This release makes auth and onboarding redirects more reliable, tightens plan-limit checks with clearer upgrade prompts, centralizes voice input with better recording behavior, and polishes dashboard, chat, and UI—including blog theme toggle and a resources dropdown in the header. ## TL;DR * **Sign-in and redirects:** after login or SSO you're taken to the right place more reliably, with fewer redirect quirks * **Plan limits:** faster limit checks and a clear **upgrade CTA** when you hit workflow or knowledge base limits; agents created in the background start inactive so they don't count until you turn them on * **Voice input:** consistent behavior everywhere—**auto-stop** and **silence timeout** so recordings end predictably; the UI clearly shows when the mic is on * **Dashboard and chat:** better mobile routing, fewer duplicate tool messages, and clearer handling when you hit plan limits * **UI updates:** blog **theme toggle**, header **resources** dropdown, improved demo CTA, and styling refinements on landing, blog, and contact pages *** ## What's new ### 1) Authentication and onboarding flow Login and post-login navigation are more predictable: * After sign-in or SSO, you're sent to the right place based on whether you've already created agents and your workflow list * Redirect logic is simpler and more consistent across login popup and SSO * Onboarding routing and post-login navigation are more stable **Why it matters:** you’re sent to the right place after sign-in or SSO more reliably, with fewer redirect quirks. *** ### 2) Plan limits and upgrade prompts Limit checks are faster and clearer when you hit caps: * **Workflow and knowledge base** limit checks run more efficiently with fewer redundant requests * **Upgrade CTA** appears when you hit workflow or knowledge base plan limits so you can see upgrade options quickly * Agents created in the background (e.g. during setup) start **inactive** so they don't count against your active limit until you turn them on **Why it matters:** you see plan limits and upgrade options without extra delay, and background-created agents don't count as active until you activate them. *** ### 3) Voice input (consistent behavior everywhere) Voice recording is unified and more reliable across the app: * **Auto-stop** and **silence timeout** so recordings end predictably when you stop speaking * Same behavior in dashboard chat and workflow chat—no surprises when you switch contexts * The UI clearly shows when the mic is on and when input is disabled (e.g. while the system is processing) **Why it matters:** voice input behaves the same everywhere, stops when you go silent or when auto-stop triggers, and the UI clearly shows when the mic is on. *** ### 4) Dashboard and chat improvements Dashboard chat and error handling are smoother: * **Mobile routing** in dashboard chat improved so navigation feels right on smaller screens * You can't send new messages while the system is processing—the input state reflects this clearly * Fewer duplicate tool messages in the thread for a cleaner conversation view * When you hit a plan limit in chat, the error is explained and an upgrade path is shown **Why it matters:** chat works better on mobile, duplicate tool messages are reduced, and hitting a plan limit in chat is explained and surfaced clearly. *** ### 5) UI and experience updates Surfaces and navigation got small upgrades: * **Blog** client **theme toggle** for light/dark * **Header** updated with a **resources** dropdown * **Demo CTA** visibility improved * Styling refinements on **landing**, **blog**, and **contact** pages **Why it matters:** you can switch blog theme, find resources from the header, and see a clearer demo CTA; landing and contact feel more consistent. *** ## Who this release is for * **New users** going through auth and onboarding who benefit from stable redirects * **Teams near plan limits** who want clear upgrade CTAs and fewer redundant limit checks * **Voice users** who want consistent mic behavior, auto-stop, and silence timeout * **Dashboard and chat users** on mobile or hitting plan limits who want better routing and error handling * **Readers and visitors** who use the blog theme toggle, resources dropdown, or demo CTA *** ## How to use (quick steps) ### Use voice input with the new behavior 1. Use the **mic button** in dashboard or workflow chat to start recording 2. Speak; recording **auto-stops** on silence timeout or when you stop 3. If the mic or input is disabled, wait for the current action to finish—the UI reflects recording state ### When you hit a plan limit 1. Look for the **upgrade CTA** when you hit workflow or knowledge base limits 2. Use it to see upgrade options; limit checks run in the background with fewer extra calls ### Use the new UI options 1. On the **blog**, use the **theme toggle** for light or dark 2. In the **header**, open the **resources** dropdown to find links 3. Use the improved **demo CTA** where it’s shown on landing or marketing pages *** ## FAQ **Why do some agents start inactive?**\ Agents created in the background (e.g. during setup or automation) now start inactive so they don't count against your active workflow limit until you turn them on. **Does voice auto-stop work everywhere?**\ Yes. In dashboard chat and workflow chat, voice recording uses auto-stop and silence timeout so behavior is consistent. The mic stops when you go silent or when auto-stop triggers. **Where is the resources dropdown?**\ In the main site **header**; use it to access resources and key links without leaving the page. *** ## Get Started * **Try SketricGen:** [https://www.sketricgen.ai/](https://www.sketricgen.ai/) * **Browse Templates:** [https://www.sketricgen.ai/templates](https://www.sketricgen.ai/templates) * **Docs: Getting Started:** [/getting-started/quickstart](/getting-started/quickstart) * **Docs: Widget & Deploy:** [/deploy/custom-website](/deploy/custom-website) * **Docs: Public API:** [/dev-guide/public-api-usage](/dev-guide/public-api-usage)
