Falconer May 2026 changelog

Editor

New block types

Six new block types are available via the / slash menu:

  • Accordion — collapsible sections with an editable title. Good for FAQs, long reference docs, and progressive disclosure.
  • Card — a callout block with an optional icon and horizontal layout.
  • Columns — 2-, 3-, or 4-column side-by-side layouts.
  • Tabs — tabbed content with editable titles per tab. Only the active tab’s content is visible at a time.
  • Code group — a tabbed code block for showing the same snippet across multiple languages or environments.
  • Embed website — a full-width, resizable iframe block. Paste any URL to embed it inline. Supports tweet embeds natively. The URL is editable after inserting.

Author states

  • Documents now have a status field visible in the details sidebar.
  • Set it to Draft, In Review, Approved, or Outdated to communicate where a doc is in its lifecycle. You can also assign reviewers from the same panel — reviewers can update their own decision (Pending, Approved, or Changes requested) without needing to edit the document.

Other editor improvements

  • Table sort — hover any column header and click to sort rows alphabetically. Click again to reverse.
  • Table column width cap — columns now default to a max of 500px, preventing tables from stretching the full page width. Columns are still manually resizable.
  • Copy as Markdown — select any content and choose Copy as Markdown from the context menu, or press Cmd+Shift+M to copy the full document.
  • Paste markdown — pasting text that contains markdown structure (code blocks, headings, lists) now preserves formatting instead of collapsing to plain text.

Agent and chat

Skills in chat

Type / in any chat input to bring up a skill picker. Select a Skill document to inject it into your prompt as structured context. Skill references render as distinct chips and are passed to the model with a <skill> tag so the agent follows the instructions inside.

Agent memory and personalization

Falcon now has a smarter, more durable memory system. Facts are divided into two tiers:

  • Core facts — identity-level things like who you are, your role, and what you work on. These are always injected into Falcon’s context, regardless of how old they are or how many other facts exist. They don’t get crowded out by recency.
  • Contextual facts — recent observations inferred from your conversations. These cycle naturally over time.

Facts you’ve added or confirmed manually are treated as permanent — the system will never merge, demote, or modify them. Inferred core facts are capped and consolidated automatically to prevent bloat.

Agent diff attribution

Proposed edits from Falcon now carry attribution — each diff shows the description of what the agent intended to change. Diffs link correctly by ID in the agent sidebar, and accepting a diff keeps the cursor adjacent to the accepted change.

Chat box + menu

The chat input now has a + button that surfaces attachment and context options.

Chat history page

A dedicated conversation history page is now available. Conversations are split into Pinned and Recent, support infinite scroll, and can be searched by title. Each row supports open, pin/unpin, rename, delete, and share — sharing copies a direct link and makes the conversation visible org-wide.

MCP, API, CLI

MCP and the public API now support a broader set of write operations:

  • Document content mutations — replace, insert, or delete specific content blocks via /docs/content/replace, /insert, /delete.
  • Comment operations — list, reply to, edit, delete, and resolve document comments.
  • Folder mutations — create and update folders.
  • Media uploads — upload images (PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP up to 50MB) and videos (MP4, MOV up to 400MB) via POST /api/v1/uploads. Returns a ready-to-use Markdown or HTML snippet.
  • Skills as MCP prompts — Skill documents are exposed as native MCP prompts in Claude Code. Each skill becomes an invokable slash command from your coding agent.
  • OAuth login — the Falconer CLI and MCP now use OAuth instead of API keys. Run falconer login to sign in. Multi-org access and on-prem base URL configuration (falconer config set base-url) are also supported.
  • Codex CLI connector — OpenAI Codex CLI can now connect to Falconer MCP directly from Settings, with a copyable one-line setup command.

Integrations and notifications

Slack

  • Personal account search — Falcon’s Slack search now uses your personal Slack token when you’ve connected your individual account in Settings. This expands search coverage to private channels, DMs, and group DMs. Users who haven’t connected personally fall back to the org-level token.
  • Folder link previews — sharing a Falconer folder link in Slack now unfurls with the folder name and description.
  • Access request notifications — when someone requests access to a document you own, you now receive a Slack notification with Grant access buttons directly in the message.

Granola

  • Full transcript in notes — synced meeting notes now include the full meeting transcript after the summary section. Previously only the AI-generated summary was stored.
  • Better action item extraction — action items are now extracted from the raw transcript rather than the summary. This means commitments that the summary glosses over are less likely to be missed.
  • Summary backfill — meetings that sync before Granola’s AI summary is ready are now re-fetched and backfilled automatically once the summary becomes available. Previously those notes were permanently left with a placeholder.
  • API key connection — the connection flow now uses a long-lived API key instead of Granola MCP. Generate a key in Granola’s Settings (top right → Connectors → API keys) and paste it into Falconer.

Action items

  • Notifications per assignee — when a meeting produces action items, each assignee receives a Slack notification with a link to the meeting note. Unassigned items are routed to the meeting creator so nothing gets dropped.
  • Richer Slack messages — action item DMs now include the meeting note link directly in the message body, not just as a button.

GitHub improvements

  • Personal token refresh — personal GitHub tokens now refresh silently. Previously, tokens expired after 8 hours and any push or commit-detail lookup would fail until you manually reconnected.
  • Uninstall cleanup — uninstalling the Falconer GitHub App now removes the integration tile and cleans up associated data automatically.

Notification settings

The notification preferences page in Settings has been updated with a cleaner layout covering all notification types across inbox, email, and Slack channels.

Model preferences

  • Claude Opus 4.8 — now available as a model option for all organizations.

Home and navigation

  • Inbox — a collapsible Inbox component is now available on the Home page. It surfaces pending items, supports filtering to unread only (preference persists across sessions), shows user profile images, and can be collapsed.
  • Collapse sections — clicking a section header in the sidebar now collapses or expands that section.
  • Folder sharing — the “Anyone with the link” permission row is now visible and editable in the folder share dialog. Editors of shared private folders can now create documents and subfolders inside them.
  • Shared document view — publicly shared documents now show the Falconer logo in the header. The author attribution line now shows owner email addresses.

Fixes

Editor

  • Title autosave — rapid title edits are now debounced and serialized, preventing race conditions that could lose changes.
  • Comment highlight on unresolve — resolving then unresolving a comment correctly restores the highlight in the document.
  • Math preserved on agent edits — when Falcon edits a document, dollar-sign math syntax is parsed into rendered math nodes instead of left as raw text.
  • Equation numbering — numbered LaTeX equation environments now render correctly.
  • Checked task styling — completed checklist items are now dimmed, making it easier to scan what’s done vs. pending.
  • Heading blank space — editing a heading no longer inserts a spurious blank line below it.
  • “Duplicate” rename — the “Make a copy” option in document menus is now labeled Duplicate.
  • Search and replace shortcut — unified under Cmd+Option+F. Search-only mode opens by default; pressing Option adds the replace field.
  • macOS shortcuts — keyboard shortcuts across the editor, search, and chat now correctly use Cmd on macOS, freeing up Ctrl for native text editing.

Chat and agent

  • Paste references in chat — Falconer document references pasted into the chat prompt now resolve as inline reference chips instead of rendering as raw text.
  • Code reference links — references to code elements (functions, classes, methods) cited in chat now correctly link to their file in the GitHub repository.
  • Thinking mode ordering — thinking intensity options are now ordered correctly: Low → Medium → High → X High → Max.

Home and navigation

  • Stale docs label — the Freshness stat tile on the home page is now labeled Stale docs.
  • Onboarding — the onboarding wizard is now a single screen, replacing the previous multi-step flow.
