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.
