Release v5.17.10
Operator & AI
-
Operator now gives clear, direct answers, no more internal tool names or code symbols leaking into responses, and no more inventing capabilities it doesn't have.
-
Ask Operator to update, assign, or link a goal or action and it can now make the change directly, checking with you first when a request is ambiguous or would affect a lot of items at once.
-
Operator responds faster and never goes silent: you'll see it start working within about a second on every request.
-
Operator can now read the actual transcript of a meeting you ask about and link you straight to it.
-
Ask Operator to find time and book a meeting, from Slack, Microsoft Teams, or the web.
-
Operator remembers what it already told you, so it won't repeat itself or contradict a message it just sent.
-
Attaching a file to a conversation no longer locks Operator into a single flow, it keeps following the rest of what you ask.
-
Fixed an issue where Operator would incorrectly claim it couldn't see an attached file or update a goal's type.
-
Operator chat no longer dead-ends with a "that turn got cut off" error.
Slack & Microsoft Teams
-
@-mention Brev in a Slack channel or Teams chat and get a direct answer, with full awareness of the surrounding conversation.
-
Brev keeps following a Slack thread it's already answering in, and reacts to acknowledge a message before replying.
-
Teams DMs now get a typing indicator and the same conversational memory Slack DMs already have.
-
Brev can now send a Slack DM to a teammate on your behalf when you ask it to.
-
Slack replies are now just the answer and a link, no more behind-the-scenes narration mixed into the message.
-
Brev now correctly turns Slack IDs into real names and pings, and reads a public Slack channel's context around a mention rather than only its own thread.
-
Privacy: Brev will not surface private conversation content in a public channel, and only reads from channels it's actually a member of.
Meetings
- Fixed meeting action items sometimes being assigned to the wrong person when two attendees share a name.
Goals & Views
-
Fixed bulk-select on the goals list.
-
A new lateral alignment layout (horizontal goal cards connected with wavy lines) is available as a third way to view alignment.
-
Goal validation now runs consistently everywhere a goal can be saved, so a goal can no longer be saved missing its required metric details.
-
Fixed a stall when navigating into the goals view.
-
Fixed an AI summary occasionally showing an older version's sources under a newer version's summary.
Check-ins
- The Slack check-in form is simpler to fill out: fewer ways to accidentally exit, a footer that saves and moves you forward, and a progress bar you can now nudge up or down directly.
Settings & Branding
-
You can now edit a member's job title directly from the org membership table.
-
Fixed the "Meet with Brev" button and the org logo/name display in a few places where they weren't behaving correctly.
Stability & Performance
-
Fixed a page-size error that could interrupt cadence pages from loading.
-
Fixed a case where Operator's response could silently drop content and get padded with filler.
-
General loading-state and first-paint polish across Operator and the sidebar.
