# Speak AI changelog: every product update shipped in 2026

[Back to all changelog years](/changelog/)

Speak AI shipped 60 updates in 2026, across 7 months. Each entry links to the part of the app it changed.

## July 2026

<a id="2026-07-inline-creation-in-selection-menus"></a>

### Inline creation in selection menus

**Feature** · July 14, 2026

You can now create folders and custom fields directly from selection menus without leaving your current workflow. Search also matches custom field values more accurately, and records with linked content are protected from accidental deletion.

<a id="2026-07-visible-menus-in-full-screen-chat"></a>

### Visible menus in full screen chat

**Fix** · July 13, 2026

Dropdown menus now open correctly when the chat panel is maximized. Model, assistant, and recommendation pickers stay visible instead of appearing behind the full screen interface.

<a id="2026-07-expanded-premium-model-selection"></a>

### Expanded premium model selection

**Feature** · July 13, 2026

You can now choose from additional premium chat models in the model picker. Plan based availability is shown more clearly so free and paid workspaces see the right options.

<a id="2026-07-faster-app-responsiveness"></a>

### Faster app responsiveness

**Performance** · July 13, 2026

Pages and interactions across the app now feel more responsive during everyday use. Behind the scenes optimizations reduce unnecessary work so screens load and update more smoothly.

<a id="2026-07-automation-library-template-picker"></a>

### Automation Library template picker

**Feature** · July 11, 2026

You can now start automations from a curated template library instead of building from scratch every time. New automation opens the library first, with a blank canvas option pinned at the top.

<a id="2026-07-cleaner-recorder-and-upload-handling"></a>

### Cleaner recorder and upload handling

**Fix** · July 10, 2026

Recording and upload flows now handle incomplete media more gracefully. You see fewer unexpected errors when a recording, its details, or its transcript are still being prepared.

<a id="2026-07-more-reliable-transcription-across-languages"></a>

### More reliable transcription across languages

**Fix** · July 10, 2026

Transcription now applies the right settings for every supported language. Uploads no longer fail for languages that handle custom vocabulary differently.

<a id="2026-07-more-flexible-custom-fields"></a>

### More flexible custom fields

**Fix** · July 9, 2026

You can now create custom fields without adding a description, and AI generated fields work reliably. Field setup is consistent whether you build them by hand or let AI create them.

<a id="2026-07-in-app-what-s-new-hub"></a>

### In app What's New hub

**Feature** · July 9, 2026

You can now see the latest product announcements in a dashboard modal and reopen them later from the account menu. The changelog page also matches your app theme for a smoother reading experience.

<a id="2026-07-better-search-in-long-dropdown-lists"></a>

### Better search in long dropdown lists

**Improvement** · July 8, 2026

Dropdown searches now look through your full list instead of only what is loaded on screen. You can find folders and other items more reliably in long lists.

<a id="2026-07-visible-prompt-text-on-retry"></a>

### Visible prompt text on retry

**Fix** · July 8, 2026

Retrying a failed chat message now keeps your original prompt visible while the new response is prepared. Chat history stays readable instead of showing a blank prompt bubble.

<a id="2026-07-clearer-automation-run-failures"></a>

### Clearer automation run failures

**Fix** · July 8, 2026

Automation runs now show clearly when a prompt fails instead of appearing stuck while preparing. You can tell when a run did not complete rather than waiting on it.

<a id="2026-07-record-first-mobile-capture-flow"></a>

### Record first mobile capture flow

**Improvement** · July 6, 2026

Mobile recording now starts immediately without requiring a code or setup before capture. Recordings save offline first, and recorder selection, questions, and upload happen afterward from saved recordings.

<a id="2026-07-unified-workspace-product-switching"></a>

### Unified workspace product switching

**Improvement** · July 3, 2026

You can now move between Speak and Speak Agents from the sidebar with a smoother sign in handoff. New account setup also lands on a dedicated welcome flow that makes cross product access clearer.

<a id="2026-07-canvas-workspace-for-agent-planning"></a>

### Canvas workspace for agent planning

**Feature** · July 3, 2026

You can now start building agents in a new canvas workspace designed for visual planning. Agents gain a foundation for arranging steps and logic in a more flexible builder experience.

<a id="2026-07-more-reliable-transcript-processing"></a>

### More reliable transcript processing

**Fix** · July 2, 2026

Transcripts now finish processing even when some timing or speaker details arrive incomplete. Media no longer gets stuck during analysis when parts of the speech data are missing.

<a id="2026-07-expanded-webhook-automation-integrations"></a>

### Expanded webhook automation integrations

**Feature** · July 2, 2026

You can now connect outbound webhooks to more automation platforms with simpler setup. Integrations also support more reliable event delivery and push based triggers for faster downstream workflows.

<a id="2026-07-choose-model"></a>

### Pick the AI model for your chat

**Feature** · July 1, 2026

You can now choose which AI model runs your chat from the latest top models, and set a default that sticks. Ask about one file or your whole library with the model you trust.

<a id="2026-07-automations-canvas"></a>

### Automations on a visual canvas

**Feature** · July 1, 2026

Automations got their biggest upgrade yet. You build a workflow on a visual canvas and Speak runs it for you. New triggers fire when a file finishes, a field changes, or a webhook comes in. You can add filter and branch steps, send alerts by email, Slack, or in the app, and review a full run history with test runs.

<a id="2026-07-integrations"></a>

### A rebuilt integrations page

**Feature** · July 1, 2026

We rebuilt the integrations page so you can connect in a couple of clicks. Link tools like Gmail, Slack, Notion, and Google Docs so Speak can act inside your automations. Sync Slack, Google Calendar, Outlook, Vimeo, and the Chrome extension, and connect Speak to ChatGPT, Claude, or Claude Code with one link.

<a id="2026-07-android-recorder"></a>

### A new recorder app for Android

**Feature** · July 1, 2026

The new Speak mobile app is live on Android. You can record any conversation with no login and fully offline, whether it is a meeting, a call, or a chat in the field. Everything syncs to your workspace once you enter your recorder code.

<a id="2026-07-faster-chat"></a>

[Open Chat →](https://app.speakai.co/chat/history)

### Attach files to AI chat

**Improvement** · June 15, 2026
