New

Public API with personal access tokens

Chief now exposes a public API. Generate a personal access token in your settings and start connecting Chief to your existing tools, automations, or custom integrations.

• Personal access tokens. Create and manage tokens tied to your account for secure, scoped access.

• Full OpenAPI documentation. The API ships documented and versioned.

Improvements

Markdown spacing now matches Notion

Output formatting follows Notion's spacing conventions. Content you copy from Chief lands cleanly in Notion without manual whitespace cleanup.

Labels and Actions lists now paginate

Long lists of labels and actions were getting cut off. Both now paginate so every item is reachable.

Copy button on raw text and markdown assets

A one-click copy button now appears on raw text and markdown asset views.

Download any file from its context menu

Every file in your workspace has a Download option in its right-click context menu.

Fixes

Pasted-content pills survive copying across chats

Pills added from pasted prompts were being dropped when a chat was copied to another context. They now transfer correctly.

Keywords in pasted prompts stay as text

Text pasted into a prompt was being automatically converted into keyword pills. Content you paste now stays exactly as written.

Deleting a chat while streaming now works

Attempting to delete a thread while Chief was still generating a response would silently fail. Deletion now works at any point.

Raw JSON no longer appears in the Chief interface

Tool call output was occasionally surfacing as raw JSON instead of being processed. It's now handled cleanly.

Actions no longer fail when an item isn't found

Chief was returning an error when attempting to look up an action that no longer exists. It now handles that case gracefully and continues.

Files move correctly while processing is in progress

Assets being relocated while still processing could end up in an inconsistent state. File movement now completes cleanly regardless of processing status.

Upload modal stays open on outside clicks

Clicking outside the upload modal was dismissing it before the upload completed. The modal now requires an explicit close action.
