TL;DR - Business Summary

What's New in Plain English:

This release delivers 5 major capabilities that bring live meeting intelligence, better file management, and a built-in help system to Sasha:

Meeting Room - Join Microsoft Teams and Google Meet calls directly from Sasha. The AI listens, transcribes the conversation in real time, and saves it to your knowledge base for future reference.
Bulk File Delete - Select multiple files at once using checkboxes and delete them in a single action. No more one-by-one cleanup.
Built-in Help System - A pinned Help project ships with every Sasha instance, pre-loaded with getting-started guides and a skill to generate more articles on demand.
Claude Opus 4.6 Support - Access the latest and most capable Claude model through Bedrock, with legacy models cleaned up.
Task Tools in Chat - Claude can now create, track, and manage task lists directly in your conversation, with styled cards showing progress.

Business Value:

Meeting Intelligence: Automatically capture and search every meeting conversation — no separate transcription tool needed
File Hygiene: Bulk delete makes it practical to clean up large document libraries
Onboarding: Built-in help articles get new users productive faster
AI Capability: Opus 4.6 brings stronger reasoning and longer context for complex knowledge work

Executive Summary

The headline feature in this release is Meeting Room — a complete live meeting transcription system built directly into Sasha. Users can paste a Teams or Google Meet link, and Sasha joins the call as a bot participant, transcribes the conversation in real time via a WebSocket-powered streaming pipeline, and saves the transcript as a knowledge document. The system includes a coach orchestrator service, meeting analyzer, and transcript core, backed by Playwright-driven browser automation with Chromium. This required significant Docker infrastructure work, including headless browser configuration, Xvfb virtual display, and cross-platform binary resolution.

The Knowledge panel received further refinements: tag pill styling was upgraded with compact first-tag display and popover overflow, search/sort/filter were consolidated into a single toolbar row, the tag filter was upgraded to a searchable picker with counts and AND/OR toggle, and hash-based deep linking now works for direct article navigation. A new Help project ships pre-loaded with seed articles and is pinned at the top of the sidebar.

On the infrastructure side, Claude Code CLI was upgraded from 2.1.7 to 2.1.33, Opus 4.6 model support was added to Bedrock, security vulnerabilities in MCP integrations were patched, and the new Task tools (TaskCreate, TaskUpdate, TaskList, TaskGet) render as styled cards in the chat interface. File management also improved with bulk delete, zip file uploads, and created_by metadata tracking on markdown files.

Jargon Buster - Technical Terms Explained

Meeting Room

Sasha's built-in feature that joins video calls and transcribes them in real time
Like having a note-taker in every meeting who saves everything searchable
Supports Microsoft Teams and Google Meet (Google Meet in beta)

Transcription Bot

An automated participant that joins your video call to listen and convert speech to text
Like a stenographer that shows up to your meeting automatically
Uses Playwright browser automation to interact with the meeting platform

Playwright

An open-source tool for automating web browsers programmatically
Like a robot that can click buttons and read screens in a web browser
Used by Sasha to join and interact with Teams and Google Meet calls

Chromium / Headless Browser

A web browser that runs without a visible window, controlled by code
Like watching a movie with the screen off — the software still runs, it just doesn't need a display
Required for the meeting transcription bot to join calls inside a Docker container

Xvfb (Virtual Framebuffer)

Software that creates a fake display for programs that expect a screen
Like putting a mannequin in front of a motion-sensor door so it stays open
Needed so Chromium can run inside Docker containers that have no physical monitor

WebSocket Broadcast

A way to push real-time updates from the server to your browser instantly
Like a live radio broadcast versus checking your mailbox for updates
Meeting transcripts stream to your screen as words are spoken

Atomic Operation

An action that either completes fully or doesn't happen at all — no halfway states
Like a bank transfer: the money leaves one account and arrives in another, or neither happens
Project creation with folder assignment now works this way

Deep Linking

A URL that takes you directly to a specific piece of content, not just the homepage
Like a bookmark to a specific page in a book, not just the cover
Knowledge articles now have shareable URLs that open the exact article

Frontmatter Metadata

Invisible data at the top of a document that describes properties like author, tags, and dates
Like the card catalog entry for a library book — contains info about the content
Now includes created_by to track who created each document

Claude Opus 4.6

The latest and most capable AI model from Anthropic
Like upgrading from a skilled analyst to a senior partner — deeper reasoning and broader context
Available through the Bedrock provider in Sasha's model settings

Thanks for upgrading. This release brings live meeting transcription directly into Sasha, adds practical file management tools like bulk delete and zip uploads, and ships a built-in help system — all backed by the latest Claude Opus 4.6 model and a substantially upgraded CLI.
