Changelog

Buying credits works again on first navigation into the app. The Select Payment Method screen now loads the card form right away instead of showing a blank dialog with a dead Continue button.

• Your Concierge, Interviewer, Advocate, or Evaluator no longer paraphrases the welcome message you wrote in its first message. Participants see your welcome and then get fresh dialogue that builds on it instead of echoing it. On Slack, WhatsApp, and phone conversations, where the welcome message isn't displayed separately, your agent includes the welcome's intent in its first message.
• Behind-the-scenes improvements to voice conversation startup.

Behind-the-scenes security updates to keep your workspace safe.

Spend less time waiting after you hit the Talk button. Voice conversations now connect about 15x faster than before.

Perspective conversations embedded on your site now load about 3x faster, so visitors spend less time staring at a loading state and more time actually talking.

Behind-the-scenes security updates to keep your workspace safe.

• Curious what a Perspective conversation sounds like over the phone? Give our demo line a ring at +1 (559) 785-2453 and have a live voice conversation with our concierge. You'll be able to give your own conversations a phone number soon.
• Speak instead of type. The dictation mic now shows up on every chat input across Perspective, so you can dictate your prompts anywhere you'd normally type one.

Voice conversations sound more natural. The AI no longer slips in awkward filler before it answers or acts, and it stays in the same language for the whole conversation.

Slack messages sent by your automations now display their full content in the conversation's activity: text, attached blocks, button labels, and emoji all show correctly. Before, the activity often said "No message content".

Voice conversations now use a smarter realtime model with a context window four times larger for longer, more coherent back-and-forth. Live transcripts run on a new streaming-tuned model for sharper, lower-latency captions.

Voice interviews on iOS no longer get stuck in a non-scrollable state on first load, and the animated background now stays pinned to the screen instead of drifting with scroll.

Behind-the-scenes security updates to keep your workspace safe.

When the design chat agent picks a research methodology, the response now wraps cleanly on narrow screens instead of breaking into squeezed columns.

• Long research questions are faster to say than to type, and you can ramble through them without compressing your thought into something easier to type. The new mic in the design chat input (or press Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+D) transcribes you in real time and splices the words in at your cursor, so a long prompt takes the time it takes to speak it.
• Ask "how does X work in Perspective?" inside the design chat instead of opening another tab to dig through the docs. The assistant now searches the public docs and FAQ when you ask product questions and cites its sources inline, so you can verify or jump to the full page in one click. Docs citations link to the source page; FAQ citations expand into a popover with the question and answer.

Refreshed the docs across collect, design, and settings so guides match the current product.

Improved request reliability so the app no longer occasionally stalls on the first request after a period of low traffic.

Behind-the-scenes security updates to keep your workspace safe.

Grok 4.3, xAI's latest reasoning and vision model, is now available across the AI chat and analysis flows, and as the default model for data extraction. A faster low-reasoning variant is available for text interview deployments where response latency matters more than depth. Existing sessions on the previous Grok 4 generation transparently route to Grok 4.3.

The research analyst chat now keeps time-based horizontal bar charts in chronological order. When the AI charts data across weeks, months, or sequential stages, the bars stay in order instead of being re-sorted by value.

Behind-the-scenes security updates to keep your workspace safe.

Perspective MCP responses now include each perspective's internal name alongside its public title, so AI agents can identify perspectives by the label you recognize in the app.

Monospace text across the app now renders in DM Mono, giving code blocks, keyboard hints, and similar elements a consistent typeface that pairs with the existing DM Sans body font.

• HubSpot form automations now correctly link each submission back to the participant's anonymous browsing session, restoring page-view and source attribution on the resulting HubSpot contact.
• Perspective MCP outlines that include navigation steps with templated redirect or submit URLs now load reliably in strict clients like Claude Desktop, instead of failing with a tool execution error.

• Redesigned AI tool calls to look more consistent. Generating outline, classifying research, generating a greeting, evaluating an outline, saving an automation, picking a Slack channel: every action now flows through one consistent card with crisp loading, success, error, and stopped states, expandable details, and inline actions that keep the next step one click away.
• Results and Interviews dashboards load noticeably faster, especially on busy workspaces.
• Workspace credit status is now visible to everyone with access to the workspace, not just admins. The plan label and credit chip sit side by side in the workspace switcher, with clear "Checking credits" and "Credits unavailable" fallbacks so the chip never silently disappears mid-load.
• Refreshed the webhooks guide and automation recipes to match the product as it actually works today: the real event names, the real payload shape, the custom auth header model, idempotency keys, retry behavior, and the trust-score filter gotcha that silently excludes abandoned interviews.

Entry redirects on the Try Concierge page now preserve every query parameter, even when they contain encoded characters.

Sign-in popups in embedded conversations now load reliably on Safari.

• Perspective MCP tools now ship with complete behavior hints (read-only, open world, destructive), so MCP clients can show clearer confirmations before running each tool.
• Behind-the-scenes improvements to keep your workspace running smoothly.

Behind-the-scenes improvements to keep your workspace running smoothly.

• A polished new reading experience for blog posts. Long-form articles now feature an "In this article" table of contents that anchors directly to each section, one or two context-relevant product suggestions woven into the reading, and a curated list of related reads in the same category at the end. Section headings click-to-anchor cleanly under the top navigation.
• The blog home is now Field notes on conversational AI. The index reads like an editorial publication, with the same category bar and post grid you already use.

Shared interview link previews on social platforms now reliably show the host's avatar.

Preview interviews now unlock automatically when you add credits to your workspace. Previously, previews you started before purchasing a credit pack could stay locked even though credits were available.

Perspective is now agent-ready. AI assistants and search crawlers can discover what's available on Perspective's site (including the Perspective MCP server), and every blog, docs, and changelog entry is now also available as a plain markdown version that AI tools can fetch and cite directly.

• You can now add a description to each workspace in workspace settings (or when creating a new one). AI assistants connected through Perspective MCP use what you write to pick the right workspace for the task, so be specific about what each workspace is for ("growth research" vs. "support feedback") instead of relying on the name alone.
• The Slack channel picker on the invite page now loads instantly even on large workspaces.
• Thirty-six new posts on the blog covering AI customer engagement, research, insurance, intake and lead qualification, onboarding, customer success and churn, voice of customer, product discovery, and surveys.

• Slack integrations are now more reliable: invites and automations consistently use the active workspace connection, including right after reconnecting a Slack workspace.
• The trusted-companies logo strip on the homepage and the comparison pages now lines up with the rest of the page content on wide screens.

• Each use-case page now reads like a guide to solving a specific business problem with Perspective: leading with the value, walking through real features alongside photos and integrations, and pointing to a clear next step.
• You can now add Perspective MCP to Claude.ai on the web as a custom connector. The setup guide has the deep link and the exact fields to fill in.
• Twenty new posts on the blog:

Working with Perspective MCP from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other clients is more predictable now: conversation totals match between tools, statuses come back in the same casing everywhere, invalid date filters surface a clear error instead of being silently ignored, and looking up a missing invite returns one predictable message. AI clients also pick the right tool for the right agent more reliably, since tool descriptions now reflect the four agent types: Interviewer, Concierge, Evaluator, and Advocate.

You can now connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP clients to your Perspective workspace through standard OAuth, with no more pasting access tokens by hand. When an app asks for access, you grant or decline on a clean consent screen with the requested permissions spelled out in plain language. A new Connected Apps section in your workspace settings shows every authorized app and lets you disconnect any of them in one click. See the MCP setup guide.

Polished how Perspective MCP exposes automations to AI agents. Managing automation rules now uses dedicated list, create, update, delete, and test tools instead of a single catch-all, and tool titles and descriptions are sharper across the surface, so agents calling them behave more predictably.

• The context window indicator in research and analysis chat no longer flickers off the moment you send a new message. It now keeps the last known size visible until the next reply lands.
• Smoothed several inconsistencies across Perspective MCP tools: searching perspectives by title finds matches even when a custom display name is set, conversation totals match between the get and stats tools, the integrations tool recognizes every connected provider including Gmail, and listing conversations now signals whether more results exist alongside the cursor.

• Welcome chat now surfaces the interactive quick-reply panel and a Talk button. Participants can answer single choice, multi choice, and scale questions right in the welcome flow, or jump straight to a voice conversation without typing.
• When you create a new agent by uploading a brief, form, survey, or playbook, the system now reads the file alongside your text prompt to pick the right agent type for you.

• Interactive questions now support more options. Single and multi choice questions can show up to 10 choices, and scale questions can span up to 20 points, so the AI can present richer panels when the question calls for it.
• Copy-paste embed snippets now include a Perspective AI attribution comment above the script tag, so AI crawlers that can't execute JavaScript still see the attribution.

• HubSpot per-interview submissions are reaching HubSpot again after a brief regression, and the activity timeline now accurately shows failed submissions instead of masking them as successful.
• Brand logos in the interview header are now sized to be legible on both mobile and desktop. Configurations with a single uploaded logo keep a subtle backdrop for contrast; multi-logo and themed configurations drop the invisible frame so the logo has room to breathe.

Perspective MCP is now more reliable and handles long, multi-step perspective creation sessions without hitting tool timeouts in Claude Desktop and other MCP clients.

• The mobile navigation menu now adapts to your sign-in state. Signed-in users go straight to their dashboard, and signed-out users land in the sign-up flow.
• Polished the interactive question panel in text conversations. Hover and keyboard focus now share one selection ring so mouse and keyboard navigation stay aligned, scale endpoints read as labeled captions beneath the row, and the panel border highlights when focus moves inside.

Internal links in blog and docs posts now open in the same tab; external links continue to open in a new tab.

The homepage, blog, docs, and marketing pages are now blazingly fast. Pages load instantly from cache and stay smooth as you scroll and interact. You'll feel the difference the moment you land.

Behind-the-scenes improvements to keep your workspace running smoothly.

Interactive question panels: AI conversations can now present participants with single choice, multi choice, and scale/NPS questions as native UI panels instead of plain text. Includes keyboard navigation and "something else" free-text option. Messaging channels (Slack, WhatsApp) fall back to quick-reply chips.

New text conversation models: GPT-5.4 (mini, nano) and Claude Haiku 4.5 for faster, cheaper AI conversations.

Routine security and dependency updates to keep your data safe.

Analysis session visibility: admins can hide sessions from customers with an admin-only / everyone toggle. Admin-created sessions default to hidden, with instant UI feedback and direct-URL access enforcement.

• Three-tier conversation completion handling: conversations are now classified as complete, partial, or abandoned, with the right depth of AI processing for each tier. Slack notifications get colored sidebars and emails adapt to status.
• Completion source tracking: manual, participant, and no-activity completions each get distinct messaging. Background processing now prevents duplicate runs.

Routine security and dependency updates to keep your data safe.

• Voice instructions: researchers can customize voice accent and speaking style under Settings > Voice & Tone or through design chat. Applied in voice mode only.
• Persisted embed settings with a redesigned accordion UI: appearance, launcher, and auto-trigger options now save to your workspace and can be updated through design chat with an explicit publish step.
• SDK 1.6.0: applies your saved embed settings automatically (taking precedence over inline embed code) and replaces the loading spinner with a polished skeleton UI.

Routine security and dependency updates to keep your data safe.

Voice conversations no longer end prematurely when a participant asks for time. The AI now treats pauses as natural moments to wait, not signals to end the call.

Voice dark theme is now scoped to the voice experience, preventing premature theme changes elsewhere.

• HubSpot automation submissions no longer silently fail: the portal is now resolved automatically from your connected account, integration errors are detected properly, and bot-protection warnings now surface to users.
• Partial-conversation polish: stale processing records no longer crash, cleanup runs in the background for lower latency, and the progress bar no longer shows 100% for partial conversations.

Routine security and dependency updates to keep your data safe.

AI conversations now use correct grammatical gender for self-reference in gendered languages like Hebrew, with voice mode picking gender automatically from the selected voice.

AI streaming now reports errors consistently so failures surface instead of silently dropping.

Switched to a more stable streaming transport to prevent crashes from malformed responses.

Voice conversations now use dark mode from the very first screen, including welcome and sign-in, for a consistent, polished feel across previews and embedded dialogs.

Contact and newsletter forms now use the standard embed widget so theming and host handling stay consistent.

• Custom slugs with hyphens (e.g. /contact-us) now load correctly instead of failing to authorize.

Claim flow now supports multiple workspaces via an allowlist instead of a single hardcoded workspace.

Blog and docs now render from local content for faster page loads and reliable static generation.

Claim flow now shows a clear error state when no workspaces are available instead of hitting a dead end.

• Voice assistant no longer responds to its own audio output during conversations.
• Reduced transcription errors in noisy environments by tuning the transcription model and handling empty transcripts more gracefully.
• Fixed a small visual jump when the logo marquee loops.

Voice connection timeout extended from 10 to 30 seconds so slower networks don't drop calls during setup.

Routine security and dependency updates to keep your data safe.

• GPT-5.4 model support Added OpenAI's GPT-5.4 with a much larger context window, plus reasoning and vision. Now the recommended model in the model selector.
• Context usage indicator in chat A circular progress indicator in the chat input shows how much of the model's context window your conversation is using, with a tooltip for details.
• Voice interview controls Added mute/unmute and end-conversation buttons, a new "Left Early" status for participants who hang up, and clearer visual states for voice input.
• Stronger email verification Sign-in code throttling is now per-email and more reliable, with clearer feedback when codes are rate-limited and more secure code generation.

Preview interview sign-in When an existing session conflicts with preview interview sign-in, you now get a warning before the session is cleared.

Voice reconnect stability Voice connections no longer get stuck during startup or reconnects, with bounded retries, clearer error messages, and reliable recovery from connection failures.

• Interviewer now asks "anything else?" before the summary confirmation, so participants get a chance to add anything they missed.
• Tightened the closing flow so the interview only ends after all closing steps are complete, and the final message is always a statement rather than a question participants can't answer.

Prevented interviews from ending prematurely. Previously the closing message could contain a question participants had no way to respond to.

Voice interviews now wait for the assistant's closing message to finish playing before completing. Previously the connection could drop mid-goodbye, cutting off the final words to participants.

• Sign-in required interviews in embeds Authenticated interviews now work inside embedded iframes even when browsers block third-party cookies, using a sign-in popup with a new-tab fallback if popups are blocked.
• Auto-captured participant emails When participants share their email during a conversation, it's now captured automatically so thank-you automations work without extra setup.

• Test mode for participant email automations now redirects to your override recipient instead of silently failing.
• The research assistant now offers to test automations in the first setup step, matching the later steps.

• Comparison pages New pages comparing Perspective AI to Typeform, Formstack, Qualtrics, SurveyMonkey, Google Forms, Jotform, and Medallia — each with a URL converter, feature table, FAQ, testimonials, and pricing details.
• Embedded newsletter signup Newsletter signup is now an embedded Perspective AI conversation instead of a static multi-step form.

• Outline generation restored Fixed errors that had been silently breaking outline generation for around a week. Outlines now generate reliably across all models.
• Improved dark mode contrast and accessibility on comparison page tables.

• No more duplicate interviews Background sign-in refreshes no longer restart interviews, so participants won't get duplicate sessions or restarted voice conversations.
• Outbound voice calls wait to greet The AI no longer speaks immediately on outbound calls — it waits for the recipient to speak first, which feels more natural for voice conversations.

No more corrupted chat messages Added a guard against rapid double-clicks and overlapping send-or-regenerate actions across all chat surfaces, preventing message corruption.

• Slack link previews restored Perspective AI URLs now show proper previews when shared in Slack — including blog posts, pricing, and the homepage — instead of appearing as plain links.
• Preview deployment URLs now generate link previews correctly too.

Routine security and dependency updates to keep your data safe.
