Starting from a blank prompt is officially optional.

We’re introducing Prompt Launchpad, a curated library of 1,659 pre-filled, expert-designed prompts you can run in one click to turn your data into real intelligence, fast.

Instead of guessing how to phrase the “right” question, Prompt Launchpad gives you proven prompt templates organized by role, task, and use case. Pick a prompt, fill in a few variables, and get high-quality results instantly.

What this unlocks

• Faster time to insight: Skip prompt trial-and-error and get structured, professional outputs right away.

• Role-aware results: Prompts are tailored for executives, analysts, writers, researchers, and more, so outputs match how you actually work.

• Consistent quality: Every prompt follows best practices in prompt design, so results are reliable and reusable.

• Easier onboarding: New teammates can jump in and get value without learning prompt engineering first.

How it works

• Open a new chat in your default project (My First Project)

• Browse or search prompts by persona or task

• Click a prompt card, fill in a few highlighted variables, and submit

• Refine, rerun, or fork the conversation as needed

You can also share direct links to persona-specific prompt collections, making it easy to point teammates to prompts designed just for them.

Prompt Launchpad helps you move from “what should I ask?” to “here’s the answer” in seconds.

You can now record audio using the Record option in the upload panel and add it to your project. This makes it easier to capture meetings, interviews, or quick voice notes and bring them into Storytell without recording elsewhere first.

Get started at: Record and upload audio directly to Storytell

What’s new

Record from the Upload Panel: Use the Record option to capture audio using your device’s microphone and save it to your project.

Microphone Permission via Browser: Storytell uses your browser to access your device’s microphone. If you haven’t already, your browser will prompt you to allow microphone access.

Manual Upload After Recording: After you finish recording, you’ll need to confirm and upload the recording for it to be added as an asset.

Why this matters

Recording and uploading audio is now a single, streamlined flow. You can capture audio in the moment and intentionally upload it to Storytell when you’re ready.

What to know

• Your browser must be allowed to access your device’s microphone

• Recordings are not uploaded automatically—you’ll need to click upload after finishing the recording

• While recording, avoid navigating around Storytell to prevent interruptions

• If you exit a recording accidentally, you can recover it by reopening the Upload panel and selecting Record audio

Who benefits

• Users capturing meetings, interviews, or voice notes

• Teams working asynchronously with recorded context

• Anyone who wants a simpler way to get audio into Storytell

Storytell now includes the Scout tool, a simple way to find email addresses for people you need to reach. To get results, you need to explicitly tell Storytell to find an email address.

Get started at: Scout Tool

What’s new

Scout tool: Ask Storytell to find an email address by name or profile URL. Scout runs queries automatically and presents results clearly in your workspace.

LinkedIn and company searches: Use LinkedIn profile URLs or company names to locate key contacts, including executives or other decision-makers.

Intelligent queries: The tool uses smart query logic to decide the best approach, combining multiple sources to improve accuracy.

Integrated research: This doesn’t just find emails, it can also surfaces what the person’s top current priorities likely are, using public data sources.

Workspace Integration: Found emails and insights can be referenced in your Projects, added to Collections, or used in conversations without leaving Storytell.

Why this matters

Finding the right contact no longer requires bouncing between LinkedIn, company websites, and guessing email formats. Scout saves time and also gives context about the person’s current priorities, so you can focus on meaningful connections.

Who benefits

• Sales, business development, and networking teams

• Recruiters and talent acquisition teams

• Researchers and outreach-focused users

We've been hearing from teams who spend hours in Zoom meetings every week, then struggle to find that one decision or action item from last month's standup. Today, we're solving that problem.

Get Started at: Zoom Integration

Zoom Integration: Never Lose Track of Meeting Insights Again

Your Zoom meetings are full of valuable information—decisions made, action items assigned, and context shared. But once the meeting ends, that knowledge often gets buried in your Zoom account, hard to find when you need it most.

Not anymore.

We're excited to introduce our Zoom integration, which automatically syncs your meeting transcripts and chat logs directly into Storytell. Now you can search, reference, and chat about your meeting content just like any other knowledge in your project.

What This Means for You

For team leads and project managers: All your meeting discussions are now searchable and accessible. Need to find what was decided in last quarter's planning session? Just ask SmartChat™—it has access to all your synced meeting transcripts.

For knowledge workers: Stop switching between Zoom and your notes app. Meeting insights automatically flow into Storytell, where you can reference them in your Storytell conversations using @ mentions, just like any other asset.

For distributed teams: Everyone on your project can access the same meeting context, making it easier to stay aligned even when you're not in the same timezone.

How It Works

Connecting Zoom takes about 30 seconds:

1. From the prompt bar - Click the sources pill, then Connect Zoom

2. From Assets - Open the Assets sidebar, find the Zoom section, and click Connect

Once connected, Storytell automatically syncs:

• Meeting transcripts - Full text of everything said in your recorded meetings

The initial sync starts immediately, pulling in your existing recordings. After that, new recordings sync automatically in the background—you don't need to do anything.

Smart Organization, Automatically

Every synced meeting gets automatically labeled with time-based tags, so you can easily find what you need:

• Zoom - All synced content gets this label

• Year, Month, Day - Find meetings by when they happened

• Quarter and Week - Filter by time periods (perfect for quarterly reviews)

• Weekday - See all your Monday standups together

These labels are created automatically and work seamlessly with your existing Collections and search. You can also add your own custom labels if you want to organize meetings by project, team, or topic.

Project-Scoped for Better Organization

Zoom integrations are tied to specific projects, which means you can:

• Connect different Zoom accounts to different projects (great for separating work and personal)

• Keep meeting context organized by project

• Have team-specific integrations without mixing content

When you connect Zoom, it's automatically associated with your currently active project. If you need to sync meetings to multiple projects, just switch projects and connect again—each integration works independently.

Using Your Synced Meetings

Once your meetings are synced, you can:

• Reference them in your prompts - Use @ mentions to pull meeting transcripts into your conversations

• Search across all meetings - Find specific discussions, decisions, or action items instantly

• Include in Collections - Organize meetings alongside related documents and knowledge

• Chat about meeting content - Ask SmartChat™ questions about what was discussed, who said what, or what decisions were made

Try it out: Connect your Zoom account and watch your meeting knowledge become part of your project's intelligence. We'd love to hear how it's working for you.

We've been working on something that fundamentally changes how Storytell handles complex work—and we're excited to share it with you today. This release introduces a completely new way for Storytell to tackle research-heavy tasks, plus a highly requested integration that brings your Zoom meetings right into your workflow.

Ever asked Storytell to research something complex and felt like you were watching it struggle to keep track of everything? That's because until now, every task—no matter how big or small—happened in a single conversation thread that could get overwhelmed with information.

We've solved this with specialized AI agents.

What are agents? Think of them as expert assistants who work behind the scenes on specific parts of your request. When you ask Storytell to do something complex—like researching a topic across multiple sources or digging through your entire document library—Storytell can now delegate that work to specialized agents who are optimized for exactly that task.

Here's what makes this powerful:

Each agent works in its own isolated workspace, which means they can tackle massive research tasks without bogging down your main conversation. You'll see their progress in real-time as they work, but the results come back to you clean and condensed.

Storytell Agents:

• Explorer – Your web research specialist. Point the Explorer at any topic and watch it search the internet, read articles, and synthesize findings from across the web.

• Librarian – Your internal knowledge expert. The Librarian dives deep into your uploaded documents and Collections, finding connections and insights you might have missed.

• Researcher – Your multi-source investigator. Need to cross-reference web research with your internal documents? The Researcher handles both simultaneously

How to use it:

Agents are controlled through the Tool Selector menu in the prompt bar. To access it:

1. Click the tools icon in the prompt bar

2. Find the Agents option in the tool list

3. Toggle the switch to enable or disable agents

Enabling agents:

• When enabled, the system can automatically delegate tasks to specialized agents

• Agents appear in the mention menu (when you type @) for explicit selection

• The main agent can intelligently choose which specialized agent to use

Disabling agents:

• When disabled, the system will not use specialized agents

• Agents will not appear in the mention menu

• All tasks are handled by the general agent with direct tool calls

💡 Tip: You can enable or disable all tools at once using the "All" toggle at the top of the tool selector menu. This is useful for quickly resetting your tool preferences.

Storytell’s interface has been redesigned for smoother navigation, chat, and content exploration, making it easier than ever to find, organize, and interact with your knowledge.

The updated UI/UX helps you focus on your work without extra clicks, so you can spend more time engaging with your content and less time figuring out the interface.

What’s new

• Navigation Tab Up Top: The new top navigation bar lets you switch between tabs quickly. Move between Projects, Assets, Collections, Labels, or Concepts faster and more intuitively, keeping your workflow uninterrupted.

  

• Redesigned Side Panel: Assets, Concepts, Labels, Collections, and Recent Chats each have their own dedicated panel that opens as a window instead of a small pop-up. This provides more space to view content, makes it easier to manage multiple sources at once, and reduces clutter from the previous interface.

  

• Improved “What’s In Scope” UI/UX: It’s now immediately clear which content is part of your chat’s context. See what’s being referenced from Assets, Collections, Labels, or Concepts, so you always know exactly what your responses are based on.

  

• Enhanced Source Selection: When starting a chat, you can now choose exactly which sources to include—Assets, Labels, Collections, Concepts, or even web sources. Adjust search settings to pull from Project knowledge, the web, or both, giving full control over your information scope.

  

• Expandable Source Panel: Selecting sources in chat now opens a panel on the right that can be expanded for better visibility. Drill down into each Asset, Label, Collection, or Concept, review individual file sources, and adjust your selections without losing context.

  

Why this matters

Navigating your knowledge base should feel seamless, not like a puzzle. The new UI/UX reduces friction at every step—from finding content, organizing Assets, and chatting with knowledge to exploring Concepts and Collections—so you can move from ingestion to insight faster and with less effort.

Who benefits

• Users managing multiple projects and chats simultaneously

• Analysts and researchers exploring complex datasets

• Teams collaborating on content across devices

• Anyone who wants a smoother, more intuitive interface for interacting with knowledge

Searching the web is great, but sometimes "Googling it" is a bit like looking for a needle in a haystack especially when you need something really specific, like a piece of code or the latest academic research. We’ve given Storytell a serious upgrade in how it sees the web, helping it understand exactly where to look for the answers you need.

How it works:

In your prompt bar, click the … icon at the bottom right, and click on Available Tools

Make sure that the Web Search tool is turned ON, then just search naturally in Storytell. Storytell automatically recognizes what type of content you're looking for based on your question. Ask "What are developers saying about the new React release?" and it knows to search X. Ask "Find research on retrieval augmented generation" and it searches academic papers.

What you can now search for:

• GitHub repositories – Need a testing framework in Go? A specific library? You'll find actual code repositories, not just articles about code

• X (Twitter) posts – See what people are actually saying about a topic right now. Perfect for gauging sentiment, finding hot takes, or tracking reactions to news

• Research papers – Academic sources, peer-reviewed studies, and scholarly work—without wading through blog posts and news articles

• People – Find professionals by role, company, or expertise. Think "AI researchers at OpenAI" or "engineers who work at Amazon"

• Companies – Search for startups, businesses, and organizations in specific industries

• News articles – Get current events and journalism, filtered from other content types

• Personal sites & blogs – Developer experiences, tutorials, and individual perspectives that don't show up on major platforms

• Financial reports – SEC filings, earnings reports, and investor documents when you need official numbers

Why this matters:

iff you're looking for a specific software library, a general web search might give you blog posts about the library. But what you really want is the repository itself. Now, SmartChat™ knows the difference.

Here’s what’s new under the hood:

We’ve integrated specialized search categories that automatically activate based on your intent. This means clearer, more authoritative results for specialized queries:

• 💻 For Developers: When you look for code libraries or frameworks, we now specifically target GitHub repositories to get you the source truth.

• 🐦 For Trend Watchers: Want to know what people are saying right now? We can now target Tweets/X to gauge real-time sentiment and discussions.

• 🎓 For Researchers: Ask about scientific advancements, and we’ll filter for Research Papers and academic publications, skipping the pop-science summaries.

• 💼 For Business Analysts: We've added dedicated filters for Company data (great for finding startups), Financial Reports (perfect for earnings season), and People (for finding specific roles or professionals
