A Smarter AI Chat
AI Chat now works like a familiar general-purpose assistant while giving you control over the workspace material it can use.
- Add individual documents, folders, research, Mythos entities, a full manuscript, or an entire workspace.
- The previous "@" mention system has been removed and replaced with the new Add menu.
- Turn on workspace Search when you want Scribeist to find relevant passages.
- Combine added context and Search in the same request.
- Continue long chats with automatic conversation compaction.
- Choose attachments, writing voices, and AI models
AI Summaries for Documents
Documents can now have a compact AI summary for use in Chat.
- Write an AI summary yourself or generate one from the document.
- Choose between the summary and Full text when adding a document to Chat.
Mythos AI Visibility
Mythos profiles now include AI Visibility controls.
- Choose which profile fields AI Chat is allowed to receive.
- Configure visibility for characters, locations, and other Mythos entities.
More AI Models

Reading, Focus, and Split View
There are now more ways to work with long-form writing:
- Reading mode: Read a Novel workspace as one continuous manuscript or a paginated book preview.
- Focus mode: Hide the toolbar, dim inactive paragraphs, and keep your writing position centered.
- Split view: Open two documents/canvases side by side to compare chapters, notes, or research..
Redesigned Version History
Version history has a new layout that makes previous drafts easier to manage.
Better Markdown Pasting
