What's New
What's new at devlin.ai
New features, improvements, and fixes as they ship.
June 2026
- Improved
A refreshed, easier to navigate builder
The dashboard got a redesign. A persistent sidebar puts every page one click away, simulations can show as a list or tile grid, and the editor pages are roomier and make better use of large screens.
- New
Folders for organizing simulations and coaches
Create folders right from the dashboard, then drag a card onto a folder to file it. You can also select several items with checkboxes and move, duplicate, or delete them together.
- New
Command palette for quick navigation
Press Cmd+K (Ctrl+K on Windows) anywhere in the app to search your simulations and coaches by name or jump straight to any page.
- New
Simulation version history
The editor now keeps a history of every save and publish. Open Version history to restore an earlier version, and restoring is itself recorded so you can always step back again.
- New
Export metrics to CSV
The Metrics tab now has an Export CSV button so you can analyze learner results in Excel, Google Sheets, or your BI tool.
- New
Voice mode preview in the Visual Editor
See how voice simulations will look while you style them. The Visual Editor shows a voice preview alongside the text preview, with toggles for in call, AI speaking, and end of simulation states.
- New
Light and dark theme presets in the Visual Editor
Apply a polished light or dark starting theme with one click, then fine-tune individual colors from there.
- Fixed
Coaches now start fresh when a course is restarted
Real-time coaching now responds to your current conversation instead of referencing an earlier attempt after a course is refreshed. Coaches still remember the conversation when learners move between slides.
- Improved
Accessibility upgrade across the learner experience
The voice, text, and coach simulation widgets are now built to WCAG 2.0 AA. Learners using screen readers, keyboard navigation, or reduced motion get a first-class experience.
- New
Contrast checks in the appearance editor
When you customize a simulation's colors, the appearance editor now checks them against WCAG AA contrast standards and flags combinations that fall short. Most can be fixed with a single click.
- Fixed
Voice previews play again in the simulation editor
Clicking a voice in the picker now plays its sample again. The preview audio had stopped loading after a change on our voice provider's side.
- Fixed
Voice simulations now sit flush inside Storyline and Rise courses
When embedded in a course, a voice simulation now fills its frame cleanly instead of showing a floating card with misaligned borders. The standalone voice link still opens as a centered card.
- New
Introducing coaches, AI mentors that debrief your learners
Build an AI coach that reviews how a learner did across your linked simulations and walks them through what to improve. Coaches give real time guidance during voice simulations and a personalized debrief afterward, and you can embed or export them to your LMS like any simulation.
- New
Export voice simulations to your LMS
You can now download a SCORM or xAPI package that launches a voice simulation, not just text chat. Upload it to your LMS the same way, and pass/fail and score report back.
May 2026
- Fixed
Voice simulations can now be retried
Voice simulations now show a Try Again button when they end, just like text simulations, so learners can start a fresh attempt. Turn it on with the Try Again setting in the sim editor.
- Fixed
Storyline variables in voice simulations no longer flicker mid-conversation
In voice simulations, the variables sent to Storyline could change several times while the learner was still speaking, briefly flickering or showing the wrong value. Each variable now updates once when the character responds.
- Fixed
Transcripts and scores now reflect the real conversation
Pauses, retries, or reconnects could record the same message more than once or split a sentence into pieces. That cluttered the transcript and sometimes lowered a learner's score. Each turn is now saved once, and voice evaluations use the finalized conversation, so scores and transcripts match what was actually said.
- New
Multilingual simulations
Simulations now support 16 languages including Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Arabic, and more. Set the language in the sim editor, and all UI elements, conversation, and evaluation feedback render in that language. Text-mode embeds also accept a ?lang= query parameter for language overrides.
- Fixed
The AI wizard occasionally failed to generate a simulation
This could happen when designers didn't give the AI enough information to work with. It now handles those cases reliably instead of erroring out.
- New
Voice mode is now available to all users
Voice mode is now live for every account. Turn it on for any simulation with the toggle at the top of the Simulation tab.
- New
Change your account email
You can now update the email address on your account from account settings.
- Fixed
Evaluations no longer penalize learners for not replying to the final message
Previously the AI could lower a learner's score for not responding to its closing message, even though the simulation had already ended. Learners are now scored only on exchanges where they had a real chance to respond.
- Improved
Voice mode now costs 20% less
Reduced from 150 to 120 credits per minute.
- Fixed
Scores now display as percentages
Now shown as a percentage (e.g. 72%) in the Metrics tab, the learner's end-of-session feedback, and the Storyline Sim_Score variable, instead of raw points.
- Fixed
The Credits page no longer double-counts voice sessions
Usage history now matches the credits actually deducted from your balance.
- Fixed
Voice credits are refunded if a session ends unexpectedly
If a session ends without closing properly, such as a crash or lost connection, reserved credits are returned automatically.
- Improved
Longer conversations cost less
Credit usage now benefits from prompt caching, so longer simulations cost less per turn.
- Improved
All data processing is now US-only
Removed Google Analytics, the embedded YouTube video, and the Google Fonts link, so every request from designers and learners stays on US-based infrastructure.
- Improved
Voice privacy: shorter retention, no audio storage
Voice transcripts are kept for only 30 days, and session audio is never stored.
April 2026
- New
Voice mode now works inside Storyline embeds
Learners can hold a spoken conversation right inside a Storyline course, not only in the standalone chat.
- Fixed
Voice mode reliability fixes
Voice sessions now correctly let the learner speak first when set up that way, and if a learner interrupts the AI, that part of the conversation is no longer lost from the transcript.
- Fixed
The editor shows a saving spinner instead of a confusing save/discard prompt
While your changes are saving, the editor now shows a spinner instead of briefly asking whether to save or discard.
- Fixed
Fixed a layout glitch in the editor preview when the branded outline is off
When a designer turned off the branded outline, the simulation preview in the editor showed the chat bubbles and input side by side instead of stacked. They now stack correctly.
- New
Team workspaces
Create an organization, invite teammates by email, and share a workspace with pooled credits. Owners and admins can manage members, roles, and invitations.
- New
Voice mode (early beta)
Run your simulations as a spoken conversation instead of typing.
- New
Simulations can report SCORM data to LMS from within Storyline
When a simulation is embedded in a Storyline course, it can now send the learner's score, pass/fail, and completion straight to your LMS through Storyline's existing SCORM connection.
- New
Core plan launched
The Core plan is now available, unlocking the full simulation builder.
- New
Branded simulation outline
Simulations now include a default gradient outline in devlin.ai's brand colors, framing the conversation. You can turn it off per simulation.
- New
devlin.ai public beta launched 🎉
devlin.ai opened to the public, so anyone can sign up and start building simulations.
