1.8.0
See when other members are typing in a shared chat, start a project from a template, edit and rerun an earlier message, filter a project's chats, upload Excel files, and two new Claude models.
Released October 16, 2025.
Edit an earlier message and run the chat again from that point, upload Excel files and work with what's in them, start a project from a ready-made template, and see when other members are typing in a shared chat.
Real-time collaboration (New Feature)
- See when someone else is typing: In a shared chat, you can tell when another member is writing a message
- New messages reach everyone right away: A message sent in a shared chat appears for every member of that chat as it arrives
Project templates (New Feature)
- Start a project from a template: New projects can begin from a ready-made setup for a common kind of work
- Similar projects start out the same: Projects created from the same template are set up alike
Edit & rerun messages (New Feature)
- Change what you asked and get a new answer: Edit any earlier message in the conversation and run the chat again from that point, in one click
- You don't have to start a new chat: Reword a question and try again in the conversation you're already in
- The conversation is kept: Your chat history stays as it is while you adjust an earlier question
Project chat filtering (New Feature)
- Show only the chats you want: Inside a project, narrow the list to new, active, or archived chats
- Tell shared chats from your own: A project's chats show which are collaborative and which are private
Excel file support (New Feature)
- Bring a spreadsheet into the chat: Upload an Excel file (.xlsx, .xls) straight into a conversation
- Ask about what's in it: Emerge.ai reads your Excel data and can work with it in the conversation
Smaller improvements
- Start typing right away: On a larger screen, the cursor lands in the chat box for you
- A clearer prompt before a chat is deleted: Deleting a chat is easier to follow, and still asks you to confirm first
- Code is easier to read in light mode: Code blocks are clearer against a light background
- The members list fits a phone: The members dialog displays properly on a small screen
- Copy an answer on your phone: The button that copies a response works on mobile devices
- Clear your notifications in one go: Support notifications and "mark all as read" are both handled better than before
Claude Sonnet 4.5 (New Model)
- Anthropic's most intelligent model: Best in its class for coding and for complex, multi-step work
- The highest score for coding on its own: 77.2% on SWE-bench Verified
Claude Haiku 4.5 (New Model)
- Fast and light: Performs much like Sonnet 4, at one-third the cost and twice the speed
- Nearly as strong at coding: 73.3% on SWE-bench Verified, within 5 points of Sonnet 4.5
