Introducing: Release Notes

Turn Updates Into Engagement Opportunities

Your agent just got smarter. You added three new features. Fixed that annoying bug. Refined the responses based on customer feedback.

But if your customers don't know what changed, did it really improve?

The Silent Update Problem

Most software updates happen in darkness. Users log in, something feels different, they're confused, maybe annoyed. They assume it's broken, not better.

Your improvements become friction instead of features.

Release Notes flip that script. Every update becomes a conversation. Every improvement gets celebrated. Every change strengthens the relationship.

More Than a Changelog

This isn't a dry list of technical updates buried in settings. Release Notes appear front and center when customers return after you've published changes:

  • Rich Markdown Formatting: Write real announcements, not bullet points. Use headers, bold text, lists, links. Make it feel like a personal letter from you to them.
  • Automatic Timing: Notes appear at the perfect moment—when customers open the agent after an update. No spam, no missing it, just right-place-right-time communication.
  • Integrated Preferences: Added new preference fields? They're presented immediately after the release notes. Customers understand why you're asking and provide the info you need before their next interaction.

The Psychology of Transparent Progress

When customers see your release notes:

  • They know you're actively improving (not abandoned software)
  • They feel included in the journey (not surprised by changes)
  • They discover features they might have missed
  • They understand you're listening to feedback

Every release note is proof their subscription funds active development.

The Compound Effect of Communication

Update 1: Customers see you're improving. Trust builds.

Update 2: They start looking forward to updates. Engagement rises.

Update 3: They share your release notes with others. Growth accelerates.Update 4: Updates become part of your product's value. Retention solidifies.

Your velocity becomes visible value.
