Summary

AnswerCue v2.8.11 saves preparation chats as interviews as soon as the first message is sent. Conversations appear immediately in the interview sidebar and receive automatic titles without requiring a live interview first.

What's New

  • Chat interviews: Sending the first message creates one saved interview and updates the sidebar count immediately.
  • Automatic chat titles: The selected LLM generates a short title from the first message. The sidebar and conversation header update together.

Improvements

  • Prep conversations remain available after reopening the app or switching interviews.
  • Starting a live interview from a saved prep chat reuses the same interview ID. Stopping and restarting continue the same history.
  • Chat-only conversations show Start interview and remain in the preparation phase until a live session is started.

Fixes

  • Prep chats no longer remain hidden from the interview list until a live session ends.
  • Empty drafts do not create sidebar entries. Repeated messages and save retries do not create duplicate interviews.
  • Delayed title generation cannot overwrite a manual rename or the title of a completed live interview.
  • A title request failure retains the chat with a title derived from the first message.

Technical

  • Uses the existing SQLite meeting index and workspace storage; no database schema or storage-path change is required.
  • Saves the conversation before launching asynchronous title generation. Title generation uses the selected LLM provider and may incur a small additional API request.
  • Full automated suite: 1,062 passed, zero failed, 41 skipped. Adds regression coverage for first-message registration, empty drafts, duplicate retries, title failures, and manual/live title protection.
  • Browser UI checks cover sidebar/header title updates, subsequent messages, app reopening, and reuse of the saved interview ID on live start.
  • Existing provider-key and installed-user audio checks still require user-machine testing. Electron backend type checking retains pre-existing diagnostics.
  • Release CI validates packaged Mac runtime dependencies, DMGs, signatures, and macOS 27 Dock transitions. Windows CI verifies package inputs, the packaged renderer, and installer signing status.
  • User configuration, provider keys, Persona, custom instructions, and previous interviews are retained.
