Taking flight

What’s new

New features, thoughtful improvements, and fixes from across Littlebird. A fresh dispatch lands every Friday.

A Routine report used to land in your inbox and stop there. Now you can answer it. Reply to the email and Littlebird picks up the same chat that wrote the report — ask “which of these actually needs me today?” or “draft a reply to the second one” without leaving your inbox. The answer comes back in the same email thread.

The email reads like a note from Littlebird now, too: a subject line that says what the report is about, the report’s opening as your inbox preview, and an Open in Littlebird button that takes you to that report rather than the most recent one.

#8998#9105#9165#9216#9311#9321

Improved meeting prep

Meeting prep now takes your connected integrations into account, alongside your screen context and web search.

You can also switch on automatic meeting prep in Settings → Meetings to get a brief before each meeting starts.

#8823#9026

Artifacts now open on your phone

PDFs, spreadsheets, and documents Littlebird makes for you open inside the mobile app. Until now the app showed a download card and handed the file to another app. You can page through a long PDF, read a table without exporting it, and share or download it from the same screen.

#9002

Write and send email from your phone

Ask Littlebird for a reply and the draft appears in the chat with the recipient and subject filled in. Tap Edit to change the subject or body, then Send, and it goes out through Gmail. Mobile now matches what the desktop app could already do.

#9020
Improvements
  • Routines

    A routine’s chat is named after what that run was about, so you can find last Tuesday’s briefing in your history instead of scrolling through identical titles.

    #9094
  • Artifacts

    PDFs Littlebird makes for you are laid out properly — page breaks land where they should and a long table repeats its headings on every page. They arrive faster, too.

    #9175
  • Usage

    When you run out of credits, the composer says so instead of being replaced by an upgrade prompt.

    #9104
  • Hummingbird

    A Hummingbird thread shows which project it belongs to, and you can remove it from the project.

    #9163
  • Hummingbird

    The privacy notice is clearer about what Hummingbird sees when you ask it to look at your screen, including apps you have excluded in Privacy Controls.

    #9155
  • Chat

    A new chat greets you according to the time of day.

    #9066
  • macOS

    Collapsible sidebar sections open and close more smoothly, and the toggle uses distinct icons so you can tell at a glance which way it goes.

    #9120#9142
  • Mobile

    You can now delete your account from the app.

    #8990
  • Mobile

    If syncing keeps failing, your home screen tells you and offers a Retry, rather than quietly going stale.

    #8277
  • iOS

    The iPhone app works in landscape, which helps with wide content like tables and diagrams in Chat.

    #8778
  • Android

    Overflow and context menus show icons, matching iOS.

    #9014
Fixes
  • macOS

    Dictation no longer fails after five minutes.

    #9141
  • Chat

    A chat with a lot of messages in it no longer freezes or crashes when you open it.

    #9156
  • Chat

    Opening the same chat on another device no longer interrupts the one you were already using.

    #9233#9316
  • Chat

    Stopping a reply and immediately sending another no longer ends in “Apologies, I got an error trying to compose a reply.”

    #8953
  • Artifacts

    A file Littlebird built for you no longer silently fails to arrive — you get the file, or Littlebird tells you it could not make it.

    #9264#9265#9278
  • Artifacts

    Files Littlebird builds are dated in your timezone, so “today” means your today.

    #9174
  • Usage

    Buying credits works when Stripe Link is your payment method.

    #9180
  • Projects

    Uploading several files whose names begin the same way no longer leaves you with only the last one — long names were being shortened to the same name and overwriting each other.

    #9161
  • Projects

    Project uploads accept files up to the real 30 MB limit, rather than stopping at 20 MB.

    #9162
  • Hummingbird

    A long list of Hummingbird threads scrolls instead of running off the window.

    #9112
  • macOS

    Fixed support links in the app.

    #9164
  • Mobile

    A bad connection shows an error page instead of a blank screen.

    #9247
  • Mobile

    Backing out of a Google or Apple sign-in no longer looks like something went wrong.

    #9246
  • Mobile

    Fixed shared chat links opening the wrong screen.

    #9124
  • Mobile

    Littlebird no longer hangs on the loading screen when your phone was locked while it started.

    #8889
  • iOS

    Read aloud plays even when your ring switch is set to silent.

    #9186
  • Android

    The composer bar stays put instead of jumping as you move between states.

    #9103

Setting up a Routine no longer means filling in a form. Describe it in Chat — “turn this into a weekday morning briefing at 8:30” — and Littlebird creates it. You can change the prompt, schedule, or notifications on a Routine you already have the same way, and ask what one is set to before you change anything. Here is a prompt to get you started -

#8853#8911

Report a bug by asking

A chat where the user asks Littlebird to pass a request to the team, and Littlebird returns a drafted feature request ready to send

Something broken, or an answer that missed the mark? Say so in Chat — “report a bug: my meeting notes did not sync this morning” — and Littlebird drafts the report for you. Read it over, send it, and carry on. It works the same way for a feature you wish existed, or an answer worth flagging as poor.

#9062

Your call on meeting prep and recording

Auto meeting prep

You can now enable automatic meeting prep in Settings → Meetings, and get your meeting prep 30 minutes before the meeting starts.

You can also turn on automatic recording, so you do not have to remember to start recording every time. It’s also possible to exclude apps from being recorded automatically.

#8823#8848

Have it read to you

On mobile, Littlebird can read things out loud so you can listen with your phone in your pocket. In Chat, tap the play button on a finished reply. In routine reports and meeting notes, choose Read aloud from the top-right menu — for a meeting it reads whichever tab you are on, whether that is the summary, the transcript, or your own notes. Tap again to stop.

#6568
Improvements
  • Meeting

    The chat composer now sits at the bottom of the meetings list, so you can ask about several meetings at once without opening a single note. A history menu keeps recent conversations from that page grouped by day, and the panel remembers whether you prefer it docked or floating.

    #8408#9005
  • Integrations

    Connected accounts have their own controls in Settings → Integrations. Pause, remove, or reconnect one without touching the others, and a Disabled badge shows when one is switched off.

    #7870
  • Chat

    Attach a PDF and you can open it in a preview to check the right file before you send it.

    #8878
  • Artifacts

    You can download an artifact straight from its full view instead of going back to the chat it came from.

    #8907
  • Teams

    Every member of a team can now open team analytics from the profile menu, not just admins. The Usage tab is called Analytics.

    #9061
  • Usage

    The usage bar is simpler, you can reach it from the profile menu, and it now breaks your usage down by chat mode.

    #9061
  • Meeting

    In a project chat, questions about meetings follow the project’s awareness setting, so Littlebird searches only that project’s meeting notes when you have limited it to them.

    #8768#8769
  • Meeting

    After you stop a recording yourself, Littlebird points out the Generate summary button so it is easier to find.

    #9027
  • Meeting

    The Meeting Notes list shows a single, clearer empty state, with a way to connect a calendar when you have not connected one.

    #8991
  • Mobile

    You can add a chat to a project from the mobile composer.

    #8631
  • macOS

    If Littlebird cannot update itself — because it is running from the disk image or somewhere it cannot write — it now explains why and offers to move itself to Applications, instead of asking for your password every fifteen minutes.

    #8892
  • Chat

    Every chat mode shows a description, and their keyboard shortcuts stay visible and aligned in the menu.

    #8979#8995#8997
  • Hummingbird

    Mentioning an app is tidier: no duplicated window and app names, no stray spacing when you select the text, and less clutter when you mention several apps.

    #8867
Fixes
  • macOS

    Fixed Littlebird signing you out after your Mac has been asleep.

    #8980
  • Meeting

    A meeting summary that had already been written no longer disappears from the app while it is being regenerated.

    #9013
  • Meeting

    Asking about a meeting no longer sends Littlebird round in circles when it calls a meeting tool the wrong way.

    #8601
  • Meeting

    Automatic meeting detection recognises an app that was already running when Littlebird started.

    #7767
  • Meeting

    Transcripts from a mobile recording upload reliably, including recordings that are mostly silence.

    #8289
  • Routines

    Opening a chat from a routine report works again if you are on an older version of the app.

    #8985
  • Routines

    The Routines and reports screens show a loading state instead of looking empty while they load.

    #8537
  • Artifacts

    An artifact card no longer goes missing from a chat when the file behind it takes a while to arrive.

    #8952
  • Chat

    Stopping a reply mid tool call no longer crashes the chat.

    #8981
  • Chat

    Images you send more than once in a conversation are no longer dropped from it.

    #9009#9084
  • Chat

    Your chats are no longer empty after Littlebird rebuilds its local copy of them.

    #8712
  • Chat

    Messages no longer flash into place as a chat opens, the placeholder stays put in the collapsed composer, and spacing around your own messages is even.

    #8984#8999#9001#9008#9023#9029
  • Hummingbird

    The Hummingbird shortcut works with Caps Lock on, the composer takes focus when the window appears, clicks pass through again after you close a thread, and the window keeps its size when you reopen it on a second monitor.

    #8863#8866#8870#8871
  • Hummingbird

    The mouse keeps working after you open an action menu, and long conversations no longer jump to the top on their own.

    #8918#8921#8945
  • Integrations

    A connection you abandoned partway no longer sits at Pending forever with no way to remove or retry it.

    #7869
  • Integrations

    Choosing a calendar issue type uses a proper menu, and text in connection dialogs is aligned.

    #9033#9036
  • MCP

    Mem0 completes sign-in instead of failing during registration.

    #9065
  • iOS

    Images upload reliably, and an upload that stalls gives up and tells you rather than hanging.

    #8972#9003
  • iOS

    Starting dictation stops music playing through AirPods instead of leaving it running behind you.

    #8904
  • iOS

    Signing in no longer drops you back out when a token refresh is interrupted.

    #8349
  • Mobile

    The sign-in screen no longer flickers between the email and code steps, and it stays put if a code fails.

    #8801#8954#8955
  • Mobile

    Images you attached appear when you come back to a chat, and long threads use less memory and scroll more smoothly.

    #8671#8775#8829#8830#8854
  • Android

    Opening a chat connects faster after the app has been in the background.

    #6347
  • Android

    The Favourites and Recents headings in the sidebar are no longer tappable as though they were chats.

    #8799
The Meetings list with its filter menu open to show project options, and a meeting selected for adding to a project

Meeting Notes are easier to organize: filter the list by project to focus on one stream of work, select several notes at once to batch delete or move them to a project. You can also add an upcoming event to a project — and for a recurring event, all of its meeting notes become part of the project. Meeting summaries now follow your Project Instructions, too.

In Settings, you can now choose which apps Littlebird should ignore for automatic meeting detection.

The Recording settings, with WhatsApp added to the list of apps excluded from automatic meeting detection

On Mac, transcription quality is significantly improved. If a recording is interrupted, it recovers in the background instead of being lost, and live transcripts animate more smoothly as words arrive and settle into their final form.

Larger tables in your prep notes are easier to manage: open one in a full data grid to edit cells or add and rearrange rows and columns.

Send email without leaving Littlebird

The send card open over a chat, with a drafted email ready to review, format, and send

When Littlebird drafts an email, you can now revise and format it directly in the send card before you approve it — no need to move the draft anywhere else.

Find and organize your chats

The full Chats view shows a preview of every conversation, with search and filters to narrow the list. Select several chats at once to add them to a project, archive them, or delete them. See how to manage your chats.

The Chats view listing conversations with previews, two selected, and quick actions to add to a project, archive, or delete

See how your team uses Littlebird

The Team settings Usage tab, showing adoption and engagement numbers with a messages-over-time chart for the last 30 days

Team admins can now see how Littlebird is landing across the team: adoption and engagement, messages over time, feature use and top integrations. Find it in Settings → Team → Analytics.
