Hey everyone,

We have hear your feedbacks and have some quality of life improvement.

We've shipped a meaningful upgrade to the Reuse function, and it changes how you iterate on your work.

The Problem We Solved

Before, when you used Reuse, it would clear everything and start fresh. That meant losing context, losing snippets, losing momentum. You'd have to manually rebuild what you'd already created.

Not anymore.

What's New: Append Instead of Replace

The Reuse tool now appends new context instead of clearing previous content. This means you can:

  • Stack insights from multiple conversations without losing prior work

  • Iterate faster by building on what you've already generated

  • Keep your momentum instead of starting from scratch each time

Go to Quick Actions and type Reuse, or just use the keyboard shortcut ⌘K.

Real-World Example: Multiple Meeting Reports

Running customer discovery calls? Record your first Zoom meeting Monday and get an instant summary with key takeaways. Wednesday, append your second call's summary to the first using Reuse—no need to start fresh. By Friday, after your third meeting, you've stacked all three insights into one unified document showing common pain points, recurring feature requests, and emerging themes.

Without Reuse, you'd manually copy-paste between conversations, losing time and context.

With Reuse, each new meeting automatically layers onto your growing intelligence, creating a single source of truth ready to share with your team or inform your product roadmap.

What Else We Shipped

While we were at it, we also added:

  • New audio settings: Silencing option (instead of ducking) and ability to disable the chime sound

  • Bifrost support: Custom endpoints now work with Bifrost

  • Better window management: Forked windows now offset for clearer visibility

  • Stability across the board: Audio crashes fixed, transcription improvements, scheduling refinements, and dozens of UI polish touches
