Kollab release illustration

Chat appearance

  • You can now personalize the look of a new chat from the appearance control in the composer, and your choice follows you across sessions.
  • Pick a background from the built-in Unsplash library through a two-level picker that lets you browse by collection first, then choose the exact image.
  • Turn on the full-image preference to let a background show through the whole workspace instead of sitting behind a panel.
  • The chat surface, sidebar, input bar and side panels were reworked so backgrounds stay legible, with dark mode contrast tuned throughout.
  • Long lists in the skills and inspiration pages now keep their category header pinned while you scroll, and fade cleanly at the edges instead of cutting off.

Task actions

  • Polish an article you already have: paste or attach the source and Kollab rewrites it while keeping your links intact.
  • Summarize a long video or podcast into the format you want, choosing the output shape before the run starts.
  • A divination app action is available for anyone who wants to generate a small interactive reading experience.
  • The composer now suggests relevant system skills from the gallery as you set up a task, so you do not have to remember what is installed.

Writing

  • Writing style is now an explicit setting rather than something inferred, so the same task produces a consistent voice across runs.
  • Chinese labels for the writing format options were rewritten to describe what each format actually produces.

Documents and media

  • Videos in a document can be resized, and they stay inline on phones instead of breaking out of the text flow.
  • Image captions line up with their image, and the hover actions on images no longer cover the picture.
  • Downloading a set of files as a zip is now a compact icon action instead of a wide button.

Workspace navigation

  • The top-left workspace switcher is now the Kollab wordmark, with the plan you are on shown alongside it.
  • Your account menu gained a submenu for workspace-level entries, and the collapsed sidebar transitions cleanly instead of jumping.

Skills

  • Installing a skill from the marketplace keeps its original identity, so a skill you cloned no longer loses track of where it came from.
  • Marketplace actions and image previews now behave the same on a cloned catalog entry as on the original.

Reliability

  • Fixed a case where a retried relay could duplicate tool calls in the same answer.
  • Reasoning and answer text that arrive interleaved from the model are now assembled correctly instead of appearing out of order.
  • When credits run out mid-run, the reason is preserved all the way to the message you see, instead of being replaced by a generic ending.

Accounts and billing

  • Signing up with Google reliably grants the free starting credits.
  • Sign-in no longer fails when a background risk check is unavailable.
  • AppSumo add-ons are reconciled right after activation, so purchased capacity appears without waiting.
  • DeepSeek V4 models are now priced without the Ali Bailian base discount; Kimi K2.7 and GLM 5.2 keep theirs.
