What's new in Merciv

The sidebar, Recents, and entity cards have a cleaner look with consistent iconography throughout. Every chat now carries a live status — in progress, waiting on your input, or recently finished — right in the lists, and a browser-tab favicon mirrors it, so you can tell when background work needs you without switching back to the tab.

Responses now stream in with a natural word-by-word fade instead of jumping in bursts. And a brief disconnect no longer leaves a finished chat looking stuck — Merciv catches the conversation back up as soon as you reconnect.

Ask for a document, artifact, or report by name and Merciv finds it, returning clickable results that open straight to the file, dashboard, or knowledge folder — so you can point it at exactly the right source without leaving the conversation.

Point Merciv at your organization's own MCP server to bring its tools and data in as a connector, with API-key or OAuth authentication and admin controls over who can use each connection.

A single search now spans skills, brands, documents, tags, integrations, and playbooks in one ranked, keyboard-navigable list — so everything you can bring into a conversation is a single search away.

Knowledge Hub uploads now handle up to 2,500 files and 25 GB per batch, with folders nested up to ten levels deep. Large folder uploads stay reliable end to end — failed chunks retry automatically and duplicates are prevented across tabs — and the page stays usable while a big batch is still processing.

Files that fail to process now show a clear Failed state instead of an endless spinner, so you can spot and re-upload a problem file instead of waiting on one that will never finish.

Knowledge Hub and citation previews now open in the same focused document viewer as artifacts, with page-by-page keyboard navigation, an animated fullscreen, and a download indicator on artifact cards.

The slash command menu and Add Sources popover are now a single, keyboard-navigable menu. From it you can tag a specific brand, skill, or connector straight into a message to steer how Merciv answers.

Files now render with refreshed, consistent type tiles across the Knowledge Hub, chat, artifacts, and previews, so PDFs, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents are recognizable at a glance — part of a broader refresh of iconography across the app.

In Research mode, Merciv can now delegate parts of a question to specialized research agents that work in parallel across your knowledge base, market intelligence, the web, and social sources — then bring back a single, fully cited synthesis. You can follow each delegated run as its own activity card as the work happens.

A new Skills page lets you choose which skills Merciv can use, upload your own custom skills, and share them with teammates. Built-in skills stay on by default, and organization admins can curate the skills available across the org.

Artifacts and file previews now open in a focused, on-brand viewer — a clean reading surface with a thumbnail rail for quick navigation, simple zoom controls, and version history a click away.

Attach a PowerPoint or spreadsheet and Merciv now reads its contents to answer, and keeps the file available for the rest of the conversation instead of asking you to upload it again. Files Merciv produces come back as downloadable cards every time, even when the filename has spaces or symbols.

When connecting Google Drive, SharePoint, or OneDrive, you can now limit a connection to specific folders or sites instead of ingesting the entire account — so a knowledge base holds only the documents you actually want.

Artifacts, stories, reports, and projects now use the same redesigned share modal as the Knowledge Hub — invite collaborators, set roles, manage organization access, and toggle public links from one consistent place.

OneDrive and SharePoint join the list of supported data sources, so research living in Microsoft 365 flows straight into your knowledge base.

A new connections page in Settings gives admins one place to connect, review, and manage every integrated data source.

Admins can now manage knowledge bases scoped to the entire organization, so shared context is governed in one place while sharing stays permission-aware.

Analyses can now return files up to 100 MB, so full datasets and rich exports come back intact instead of truncated.

The first release of Personas & Panels is here. Build personas that represent your key audiences and put questions to them as a panel — grounded in the knowledge your workspace already holds — to pressure-test positioning, concepts, and messaging before they reach the market.

Large CSV and Excel files now run through a dedicated processing pipeline, making uploads faster and more reliable.

The Knowledge Hub has been rebuilt around how teams actually organize research: clearer structure, refined sharing, and thoughtful empty states that guide new workspaces. Anyone can create a knowledge base, and permissions govern the rest — admins can promote a base to the entire organization, and sharing always respects who is allowed to see what.

Tabular data now flows through a typed analysis pipeline from upload to answer, so your numbers keep their meaning at every step.

In-app notifications have been redesigned with a cleaner, warmer look that stays out of your way.

Portfolio views now support level-by-level drill-downs with images, counts, and search at every step, making it faster to move from a market-level view down to a single product.

Public, shareable links for artifacts are available in early access — turning finished analysis into something you can hand to anyone.

Artifacts — including tables — now support collaborative editing with full versioning. Work on the same output as a team, and step back through every version when you need to compare or recover an earlier state.

Merciv now streams its actions as it works, so you can follow each step of an analysis in real time instead of waiting on a spinner.

Stories can now be shared directly with the people who need them, with citations that hold up outside your workspace.

Projects, reports, and folders now share a single, consistent permissions model. Set access once and it applies cleanly through nested folders — with bulk updates when you need to change access for many items at once.

A new source scope filter lets you decide what evidence a question draws from — including switching web sources off entirely for internal-only analysis.

Merciv now recalls relevant context from your previous conversations, so follow-up work builds on what it already knows about your business instead of starting from zero.

Files and artifacts are now fully usable on mobile, and signing in from in-app browsers works smoothly.

Turn your team’s recurring research motions into Playbooks — guided, repeatable workflows that run directly in chat. Codify how your best analysts work once, then let anyone on the team run it.

Merciv can now reason across far larger collections of documents in a single question, synthesizing an answer from everything relevant rather than a narrow slice.

The platform now runs on the latest generation of frontier models, improving reasoning quality and reliability across every workflow.
