Point it at what you've already written — policies, wikis, transcripts, whatever you've got — and it generates the structured context your agents work from, built directly into PromptOwl.\n\n## Context Gets a Guided Setup\n\nMagic Context Builder walks you through setting up your knowledge base the same way Magic Agent Builder walks you through building an agent — answer a few questions, and it handles the setup.\n\n## Publish a Document, on Your Terms\n\nTurn any document into its own public page. Choose who can see it — open to anyone, gated by a shared code, an email link, or an invite list — and revoke access or check who's viewed it, anytime.\n\n## Everything Loads Faster\n\nPerformance improvements across Community Nest speed up your requests, sharpen accuracy, and manage your context window better — so an agent works with what matters, not everything it could technically reach.\n\n## See Your Nest as a Board\n\nA Kanban-style board view for your nest — organize documents into columns you define and reorder, with the full width of the page to work with instead of a cramped sidebar list.\n\n## The Small Wins That Add Up\n\n- **More models to choose from** — the latest Claude, GPT, Gemini, and Grok models are available when you set up an agent.\n- **Community Nest loads automatically** as an embedded sidebar — no separate step to open it.\n- **Connecting an agent to a Community Nest is a single step.**\n- **Multiple API keys per account.**\n- **Shared content goes through a review and approve workflow** , with a reason attached if it's turned down.\n- **Request a document or nest deletion** and get a clear approve-or-reject answer, instead of it just vanishing — or not.\n- **Search lives in the header now** , plus a dashboard-wide search across every nest you have, with a preview of the matching text.\n- **See your own drafts in one place** instead of losing track of them.\n- **Owl Desktop: chat supports image attachments** — attach, drag-and-drop, or paste.\n\nThat's August: Distill built in, a guided path for your context, documents you can publish on your terms, a board to organize it all, and a Nest that moves noticeably faster.\n\nPublished September 5, 2026 · PromptOwl Product Team", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/what-shipped-in-august-new-distill-technology-context-gets-a-guided-setup", "canonical_source": "https://promptowl.ai/resources/product-update-august-2026", "published_at": "2026-09-05 00:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-09-14 06:32:00.801030+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "ai-tools", "large-language-models", "ai-agents"], "entities": ["PromptOwl", "Distill", "Magic Context Builder", "Community Nest", "Owl Desktop", "Claude", "GPT", "Gemini"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/what-shipped-in-august-new-distill-technology-context-gets-a-guided-setup", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/what-shipped-in-august-new-distill-technology-context-gets-a-guided-setup.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/what-shipped-in-august-new-distill-technology-context-gets-a-guided-setup.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/what-shipped-in-august-new-distill-technology-context-gets-a-guided-setup.jsonld"}}
