June 15 – June 20, 2026 Releases

Chief is now more connected, more reliable, and easier to use across both Live Sessions and integrations. This release focuses on two big areas: connecting Chief to your tools, and making Live Sessions more complete with summaries, timestamps, and exports.

What’s new

Chief now connects to Google Workspace and Slack

Chief can now take actions inside your tools, not just read from them.

  • Connect Google Workspace to access and work with Docs, Calendar, and related data

  • Connect Slack to search and act on information from your workspace

  • Every tool action includes a clear approval step before anything runs

  • Access respects workspace roles and permissions for collaborators

Live Sessions are now fully structured and easier to use

Live Sessions now capture more context and are easier to review after the call.

  • Every line in the transcript includes timestamps

  • Full session summaries are automatically generated when the session ends

  • Sessions are automatically titled based on the conversation

  • You can rename a session while it is still recording

  • You can copy or download full transcripts and summaries

  • Sessions now prompt you to stop when a call ends to avoid leaving them running

  • Each session now has a clearly defined host

  • You can now chat directly with Actions to refine or follow up on outputs

Other new features

  • Citations now appear directly in the Chief app

  • Generated files now appear as trackable cards in chat
