ELLA changelog

Mid-July Bugbash

Over the past two weeks, we’ve been at work picking through ELLA with a fine-toothed comb before we get back to new feature development — over 100 individual bugfixes, tweaks, and improvements. Some of these fixes have been rolling out over the last few weeks already, while others were included in a big push today.

Sensemaking Speed and Streaming Resilience

We’ve been focusing heavily on the experience advisors feel when using sensemaking. In particular, we’ve been focusing on:

  • Speed — research across business factors and documents should hang less and finish sooner.

  • Reliability — chat send/stop/mic states are more consistent, long replies scroll more cleanly, and interrupted streams are more likely to resume cleanly if your connection hiccups.

If Sensemaking used to feel “stuck” mid-turn or the send button flickered the wrong state, this release targets that. The experience using Sensemaking continues to be a focus, so please share your feedback with how you’re using AI chat.

Sensemaking Quality Review Controls

You can now thumbs-up or thumbs-down Sensemaking replies, and optionally leave a short reason. That feedback helps us improve answer quality without training on your client content.

There’s also a workspace setting to allow manual quality review of anonymized AI responses. When it’s off, vote buttons stay disabled with a clear path to settings. When it’s on, you can rate answers in context — and the quality-review prompt no longer sits as a permanent banner once you’ve already consented.

AI inputs and outputs are never used for model training, with or without this setting.

Additional Improvements and Fixes

General UI

  • Migrated icons from Lucide to Phosphor across the application for visual consistency

  • Added truncation for breadcrumbs in the top-nav

  • Simplified the new client animation and removed an unused "Goal" icon from business factor cards

  • Fixed positioning of the trial limit banner on the Add Client button

  • Removed an invalid CSS rule that broke brand color styling

  • Page subheaders (including Fact Finding) are more consistent

  • Editing client business info no longer fails when industry is unset.

  • Client logos: higher size limit, no infinite flash on failed image lookup from our logo provider, actions hidden when there’s no logo to show.

Fact Finding

  • Added an "Edit" button to the template preview drawer

  • Added a scope filter for fact-finding templates on the templates library page

  • Owner-guides sidebar polish: clearer naming, add-owner-guide, better empty states

  • Improved performance when switching between fact-finding guide screens

Settings

  • Fixed a spurious "saving" indicator on load for About This Engagement in settings and standardized AI Preferences and AI Memory on the same autosave pattern

Deliverables

  • Advisor cursors no longer show anonymous animal names during deliverable collaboration

  • Multiple improvements to Deliverables editing stability

Trust & Reliability

  • Further hardened document storage access so workspace files are more tightly scoped in how long a download link can be accessed, and by whom

  • Clearer error handling when something goes wrong server-side (including support-friendly error references)
