What’s new

• Bring a document into the conversation: signed-in users can attach a PDF, DOCX, TXT or Markdown file up to 3 MB directly beside the chat composer.
• Ask follow-up questions about the same document: the attachment stays available during the current chat session until it is removed or replaced.
• Works with Review Content: an attached article, sermon, study or manuscript can be reviewed without pasting the entire document into the prompt.
• Private by design: attached documents are kept separate from the shared 119 knowledge library and automatically expire.
• Where: Chat → Attach, beside Send.

• Visual teaching cards: the Teachings page now presents thumbnails, titles, descriptions and clear actions in an easy-to-scan responsive card layout.
• Browse by Type: quickly narrow the library to 119 Teachings, Audio Sermons, Psalms of 119 Music, Scripture Sketches, Learn Biblical Hebrew, 119 Podcasts, or Promos & Updates.
• Better search feedback: searches and filters now show a true no-results state instead of unexpectedly returning the full library.
• More sorting choices: sort A–Z, Z–A or Newest, with verified publication dates used where available.
• Where: Teachings.

• Download teaching transcripts: hundreds of teaching pages now offer a Download Transcript (PDF) button when a verified transcript is available.
• 119 Podcasts are organized correctly: the official podcast episodes are now grouped together under the 119 Podcasts category.
• Psalms of 119 music links: music detail pages now provide additional Spotify and Apple Music listening options where available.

• More current content: additional verified 2026 teaching releases have been added to the library.
• Cleaner catalog: retired, duplicate or superseded entries were removed from the active library, and several teaching links were corrected.
• Clearer content labels: cards now better distinguish teachings, Audio Sermons, music, Scripture Sketches, Learn Biblical Hebrew lessons, podcasts, promos, trailers and updates.

• About 119 Ministries: a new native About section introduces the ministry directly within the 119 Assistant website.
• History of 119 Ministries: the ministry history is now available as a rewritten, easier-to-read website page.
• Faith Statement: the current 119 doctrinal positions are organized into a dedicated Faith Statement page.
• Contact 119 Ministries: ministry contact information now has its own page, clearly separated from 119 Assistant technical support.
• Where: About 119 Ministries → About, History, Faith Statement or Contact.

• Choose the response depth you need: Standard, Boost and Super Boost now provide three clear Response Power levels for everyday questions through more demanding study and reasoning.
• Clear credit costs: Standard uses 1 credit, Boost uses 3 credits and Super Boost uses 5 credits.
• Easier to see what is selected: the active Response Power level now has a clearer selected state so you can tell at a glance which option is in use.
• Where: Chat → Response Power.

• More reliable response handling: improved how generated replies are received and displayed across all Response Power levels.
• Cleaner failed-response handling: if a reply cannot be generated successfully, the failure is handled more clearly and the failed attempt does not consume credits.

• Response Power and Task are now clearly separated: Response Power controls the depth of the answer, while Task controls what you want the 119 Assistant to do.
• Ask a Bible Question is the normal starting point: the default Task is now clearly labeled for the most common use of the 119 Assistant.
• Advanced Tasks are easier to understand: specialized workflows are grouped under Advanced Tasks, including Draft a Response, Review Content, Guided Q&A, Debate a Claim, Build a Study, Explain Simply, Kids and Family Study.
• Clearer selection and guidance: improved labels, descriptions and selected states make it easier to see which Task is currently active.
• Where: Chat → Task.

• New Starter option: a $4.99/month Starter plan provides 125 monthly credits.
• Clearer usage wording: account and usage areas now refer to credits rather than message counts, since different Response Power levels can use different amounts.

• Standard is now the clear default: most Bible questions should use Standard, so it is presented as the recommended starting point instead of giving every specialized mode equal visual weight.
• Advanced Features stay out of the way until needed: Response, Review, Guided Q&A, Debate, Study, Explain Simply, Kids and Family Study are now grouped behind a single Advanced Features control.
• Clearer workflow names and guidance: specialized modes now use more descriptive labels such as “Draft a Response,” “Review Content,” “Guided Q&A,” “Debate a Claim” and “Build a Study,” with guidance explaining when each mode is appropriate.
• Fresh chats begin in Standard: a new conversation starts with the normal 119 Assistant experience, while an intentionally selected advanced mode can remain active for the conversation where it is being used.
• Where: Chat → below the prompt box.
• Why: keeps the everyday experience simple and reduces accidental use of specialized modes.

• Search inside past conversations: the existing “Search chats…” box now finds words and phrases inside stored user and assistant messages, not just chat titles.
• Search across folders: results can surface a matching conversation even when it is stored in a different folder from the one currently selected.
• Helpful result previews: matching chats show the folder name and a short excerpt from the conversation so it is easier to recognize the right discussion before opening it.
• Normal folder browsing is unchanged: clearing the search box returns you to the folder view you were using before the search.
• Where: Chat → left sidebar → Search chats…
• Why: makes older Bible studies and answers much easier to find as your conversation history grows.

• Ask 119: Scripture previews now include an Ask 119 action that places a ready-to-edit question such as “Explain Romans 3:31 in context.” into the chat composer without automatically sending it.
• Read Context: verse references can expand to the full chapter inside the same pop-up, with a “Show Passage” option to return to the original verse. Whole-chapter references already show the context, so the extra button is omitted there.
• Related Passages: quickly prepares a prompt asking the 119 Assistant to show the key connected Scriptures and explain how they relate to the selected passage.
• 119 Teachings: the pop-up can search the existing 119 teaching library and show up to three relevant teachings with direct links to their teaching pages.
• Cleaner WEB previews: fixed the duplicated Scripture heading so references such as “Zechariah 14 — WEB” appear only once.
• Copy the current view: Copy full passage continues to work and copies whichever passage or chapter context is currently displayed.
• Where: Chat → click or tap a Scripture reference in a 119 Assistant response.
• Why: turns the Scripture preview into a compact Bible-study launchpad without adding clutter to the main chat interface.

• New copy options: You can now copy the assistant’s reply as Markdown, Plain text, BBCode or HTML. The plain‑text option removes all Markdown and HTML tags (for example, it no longer includes <hr />).
• Share on Facebook: Added a “Share on Facebook” button that opens Facebook’s share dialog with your reply pre‑filled.
• Where: Chat → response actions (below each assistant reply).
• Why: gives you more control over copying format and makes sharing easier.

• Teaching library page: introduces a dedicated page that lists all of 119 Ministries’ teachings in one place, with cards linking to detailed pages for each individual teaching.
• AI‑powered search engine: our new transcript‑driven search uses OpenAI embeddings and a Supabase/pgvector index so queries match the meaning of a teaching, not just keywords or Scripture references.
• Sticky search bar: on the teaching pages the search input stays visible as you scroll; its blue border and light background in light mode improve contrast.
• Refined card design: teaching cards now have rounded corners, soft shadows and consistent spacing to make the library easier to scan.
• Unified styling: buttons and links adopt the 119 brand blue on hover with white text, and links on individual teaching pages match this style.
• Better typography: comfortable line‑height and shorter paragraphs create a polished reading experience across both light and dark themes.
• Why: to make discovering and reading teachings more powerful and pleasant—semantic search helps you find what you need, and the UI polish makes browsing a joy.

• Buttons stay clickable after app switching: fixed an iPhone/iPad Safari issue where all buttons (including Send) could become unresponsive after leaving Safari with the keyboard open (e.g., switching apps) and then returning.
• Auto-clears stuck focus/keyboard state: when Safari is backgrounded, the app now blurs any focused input/textarea so Safari doesn’t keep a “stuck” focus/keyboard overlay.
• Restores tap hit-testing on return: when Safari becomes active again, the app triggers a tiny, invisible repaint/reflow so taps and clicks route correctly.
• Where: iPhone/iPad Safari (iOS/iPadOS) — app-wide, most noticeable in the Chat composer and other clickable UI.
• Why: prevents a Safari-specific “dead tap” state caused by keyboard/focus and hit-testing quirks when switching apps.
• Note: if you return mid-typing, the message box may not be focused—just tap the composer to continue (intentional tradeoff for stability).
• Tip: this is a workaround for a known Safari issue. We recommend Google Chrome with the 119 Assistant for best performance.

• New toggle in Standard mode info panel: “Auto-reset mode to Standard after each reply.”
• What it does: if enabled, once the assistant finishes generating a response, the selected mode automatically switches back to Standard.
• Why: prevents accidentally staying in Response / Review / Debate / Kids / etc. and getting the wrong style when you come back later.
• Where: Chat → Mode bar → Standard → Mode description panel (under the Standard guidance).
• Tip: turn this on if you frequently switch modes and forget to switch back. Leave it off if you prefer staying in a mode for multiple prompts in a row.

• Now closes the drawer: on mobile, tapping “+ New Chat” from the left sidebar now automatically closes the sidebar drawer, so the new conversation is immediately visible.
• Before: the new chat was created, but the sidebar stayed open and covered the chat until manually dismissed.
• Desktop: no change (desktop sidebar behavior remains the same).
• Where: Chat → left sidebar (mobile drawer).
• Why: prevents the drawer from obscuring the assistant UI and matches common mobile navigation behavior.
• Tip: if the drawer still appears stuck on a device, try a hard refresh after the update ships.

• New Chat launches immediately: starting a new chat now opens a fresh composer right away, even if your previous reply is still generating.
• No unexpected redirects: the app now updates the URL only if you’re still viewing the current conversation, so you won’t be pulled back to an older thread when a response finishes.
• Persistent Send button: fixed an issue where the Send button could become stuck after leaving or returning to a chat; it now resets correctly.
• Where: Chat → message composer & left sidebar.
• Why: makes it easy to start multiple conversations at once and prevents confusion when switching threads.
• Tip: feel free to begin a new chat while another is generating—each chat will finish independently.

We’re thrilled to introduce the Community Prompt Hub, a brand new space built just for our users. This hub is designed to help you craft better prompts and achieve more accurate results. Here’s what you can do:

• Learn and explore: Browse a curated collection of tried-and-tested prompts submitted by fellow community members.
• Share and contribute: Submit your own prompts and help expand our library of best practices.
• Engage and vote: Like your favourite prompts to let us know which ones are most helpful and highlight them for others.
• Why: fosters collaboration and learning, helping everyone achieve better answers.
• Tip: dive in, explore, and contribute your best prompts! Your input helps build a richer hub for all.

• Added chat counts next to each folder name, shown in grey parentheses (e.g., Torah (2)), so you can see activity at a glance.
• Introduced a dedicated “No Folder” filter row at the top of the folder list, with its own count (e.g., No Folder (5)), making it clear these are chats not assigned to any folder.
• Replaced the ambiguous “All” label (which implied all chats) with “No Folder” (which accurately describes the content).
• Made the folder area more consistent and intuitive by treating “No Folder” like a real folder option, with the same styling and placement.
• Resolved sidebar issues caused by earlier partial changes (duplicate count logic and broken folder‑list markup), ensuring the folder list renders correctly and reliably.
• Where: Chat → left sidebar.
• Why: improves clarity, navigation, and reliability when organising chats.

• Referral links for every user: each account now includes a unique referral link and code on the account page. Share this link or code with friends and family.
• First month free for new subscribers: when someone signs up using a referral link and subscribes to the Basic or Pro plan, they automatically get their first month free.
• Gift code rewards for referrers: after a referred user’s first invoice succeeds, the referrer is automatically issued a gift code worth 100 additional messages. You can redeem this code for yourself or share it with someone else.
• Automatic coupon handling: referred sign‑ups no longer need to enter a promo code. The referral link includes everything needed to apply the free‑month coupon during checkout.
• Persistent referral tracking: the system now remembers referral codes through account creation and email confirmation. Even if the user signs up and confirms their email later, the referral is still applied when they choose a plan.
• Improved account page: the referral section has been redesigned to match the site’s look and feel. Users can easily copy their referral link, see their encoded referral code, and understand how the referral program works.
• Where: Account → referral section.
• Why: makes it easier to share 119 Assistant with others and rewards users who bring new subscribers.
• Tip: visit your account page to copy your referral link and start sharing today.

On mobile, verse previews now stay open while you scroll or copy text—closing only when you tap Close or press Esc/back. Desktop behavior is unchanged.

• Desktop: hover to preview, click to pin, press Esc or scroll away to close (unchanged).
• Mobile: bottom-sheet pop-up persists during scrolling; tapping outside no longer dismisses it—use the Close button to exit.
• Fixes accidental closures when reading long passages or copying text on mobile.
• Where: Chat & team conversations.
• Why: aligns with mobile UX guidelines and prevents unexpected pop-up disappearance.
• Tip: if you still see old behavior, perform a hard refresh.

• Mobile: the Chats / Folders drawer now slides smoothly in and out. You can swipe left on the drawer or the dark backdrop to close it.
• Desktop: click the hamburger icon to toggle the drawer (unchanged).
• The dark overlay no longer blocks taps when the drawer is closed, so you can interact with the rest of the page without accidental tap traps.
• The drawer reliably reopens after you close it—no more stuck states when swiping away.
• Where: Chat → left sidebar.
• Why: improves the user experience on phones and tablets by matching common mobile navigation patterns.
• Tip: try swiping the drawer closed or tapping outside to hide it. If you still see the old behavior, do a hard refresh.

• All replies now appear gradually with a smooth typing effect; no more sudden walls of text.
• Both standard chat and team conversations use the same streaming API, ensuring a unified experience across all modes.
• Improved reliability for long replies and faster feedback when the assistant is processing your question.
• Where: Chat → all modes (Standard, Study, Q&A, Review, Debate, Kids) and Team Studio conversations.
• Why: creates a more polished, professional feel and reduces cognitive load while reading.
• Tip: if you still see replies appear all at once, try a hard refresh or clear your cache. Let us know if the issue persists.

• When Boost is on, a small blue banner labeled “Boost mode powered on” now appears directly above the prompt box.
• Toggling Boost on or off updates the banner instantly—no more refreshing the page to see whether Boost is active.
• The banner uses the same 119 blue as the Send button and prompt outline, so the status is clear without adding visual noise.
• Where: Chat → message composer, when Boost (GPT-5) is enabled.
• Why: gives a persistent, easy-to-spot reminder when a Boosted reply will cost credits and keeps the UI in sync with the toggle.
• Tip: if the banner doesn’t appear/disappear when you toggle Boost, try a hard refresh and confirm you’re on Build v1.25.

• While a reply is running, the rotating status phrases (for example, “Sending…”, “Unrolling the scrolls…”, “Testing everything…”) now appear inside the prompt box as the placeholder instead of “Ask the 119 Assistant…”.
• The composer becomes read-only while the assistant is working, clearly signaling that you can’t submit another question until the reply finishes.
• Once the response is complete, the placeholder switches back to “Ask the 119 Assistant…” and the box is editable again.
• Where: Chat → message composer.
• Why: avoids confusion during longer replies and keeps the live status message right where you’re looking—next to the disabled Send button.
• Tip: if you still see “Ask the 119 Assistant…” while a reply is generating, do a hard refresh and try again.

• If you start a long reply, move to another chat, and then come back before it finishes, the Generating response… card now reappears and stays visible until the answer is complete.
• The Send button remains disabled and shows the spinning progress icon while the assistant is still working, so it’s clear the reply is still in progress.
• Behind the scenes, the assistant keeps generating in the background and the conversation picks up where it left off when you return.
• Where: Chat → any conversation with a long-running reply.
• Why: prevents confusion when jumping between chats and makes it obvious when a reply is still being prepared.
• Tip: if you return to a chat and don’t see the Generating response… card while you know a reply should still be running, try a hard refresh.

• Old Testament quotes replace all-caps “LORD” with “YHWH” for the divine name.
• The assistant’s own prose avoids “Lord”/“LORD” for the Father, preferring “YHWH” except when clearly referring to Yeshua or a human.
• Where: Chat → all assistant replies.
• Why: aligns with 119 Ministries’ preference for using the tetragrammaton.
• Tip: if a verse still shows “LORD,” start a new chat or quote it again.

Short, standalone lines are now automatically promoted to bold section headings and styled with a larger font when using several chat modes. This makes sections easier to spot and mirrors the style previously exclusive to Debate mode.

• Where: Standard, Review, ELI12, Family Study & Debate.
• Not in: Response, Kids, Study & Q&A.
• Why: improves readability and consistency across article-style replies while keeping conversational modes (Q&A, Kids) unchanged.
