Stopping, background replies, clearer credits, cookie choicesStop is now settled by what actually happened: if the reply had already finished, you keep it and the run shows how long it took. A request you stopped is not answered later unless you ask for it.
October 4, 2026 · Added
New documentationThe docs now cover everything in Sands: guides by team and industry, every capability, a page for each integration with everything Sands can do there, credits, settings and this changelog.

October 1, 2026 · Added
Watch Sands edit your planWhen you ask for a change, the plan document shows it happening one place at a time: new dates, each rescheduled ticket, removed questions. Nothing is tinted or swapped wholesale; a cursor marks where Sands is working.
October 1, 2026 · Improved
Every ticket carries a priority, estimate, owner and due dateNew plans fill each ticket's priority and estimate, assign owners from the team you named, and date tickets inside their workstream. Schedule changes in chat reschedule the tickets they affect.
October 1, 2026 · Improved
New credit allowances: 500 free, 3,000 a month on ProEvery account starts with 500 free credits. Pro is $29 a month for 3,000 credits each month. A task uses the credits its work actually took, so a quick question costs a few and building a plan costs more.

September 25, 2026 · Improved

Where Sands startedBefore the entries above, Sands worked with Jira: read projects and issues; create, assign, move and comment on work; turn a brief into a plan and send it to Jira as epics and stories; check project health; run retrospectives; and build client-ready hours reports from worklogs.
