Liz release note - July 2026

July 31, 2026

Liz in Microsoft Teams

You can now work with Liz directly in Microsoft Teams, in the channels your organization chooses to enable. When a conversation starts from Teams, Liz carries the context with it — showing the channel it came from, a link back to the original thread, and the opening message.

Preset insight shortcuts in chat

You can now type /pi or /preset-insight directly in chat to pull up any preset insight without leaving your conversation.

General improvements

• Chat sessions now display a descriptive title immediately based on your opening message, with no visible delay
• The cost control dashboard now includes a group-by option for more flexible cost categorization

Liz release note - July 2026

July 24, 2026

Direct Ticket Creation

When you give Liz an explicit instruction to create a single Jira ticket, it now does so immediately and reports the result. Previously, even clear create requests were routed through a draft-and-confirm step. The confirmation flow still applies when you ask Liz to draft or review a ticket first, or when the request involves multiple tickets, an ambiguous project, or insufficient detail to form a complete ticket.

July 20, 2026

Confluence Comments from Chat

Liz can now post comments on Confluence pages directly from the conversation, including replies with quoted context and @-mentions, with a confirmation step before publishing.

Document Type Classification

The upload dialog for business context documents now includes a Classification section. You can optionally assign one or more nodes to a document and then tag it with types, including custom types you enter yourself. Assigned types appear as labels in the documents table, so you can see at a glance how each document is categorized.

Full-File Analysis for Large Documents

Liz now processes the entire uploaded document rather than partial excerpts when answering quantitative questions about large files like CSVs.

General improvements

• Made data exploration — deeper analytical questions across your connected data, including aggregations, cross-referencing, and trend analysis — available to every organization rather than a subset of accounts.
• Added support for uploading HTML files as business context documents or chat attachments.
• Fixed an issue where Liz referenced file paths or claimed that output was saved or downloaded to a location outside the chat. Large results such as tables and data exports are delivered directly in the conversation.
• Fixed an issue where chat sessions occasionally appeared empty on the first visit to the homepage.
• Fixed an issue where resuming a previous conversation and sending a new message did not automatically scroll to the latest reply.
• Replaced the generic error shown when a Slack connection expires or is revoked with a specific prompt to reconnect Slack in Settings.
• Fixed the "Skip for now" option on the tool-connection step during onboarding, which previously left users stuck on the same step.
• Fixed chat file uploads failing when the filename contains special characters.
• Corrected the Spending Details description to accurately list "date" and "user" as the available filters, removing references to filter options that do not exist.
• Corrected the spending badge in the user menu to display usage against the lockdown cap instead of the lower warning cap.
• Clarified the action button on the spending lockdown banner, which now reads "Temporarily disable until next month" — the previous label implied the lockdown would be removed permanently.


Security updates Patched known vulnerabilities across container base images, backend runtime, and frontend dependencies, including a Node.js runtime update. All remediations were identified and prioritized through automated vulnerability scanning. No user action required.

July 16, 2026

Document classification and freshness tracking

Business Context Documents can now be organized with categories and document types, making it easier to find and manage uploaded materials. Each document also shows a freshness indicator so teams can quickly spot content that may need updating.

Large file analysis in chat

Liz can now reliably analyze large structured files — such as CSV exports and JSON datasets — attached directly in chat. Previously, very large files could cause processing interruptions; they are now handled smoothly.

July 15, 2026

A unified foundation for search

We've rebuilt how Liz searches across your connected sources — documents, Jira, GitHub, and Zoom transcripts now flow through a single, unified search layer. This foundational upgrade means faster, more consistent, and more relevant results as Liz finds and connects information across everything you've connected.

General improvements

• Improved breadcrumb navigation and page header consistency across Settings pages
• Confluence connections now automatically recover from certain configuration changes, reducing manual reconnection steps
