Release Notes

What's New (June 30th, 2025)

🔗 Share your MCP setups with the whole team

You can now share personal MCP servers—complete with custom AI rules—with your entire workspace. Once your server is dialed in, just hit “Share with workspace” to make it available to everyone. Your teammates can start using shared tools via Glue AI right away (they’ll just need to sign in to the service). It’s a game-changer for managing tasks together in tools like Linear and Asana.

Share your MCP Servers with the whole workspace!

✅ Glue is now an official Asana MCP client

You can now set up your Asana MCP server in Glue! That means smoother, smarter workflows when using Glue AI to manage Asana tasks. Ask Glue AI to assign, update, and create tasks—all without leaving the thread. It’s the fastest way to keep projects moving without context-switching.

Improvements

  • Built a new tool call block component for cleaner display of AI actions in threads.

  • Added client-side validation to prevent users from connecting to unsupported localhost MCP servers—complete with a helpful error message and link to proxy setup instructions.

Fixes

  • Fixed an intermittent issue where pinning or unpinning a message didn’t update the UI correctly.

  • Fixed inconsistent button icon colors across the app.

What's New (June 25th, 2025)

⁄ Slash commands for quick actions

Want to start a Zoom call right where you're messaging in Glue? Instead of digging through a menu, you can now use the / key or press the / icon at the bottom of the message editor to instantly bring up thread actions, and you can type what action you want to take to narrow down the list. This replaced the lightning bolt icon for thread actions.

We will introduce more slash commands soon!

Improvements

  • Replaced the old lightning bolt icon in the message editor with a more intuitive slash command icon to match the new workflow.

  • Updated the thread action menu layout to match the new design for faster scanning and usability.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where source links in Glue AI responses weren’t displaying legibly in the super tab.

  • Fixed a bug that prevented scrolling back to the beginning of long threads in some cases.

  • Fixed an error that occurred when attempting to create a chat without listing a recipient.

  • Fixed an issue with recipient select dropdown colors for better visibility.

What's New (June 18th, 2025)

😄 Custom emojis, now in messages!

You can now search for and send your custom emojis in your messages. Your team's inside jokes and branded icons just got a lot more expressive.

Note: Custom emojis still need to be created from the reaction button rather than in the message editor.

Improvements

  • Sync editor option preferences for what the enter key does (i.e. start new line or send) across devices

  • Added support for passing the trigger event across all modal openings, improving focus management and accessibility.

  • Made triggerEvent a required parameter for modal openings, with fallback for auto-opened cases.

  • Form submissions (like workspace billing or message sending) now pass through triggerEvent for better consistency.

  • Improved the UX when leaving a group from the inbox — you’ll now stay on your current tab.

  • Unified the AI and regular editors behind the scenes to pave the way for upcoming tabbed editing features.

  • Updated the emoji picker for better accessibility and future flexibility.

  • Significantly reduced unnecessary re-renders in the app layout by isolating hooks and optimizing component structure.

  • Enabled code quality rules to avoid barrel file re-exports for clearer and safer imports.

Fixes

  • Fixed the "More unread" banner not appearing when unread threads are in a collapsed sidebar section.

  • Fixed certain "action" links not properly opening the Settings modal.

What's New (June 12th, 2025)

🧠 Personalize Glue AI with AI Rules

You can now tailor Glue AI's behavior to match your unique communication style using AI Rules, available in the Labs section of your profile and preferences. These user-specific settings allow you to guide how Glue AI responds and suggests content within the platform.

  • Messaging Rules: Define how Glue AI interacts with you directly, setting preferences for tone, formatting, language, and more.

  • Suggestion Rules: Customize how Glue AI proposes thread names, recipient suggestions, and group emojis, aligning with your team's conventions.

  • MCP Server Rules: Control Glue AI's interactions with each MCP Server individually, specifying default values, templates, and naming conventions for tasks and documents.

To set up your AI Rules, navigate to your Preferences, open the Labs section, and select AI Rules. MCP Server Rules are managed from the Server itself. For more detailed guidance, visit our AI Rules documentation.

🕵 AI Sessions — workshop with Glue AI in private, wow in public

Now when you mention @Glue AI in the message editor, you will enter a private session that gives you a preview of Glue AI's response before you send it in the thread or chat with others. This gives you the flexibility to review and iterate on the results until you are ready to share broadly.

Just type @Glue AI or hit the ✨ icon in any thread, group chat, or DM to start a session. You'll see a new editor, a response preview, and options to refine your prompt before publishing.

When you @ mention Glue AI in a message, the editor will enter a special private session mode

Check out Evan's post about AI Rules and Sessions to see how this combines with MCP to supercharge your work in Glue.

  • Pasting code blocks automatically detects and tags the correct language—no extra steps needed.

🤖 MCP is here for everyone — connect Glue AI to your tools

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is now live for all customers in the Labs section of Glue. You can connect MCP Servers for supported third party apps to allow Glue AI to take your requests (like "turn the contents of this thread into an issue in Linear") and translate them into API-level commands.

MCP is an emerging technology, but it is developing rapidly, and new companies are continuously adding support for MCP servers. Curious how it works? Check out Evan's post about MCP to dive deeper into why we’re so excited about it.

  • Fixed a visual bug where link attachments overflowed the message editor when focused.

  • Fixed a font flash (FOUC) when loading the mono font in certain views.

  • Fixed an issue where switching super tabs with an empty route memory would unexpectedly close the secondary pane.

  • Fixed a JavaScript alert popup that appeared in the Mac app due to a security issue in certain threads.

  • Fixed a bug that prevented single-backtick code blocks from rendering properly if the contents included a link.

  • Fixed an issue where code blocks wouldn't form properly when using Shift+Enter under “Enter to Send” settings.

Cut the Noise: Turn Off Replies in Threads & Groups

Big news for large teams—you can now turn off replies for threads and groups to make them announcement-only. This isn’t a default setting as most threads and groups should be open for discussion, but it gives admins and thread starters flexibility to limit specific conversations sent to a large audience to help reduce noise.

Limit replies in a Thread

Thread starters and admins can now turn off replies in a thread. When enabled, only the thread starter, group admins, and workspace admins who are on the thread can respond. Keep key updates distraction-free and reduce the number of notifications for threads sent to a large audience. Learn how to set this up →

Limit replies in a Group Chat

Glue AI gets its own tab! ✨

Glue AI is now even easier to find and use with its own dedicated space in Glue. We designed this to be a familiar, intuitive experience, similar to other LLMs like ChatGPT.

This new section is your personal scratch pad with Glue AI. It's completely private to you and makes it easy to see all your past Glue AI queries in one place.

  • Add people or groups to the Glue AI thread to collaborate and move it into your thread inbox

  • Change your LLM model

Thread Reminders ⏰

You can now set a reminder on a thread (clock icon ⏰) so it reappears in your inbox at a time that works for you. When you set a reminder, the thread is temporarily archived from your inbox until the date and time of your choosing.

This gives you more control over how you manage your thread to-do's while keeping your inbox clean.

Setting a thread reminder from the inbox
