The New Smartcat

Smartcat is getting a major update, and it's all designed to help you work faster, smarter, and more intuitively. In this walkthrough, we'll explore the redesigned homepage, learn about interacting with the chat-based interface, and discover where core features now live. By the end, you'll know exactly how to access key tools, manage projects, and use agents efficiently. Let's dive in and take a tour of what's new!

Smartcat’s homepage now features a streamlined layout for effortless navigation. At the center of the screen sits the prominent chat-based interface

This is your main control hub, where conversations with Smartcat happen and you can trigger actions directly. The chat area covers the central section of the homepage. Use it to talk directly to Smartcat and take actions like handling translation files, working with code, creating projects, or even updating glossaries. This hub brings conversational workflows front and center so you spend less time searching and more time doing.

Scrolling just below the chat, you'll see the newly added Agent library. This section gives you a quick overview of available agents and integrated tools.

The Agent library is where you manage essential productivity boosters. Browse through built-in agents for key tasks, and maintain your own custom-built agents right here. If you’ve added integrations, this is also where to check on them and update connections. The library keeps everything accessible for you to streamline your workflow.

We’ve added a great set of agents to get you started, but the real power and magic of agents is when you build your own. We’ve designed an intuitive but powerful workflow to help you and your teams craft agents to fit your processes and needs. Check out the agent builder to try it for yourself.

A fresh sidebar design now anchors Smartcat’s interface. Use the sidebar for instant access to your core workspaces and assets. To revisit your main workspace, locate the sidebar and click on Work.

Description: From within Work, you'll find:

• Projects: All your translation and localization projects.

• Smartwords: Word and usage statistics.

• Tasks: Easily track your ongoing assignments.

• Linguistic assets: Glossaries, translation memories, and other resources.

• Integrations & Reports: Connect, monitor, and manage other tools; access data and insights.

• Settings: Adjust personal or team preferences.

The navigation sidebar persists throughout your Smartcat experience, providing consistency and quick access to everything you need.

These updates are all about efficiency and control, helping you produce high-quality, global content quickly. Dive in and explore, knowing Smartcat's powerful tools are always just a click or chat away.
