Typing suggestions in your chat apps — and proactive suggestions that explain themselves
Suggestions while you type
- When you reply in a watched chat app, a few completion candidates now appear next to the input box as you type: pick one with a number key, accept with Tab, or just keep typing and they disappear.
- The input box gets a subtle outline with the recognised conversation name beside it — so you can confirm it has the right person before accepting (requires the latest device version).
Proactive suggestions you can actually understand
- A suggestion card is no longer a bare one-liner. It now says what it noticed, what it suggests you do, and why it's worth doing now — expandable for more detail, so you never have to guess which thing it means.
- In hint mode, pressing Tab now inserts the draft straight into your input box (it used to jump you to the settings page).
- New "Suggestion log" in settings: review what was suggested recently and whether you took it.
- First-run setup is now a full-screen, three-step walkthrough. The app picker lists your installed apps with icons, sorted by most recently used — no more typing app names by hand. Settings uses the same picker, and you can drag a .app straight in.
- The whole Proactive Engine settings page has been rebuilt, with the jargon replaced by plain language.
Cleaning up your to-do list
- Dismiss a single item, or bulk-clear everything that's gone stale or is already done. Cleared items don't come back and aren't counted again.
- To-dos now correctly show who asked you and what the prepared draft looks like (previously the whole page read "Unknown contact / No draft" — requires the latest device version).
Remembering what you're working on
- New toggle (Settings → Proactive Engine): when on, the work context it observes on screen is distilled into long-term memory, so later conversations can pick up where things left off. On by default while the Proactive Engine is enabled; you can turn it off any time.
- What it saw on screen and what you told it yourself are labelled separately — the two never get mixed up.
Tidier memory
- The memory page is now grouped by domain: drill down level by level, or change which domain a memory belongs to. Anything unclassified is collected at the bottom for you to sort out.
Conversations show where they came from
- Each conversation is now tagged by origin — started by you, triggered by a proactive suggestion, from the Office add-in, or from a scheduled task.
Office add-in
- New certificate helper: if the add-in won't open because its certificate expired, one click in settings fixes it, and it renews automatically on every launch from now on (previously a manual reinstall).
- Fixed PowerPoint actions failing across the board due to a name mismatch.
Improvements & fixes
- Mac: fixed a ~30-second hang on macOS 26 every time the current window was identified.
- Device Wi-Fi setup: fixed wrapped buttons and long network names overflowing the dialog in narrow windows.
- Floating bar: on Windows it no longer sticks to the cursor after snapping to the top edge; the background badge now follows your language setting.
- Preview panel tabs survive a restart; fixed local file paths opening incorrectly and PowerPoint charts not rendering.
- Cancelling a scheduled task now actually stops it.
- Windows: opening an app whose name contains
$ no longer fails.
- Thinking-effort levels now reflect what each model actually supports, so you can't pick one that does nothing.
- Removed the defunct "HTTP API service" status block from settings.
