Roadmap

Q2 2026 by month

A live log of what shipped each month this quarter. We'll fold the whole quarter into a single recap once Q2 wraps.

• Brand extraction at signup. Drop in your website at signup and Slate pulls your brand colours and logo automatically, so your first course is on-brand without a setup detour.
• Pooled Live Voice budget for teams. Team workspaces share a single Live Voice pool of 90 minutes per seat, refilled each billing cycle. The usage panel shows the workspace pool so everyone can see how much is left to share.
• Quicker first course from an empty dashboard. Pick a starting point right from your empty dashboard, so getting your first course off the ground takes one click instead of bouncing through extra screens.
• Stylized band dividers. Give any solid-colour block background a shaped top or bottom edge: wave, curve, tilt, triangle, mountains, clouds, zigzag, scallops, steps, or fade. Each edge is independent, with height adjustment and horizontal flip, so sections feel less boxy without touching CSS.
• Knowledge check attempt limits. Decide how many times a learner can retry a knowledge-check question, whether the correct answer is revealed once they run out, whether per-option correctness is highlighted, and whether the feedback band shows at all. Multiple-choice blocks add an option to eliminate wrong answers between attempts. Configure once on the Theme page and override per block as needed.
• Smarter MCP routing for connected AI assistants. The Slate MCP server now ships with sharper tool descriptions and built-in workflow primers, so AI assistants like Claude and Codex resolve requests like "review my course" or "tag all my compliance trainings" in fewer back-and-forths. Preview links now render the same in any MCP client, the docs tool returns cleaner information, and Slate asks which course you mean when titles match instead of guessing. Tag filtering on list_courses is now available on Standard, not just Pro.
• LESSON.md format docs available over MCP. A new search_lesson_md_documentation tool joins the existing Slate documentation tool in the MCP toolkit, so Claude and other connected AI assistants can look up the LESSON.md spec, then draft Markdown lessons that import straight into Slate.
• Faster, more reliable AI translation. Translation now runs in chunks and stitches them back together, so longer courses keep their quality end to end. An auto-built glossary keeps brand names, product terms, and acronyms consistent across every lesson, and the refreshed Translate page surfaces clearer status and error messages when a job is running. AI translation between languages is a Standard plan feature.
• Per-block vertical spacing. Tighten or expand the rhythm above and below any block with a centred slider in the block toolbar. A "Reset" button appears the moment you move it away from the default, so getting back to the original spacing is one click.
• More reliable course exports. Exports across SCORM, HTML, xAPI, cmi5, and PDF now refresh Slate-hosted media at export time, pass third-party image, audio, and video links through to the player cleanly, and run a final integrity check before the ZIP is sealed.
• App shortcuts for chat and voice. When the Slate app is installed to your desktop or phone, the icon now offers two jump-in shortcuts. "Generate with AI" opens chat, and "Voice Chat" starts a fresh voice session. Right-click the icon on Windows or macOS, or long-press on Android.
• Quick actions menu in the editor. A floating action button on Course Overview and the Lesson Editor surfaces the light or dark theme toggle, UI tint swatches, and the Resources panel in one place. Now available on every viewport, including mobile.
• Course language picker in AI Chat. A language chip sits next to the AI chat input, so you can set the course language right where you are working. The chip stays in sync with Settings, so wherever you pick a language, the rest catches up.
• Rich text toolbar upgrades. Rich-text editing is cleaner across text, notes, accordions, tabs, cards, flip cards, and labeled graphic hotspots, with text alignment plus font, size, and colour controls in a compact toolbar.
• AI Writing Assistant in card content. Card and flip-card text content now includes the same AI Writing Assistant available in other rich-text blocks, with quick actions to expand, shorten, make text more fun, or make it more formal.
• Account deletion and legal links. Sign-in and signup pages now include Terms and Privacy links, and you can delete your account from Settings, Profile after resolving active subscriptions or team ownership.
• Consistent lesson counts. Course cards, list rows, import previews, AI course summaries, and version history now show the same lesson count, excluding cover pages, conclusion pages, and assessment-only lessons.
