Changelog

What shipped, in the order it shipped. Full entries are in the docs changelog.

October 2026

  • October 4, 2026 · Improved

    Stopping, background replies, clearer credits, cookie choices

    Stop 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 documentation

    The 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 4, 2026 · Fixed

    Upgrading works on a second click

    Clicking Upgrade to Pro twice within a few minutes could fail to open checkout. The second click now opens the same checkout as the first.

  • October 2, 2026 · Added

    Account menu and product feedback in the sidebar

    The bottom of the sidebar now shows your name and plan. Click it for Settings, Usage, Upgrade plan, Learn more and Log out. Settings also opens with ⌘, from anywhere.

  • October 2, 2026 · Added

    Profile photos and avatar marks

    Upload a photo, pick a Sands mark in your own shape and colors, or use your initials. Click your avatar in Settings to change it.

  • October 2, 2026 · Improved

    Cancel or resume Pro from Settings

    Plan & billing now cancels Pro at the end of the period, or resumes it, without leaving Sands. Payment methods and invoices are still one click away in the billing portal.

  • October 2, 2026 · Improved

    Running out of credits is clear and costs nothing

    If your balance cannot cover a request, Sands runs nothing and charges nothing. Your message stays in the chat with one card that explains why and offers the upgrade.

  • October 1, 2026 · Added

    Watch Sands edit your plan

    When 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 date

    New 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 Pro

    Every 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 2026

  • September 30, 2026 · Added

    Delete and restore plans

    Delete a plan from its title menu. Undo is offered right away, and a deleted plan can be restored from its chat card for 30 days.

  • September 30, 2026 · Added

    Plan title menu and one Send to button

    Click a plan's title for Export, Copy as Markdown, Rename, Duplicate and Delete. Send to has one button for your last-used tool, and its arrow lists Jira, Linear and Asana plus Word, PDF, Markdown and backlog CSV.

  • September 30, 2026 · Improved

    Replies: copy, rating, and a calmer scroll

    Every reply ends with Copy and thumbs up or down. When you send, your message moves to the top and the reply fills in below it; scroll up at any time and Sands stops following.

  • September 29, 2026 · Added

    Send a plan to any project tool, and connect it on the way

    Send to lists every supported project tool, connected or not. Picking one you have not connected opens the connect step, then goes straight to that tool's preview of what will be created.

  • September 29, 2026 · Added

    Type / to insert blocks in a plan

    Type / on an empty line for headings, lists, checklists, tables, quotes, code, dividers, images, dates and people. Hover a table for Add row and Add column.

  • September 28, 2026 · Added

    Plans are live documents

    A plan opens in a drawer the moment you ask for it and fills top to bottom as Sands writes: the goal, capacity from the team you named, workstreams, a ticket table, risks, key dates and open questions.

  • September 27, 2026 · Added

    Change plan details by asking

    Assign owners, set due dates, change priorities or move the project dates in chat. Sands changes only those fields and tells you exactly what changed, including anything it could not assign.

  • September 27, 2026 · Improved

    Sands understands requests more reliably

    Sands now reads each request on a stronger model and checks its reading before acting. Edits to the plan you have open stay edits; they are never mistaken for a send.

  • September 25, 2026 · Improved

    Ask for a plan and get one

    Ask for a plan and Sands drafts it, even from a short brief. Anything it does not know becomes a labeled assumption or an open question in the plan instead of a round of questions first.

  • September 24, 2026 · Added

    Follow-up suggestions that fit the answer

    After a reply, Sands suggests next steps based on what it just found and what you are working toward. When there is nothing useful to suggest, it suggests nothing.

  • September 24, 2026 · Added

    Sign up with Google

    Create an account or sign in with your Google account.

  • September 23, 2026 · Added

    See what used your credits

    Usage breaks credits down by apps and tools, models and conversations, with a daily chart for the period.

  • September 22, 2026 · Improved

    Connect a tool from where you need it

    When a request needs a tool you have not connected, Sands shows a card naming what it will do, and one click starts the connection. After you connect, Sands carries on with the request.

  • September 22, 2026 · Added

    Your profile, preferred name and account deletion

    Set the name Sands uses for you, and delete your account from Settings when you need to.

  • September 21, 2026 · Added

    Private beta invites and Sands Pro

    Invite links bring new people into the beta with their free credits ready. Sands Pro is available from Settings, and after checkout you land back in the chat you came from.

  • September 17, 2026 · Added

    Plan & billing and Usage in Settings

    See your plan, your credit balance, when it renews, and how you have used your credits.

  • September 15, 2026 · Added

    Sources on researched answers

    Answers that used the web end with the sources Sands read. Every answer can be copied or rated.

  • September 13, 2026 · Added

    Web research in chat

    Ask Sands to research a market, a vendor or a technical question and it searches the web, reads the results and answers with sources. Research can feed a plan or a comment you ask it to write.

  • September 3, 2026 · Added

    The + menu, starter prompts and approval modes

    The + button in the composer attaches files and connects apps. The home screen suggests prompts with blanks to fill in; clicking one never sends it.

August 2026

  • August 31, 2026 · Improved

    Slack messages send when you ask

    Asking Sands to post to one channel or person sends it right away and confirms where it went. Messages to several places or with @here or @channel still ask first.

  • August 27, 2026 · Improved

    Comments say only what you or your tools said

    A comment Sands writes to a ticket contains your own words or facts it read from your tools. The approval card shows the full comment text before it posts.

  • August 19, 2026 · Improved

    A cleaner view of every run

    Each reply now opens with one line for the work Sands did. Expand it to see each step, what it read and what it changed; the answer streams below.

July 2026

  • July 23, 2026 · Added

    Sands in Slack

    Mention @Sands in a channel or message it directly and it answers in the thread with your connected tools. Follow-ups in the thread do not need another mention.

  • July 21, 2026 · Added

    Slack connector

    Sands reads your channels and threads and sends messages and reactions from chat, alongside your project work.

  • July 17, 2026 · Added

    Asana connector

    Read and manage Asana projects, sections and tasks from chat, and send plans to Asana as a project with sections, tasks and subtasks.

  • July 15, 2026 · Added

    Linear connector

    Read and manage Linear issues, teams and projects from chat, and send plans to Linear as a project with milestones, issues and sub-issues.

  • July 11, 2026 · Improved

    Every step shows its evidence

    Every run streams the same way: each step says what it is doing, shows what it found, and closes with a one-line takeaway.

  • July 11, 2026 · Added

    Where Sands started

    Before 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.
