This edition covers October 19–25, 2026. Bring Okou into Discord, move documents and spreadsheets into Google Workspace, and keep chat outputs close with Resources. There are also document templates, expandable JSON previews, a new pyannoteAI connector, and two smaller updates to Wallet and hosted sites. Plus four new reads on people research, team context, startup tools, and event planning.
Discord
Bring Okou into the conversations your team already has. You can now connect Discord from Channels and work with Okou in supported server channels, threads, and bot DMs.
Complete Discord’s consent flow and choose the server you want to connect. Access follows your verified Discord account and channel permissions; you and the bot need access to the conversation you want to use.
Google Docs and Sheets
Turn a generated document or spreadsheet into a native Google file you can edit and share. Open a supported artifact’s Download options and choose Upload to Google Docs or Upload to Google Sheets.
Connect Google Drive and grant the requested access when prompted. Supported inputs include Word, Markdown, and text documents, plus Excel, CSV, and TSV spreadsheets. The original artifact remains available in Okou.
Resources
Keep a chat’s outputs and related conversations within reach. Open Resources in the chat header to browse artifacts and related chats alongside your conversation.
For related chats that have exchanged messages, expand the chat to review those messages and jump to the run associated with one. It gives you a direct route back to a file or handoff during work that spans several conversations.
Document templates
Start your next creative brief, report, contract, or invoice from a ready-made document layout. Open Template → Document, browse by category, and choose a template before adding your instructions.
The gallery shows a visual preview of each layout. Pick the structure that fits your task, then tell Okou the audience, content, and format you need.
JSON tree previews
Explore nested JSON one branch at a time. The new Tree view lets you expand objects and arrays, collapse sections you have checked, and switch to Source to read the original file.
Use it to review an API response, a configuration file, or structured research without scrolling through every nested field. This update adds tree navigation to the existing JSON preview.
pyannoteAI
Separate speakers in recorded conversations with the new pyannoteAI connector. It supports batch audio processing with speaker separation and optional transcription, useful for preparing meeting recordings and interviews for review.
Find pyannoteAI in Connectors and add your API key. Audio processing is billed by pyannoteAI and requires provider credits or an active subscription.
Smaller updates
Saved cards in Wallet
After connecting Link, see your saved cards in Wallet settings, including available brand, last-four-digit, and expiration details. Your default card appears first. Manage cards opens Link, and the list refreshes when you return. Each purchase still requires your approval.
Independent site titles
Give a hosted site a readable display title, then ask Okou to rename it without changing its URL. The updated title appears in Chat and Artifacts while the existing link keeps working.
