June 7, 2026
PlugininsertViewsFromFile now caches the source file after first open — pull multiple batches of views from the same reference file without the wait.
PluginOpen your firm's master detail file alongside your project and ask Banana Chat to copy any views across — full content, exact scales, all annotation elements transferred in one call.
PluginFixed a session auth bug that could cut off Banana Chat access after 60 minutes of continuous use — long sessions now stay connected without needing to Relock.
June 6, 2026
PluginBanana Chat now yields Revit between each step of a multi-tool task — you can open View/Graphics, Revisions, or any other dialog while a task is running without waiting for it to finish.
PluginA status bar in the Banana Chat panel now shows when Claude is thinking (amber) vs. writing to the model (red), so you always know what's happening mid-task.
PluginNew searchViewsByAnnotation command lets Banana Chat locate views by the text they contain, then copy matching views into any open project using insertViewsFromFile with exact view IDs.
June 5, 2026
WebBanana Chat now shows a credit balance instead of raw usage metrics. The popup panel can also be resized by dragging its left edge.

PluginBanana Chat now shows a command palette when you type / — a filterable list of your saved skills and built-in commands (like /remember and /train) appears above the text box. Navigate with arrow keys, press Enter or Tab to select, Escape to dismiss.
PluginBanana Chat can now save successful C# Roslyn scripts as reusable skills. After a script runs without errors, the AI asks if you want to save it. Say yes and give it a name — it's added to your skill toolbox and invocable via the / palette in any future session.
June 2, 2026
PluginFixed a routing bug where Banana Chat windows in Revit 2024 and 2025 were sending commands to the wrong Revit session when multiple versions were open simultaneously.
PluginImages can now be dragged directly into the Banana Chat window as visual context — drop a redline screenshot, a reference photo, or a markup export and describe what to change. PNG, JPEG, and WebP are accepted.
PluginNew visual verify toggle in Banana Chat — when enabled, a screenshot of the active Revit view is automatically captured after each placement and reviewed by the AI to confirm the result looks correct before continuing.
PluginDrawing library queries from Banana Chat fixed — a missing route was returning 404 when browsing the firm's sheet library without specifying a project name.
PluginBanana Chat's knowledge base now stays current automatically — improvements to Revit API guidance, annotation standards, and error recovery are delivered in the background each session without reinstalling the plugin.
