agent it came from never was, and the original is left exactly as it was. See [Agents](/docs/agents.md).

### 🤖 Pick the agent your questions run under

**Choose which agent answers you**, from the 🤖 button in a Story's header or from your profile. The picker lists every agent you can use — Verbatim AI's own and yours — each card showing what it is for and whether it answers **Fast** or **Thorough**, with a tick on the one answering you right now.

Until you pick, that is the agent badged **Default**, and going back to it is simply picking its card again — there is no separate "no agent" setting to undo. The choice is **yours, not the Story's**: it holds for the conversation you are in and every one after it, and it survives closing the app. The 🤖 button stays lit while you are on an agent of your own and names whichever is answering, so you always know what is about to reply. Answers already written keep the agent that produced them. See [Agents](/docs/agents.md).

### 🤖 Agents: tune how your questions get answered

**A new Agents space**, in the navigation bar and on your dashboard. An agent is the setup behind an answer — how widely your documents are searched, which excerpts survive, what instruction the model receives, how much of the conversation is replayed, and which model writes the reply. The list shows **Verbatim AI's own agents** (🔒, read-only, one of them marked **Default**) alongside **yours**, which you can create, tune and delete. Only a name is required to create one: everything else starts on the platform's settings and follows them until you pin a value of your own — and clearing a field puts it back to following them again. See [Agents](/docs/agents.md).

### 📊 See what you have been consuming

**A metrics page, in three places.** The `Statistics` card of your dashboard — prompts and tokens together, where there used to be two cards — opens a report for your **whole organization**; a corpus opens **its own**, from the 📈 icon on its card or the **View Metrics** button on its page; and **My statistics** in your profile opens **yours**. Each report gives you the tokens spent, the stories and prompts opened and the storage taken — as headline totals and as **charts over time**, cut by **day, week, month or year**. See [The dashboard](/docs/dashboard.md).

### 👁️ Read a document without leaving the app

**Preview any indexed document, page by page.** Click a file's row in your document list — or pick **Preview** in its menu — and it opens in a reader: the page you are on fills the screen, **every page is listed as a thumbnail down the right**, and arrows walk you through the document. Thumbnails load **as you scroll**, so a two hundred page report opens as quickly as a one pager. The header gives you the **summary** of the document and a **download** of the original. From a [Story](/docs/stories.md), the same reader is one tap from any source an answer cites. See [Documents](/docs/documents.md).

### 📥 A new way to add documents

Uploading no longer starts the moment you pick a file. The **Upload** button now opens a page of its own where you **build your selection first**: **drag and drop** your documents (in the browser and the desktop app), or browse for them — **several times over**, since each pick is added to the list rather than replacing it. **Remove** any row you added by mistake, send up to **20 files** at once, and press **Upload files** only when the batch looks right. **Cancel** backs out at any point, even mid-upload. See [Documents](/docs/documents.md).

### 🏷️ Tags on your documents

Attach **free labels** — a team, a year, a project — to the documents you send, and find them again later. Tags are typed on the upload page and apply to **every file of the batch**; up to **32 per document**. They then appear **under each file's name** in your document list, and **Edit** in a file's menu lets you change them — and its name — long after it was sent. See [Documents](/docs/documents.md).

### ⚙️ Advanced upload options

For the cases that need it, an **Advanced** panel exposes the full ingestion settings: the **chunking** configuration (strategy, chunk size, overlap and more), a **Provider** label and free **metadata**. **Simple** stays the default, and remains the right choice almost every time. See [Documents](/docs/documents.md).

### ♻️ Replace a document's content

A file that failed to process no longer has to be deleted and re-added. Pick **Replace** in the file's menu and send a new version: the document **keeps its name and its place** in your Corpus, only the content behind it changes, and your Corpus **relearns it straight away**. It is just as handy for pushing an updated version of a document you already rely on. See [Documents](/docs/documents.md).

### 🔑 API keys for the secured API

Integrate Verbatim AI into your own systems with confidence. You can now **publish and manage your RSA public keys** directly in the app: give a key a name and description, **activate or deactivate** it, and **delete** it when it's no longer needed. Your keys are used to verify the JWT tokens that call the [secured Verbatim AI API](/docs/api-keys.md).

### 🎫 Instant API token

Grab a **fresh JWT token in a single tap** — it's copied straight to your clipboard so you can start calling the API right away.

### 🆔 Your organisation Id, one tap away

Calling the secured API means telling us **which organisation** is calling. Your **organization Id** now sits in your profile, just under your email — **tap the chip to copy it** and drop it into the `oid` claim of your JWT. See [your profile](/docs/profile.md).
