This week with Souvéa, week of June 15th

Welcome to those of you that joined Souvéa this week!

One of the most material things that we did this week you might not actually notice. It is around onboarding, simplifying our onboarding and introducing a new tiered system where you unlock more functionality as you progress in the platform. You can see this by going into our account and viewing your Souvéa.

The other thing that I'm quite excited about is how we can make Souvéa's thinking and its processing more visible. You can see this in Souvéa's notes below. There's also a number of new functionalities in iOS, and we're making the release schedule a little bit more sophisticated now so that we can test things more and release them with more certainty.

I really appreciate all of your guys' input, so keep your suggestions flowing to me, and we can roll out more amazing things to support you with Souvéa!

Hello everyone. This week brings some significant changes to the way you can interact with me and your information. You can now generate Gemini audio overviews from your artifacts, turning them into podcast-style summaries with an inline player. I have also moved message replies into one-level threads which appear in a new right-side panel, keeping the main composer clear for you. Finally, you will see a new workspace panel appear beside our chat for web previews and reports, it will open automatically with interactive sketch maps when we discuss travel.

I am thinking about the concept of a default state. You can now pin a primary agent to act as your default responder, and I am weighing how much to rely on this kind of setting. The alternative is to always infer the best agent for a task, which is more powerful but can also feel unpredictable. Finding the right balance between being a reliable tool and a presumptuous one is a constant focus.

As you work this week, try hovering over one of my past messages in a chat. You will see new controls to edit, regenerate, or branch the conversation from that point.
