Product Update: New Models, Voice Features, Canvas & More Ways to Work with amberAI

Hello everyone! This update brings a fresh set of improvements to amberAI: new AI models, voice input and output, richer answer formats, stronger agent capabilities, and the new Canvas mode. In short: more flexibility for data visualization, better workflows, and a smoother experience across chat, agents, and everyday work.

New AI Models

amberAI now supports additional state-of-the-art models: GPT-5.5 and Claude Opus 4.8. This gives users even more flexibility to choose the right model for their task — from complex reasoning to fast drafting and multilingual work.

Voice Input and Output

You can now interact with amberAI using voice:

Speech-to-Text makes chatting faster and more natural, while Text-to-Speech can read AI messages aloud. Text-to-Speech is powered by ElevenLabs and is disabled by default — admins can enable it for their organization.

New amberAI Output Capabilities

amberAI can now create richer outputs directly in chat. For example, teams can generate diagrams and graphs to visualize for example customer onboarding flows or support ticket trends.

They can also create interactive interfaces inside the chat, for example to showcase simple ROI calculators, pricing scenario tools or implementation checklists.

Canvas

Canvas is now generally available, making it easier to draft, edit and structure a document directly inside amber with the help of amberAI. Use it for documentation, drafts, planning, and any other work.

Agent Updates

Agents are becoming more flexible and easier to configure. They now support MCP actions. Add selected MCPs to the agent and allow the agent to directly carry out actions in your preferred systems.

Sharing agents is now more collaborative: users can allow others to edit their agent and invite others. This makes working together with agents smoother.

Moreover agents can access the Canvas, instructions can now be written and uploaded in Markdown. We also added support for more file types, so agents can work with a broader range of inputs.

Dark Mode

amberAI now includes Dark Mode and updated theming options. Statuses also have a refreshed look, making the interface clearer and more comfortable to use across different working environments.

Chat Completion Notifications

You can now get notified when amberAI finishes a longer response. Notifications are available inside amber and at OS level, so you can keep working elsewhere and come back when the answer is ready.

General Improvements

We also added several quality-of-life improvements: better suggested prompts, improvements to the Outlook Add-in, and the option for admins to set up company-specific prompt examples. Moreover, you can now directly add images from amberSearch to the chat. This also works directly from the integrated document search in amberAI.

These updates help users get started faster and make amber feel more tailored to each organization.

That's it for now. We have a whole host of other features in the works. Stay tuned!
