Features, fixes and MCP changes, once they’re live.
Release notes are written in English.
Monthly AI usage and separate desktop tabs
Settings → Usage now shows how much of your monthly AI allowance you have used in the editor and PowerPoint add-in.
Files opened from Finder, the command line or a file dialog now keep their own tabs. Opening another file no longer replaces the previous one.
Chat, chart and workspace setup updates
After verifying your email, you now see a waitlist if you have no workspace to join. Creating a new workspace from the welcome flow is paused.
New bar and column charts use one color per series by default, including when opened in PowerPoint.
If slides still use a layout or master, Pretty now explains that you need to switch those slides to another layout before deleting it.
Hovering over the collapsed sidebar now expands only that section. The other sections stay collapsed.
The editor and PowerPoint add-in now show a New chat button when the chat pane is empty.
When an agent saves a new deck or deck copy from a full-screen chat, Pretty opens the deck and moves that chat into the sidebar beside it.
Chat in the PowerPoint add-in now includes master and layout names for surrounding slides when PowerPoint provides them.
Fixes for Safari, charts and dictation
Fixed a startup error in Safari that could prevent the web editor from loading slides or running document tasks. The fix also covers slide previews on the welcome screen.
Charts set to use a different color for each slice now show those colors in Pretty. Single-series bar and column charts also respect per-category colors.
If the dictation connection drops, Pretty now stops recording and shows an error. Your typed message stays intact.
Fixed a timeout that could prevent your chat list from loading when the workspace contained a large number of messages.
Renaming a file while Pretty indexes it no longer interrupts that indexing run. The next pass picks up the renamed file.
File transfers, connected tools and a smoother start
Transfer workspace files in one MCP call, without a separate storage upload or download request. Files can be up to 23 MiB before base64 encoding.
file_upload replaces create_file_upload and complete_file_upload; file_download replaces get_file.file_upload takes path, mimeType and base64Content. It creates missing parent folders and rejects an existing destination file.file_download takes path and returns structuredContent.base64Content, the byte size and an editorUrl. Decode base64Content to recover the file.wait_for_chat_status now waits up to 20 seconds before returning the current status and latest message. Your chat keeps running between calls.
wait_for_chat_status again with the same chatId.Add local stdio or Streamable HTTP MCP servers in Settings → Connections. Desktop chats can use their tools with Pretty’s models or a local Claude Code or Codex agent.
Introduced email sign-in, workspace setup, team invitations and requests to join a workspace on your company email domain. Workspace admins review join requests in Settings → Members.
On Mac, setup suggests tasks for presentations you used in the last 30 days. Pick a suggestion to place the file and prompt in the chat, then send it when you are ready.
Use /create-slide in the editor or PowerPoint add-in to work through a slide’s message, title, visual structure and finishing details. The built-in skill also helps when reworking an existing slide.
Claude Code and Codex agents running a Pretty chat on your computer can now read Pretty skills and search its documentation. They use the same workspace permissions as the chat.
read_skill and search_docs alongside Pretty’s client tools.The chat sidebar now docks beside a document and stays out of the way on Home or in a full-screen chat. Move a full-screen chat back beside an open document with the sidebar button.
Links to generated files now open correctly in the desktop app, including older links that lost the leading slash and file names containing spaces or special characters. File and slide links in email replies now use complete editor URLs.
A script’s original error or stop message is preserved when closing its documents also fails. An edit that fully rolls back no longer causes an additional error when the script finishes.
Arrow and other symbol bullets no longer appear as empty boxes when their font is not otherwise used in the presentation.
