Spark Updates

V5.0

Sep. 22, 2026

Try these now

• Ask for a deck. "Make a market update deck for Hamilton County." Then "download all these" and you get a PowerPoint, one chart per slide with editable headings.
• Download everything. Any conversation's charts as a PowerPoint, a zip of images, or a PDF report. Ask, or use the Deck and Images buttons on the pinboard.
• Pin a table. Every table now has CSV, Image and Pin. A pinned table is a real table in your deck and your report.
• Plan first. For a big ask, switch on Plan first under the box and Spark writes the outline before it starts. It turns itself on for decks.
• Edit the preview. Build Report or Slides opens a preview: click any text to change it, add a page from a template, and tap an empty slot to ask Spark for what should go there.
• Rename a chart once. Change a chart's title on the pinboard or in the preview and it changes in the deck and the report too.
• Change your deck by asking. "Drop slide 4." "Rename the second chart." "Move the county slide up." Spark edits the deck or report and you download it again.

Also new

• Every chart is drawn from the Hub's stored data, with a headline title and the values on the picture, sharp enough for a projector.
• Spark knows each association's counties, has the full history of every metric, and does rankings, indexes and averages in code.
• The pinboard is in groups: charts and tables as tiles, then content, then stats.

Fixed

• Slide edits were lost on reload, and pinning anything threw away your edits. Both kept now.
• Bold, italic and underline in the report editor save.
• A question about a past week no longer comes back empty.
• Insight cards open from the answer, not only from the pinboard.

V4.2

Aug. 14, 2026

• Recipes can cover several counties at once: ask for a group of counties with month-over-month and year-over-year changes and get one clean table
• Spark picks the right format for the question: tables for multi-county comparisons, charts for trends over time
• Percentage changes are computed from the actual prior month and prior year in the data
• Big multi-county questions no longer fail with "I couldn't fit that answer"

V4.1

• Schedule cards show when each run last happened and whether it succeeded
• Launch links: share a recipe that runs with one click

V4.0

Jul. 24, 2026

• Saved recipes: keep a request that worked and re-run it for any market
• Recipe editor: adjust the ingredients, or just say what to change
• One-sheet: a branded one-page PDF handout, made in chat
• Recipes can deliver more than one format and focus on a market segment like a price range

• Follow-up questions reuse data already fetched, so they answer faster
