# Brand Agent, Crawl Pipeline, Dashboard Feedback & Voice Input (Feb 12, 2026)

> SketricGen update: Brand Agent creation and workflow generation, crawl pipeline with live progress, dashboard upgrade alerts and feedback, voice input with ScribeMic, and UI/styling improvements.

This release adds Brand Agent creation with workflow generation, a stronger crawl pipeline with live progress and plan-limit disclaimers, dashboard upgrade alerts and in-app feedback, voice input via ScribeMic, and UI and styling polish across the app.

## TL;DR

* **Brand Agent creation** from the dashboard with progress tracking and workflow generation—see workflows build in real time and get upgrade prompts when you hit capacity
* **Crawl pipeline** with live status and progress, plan-limit disclaimers up front, and secure access to crawled content
* **Dashboard** upgrade alerts when you approach workflow limits, clearer permissions and validation, and **in-app feedback** from dashboard and chat
* **Voice input** in chat so you can speak instead of type when it's faster
* **UI and styling** improvements: refreshed buttons and badges, better dark mode, and consistent look across landing, dashboard, and chat

***

## What's new

### 1) Brand Agent creation and workflow generation

We added an end-to-end flow for creating Brand Agents and generating workflows from the dashboard:

* **Brand Agent creation** from the dashboard with clear progress as workflows are built
* Better brand data capture and cost visibility for Brand Agent setup
* Improved error handling and event handling so the dashboard reflects workflow-building progress
* Simplified workflow limit checks and upgrade alerts when you hit capacity

**Why it matters:** you can create Brand Agents from the dashboard, see progress as workflows are built, and get clearer feedback when you hit workflow capacity—with upgrade prompts when needed.

***

### 2) Crawl pipeline and infrastructure

The crawl system is more robust and transparent:

* **Live progress** and status so you see how each crawl job is doing
* **Plan limit disclaimers** shown up front so you know when a crawl is affected by your plan
* More reliable job processing and better error handling when creating crawl jobs
* Crawled content is available via secure links; job expiration was tightened for better resource use

**Why it matters:** crawl jobs run more reliably, you see live progress and plan limits up front, and you can access crawled content securely.

***

### 3) Dashboard, permissions, and feedback

Dashboard and permissions are clearer; feedback is built in:

* **Upgrade alerts** on the Dashboard when you approach or hit workflow capacity limits
* **User permission handling** and workflow validation improved for more predictable behavior
* **In-app feedback** from the dashboard and chat so you can send comments or issues without leaving the app
* Clearer indicators when knowledge base or tools are processing

**Why it matters:** you know when to upgrade, permissions and validation behave more predictably, and you can give feedback directly from the dashboard and chat.

***

### 4) Voice input in chat

Voice is now part of the input experience:

* **Voice input** in the chat flow so you can speak instead of type
* Integrated voice pipeline for reliable transcription

**Why it matters:** you can speak your input instead of typing when it’s faster or more convenient.

***

### 5) UI, UX, and styling

Visual consistency and polish across the app:

* **Button and badge** styles updated with a refreshed look and better dark mode
* Landing page, hero, and chat header styling refined for consistency
* Dashboard and chat component styles updated for a more consistent look

**Why it matters:** the app feels more cohesive, and dark mode and key surfaces (landing, dashboard, chat) are easier on the eye and easier to use.

***

## Who this release is for

* **Teams building Brand Agents** who want dashboard-driven creation and workflow generation with clear progress
* **Users who run crawls** and want live status, plan-limit clarity, and reliable S3 access
* **Dashboard users** who care about upgrade alerts, permissions, and in-app feedback
* **Chat users** who prefer **voice input** when speaking is faster than typing
* **Everyone** who benefits from clearer UI, dark mode, and consistent styling

## FAQ

**What is Brand Agent creation?**\
It's the flow in the dashboard that lets you create a Brand Agent with your brand details and optional requirements, then generate or update workflows—with progress visible along the way.

**Do crawl jobs expire sooner now?**\
Yes—crawl job expiration was reduced for better resource use; you still get secure links to access crawled content before expiry.

**Where do I see workflow capacity limits?**\
The Dashboard shows **upgrade alerts** when you approach or hit workflow capacity, with clearer logic around limits and upgrade prompts.

**Where can I send feedback?**\
You can send in-app feedback from the Dashboard and from the chat window—comments or issues go to the team without leaving the app.

**Where is voice input available?**\
Voice input is available in the chat flow where the mic option is shown; use it to speak instead of type when it's more convenient.
