A softer landing for week one

A new tool is only useful if you can get past the first hour. April focused on the first week – making the start gentle, obvious, and a little bit delightful.

You are never staring at a blank page

We added a proper onboarding flow: a welcome walk-through, a setup guide, and a simple checklist that shows the next small step. Instead of wondering what to do, you follow a short path and watch your assistant take shape.

Better still, your first agent is created the moment you sign up. There is something to talk to from minute one, so you can feel how it works before you change a single setting.

Try before you commit

Everyone now starts with free starter credit and a clear, friendly countdown of how long you have to explore. You can test real conversations, see how the answers feel, and decide in your own time – no card pressure on day one.

Space to shape the voice

Shaping how your assistant speaks is one of the most important things you will do, so we gave it room. A new roomy editor opens up when you want to write, with space to think and read your words back. We also added sensible limits so very long messages stay tidy, and polished small rough edges across the dashboard.

The theme of the month was simple: less setup, more trying. The faster you reach a real conversation, the faster you know whether Chatref is right for you.
