SmartChat™ now preserves @mentions when you use “Improve it”

In this week’s product demo and feedback session, we focused on the “Improve it” button and a few key improvements that make it even smoother to use.

“Improve it” now preserves @mentions in SmartChat™

Previously, if you @mentioned an asset or Collection in SmartChat™ and then clicked “Improve it,” the mention would disappear. That’s now fixed.

In the demo, DROdio showed how SmartChat™ now keeps @mentions intact when a message is rewritten. Whether you're referencing a teammate, thread, or knowledge object, the improved message retains all your original context.

Copying improved messages keeps references intact, too

In the same flow, we also fixed a related issue: copying a message no longer breaks references.

Before, if you improved a message and copied it elsewhere, you'd lose the connection to any @mentioned asset or collection. Now those references remain intact — making it easier to reuse and share your improved outputs without losing structure or clarity.

These small changes are part of our larger effort to make SmartChat™ smoother.

A new Prompt Library is coming

Storytell currently saves your prompt history within each SmartChat™ thread. That means:

• You can scroll through and reuse prompts — but only within the thread where they were originally used
  
  
• There’s no central place to view or manage all your saved prompts across threads
  
  
• Shared prompts aren’t labeled or filterable, so things can get messy as usage scales
  

You can see how this works today in our Prompt History documentation.

We’re now scoping a more flexible version of the Prompt Library, with a few goals in mind:

• Centralized access to all saved prompts, not just within individual threads
  
  
• Lightweight filtering, starting with “My prompts only”
  
  
• Future support for labeling, ownership, and shared visibility
  

This is still early-stage, but we know how important it is for people who rely on prompt reuse, sharing, or internal workflows.
