Create Word files, spreadsheets and complex diagrams from chat
Two new capabilities for the agent this release, plus a refresh of how chats are found. The agent can now run code and hand you the result as a real file: a chart, a Word document, a spreadsheet, a quick analysis. Questions about figures, complex diagrams, scatter plots, gel images, dense tables, get much better answers. And chats are easier to come back to, with pinning, Cmd-K title search, and a URL per chat you can bookmark or share.
The agent can build files for you now
Ask for a chart from a dataset in your library, a Word document with your findings, a quick analysis, a spreadsheet, a LaTeX export. Each comes back as a file attached to the message, available on every plan as of May 15.
Much sharper answers on complex figures and tables
The agent handles complex visuals from your library much better now. Ask about something like a UMAP plot, a flow cytometry scatter, a gel image, a Western blot, or a dense data table from a paper, and the answer pulls from the specific colors, layouts, axis values, and marks in the figure. Table extraction and OCR-handling are tighter too, so scanned and OCR'd PDFs hand back cleaner structure for tables, printed page numbers, and figure captions.
Making chats easier to find
Three changes that work together. You can now pin any chat to the top of the sidebar from its dropdown menu. Cmd-K search now searches across all your chat titles, surfacing pinned chats by default and filtering live as you type. And every chat has its own URL: open a chat and the address bar updates with a link to that chat, so you can bookmark it, share it in Slack, or deep-link straight back into a thread from a note.
