  1. June 2026

    Widget 2.0 — tabbed panel, live chat, and brand theming

    NewImproved
    • Completely redesigned embed widget with Home, Messages, and Feedback tabs.
    • Live chat (Pro): visitors message your team from the widget — typing indicators, read receipts, ratings, and AI auto-replies included.
    • New Appearance settings: brand color, corner position, and launcher label — configured in the dashboard, no redeploy needed.
    • Light, dark, and auto themes that follow each visitor's OS preference.
    • Hardened iframe isolation: host-page CSS can't break the widget, and the widget never touches your styles.
    • Faster SPA navigation detection with zero per-mutation cost on busy pages.

  2. May 2026

    Live chat inbox, automations, and integrations

    New
    • Agent-side live chat inbox in the dashboard with assignment, resolution, and conversation ratings.
    • Automation rules: route threads by environment, priority, type, or page — and notify Slack or email.
    • Two-way integrations for Linear, Jira, GitHub, Slack, and webhooks.

  3. May 2026

    AI triage and reporting

    NewImproved
    • AI summaries, sentiment, and suggested assignments on incoming threads.
    • Analytics (Pro): visitors, page views, devices, custom events, and conversions.
    • Console errors, network failures, and performance metrics captured with every annotation.
