Liz release note - April 2026

April 24

Customizable email forwarding address

Your organization's email ingest address is now shorter and the handle portion is editable. Validation prevents conflicts if another organization has already claimed a handle.

TCS honors your custom dimension weights

Chat responses and homepage insights now reflect only the TCS dimensions your organization has activated. Previously, dimensions set to zero weight could still appear in results.

Linear ticket scores display correctly

Ticket titles and descriptions from Linear-connected projects now render correctly in TCS detail pages, replacing raw identifiers with readable content.

April 23

TCS scores appear alongside ticket references

When Liz mentions tickets in chat or homepage insights, each reference now includes its Ticket Completeness Score with a link to the detailed score breakdown.

Sortable document lists

Documents in the questionnaire view can now be sorted by column headers, making it easier to locate specific uploads in longer lists.

Slack bot connection stability

Resolved an issue where the Slack bot could silently disconnect after extended sessions, requiring manual reconnection. The bot now maintains its session reliably.

April 22

Jira ticket drafts now render in chat

When Liz proposes a new Jira ticket during conversation, the draft card now displays correctly so you can review the summary and description before confirming creation.

Clickable links in Slack responses

Liz responses in Slack now include hyperlinks to referenced tickets, pull requests, and other items. You can navigate directly from the Slack conversation to the relevant detail page.

General improvements

• Liz now shows a processing indicator in Slack while your message is being handled.
• Homepage left-menu navigation and the onboarding modal close button now display correctly.
• The settings sidebar has a cleaner layout with simplified navigation and improved visual hierarchy.


Security updates Patched known vulnerabilities in backend dependencies across two separate security updates this week. No user action required.

Liz release note - April 2026

April 10, 2026

Slack channel access controls 

Liz now respects channel-level permissions when searching Slack messages. Only channels visible to the connected account are surfaced in chat results, preventing unintended exposure of restricted conversations.

Human-readable chat download filenames 

Downloaded chat transcripts now use descriptive names based on the conversation topic instead of system-generated identifiers.

April 9, 2026

Private Jira project filtering 

Private Jira projects are now excluded from chat tool results and project search, preventing unintended data exposure in AI responses.

Expanded document search for transcript queries 

Liz now searches uploaded business documents alongside Zoom when handling transcript-related questions. Previously, the word "transcript" triggered only Zoom lookups, missing relevant uploaded documents.

April 8, 2026

Bitbucket integration reliability 

Bitbucket connections now handle token expiration and transient failures automatically, reducing authentication errors for Bitbucket users.

April 7, 2026

Reasoning visibility in chat 

Homepage chat now shows an expandable reasoning section displaying which tools Liz used and elapsed time during analysis. This gives users transparency into how answers are constructed.

April 6, 2026

My Insights and chat renaming 

Users can now view their personal chat history in a dedicated "My Insights" section and rename saved conversations for easier retrieval.

Zoom closed caption transcript support 

Liz can now ingest and search closed-caption formatted transcripts from Zoom, expanding coverage beyond standard transcription output.

March 27

Azure DevOps support in Liz Chat

Liz now works with Azure DevOps repositories. Ask about commits, pull requests, and code the same way you already can with other connected repositories. Product groups display repositories from all connected providers, grouped by type.

March 26

Linear integration expansion

Executive insights and daily messages are now available for organizations using Linear — previously limited to those on Jira. Ticket quality scores can be filtered by cycle and project milestone, matching sprint-level filtering already available for Jira. Additional chat query capabilities for Linear close remaining feature gaps with the Jira experience.

March 24

Zoom Integration now supports OAuth sign-In. 

You can now connect your Zoom account to Liz in one click via OAuth Sign-In. Liz automatically syncs your meeting recordings, and categorizes calls as customer or internal, so customer evidence flows into your alignment analysis without manual uploads.

Note: Your Zoom admin may need to pre-approve Liz in the Zoom App Marketplace. Multi-user accounts typically require admin approval for new apps.

Personal messages in shared reports

When sharing a report via email, you can now include a personal note for the recipient.

AI response accuracy

Liz no longer adds sign-off names to email drafts unless you explicitly ask. File upload errors now display the actual issue instead of a generic failure message.

General improvements

March 19

Linear ticket analysis

The keystroke command (e.g. /qual, /why, and /size) commands now work on Linear tickets, bringing the same quality, purpose, and sizing analysis previously available only for Jira. Linear cycle data is also available for query in Liz chat.

Refresh insights on demand

A refresh button on preset insight detail pages regenerates results immediately instead of waiting for the next scheduled run.

March 18

Clickable ticket references

Ticket references in Liz chat, shared reports, and insights now link directly to both the source ticket and its Ticket Completeness Score page.

March 17

Dependency and blocking analysis

Liz can now analyze blocking relationships and cross-project dependencies in Jira. Ask what is blocking a ticket, what a team is blocked by, or find all dependencies across projects.

Cycle time by workflow stage

A new view on the Ticket Completeness Score page groups scores and cycle time by workflow stage — To Do, In Progress, and Done — with 30-day trend comparisons.

March 16

Alignment score correction

The Overall Alignment Score now uses a corrected calculation.

General improvements

March 13

Linear reaches scoring parity

Linear tickets now have full scoring support across the platform. Quality scores, filters, charts, and chat queries all work with Linear data — including image attachments, original ticket type filtering, and the ability to ask Liz about Linear ticket scores directly in conversation.

March 11

Ticket completeness score — redesigned

The ticket completeness score experience has been fully rebuilt and is now live. The new interface includes ticket priority as a visible and filterable field, clickable metrics that link directly to filtered ticket views, charts that respect your actual ticket types, and a streamlined cycle time table showing only relevant workflow statuses.

Full meeting transcript access

Liz can now read complete meeting transcripts — not just summaries — when answering questions. This enables more accurate responses when you ask about specific discussions, decisions, or commitments from customer and team calls.

March 5

Cycle time analytics

A new analytics table shows how many tickets are in each workflow status, their average quality scores, and how long they spend there. Individual ticket pages now include a visual cycle time breakdown — making it easy to spot where work flows smoothly and where it stalls.

First insights after setup

New users now see a curated set of initial findings immediately after completing setup. You get value from Liz before running your first conversation.

Linear scoring parity

Organizations using Linear can now assign quality scoring templates and have tickets automatically classified by type. This brings Linear to the same scoring capabilities previously available only for other project management tools.

March 4

Meeting intelligence and alignment

Liz now automatically categorizes Zoom meetings as customer-facing or internal and extracts recurring discussion themes from transcripts. A new alignment report cross-references these themes against your engineering work — showing which customer needs are addressed by active development and which have no coverage.

March 2

Liz without integrations

You can now use Liz before connecting your code or project management tools. Upload documents or complete the business context questionnaire, and Liz can answer questions and generate insights from that context alone.

General improvements

• Reports now use your full organizational context for improved accuracy and relevance
• Reports are now included directly in email bodies — no need to open attachments

Zoom meeting intelligence

Connect your Zoom account to bring meeting context into Liz. Once connected, Liz automatically syncs your recorded meetings and generates summaries.

In-app setup guides walk you through the connection, with automatic validation to ensure your account is configured correctly before anything syncs.

February 18

Custom field support for ticket scoring

You can now map your Jira custom fields to ticket completeness scoring dimensions and fine-tune how each one is evaluated. This gives you more control over how Liz scores your tickets, so completeness reflects what actually matters to your team's workflow.

Sharing insights with your team is faster. The updated experience lets you send to multiple recipients at once from a cleaner interface, with the option to include yourself on the distribution.
