Smarter and sharper. Jonny Steventon shows every change in the Engage Autumn ’26 Release, the day before it reached your platform, and Annie Dowd puts your questions to him: what your people will notice, what you set up, and what to tell them first.

What your people will notice

Reactions

Like, Love, Celebrate, Funny and Support, on posts, comments, recognition cards and content pages. On for everyone, no setup.

A fresh look for web

‍One design language across the feed, Recognition, Community Groups, Connect, Events and the AI chat. Nothing moves, so there is nothing to relearn.

AI Assist

Describe a post, or hand over a draft, and get a draft ready to edit in seconds, in your organisation’s own terms. For organisations with Your AI switched on.

A new app bar

‍Home, Feed, Messages, Connect and More, in your organisation’s colour. Arrives with the app update.

AI that knows your organisation

For organisations with Your AI switched on, Jonny shows how it learns the words your people use. Company Context sets your terminology and tone once. Your assistant gets your own name and icon. Search puts a short written answer above the results, and contact search finds the right person, not just a page.

For admins

Reactions and the new web look need no setup. AI Assist goes to the user groups you pick, so you can trial it with one team first. In the app, the profile and the burger menu move under More: worth a heads-up to your people before the update lands.
