Billing updates:

  • Premium image tokens are now called “Premium tokens”. Premium tokens are drawn down when you create images, music, video or use other premium MCPs that require payment.
  • Automatic recharge option is now available on all plans including workspaces, when you are out of tokens your payment method is automatically billed for a specific recharge amount (note: this must be enabled and is not on by default)
  • You can now limit input and output tokens by user role or at an individual level for workspace customers, to do this go to Members > Ellipsis Menu > 
  • All plans now offer monthly and annual billing excluding family plans (will add monthly to family plans eventually)
  • You can now try a workspace with your team for 7 days (requires approval and verification)

Known issues:

  • Screen share will only work in the tab you initiated it from and not in other tabs when you switch
  • Voice mode and voice read back have been temporarily disabled. This is because we ran out of time to ship much needed improvements when operating voice across tabs. We will release updates to voice in a patch soon.
  • Focus modes sometimes don’t open, this issue is being investigated. The solution is to just refresh the page.
  • Some MCP connections may lose their authentication token and get into an error state. If an MCP is failing, check the state on the manage screen and use “Test connection” to try and resolve. If this does not resolve the issue, remove the connection and reconnect. 
  • Retry on failed MCP skills does not currently work. It will appear to work but it’s not implemented and will be soon.
  • Google has not yet approved our oAuth submission which means we are still in test mode. This means you will need to request approval before connecting to Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs etc. once approved this process will be normal oAuth (we expect approval soon).
  • Assistant knowledge file statuses are broken and will say “Processing” even when they have been processed.
  • Text knowledge on assistants is not functioning.
  • YouTube and Web Crawl will soon be updating to use Firecrawl and the new YouTube MCP but are currently (at time of release) using the old less reliable skills.
