We've been away, but we're back with a bang, and we have a feeling this update is going to blow your socks off! It might be the biggest update yet! But before we dive into all the exciting details, let's keep up with tradition and start with a fun pun:\n\n**What do robots do at lunchtime?** \n.....\nHave a megabyte! 🤖😄\n\nNow that we've warmed up, let's jump right in!\n\nTo celebrate this huge update occasion, we want to offer all new customers 25% off for two months. Just use the code: HOLYSMOKESTHEYSHIPFAST when you sign up within the next week. You won't want to miss this deal!\n\nCheck out our plans and subscribe here: **[Chat Thing](https:\u002F\u002Fchatthing.ai\u002Fapp\u002Fbilling)**\n\nAnd to our existing customers, fear not! We appreciate your unwavering support and valuable feedback. In return, we'll credit your account with the same fantastic discount if you reply to this email with some useful feedback, a testimonial, or anything else you think might be helpful. We genuinely want to hear from you!\n\nBut enough with the formalities! We suggest you grab a cup of coffee because we're about to take you on an exciting journey through our latest update!\n\n## 🚀 Introducing GPT-3.5 Turbo 16k 🚀\n\nFor our Standard and above plans, we're thrilled to unveil the brand-spanking-new GPT-3.5 Turbo 16k model for your bots. This incredible upgrade grants your bot an enormous 16k context window, enabling it to utilize more of your data and retain a larger chat history. It's a game-changer when it comes to summarizing extensive text and remembering your conversations.\n\nWhat's even better is that it's priced way more cost-effectively than GPT-4, making it perfect for those who found GPT-4 a bit too pricey. **It only costs 2x your standard message tokens.**\n\n## 🔄 Auto Syncing! 🔄\n\nWe've got something truly powerful for you: auto syncing! Now you can set your data sources to automatically sync every day, week, or month. This feature is especially handy for specific data sources like RSS. Imagine effortlessly creating a news bot that's always up to date with the latest content from your favorite news site or blog!\n\n![periodic-sync.gif](https:\u002F\u002Fres.cloudinary.com\u002Fdjyjvrw5u\u002Fimage\u002Fupload\u002Fv1688142583\u002Fperiodic_sync_564a74c6eb.gif)\n\n## ⚡ Even More Storage Tokens! ⚡\n\nGuess what? Open AI made creating embeddings even cheaper, and we're passing on the savings to you! We've increased the number of storage tokens across all plans once again. Now you can sync even bigger data sources more frequently. Soon enough, storage tokens will no longer be a limiting factor when you're creating your bots. This update pairs perfectly with auto syncing too!\n\n## 🤖 Telegram Bots! 🤖\n\nWe've got exciting news for all Telegram enthusiasts! You can now converse with your Chat Thing bots directly on Telegram. Just enable the Telegram channel, talk to the Telegram Bot Father to create your bot, and voila! You'll be up and running in less than 2 minutes! Big shoutout to Telegram for making this integration a breeze!\n\n## 🛡️ Response Guards - Fighting Hallucinations! 🛡️\n\nOne of the top reasons people decide that Chat Thing isn’t for them are hallucinations! When the bot makes things up that isn’t in your data. Previously the only way to protect against this was to write a very aggressive prompt attempting to persuade your bot to use only your content. The are stubborn little buggers though and it very rarely worked! Thats why we’ve introduced “Response guards” that provide you with another weapon to tackle annoying hallucinations, and other things too!\n\nResponse guards work by giving you an extra prompt that you can use to inspect, modify and validate the response before its sent back to the user!\n\nAs well as forcing your bot to answer “I don’t not know” if its asked something outside of its remit, you can also use response guards to tell your bot to redact personal information, never mention certain subjects, or whatever else you can come up with a prompt for! Its pretty powerful and we are excited to see how people use it.\n\n![response guards.gif](https:\u002F\u002Fres.cloudinary.com\u002Fdjyjvrw5u\u002Fimage\u002Fupload\u002Fv1688142349\u002Fresponse_guards_0d84b1b95b.gif)\n\n## 🔄 Sync Progress - See it Unfold! 🔄\n\nSyncing large data sources can take time, and we get it. That's why we've introduced the Sync Progress feature. No more relying on a sad loading spinner! Now you can enjoy a fully-fledged sync progress window where you can track the progress of each syncing stage. It's a fancy addition that makes your syncing experience so much smoother!\n\n![sync progress.gif](https:\u002F\u002Fres.cloudinary.com\u002Fdjyjvrw5u\u002Fimage\u002Fupload\u002Fv1688142340\u002Fsync_progress_b507664292.gif)\n\n## 🎛️ More Advanced Bot Controls 🎛️\nWith the release of GPT-3.5 Turbo 16k, it only made sense to include some brand-new advanced controls. These controls grant you fine-tuned control over how the context is used. You can now determine how many of your documents are sent to the bot, how much of the context window should be utilised, and so much more! Take charge and shape your bot's conversational abilities to perfection.\n\n![email1.webp](https:\u002F\u002Fres.cloudinary.com\u002Fdjyjvrw5u\u002Fimage\u002Fupload\u002Fv1688142578\u002Femail1_19024ffc5e.webp)\n\n## 📚 ePub Support - Bringing Your Favorite eBooks to Life! 📚\n\nLast but not least, we've added support for ePub files in our file data source! Now you can import content from your beloved eBooks and explore a whole new world of possibilities.\n\n## 🔮 What's Next? 🔮\n\nWe hope you agree that this was one epic update! But guess what? That's not all we've been working on. We have a lot more in the pipeline that will blow your mind!\n\nIn the near future, brace yourself for Google Drive as a data source. Looking further ahead, we're thrilled to announce that we're experimenting with integrating OpenAI function calling into Chat Thing. The possibilities are endless, and we can't wait to unveil what's coming next!\n\nIn the meantime, we're a friendly bunch who loves to chat with our Chat Thing community.

We're excited to announce **Custom Domains** — a feature that lets you serve your Chat Thing bots from your very own domain.\n\nInstead of embedding your bot from `embed.chatthing.ai`, you can now use something like `chat.yourcompany.com` or `support.yourbrand.io`. It's fully white-labelled, SSL-secured, and takes just a few minutes to set up.\n\n## Why Custom Domains?\n\nWhen you embed a Chat Thing bot on your website, your users see our domain in the embed URL. For most use cases that's fine, but if you're building a product, running an agency, or just want that extra polish — having your own domain makes all the difference.\n\n**Benefits include:**\n\n- **Brand consistency** — Your bot lives on your domain, matching the rest of your site\n- **Trust signals** — Users see your domain, not a third party\n- **Professional appearance** — Perfect for client-facing bots and enterprise deployments\n- **Full SSL coverage** — We handle certificates automatically via Cloudflare\n\n## How It Works\n\nSetting up a custom domain is straightforward:\n\n1. **Add your domain** — Head to your bot's Web channel settings and enter your desired domain (e.g., `chat.yourcompany.com`)\n2. **Configure DNS** — We'll generate three DNS records for you to add:\n   - A TXT record for SSL certificate validation\n   - A TXT record to verify domain ownership\n   - A CNAME record pointing to `embed.chatthing.ai`\n3. **Verify and go live** — Click verify, wait for DNS propagation, and you're done!\n\n![Custom domains section](https:\u002F\u002Fres.cloudinary.com\u002Fdjyjvrw5u\u002Fimage\u002Fupload\u002Fv1770654691\u002Fdocs\u002Fmzhljvoxddzbh2rqbbqd.png)\n\nOnce active, your embed codes automatically update to use your custom domain. No code changes needed.\n\n![Custom domain active with embed code](https:\u002F\u002Fres.cloudinary.com\u002Fdjyjvrw5u\u002Fimage\u002Fupload\u002Fv1770654295\u002Fdocs\u002Flribfkrjyalvghfyo4ed.png)\n\n## Domain Status Flow\n\nYour domain will progress through these statuses:\n\n- **Pending** — Domain added, awaiting setup\n- **DNS Pending** — Records detected, SSL certificate being issued\n- **Active** — Fully configured and ready to use ✅\n- **Failed** — Check your DNS records and try again\n\n## Availability\n\nCustom Domains is available as a paid addon. Each addon provides one custom domain slot across your team. You can purchase additional slots from your [billing page](https:\u002F\u002Fchatthing.ai\u002Fapp\u002Fbilling) if you need multiple domains.\n\n## Get Started\n\nReady to give your bots a professional home?

Your users can now interact with your bots using just their voice for a more natural and accessible experience.\n\nAnd this is just the beginning—soon, you’ll be able to customise the voice to perfectly match your brand.\n\nLearn how to enable it in the [Web Channel Documentation](https:\u002F\u002Fchatthing.ai\u002Fdocs\u002Fweb-channel#dictation-and-spoken-responses).\n\n![Xnapper-2025-07-30-20.00.42.png](https:\u002F\u002Fres.cloudinary.com\u002Fdjyjvrw5u\u002Fimage\u002Fupload\u002Fv1753902103\u002FXnapper_2025_07_30_20_00_42_d3a9b00e2d.png)\n\n### 🛡️ Spam Protection\n\nProtect your public-facing bots from abuse with our new Spam Protection feature. Powered by Cloudflare Turnstile, it provides a seamless, privacy-preserving way to block automated spam without forcing your users to solve annoying CAPTCHAs. You can activate it from your web channel settings.\n\nCheck out the [Spam Protection Documentation](https:\u002F\u002Fchatthing.ai\u002Fdocs\u002Fweb-channel#spam-protection) to get started.\n\n![Cloudflare turnstile spam protection](https:\u002F\u002Fres.cloudinary.com\u002Fdjyjvrw5u\u002Fimage\u002Fupload\u002Fv1753965261\u002FCloudflare_turnstile_spam_protection_f03ff305b8.png)\n\n### 💬 \"Talk to a human\" Power-up Update\n\nWe've made our \"Talk to a human\" power-up more flexible. You can now specify exactly which email address you want escalations to be forwarded to, directly within the power-up settings.\n\nFind out more in the[ Talk to a human Docs](https:\u002F\u002Fchatthing.ai\u002Fdocs\u002Ftalk-to-a-human).\n\n### ✨ Duplicate your Bots\n\nSpeed up your workflow with bot duplication! You can now create a copy of any existing bot, with full control to choose what you want to include—from data sources and prompts to channel settings and power-ups.\n\nLearn how in the [Duplicating Bots Documentation](https:\u002F\u002Fchatthing.ai\u002Fdocs\u002Fduplicating-bots).\n\n### Advanced: New Dynamic Prompt Tags\n\nFor our advanced users, you can now include two new replacement tags in your prompts that will be replaced dynamically at runtime: \u003Cbot-id> and \u003Cconversation-id>. This allows for more advanced logging, tracking, and multi-agent workflows.\n\n---\n\nWe can’t wait to see what you think of these updates, happy agent building","Announcing new Chat Thing features:
