Server-sent events replace WebSockets, Instagram can now be connected in a few clicks, and planner plus Chrome extension updates keep work organized.
What's new
From WebSockets to SSE: Grais now streams over server-sent events, so every response starts quicker, survives refreshes, and wraps up cleanly across the API and Chrome extension—no setup required on your side.
Instagram now supported: Connect Instagram inside Grais without extra tooling. Open Instagram DMs in your browser and link Grais to your next conversation.
Planner clarifies next steps: Planner checklists keep the latest run front and center, helping the agent outline what needs to happen to reach your goal while Quick Picks suggest smarter follow-ups.
Chrome extension controls stay organized: Pause auto-scroll when you need to read, jump back with a single click, and keep drafts scoped to each conversation so work remains tidy.
Clearer operational signals: Unified alerts, searchable error messages, and clearer activity badges make it obvious when something needs your attention.
Why it matters
SSE keeps streams connected even when the network blips, so you never lose context if you refresh or swap tabs.
Instagram joins the existing channel lineup, so teams can respond in DMs without changing tools.
Planner and Chrome updates surface the next best action where you work, reducing back-and-forth to stay organized.
Try it out
Start a long-running stream in the Chrome extension—everything already runs on SSE, so you can refresh or tab away without losing progress.
Connect Instagram from the Channels page, open Instagram DMs in your browser, and let Grais guide the next conversation while the planner keeps every step aligned.
Update the Chrome extension and run a long stream; the updated controls keep context steady from start to finish.
Open Chrome extension settings to enable Planner and keep its checklist surfaced while you work.
Behind the scenes
Support tooling now flags slowdown before anyone feels it, so help arrives faster when a stream hiccups.
Planner data refreshes in the background, keeping checklists accurate without manual resets.
The WebSocket-to-SSE migration happened automatically, so you’re already on the faster path with nothing to install.
