What’s new
1) Website conversations that survive reloads and navigation
Brand Agent widgets now preserve more of the visitor’s experience while they move around your website:- Conversation restore: A visitor can reload the page and continue the same widget conversation.
- In-site navigation: When a Brand Agent directs someone to another page on the same website, supported sites can keep the widget open during the transition.
- Completed navigation replies: The agent can finish and save its response before the page changes.
- Cleaner navigation prompts: Page-navigation actions appear separately from technical tool activity, making the chat easier to follow.
2) Safer Brand Agent file uploads
Customer-facing upload options are now more focused:- Supported uploads: Brand Agent visitors can attach images and PDF documents.
- Clearer boundaries: Other file types are excluded from the public-facing upload flow.
- More reliable loading: Widget startup and conversation restoration handle overlapping requests more consistently.
3) Clearer knowledge base crawl limits
Website crawling now gives Free-plan users better feedback:- 24-page Free-plan limit: Website knowledge base crawls on the Free plan support up to 24 pages.
- Visible limit state: If a crawl reaches the plan limit, the interface explains what happened.
- Upgrade path: The limit message provides a direct route to plans with higher allowances.
4) More useful cookie preferences
Cookie consent is easier for visitors to control:- Three clear choices: Visitors can accept all cookies, reject non-essential cookies, or customize preferences by category.
- Saved preferences: Choices persist for future visits.
- Cookie settings link: Visitors can reopen their preferences from the website footer.
- Production-only analytics: Production analytics are kept separate from staging activity.

FAQ
Will a visitor’s widget conversation return after a page reload? Yes. The widget can restore the existing conversation so the visitor does not have to start again. Does navigation always reload the website? Not necessarily. Supported same-site navigation can move visitors between pages while keeping the widget open. Other destinations may still require a normal page load. Which files can visitors upload to a Brand Agent? The customer-facing Brand Agent upload flow supports images and PDFs. What happens when a Free-plan crawl reaches 24 pages? The crawl interface shows that the plan limit was reached and provides an upgrade path. You can also narrow the website source to stay within the limit. Can visitors change their cookie preferences later? Yes. They can reopen Cookie settings from the website footer.Get Started
