What Shipped in August: New Distill Technology, Context Gets a Guided Setup

August shipped new Distill technology for turning raw docs into ready-to-use AI context, a guided builder for your knowledge base, a way to publish documents publicly, a Kanban-style board for organizing a Nest, and a Community Nest that's noticeably faster everywhere you look.

New Distill Technology

Distill turns raw documents into ready-to-use AI context. Point it at what you've already written — policies, wikis, transcripts, whatever you've got — and it generates the structured context your agents work from, built directly into PromptOwl.

Context Gets a Guided Setup

Magic Context Builder walks you through setting up your knowledge base the same way Magic Agent Builder walks you through building an agent — answer a few questions, and it handles the setup.

Publish a Document, on Your Terms

Turn any document into its own public page. Choose who can see it — open to anyone, gated by a shared code, an email link, or an invite list — and revoke access or check who's viewed it, anytime.

Everything Loads Faster

Performance improvements across Community Nest speed up your requests, sharpen accuracy, and manage your context window better — so an agent works with what matters, not everything it could technically reach.

See Your Nest as a Board

A Kanban-style board view for your nest — organize documents into columns you define and reorder, with the full width of the page to work with instead of a cramped sidebar list.

The Small Wins That Add Up

  • More models to choose from — the latest Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Grok models are available when you set up an agent.
  • Community Nest loads automatically as an embedded sidebar — no separate step to open it.
  • Connecting an agent to a Community Nest is a single step.
  • Multiple API keys per account.
  • Shared content goes through a review and approve workflow, with a reason attached if it's turned down.
  • Request a document or nest deletion and get a clear approve-or-reject answer, instead of it just vanishing — or not.
  • Search lives in the header now, plus a dashboard-wide search across every nest you have, with a preview of the matching text.
  • See your own drafts in one place instead of losing track of them.
  • Owl Desktop: chat supports image attachments — attach, drag-and-drop, or paste.

That's August: Distill built in, a guided path for your context, documents you can publish on your terms, a board to organize it all, and a Nest that moves noticeably faster.
