Platform Updates Friday, January 9, 2026

Bug Fixes and Improvements

This next update focuses on stability, clarity, and smoother day-to-day use. Nothing flashy. Just things working the way they should.

Your Work Stays Updated 

We fixed an issue where threads, documents, and folders weren't always showing your latest changes. Now when you make updates, you'll see them immediately without needing to refresh.

Smoother Scrolling 

When you send a message, the screen now scrolls to show Sophia's response right away instead of jumping to the bottom of the conversation.

Cleaner Interface 

The thread list no longer overlaps the logo, so navigation feels less cluttered.

Staying Logged In 

Fixed an issue that was logging users out too often. 

Verification Codes Are Clearer 

When you request a verification code, the system now tells you whether it's being sent to your email or phone, so you know where to look.

Better File Parsing 

We also increased processing time for longer documents, so uploads with 100+ pages won't time out.

Assessment Updates 

We've updated our internal references for the DAS-II and WISC-V to improve accuracy when working with these assessments.

Recommendation Generator Fix 

Fixed an issue where the Recommendation Generator could cause display problems.

TLDR; Overview of Major Updates

Here are the biggest updates you will see in the platform

• Chat + Studio Writer is now one singular interface

• File folder organization

• Multi-PDF upload

• Upload different file types (PDF, PNG, JPEG, CSV, .DOCX, HTML)

• Bell curves, charts, graphs, and tables are built into the Studio Writer

• Preset templates available

• Higher accuracy (less hallucinations)

• Personalization (add your own custom instructions for Sophia)

We’ve merged Chat and Studio Writer into one unified interface. Now you can talk through your thinking with Sophia, iterate, and then when ready, click "Add to Document” or “Create Document” and then add it directly to your document with one click.

What This Looks Like in Practice

You're writing a psychological evaluation. You ask Sophia for help analyzing scores from a recent WJ-V. She gives you a draft. You say, "Make the language more parent-friendly." She revises. You say, "Now connect this to the classroom observations." She does.

When it reads the way you want, you click one button, and it’s added straight to your doc!

Then you keep going, same conversation, same document, same workspace.

Detailed Breakdown of What's New

Upload Multiple PDFs at Once

This has been one of our most requested features for a long time. You can now upload multiple PDF files in a single action, both in conversations and when using tools. No more uploading one file at a time. No more waiting between each upload. Select your files and go.

Bell Curves Are Here

You asked for this one constantly, and we heard you. Bell curve visualizations are now built directly into the editor. You can create them right inside your reports without needing external tools or image workarounds. Bar charts and line graphs are also available for those moments when a visual tells the story better than text.

A very cool feature of the bell curve feature is that you can paste in your scores and then generate a bell curve!

Organization That Makes Sense

We rebuilt how your work is organized based on how school psychologists actually think about their cases. Instead of scattered threads, you now have folders and documents (think Google Docs). Each evaluation can live in its own folder with all related documents in one place. Your evaluations, notes, and reports stay together, so you don't have to hunt through separate areas of the platform.

Real Formatting Tools

Line spacing options (single, 1.5, double). Subscripts and superscripts that actually work. Text highlighting. Color coding. Full control over fonts, sizes, alignment, and indentation. These are the tools you need to create professional reports, and now they're all built in.

Templates You Can Make Your Own

You can now upload, edit, and favorite your own templates. If your district has a specific report format, bring it in. If you've built a structure that works for you, save it. Templates are no longer static resources you choose from. They're tools you can customize and build on.

Favorite the Things You Use Most

Stop hunting for what you need. You can now favorite templates, folders, documents, threads, saved prompts, and tools. Your most-used resources stay within reach.

Personalization That Remembers How You Work

Two new features help Sophia work the way you work. Custom Instructions let you set preferences that apply across your sessions, so you don't have to repeat yourself every time. Memories allow Sophia to recall relevant context from previous conversations, making her responses sharper and more aligned with how you actually practice.

Student Demographics Built Into Folders

As you upload student information into a folder, School Psych AI will now generate demographics that you can use directly within Studio Writer. No more re-entering the same information across documents.

Create and Add to Documents Directly from Chat

You can now create a new document straight from a conversation with Sophia. You can also add content to an existing document without leaving the chat. Ask Sophia to write something, review it, and send it to your report in one flow.

Studio Writer: Now Works As a Deeper Writing Environment

Studio Writer has been rebuilt to feel familiar if you use Google Docs or Word, while keeping the practitioner focus that makes School Psych AI useful for your specific work.

Home View

• Search documents and folders by name

• Sort by last accessed or alphabetical order

• Switch between grid and list views

• Create, rename, duplicate, or delete documents and folders easily

• Preview templates before you use them

Folder View

• See all documents in one place

• Preview documents without opening them

• Copy, search, and export without breaking flow

• The ability to chat with Sophia stays connected to the document you're working in

Why this matters:

Your evaluations, notes, and reports are in one organized space rather than scattered threads.

A Much More Capable Editor

The editor now supports the needs of school psychologists when writing reports.

Writing and Formatting

• Line spacing options include single, 1.5, and double

• Full control over fonts, size, bold, italics, underline, color, and highlights

• Indentation, alignment, lists, and clear formatting tools

Tables and Visuals

• Full table editing, including merging, splitting, resizing, and styling

• Highlight rows, columns, or cells

• Built-in charts including bar, line, and bell curves

• Images can be resized and positioned directly in the document

Why this matters:

You can build clean, professional reports without exporting early or fixing formatting later.

Faster and More Stable

Behind the scenes, we refactored core systems to reduce lag and improve reliability.

What You'll Notice

• Faster responses when typing or editing

• Fewer delays when switching between documents

• More consistent behavior across tools and chats

What This Update Means for You

• Less time fixing formatting

• Less time re-entering information

• Fewer workflow interruptions

• More confidence in what Sophia returns

This update is about making School Psych AI feel like it belongs in your workday. Not something you have to work around.

Inside The Prompt Lab, Your Team Learns How to Prompt For:

• Psychological evaluations

• Assessment interpretation and report writing

• FBAs and behavior documentation

SPAI Prompt Coaches

We are also rolling out Prompt Coaches, trained practitioners who help you achieve accurate, consistent results with the platform so you feel confident using it day-to-day.

Prompt Coaches Will Help You:

• Get answers live instead of guessing or getting stuck

This Includes:

The goal is simple. Better prompting. Better results. Less frustration.

If you have ever thought, "I know this tool can do more, but I'm not getting what I need," this is for you.

Built by Listening to You

Every feature and new service in this update came from conversations directly from practitioners who use our platform everyday. We read your support tickets. You shared with us how you navigate the platform. We listened when you told us what slowed you down and what you wished worked differently.

We're Just Getting Started

This release reflects months of listening, building, and refining. But it's not the end. We'll continue improving based on what you tell us matters most. If something isn't working the way you need it to, let us know. Your feedback shapes what comes next.

Thank you for being part of this community.
