Open evidence takes you to the record. The preview is bounded to available Evidence; it does not claim complete source coverage.\n\nCreate and revise Idea plans through the API\n\nThe Ideas API can read a native plan and create unanswered, unassigned questions, or revise authored Brief wording with version guards. Use the existing ideas:read and ideas:write scopes in the API key’s workspace. This does not generate an AI Brief or answer or assign questions.\n\n- Ideas API reference: https://zentrik.ai/docs/api/ideas\n\nKeep source limits visible\n\nCommunity source revisions retain their identity, dates and original context; reimporting the same revision does not create another saved revision. Capture and analysis remain deferred, and old snapshots do not change. Supported research responses can remain in the week’s Brief when a sibling proposal or date is unsupported; the Brief keeps the source date and shows the remaining evidence gap.\n\nFind the speaker schedule\n\nThe public speaker page groups confirmed appearances by year and separates past appearances. Entries without dates stay out of the structured event data.\n\n- Speaker schedule: https://zentrik.ai/speakers\n\nMore in this release\n\nOther updates\n\n- The assistant preview keeps the original opener and focus as you inspect a bounded Evidence record.\n- Study participation begins only after an explicit start; the prototype Home study remains a draft.\n- The public homepage and Aha mappings use clearer copy and populated, editable fields.\n\nCanonical page: https://zentrik.ai/releases/v1-58-6\n", "date_published": "2026-10-26T00:00:00Z", "image": "https://zentrik.ai/images/product-demos/assistant-evidence-preview-source/assistant-evidence-preview-source-light.png" }, { "id": "https://zentrik.ai/releases/v1-58-5", "url": "https://zentrik.ai/releases/v1-58-5", "title": "v1.58.5: Keep product decisions connected to customer evidence", "summary": "Review the full history behind each Knowledge answer, open prepared customer context faster, and inspect Evidence alongside the work it can inform.", "content_text": "Keep product decisions connected to customer evidence\n\nv1.58.5 · Released 2026-10-25\n\nReview the full history behind each Knowledge answer, open prepared customer context faster, and inspect Evidence alongside the work it can inform.\n\nWhat changed\n\n- See one latest Knowledge answer per question and open its complete source history.\n- Start a prepared workspace from its customer evidence map and team ask.\n- Inspect Evidence and its source while keeping the selected work and relationship in view.\n\nOpen the source behind a Knowledge answer\n\nKnowledge Sources shows one latest answer for each question.

Failed reads stay explicit and can be retried.\n\nKeep the chosen work beside its Evidence\n\nWhen attaching Evidence, the chosen Idea or Opportunity stays beside the readable claims and original source. New attachments start at Context; an existing link keeps its saved relationship and origin. Failed or partial saves keep the case for recovery, while completed links refresh the related work.\n\nImport the matching CRM scope across pages\n\nIn Accounts → Import accounts, Salesforce and HubSpot select the full matching scope across pages. Selections and exclusions persist across pages, and uncertain matches remain for review. Imports run in serial batches of 50 while the browser stays open.

Review answer shows the proposed destination and exact update before Apply & close changes saved Knowledge. Workspace writers can contribute; Viewers can inspect. Assignment sends no email, and gaps are captured explicitly rather than found automatically.\n\nCatch up on the Ideas that changed\n\nIn Definition → Ideas, choose Updated since your review to compare saved title, priority and description changes. Mark displayed updates reviewed acknowledges only that version for you; newer edits stay pending. Your own manual edits and technical updates remain in Recent history. Older events may lack saved values, long previews are labelled, and relationship-only edits are outside this view.\n\nDecide how an external change affects each product\n\nUse Track changes in Research, add reviewed findings to Discovery, then open Responses to assess each affected product. Keep an owner, next action and accepted dates beside the source. Amendments or withdrawals ask for another review while the accepted decision stays in effect. Public research can miss changes and sends no deadline reminders; applicability, deadlines and Jira updates remain human decisions.\n\nSave one shared Huddle draft\n\nIn Huddle Customize, Apply settings previews widget choices and Save layout saves the full shared tab for the named team. Cancel discards layout and widget edits together; a failed save preserves the draft. Readers retain saved decisions and context, while routing and Send remain editor actions.\n\n- Customize your Huddle: /docs/product/customize-huddle\n\nMore in this release\n\nCustomer context and Studies\n\n- Aha! organization matches need confirmed identity; weak or conflicting matches wait in Unlinked sources.\n- Aha! field suggestions prefill the proposed mapping; weak matches wait for a person, and source names stay attached to Accounts.\n- Zendesk overlaps recent import windows and respects shared rate-limit holds. Gong keeps product scope and recognizable call titles.\n- Imported Gong calls can be added directly to Studies. People-directory audience sources now save correctly.\n- Draft AI-guided Studies expose Fixed questions and Adaptive conversation beside Interview plan; Discuss this concept needs an explanation before launch.\n- Workspace admins can grant Manage studies and panels or Read every team explicitly. Existing teams remain members-only until visibility changes.\n- Team Admins manage their team’s people; workspace role changes and Viewer promotion remain with workspace admins.\n- Saved People support in-place inspection. Unresolved participants stay plain text.\n\nReview, Value and reliability\n\n- Value can assume missing ARR from a team figure or the median of at least three active customers with ARR. Assumed rows are labelled; explicit zero stays zero.\n- Value totals include unlisted accounts. Unanswered levels disclose their mix, and payback waits for a build cost.\n- Research Answers sit beside the question list; Plan has its own view. View evidence returns to the reviewed run’s current Evidence, not a frozen snapshot.\n- Insights stay primary in the feed; loose Evidence has its own lane, and Evidence role edits preserve source and downstream links.\n- Idea Comments sit under Definition. Evaluations ask for another reviewer once work exists.\n- API and MCP reads expose recoverable definition slices, evidence origins and semantic-search coverage. Continuation rejects a changed Idea.\n- Account review decisions remain durable and available through the API. The switcher searches teams and workspaces together.\n- Scheduled research retries, document writing, Brief settings and connected work recover more clearly from service interruptions.\n\nCanonical page: https://zentrik.ai/releases/v1-58-1-1-58-2\n", "date_published": "2026-10-24T00:00:00Z", "image": "https://zentrik.ai/images/product-demos/product-knowledge-answer-review/product-knowledge-answer-review-light.png" }, { "id": "https://zentrik.ai/releases/v1-58-0", "url": "https://zentrik.ai/releases/v1-58-0", "title": "v1.58.0: Huddle automation and scoped customer imports", "summary": "Bring current cycles and milestone work from several Linear teams into Huddle.

Summaries remain secondary context, and live arrival re-fetches meetings under current permissions. HubSpot company imports can use lifecycle-stage filters and up to five conditions on company properties. Selections above 10,000 companies fail explicitly; existing accounts and links remain. An optional Salesforce fallback can check unresolved company matches, and it is off by default.\n\nReview evidence before acting\n\nZendesk ticket analysis checks the requester's own words for a product need, defect, or real difficulty before it writes Evidence. Readiness shows the score before drafting the remaining answers, and known responses quote the source paragraph in plain text. Competitor-table imports recognize column headers and let reviewers exclude pasted rows before saving.\n\nKeep planning changes reviewable\n\nIdeas and initiatives share one close-out flow, with product-knowledge changes that remain drafts until a person applies them. People Value estimates depend on their recorded assumptions and tests, and show costs and uncertainty. Linked assistant questions open as editable unsent drafts in a new conversation. Source-aware answers depend on connected workspace sources.

The assessment is Zentrik's sourced comparison, not an independent rating.\n\n- Compare product tools: /compare\n\nKeep assistant context and citations usable\n\nWorkspace Assistant can recover the exact text of saved conversations and open Evidence citations at their source records. Broad Evidence analysis uses bounded reads from up to the newest 1,000 records; saved findings last 24 hours.

Put full URLs in sourceLinks.\n\nFind Signals by meaning\n\nSearch Discovery for Signals and Insights by words, IDs or meaning. A related Signal can appear even when it uses different words from your query, alongside matching Insights. Meaning search uses an embedding call and skips the meaning pass if it fails or takes more than three seconds. Account-name matching needs a query word of at least three letters.\n\n- Discovery search: /docs/product/customer-evidence-to-initiatives\n\nReview evidence behind a trend\n\nThe experimental Home Loop shows recent Signal trends. Preview a trending Insight to see its Evidence and contributing Accounts before you open it. The Home Loop is a separate preview at /home/loop; the existing Home page is unchanged. The preview uses the evidence available to your workspace.\n\nKeep Huddle asks in view\n\nHuddle puts blockers first in Need help, followed by overdue asks and then the oldest ask. Move between weeks with the week control, and use calendar-day ages to understand how long an ask has waited. Past weeks remain read-only; current-week actions depend on your team role.\n\nMore in this release\n\nFiltered Signal pages keep their filters, totals and pagination with less query-planning overhead. Invalid Signal source IDs are checked before an import creates records or jobs; keep IDs within 255 characters and put full URLs in sourceLinks.

The “This year” figure covers the next twelve months. The range depends on available customer evidence, commercial records and ship timing. It is an estimate for review, not promised revenue. Use the contributions and the question beneath them to check what the estimate rests on.\n\n- Idea Value and product terms: /docs/product/customer-evidence-to-initiatives\n\nAsk what customers keep raising\n\nAsk the assistant what recent support tickets and calls are about. It groups them by the insights already in your workspace, counts each theme and quotes the newest customer who raised it, with a link to the ticket or call. Ask a follow-up about the answer on screen, or ask it to trace an insight back to the signals, Accounts, opportunities and ideas behind it. Answers start sooner, and every record an answer names opens inside your workspace. The answer reflects the evidence your workspace holds; open the linked sources before you act on it.\n\nRead what teams are waiting on\n\nIn Huddle → All teams, open the teams that need help to see blockers, decisions, owners and expected dates together. Past weeks are read-only. For the current week, team editors and admins can assign or resolve asks. Workspace Owners and Admins can act when they belong to that team. Met counts recorded Huddle work; opening a Huddle alone does not count as a meeting.\n\nReview requests before importing\n\nBring Notion request tables or pages, and Salesforce product gaps, into Ideas with requester and Account context. Review the field mapping and existing-Idea matches before importing. In Discovery, choose Bring in evidence → Ideas you already track. The source must be accessible through the connected provider account. Notion reads the tables and pages shared with Zentrik; Salesforce product gaps keep their linked deal context.\n\n- Notion setup and imports: /docs/integrations/notion\n- Salesforce setup: /docs/integrations/salesforce\n\nKeep survey reporting within its source scope\n\nSurveyMonkey adds saved daily and historical imports, scoped NPS reporting and reviewed Account matching. Availability depends on provider access and approval. Select the connection, survey, question and Product for each report. Account matching stays reviewable, and anonymous or ambiguous responses are preserved. Account history shows the latest 50 receipts in the selected scope.\n\n- SurveyMonkey setup and limits: /docs/integrations/surveymonkey\n\nMore in this release\n\nConversations and voice\n\n- Resume your own saved assistant conversations from the header, with named record links in follow-ups.\n- Live transcription shows words while you speak again, and spoken or pasted feedback carries a clearer source label.\n\nConnections and review\n\n- Aha! imports retain comments and proxy-vote context, and can fill a missing customer requester without replacing one already set.\n- HubSpot setup is limited to workspace Owners and Admins. A revoked provider grant asks for reconnection without signing you out of Zentrik.\n- Review uncertain Product Feature suggestions under an Idea’s Related features.

Change or remove the schedule before dispatch.\n- Review equally ranked Decision Lab bets, their reasons and evidence, then choose a follow-up for yourself to review and send.\n- Inspect clearer source identity and quote context in Discovery, and use fuller scoped Context reads in Workspace Chat.\n\nSchedule a reviewed email campaign\n\nAdmin can schedule a reviewed email campaign batch for a chosen date, time and one named time zone. Change or remove the schedule before dispatch. A worker checks for due sends once a minute; actual inbox arrival can take longer.\n\nReview the Decision Lab slate\n\nWorkspace Chat shows Decision Lab results as equally ranked bets with readable reasons, linked ideas and accounts, and one confidence basis. Expand a bet to review its evidence and choose Review gaps, Draft opportunity or Drop. Close calls appear under Set aside. Follow-ups enter the composer for you to review and send; the interface does not commit a decision for you.\n\nInspect source and Context details\n\nDiscovery reviews can show a source's native rating and date, variant and provenance. A quote links to a contiguous original passage only when that source text is available; this does not verify generated wording. Workspace Context reads return full scoped bodies and mark any omissions. The assistant must fully read an omitted unit before it can call the context complete. Review cited sources because fuller retrieval does not prove an answer is correct.\n\nSet up workspaces and recover connections\n\nFirst-run guidance supports typed or spoken setup. Workspace setup is available through the API and CLI. Connected imports can recover a broken connection in place while keeping its known context. Viewer consent and saved-import key grants follow explicit scopes, and CLI reads respect server retry guidance.\n\nKeep Studies independent from Ideas Portal\n\nTeams can run Studies independently of an enabled Ideas Portal, with separate branding and friendly participant addresses. Existing links and workspace sign-in checks continue to work. This release did not test a customer identity provider.\n\nMore in this release\n\nHome and planning\n\n- The Home map remains optional; the native Home page stays the default.\n- Decision Lab keeps within its time budget and makes its ranked actions and comparison reasons easier to review.\n- Huddle and evidence models are updated. Members still review any proposed plan change before it is saved.\n\nAssistant and documents\n\n- Assistant turns record their outcomes, and answer typography stays with its answer.\n- Save a tailored document template without supplying a name or description.\n\nResearch and public labs\n\n- Compare text models in Public Labs while Responses stays off by default.\n- Research models and Study presentation have been updated. Review generated findings before relying on them.\n\nReliability\n\n- Onboarding and drafting models are updated, and stalled provider attempts can retry within the request time limit.\n- Connection and database recovery has improved. Deterministic job failures stop instead of repeating.\n\nCanonical page: https://zentrik.ai/releases/v1-49-0\n", "date_published": "2026-10-12T00:00:00Z", "image": "https://zentrik.ai/images/product-demos/campaign-schedule-reviewed-batch/campaign-schedule-reviewed-batch-light.png" }, { "id": "https://zentrik.ai/releases/v1-48-0", "url": "https://zentrik.ai/releases/v1-48-0", "title": "v1.48.0: Search evidence and choose clearer next steps", "summary": "Search stored Evidence by meaning or exact words, inspect Assistant turn receipts, and choose a customer-backed idea before making it an Initiative.", "content_text": "Search evidence and choose clearer next steps\n\nv1.48.0 · Released 2026-10-11\n\nSearch stored Evidence by meaning or exact words, inspect Assistant turn receipts, and choose a customer-backed idea before making it an Initiative.\n\nWhat changed\n\n- Search stored Evidence by meaning or exact text, then inspect the records and results used in an Assistant turn.\n- Start an empty Initiatives list from an Idea or Insight backed by customer feedback, with a member choosing before commit.\n- Compare store ratings with an earlier completed Research run while keeping answers and themes on the immediately previous run.\n\nSearch Evidence and inspect Assistant turns\n\nSearch stored Evidence by meaning or exact words. The Assistant shows which record a turn used, lists record changes with their outcomes, and explains why it stopped. It qualifies incomplete retrieval. Write actions require your approval.\n\nChoose an Idea before making it an Initiative\n\nWhen a team has no Initiatives, the page can suggest an Idea or Insight with customer feedback behind it. A curated quote appears when available. A team member chooses before the item becomes an Initiative.\n\nCompare store ratings across Research runs\n\nResearch reports let you compare store ratings with any earlier completed run that saved ratings. Answers and themes continue to compare with the immediately previous run.\n\nEmail, imports, and reliability\n\nAdmin Email can save audiences and apply contact exclusions when you prepare product updates. Delivery rechecks the current rules and the audience criteria you reviewed. SurveyMonkey's existing response import is easier to find in the integration catalogue and Discovery. New connections remain limited until the provider approves the app; existing connected workspaces can continue importing. Invitation email budgets now follow the workspace plan. Results explain paused email counts and when an administrator can retry.\n\nReview Ideas and recover reads\n\nThe Idea source reader shows original material and identifies its source. Customer-facing wording needs review before publication. Roadmap reads retry one recognized transient connection failure. The app does not repeat writes. We patched security issues in the template and optional MCP client dependencies.\n\nMore in this release\n\nAccounts and Evidence\n\n- Account lists now handle large workspaces more efficiently while keeping filters, totals, ordering, and visibility rules.\n- Signal searches reuse current Account and Evidence relationships instead of recalculating them for every result.\n\nCanonical page: https://zentrik.ai/releases/v1-48-0\n", "date_published": "2026-10-11T00:00:00Z", "image": "https://zentrik.ai/images/product-demos/initiative-first-commitment/initiative-first-commitment-light.png" }, { "id": "https://zentrik.ai/releases/v1-47-0", "url": "https://zentrik.ai/releases/v1-47-0", "title": "v1.47.0: Review weekly research and team work", "summary": "Initiative Review brings recorded work into one weekly view, while App Store research can group new reviews into counted themes.", "content_text": "Review weekly research and team work\n\nv1.47.0 · Released 2026-10-08\n\nInitiative Review brings recorded work into one weekly view, while App Store research can group new reviews into counted themes.\n\nWhat changed\n\n- Review weekly Initiative work by team, owner, or customer, then open the records behind each count.\n- Group five or more new App Store reviews into counted themes and inspect the source reviews.\n- Admins can review campaign content and eligible recipients before preparing tests and dispatch.\n\nReview the week in one place\n\nOpen Review from an Initiative to see its Studies, responses, Evidence, Delivery, decisions, and recorded needs.

These views reflect recorded work.\n\nFind patterns in App Store reviews\n\nWhen a research run reads at least five new App Store reviews, it can group them into counted problems, requests, and praise. Compare themes with the previous run and open the source reviews behind a theme. The themes describe that sample; they do not represent overall customer sentiment.\n\nReview campaigns before dispatch\n\nAdmins can review uploaded email content and eligible recipients, freeze a batch, and prepare tests before dispatch. Dispatch is limited to recipients confirmed as queued. The release review did not dispatch a campaign or check inbox delivery.\n\nMore in this release\n\nHome and connected work\n\n- Home separates active delivery from completed work.

If a reviewed input changes, Zentrik asks you to review the new version first. Existing protection against duplicate or uncertain launches remains in place.\n\nCompare prototypes in Gallery and Table\n\nOpen Validation, then Prototypes, to compare linked prototypes as cards or rows. Filters and page size stay in the URL, and pagination remains visible while results scroll.\n\nCopy a draft Study link\n\nFor a portal-based draft Study, copy its participant link before launch. Copying does not publish the Study or send an invitation. The companion portal release 1.34.1 is deployed and checked first; private drafts remain unavailable to participants.\n\nTry public labs with a recorded sample\n\nJev and Hot or Not show useful sample flows when live analysis is off. Choosing a sample displays its recorded result; a photo preview stays in your browser. Live analysis still needs configured access and your explicit consent.\n\nMore in this release\n\nPlanning and reliability\n\n- Failed Persona edits keep the browser draft. Zentrik confirms only values the server saved before you leave the page.\n- Scheduled session refresh can recover from temporary failures with capped retries, then stops after invalidation or cleanup.\n- Invalid MCP tool inputs now return bounded correction guidance. Rejected calls still do not run, and authorization checks remain in place.\n\nProduct guidance and upkeep\n\n- The homepage carries one example from the first ticket through the next signal. Phone and reduced-motion layouts keep a complete static story.\n- Sample mode for the Jev and Hot or Not labs makes no live provider request; a live photo or call requires explicit consent when live access is available.\n- The release also updates selected security and browser dependencies and clarifies public integration and participant guides.\n\nCanonical page: https://zentrik.ai/releases/v1-44-1\n", "date_published": "2026-10-05T00:00:00Z", "image": "https://zentrik.ai/images/releases/v1.44.1/prototypes-table-light.png" }, { "id": "https://zentrik.ai/releases/v1-44-0", "url": "https://zentrik.ai/releases/v1-44-0", "title": "v1.44.0: A clearer Home and more control over imports", "summary": "Find the next action from Home, choose the size of your first import, and keep saved planning work intact as it changes.", "content_text": "A clearer Home and more control over imports\n\nv1.44.0 · Released 2026-10-04\n\nFind the next action from Home, choose the size of your first import, and keep saved planning work intact as it changes.\n\nWhat changed\n\n- Follow the work from discovery through delivery, with current-cycle progress on Home.\n- Set source scope, product routing and a smaller first batch before importing.\n- Find older Insights when the default window is empty, while keeping your filters.\n- Keep local task edits and reviewed execution agents through updates and retries.\n\nStart with the next useful action\n\nHome now groups work into Discover, Define, Validate and Deliver, with Context alongside them. Open Studies or Prototypes from Validate. Delivery shows the current cycle and its completed tasks; GitHub pull requests remain available as shortcuts.\n\nChoose what comes in first\n\nFirst import setup separates source scope, product routing and run controls. Automatic product routing is the default; choose a fixed product when you need one. For Zendesk, Zoom and Fathom, Per run lets you choose a smaller batch. This limit applies to one run, not the total history you can import. Detailed setup keeps your supported scope, routing, limit and cadence choices.\n\n- Set up Zendesk imports: /docs/integrations/zendesk\n\nLook beyond an empty month\n\nWhen the default 30-day Insights feed is empty, Zentrik checks 90 days and then 1 year, stopping when it finds results. Other filters stay in place, and a date range you choose takes precedence. A dismissible notice explains the expanded range; a failed request stops the search.\n\nKeep reviewed planning work\n\nManual initiative task batches now save together, and Jira or Linear refreshes preserve locally managed task fields. Story deletions from initiative chat appear in activity history. Save an edited execution plan before generating agents. Replacing saved agents requires confirmation, and a launch with an unknown outcome stays on hold for review.\n\nMore in this release\n\nNavigation and review\n\n- Opportunities opens in Tree. Choose Tree, List or Themes from the toolbar; existing links to a specific view keep their meaning.\n- Knowledge navigation now lists Products, Accounts, Objectives and Context. The collapsed Products picker includes All products.\n- Idea readiness uses Evidence support, Problem clarity and Solution clarity; the underlying scores are unchanged.\n\nEvidence and connections\n\n- Narratives use explicitly accepted evidence, and Knowledge checks quotes against source text. You still need to review whether the evidence supports the conclusion.\n- MCP connections handle verified Claude host metadata and identify replacement actions more clearly. Existing roles and consent still apply.\n- Jira setup checks project access before offering an import; reconnect when access is rejected.\n\nCanonical page: https://zentrik.ai/releases/v1-44-0\n", "date_published": "2026-10-04T00:00:00Z", "image": "https://zentrik.ai/images/releases/v1.44.0/home-delivery-observed-light.png" }, { "id": "https://zentrik.ai/releases/v1-43-0", "url": "https://zentrik.ai/releases/v1-43-0", "title": "v1.43.0: Clearer discovery and safer planning", "summary": "Carry record context into discovery chat, review bounded import progress, and approve objective measures only after you review them.", "content_text": "Clearer discovery and safer planning\n\nv1.43.0 · Released 2026-10-04\n\nCarry record context into discovery chat, review bounded import progress, and approve objective measures only after you review them.\n\nWhat changed\n\n- Open discovery chat with the current record in context and follow customer signals toward ideas.\n- See Jira scope and progress, and run bounded Pendo history imports with recovery controls.\n- Review objective and measure drafts before a permission-checked acceptance saves them.\n\nKeep discovery work in context\n\nOpen chat from a discovery record with that record in context, then follow Signal learnings toward related ideas.

Pendo history runs use three-day windows and a shared limit of 25 new, retried, or processing Signals. Gong retries use a 24-hour overlap for late transcripts; an older failed call needs an explicit retry.\n\n- Jira integration guide: /docs/integrations/jira\n- Pendo integration guide: /docs/integrations/pendo\n- Gong integration guide: /docs/integrations/gong\n\nReview objective measures before saving\n\nDraft objectives and suggested measures stay separate from saved goals. A workspace editor reviews and confirms a proposal before Zentrik accepts it; the permission check and retry guard protect the save. This synthetic example shows a proposal waiting for review, not a live model call or a saved measure.\n\nMore in this release\n\nIdeas and collaboration\n\n- Shared Slack and record links open in their named workspace with an unavailable-record explanation.\n- Help separates AI support conversations from explicit requests to the team.\n\nPlanning and workspace\n\n- Human edits and linked work stay in place through story generation and retries.\n- Undo appears only when the workspace can restore the removed Initiative.\n- The ChatGPT catalog asks for explicit scope consent; publication and installed-client checks remain separate.\n\nCanonical page: https://zentrik.ai/releases/v1-43-0\n", "date_published": "2026-10-04T00:00:00Z", "image": "https://zentrik.ai/images/product-demos/objective-measure-review/objective-measure-review-light.png" }, { "id": "https://zentrik.ai/releases/v1-42-0", "url": "https://zentrik.ai/releases/v1-42-0", "title": "v1.42.0: Study drafts and decision briefs", "summary": "Watch an interview guide take shape, use authorized Zentrik tools from modern MCP clients, and review read-only decision briefs in ChatGPT.", "content_text": "Study drafts and decision briefs\n\nv1.42.0 · Released 2026-10-03\n\nWatch an interview guide take shape, use authorized Zentrik tools from modern MCP clients, and review read-only decision briefs in ChatGPT.\n\nWhat changed\n\n- Watch an AI-guided interview draft form, then edit the completed guide in the same dialog.\n- Connect modern and legacy MCP clients to authorized Zentrik tools with stricter input checks.\n- Review a read-only recommendation in ChatGPT and choose a follow-up that continues the conversation.\n\nReview an interview guide as it forms\n\nIn the Study dialog, an AI-guided interview draft streams into view.

Zentrik does not send invitations; your team copies emails or downloads a CSV and invites people through its own channel. A recent answer counts as prior study input for 14 days. Validation studies hold back people who already gave input on their ideas.\n\n- Study audiences guide: /docs/product/study-audiences\n\nChoose a method and shape the questions\n\nOne chooser offers self-guided, prototype, interview, and AI-guided methods. Optional shared flows carry short answers into surveys, AI interview instructions, and live guides. A short answer can turn “login flows” into “For login flows, what would help most?” Declined or long answers leave the next question plain. Participant surveys use Portal 1.33.0; the AI interview screen stays the same.\n\n- Explore Studies: /docs/product/idea-studies\n- Test a prototype: /docs/product/test-prototype\n\nPlan and expand initiative capacity\n\nThe initiative limit now counts work by status. Scale limits stay available during the setup window. Paid workspaces can buy initiative capacity in the app, and teams can archive initiatives to make room.\n\nFollow customer evidence into ideas\n\nWhen a call has qualifying ideas, its Ideas tab pairs each idea with the evidence excerpt from that call. Open the excerpt, Signal, or idea from the same view. Members with Discovery write access can rename Signals from the inspector or record page. Interview Signals open directly, with a status indicator while processing.\n\nMore in this release\n\nIdeas and support\n\n- Full-page idea overviews show attachments with image and text previews, downloads, and uploads for writers.\n- Support ticket replies can include one PNG, JPEG, WebP, or GIF image up to 10 MB without accompanying text.\n- Idea creation validates linked records within the workspace and saves the idea and its selected links together.\n\nResearch and other updates\n\n- Web research now runs on GPT-6.1 Sol.
