  Click the **bolded** titles for a breakdown of what's new, or go to the [notes tab](./notes/26.08) for full details.

  * **[New PolyScore](./notes/26.08#new-polyscore)**: Released 5 August. PolyScore moved from a 0–10 scale to a **1–5 scale**, backed by a rubric that natively scores voice, messaging, and email (inbound and outbound). Two dimensions — **Agent quality** and **Task success** — combine into the overall score, with explicit rules for handoffs, self-service paths, and design-driven declines. See [PolyScore](/analytics/polyscore).

  Click the **bolded** titles for a breakdown of what's new, or go to the [notes tab](./notes/26.07) for full details.

  * **[PolyAI ADK](./notes/26.07#adk)**: A local, Git-like workflow for Agent Studio projects — pull, edit with standard tooling, validate, and push. Install with `pip install polyai-adk` and see the [ADK docs](/adk).
  * **[Builder MCP](./notes/26.07#builder-mcp)**: Point an MCP client — Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, or Codex — at PolyAI's authenticated MCP server to build, test, and deploy agents from your IDE. See the [MCP overview](/mcp/overview).
</Update>

<Update label="Coming 24 June 2026">
  **New Agent Studio layout.** On 24 June we're rolling out a cleaner Studio sidebar that consolidates 25+ pages into 15 grouped sections. No functionality changes — agents behave exactly as before.

  See **[Meet the new Agent Studio](/get-started/whats-new)** for the full migration guide, including a section-by-section "was → now" map and a list of features that have moved.

  Highlights:

  * **Wren** is the new homepage — our prompt-based tool for building agents in natural language.
  * **Analytics** consolidates KPIs, custom metrics, dashboards, Conversations, PolyScore, and CSAT. The standalone **Agent Analysis** page is sunset; per-call diagnosis lives under [Conversations > Diagnosis](/analytics/conversations/diagnosis).
  * **Behavior** merges Agent settings and general configuration into one section with **General**, **Language**, **Guardrails**, and **Models** subsections.
  * **Knowledge** renames Managed topics → **FAQs**, Connected knowledge → **Sources**, and pulls Variants in as a tab.
  * **Testing** replaces Test suite (which is being sunset). See [Testing](/testing/simulation-tests).
  * **Real-time config** combines the real-time config and the configuration builder.
  * **Voice** consolidates Settings, Numbers, Handoffs, Audio library, and speech/response-control tuning onto one page, with deeper options under **Advanced**.
  * **Messaging** follows the same pattern for chat and SMS.
  * **Integrations** becomes its own section (App, API, MCP).
  * **Widgets** moves out of Messaging into a standalone section for managing widgets across channels.

  The new navigation is **on by default** for all users from 24 June — a temporary **revert toggle** in your profile menu lets you switch back while you adjust.

  * **[Agent Builder builds chat agents](./notes/26.06#agent-builder-chat)**: Agent Builder now tailors plans and prompts to the project's channel — chat-specific guidance for chat agents, voice for voice agents.
