Today, we are excited to announce that Saga is out of beta! 🎊
We launched the initial version of Saga with the promise of creating a fast and delightful workspace that helps you connect your knowledge.
More than 40,000 of you have joined the beta. Since then, we have made Saga collaborative, released tasks, integrations, Saga AI, and more. Now, hundreds of teams rely on Saga every week as their main tool for collaboration.
So, a big thank you to everyone who helped us reach this stage! 🙌

You can now mention pages and tasks directly in Saga AI. The AI assistant will respond to your questions based on the documents you mention.
Here are a few use cases:
Extract insights on a certain topic from a page
Rewrite according to brand guidelines or any reference doc
Transform to fit another doc's structure (e.g. article, email)
See more details and examples below!
Mention pages and tasks in Saga AI
To mention a page, simply type @ inside Saga AI or click the @ button in the AI menu. Then select a page from the dropdown. Saga AI will read the content of your mentioned pages and respond accordingly. This also works for tasks and will soon work for collections.
What you can do with mentions in Saga AI
Here are some examples of prompts you can use while mentioning one or multiple pages in Saga AI:
Summarize a page
Answer a question based on a page
Ask about multiple pages (e.g., "What did we discuss in our last 3 meetings?")
Rewrite content based on brand or style guidelines
Extract data from a page (e.g., "Extract all tasks from my weekly note")
Transform a page into another format (e.g., table, blog post, social post, email)
Compare pages to understand differences
Translate a page
Bonus: Saga AI also understands which page you're on, so you don't even need to mention it in your prompt. Simply ask any questions or commands, and the AI will crawl the content to answer.
We've completely rebuilt the Saga editor over the past three months, improving speed and performance for a smoother writing experience. Whether you're writing down daily notes, collaborating with your team, or using AI for your work, you'll notice the difference.
We've released over 80 fixes, improving lists, copy and paste, tables, callouts, nested blocks, and Saga AI responses. Our focus remains on delivering smooth and fast editing and releasing even better workflows to integrate AI into your workspace.
Faster writing
Saga already feels fast, but now we've made editing even in very long pages, tasks, and large workspaces much faster.
Loading time
We've reduced the initial loading time by up to 90%, especially for large workspaces. Saga AI responses are also generated up to twice as fast, enhancing your productivity.
Improved lists
We've revamped the behavior of lists, making creating new list items, nesting, merging, and copy-pasting more intuitive and similar to other writing apps.
Improved copy and paste
Copying and pasting from and to other tools such as Google Docs, Microsoft Office, or Gmail should feel much smoother. We've improved the handling of different blocks, including lists, tables, callouts, and images.
Drag and drop
Experience more efficient drag and drop capabilities within and between pages/tasks, especially in long documents.
Improved callouts
Callouts now feature better styling, improved nesting, and copy-pasting. As a reminder, they can contain any type of content, including lists, headings, images, and tables, with customizable styles and emojis.
Your feedback is important
We value your feedback and would love to hear your thoughts. Please take a moment to share what you love and what you feel is still missing in Saga.
In this update, we are sharing some of the improvements shipped over the last months: sharing pages with guests, new permissions, moving pages between workspaces, and improved mentioning of people.
Sharing with guests
You can now share any page with external guests, in addition to workspace members. Click Share and enter the email of the guest. Free workspaces can have up to 10 guests per workspace, while workspaces on the Standard plan can accommodate up to 100 guests.
Guests can either view or edit the content depending on their permissions. We've also added a new sidebar section Shared with Me where you can see all pages shared with you from other workspaces.
New permissions
We've added a new default workspace permission called Member, which can do everything inside the workspace except deleting it or changing its settings. Admins can manage permissions in Settings.
This is useful for teams that want more control over their workspaces. Read more about workspace permissions and page permissions in our guide.
Move pages between workspaces
You can now move pages easily between workspace by clicking on the page menu ⋯ and pressing Move to.
Improved mentions
We've heard that mentions can get messy when collaborating with many people on the same page. We've enriched them, so you can now see who mentioned you and on which date, when hovering.
We are excited to announce the release of two new features: private pages and page-level sharing permissions. These features will give you precise control over who can edit and view your pages.
Saga is designed for seamless collaboration. By default, your workspace content is shared with all members. However, sometimes certain content needs to be private or only shared with select team members. These new features provide the flexibility to manage your content as needed.
Private Pages
You can set your pages to private by clicking on the Share button in the top right corner and selecting Private access from the dropdown. Only you will be able to open and view the content of your private pages.
Page Sharing Permissions
We are releasing sharing permissions for your pages. You can customize the permissions for each workspace user and select between Admin, Editor, Viewer, and No Access.
From the very beginning of Saga, our focus has been on the speed and simplicity of the app while connecting all the different parts of your knowledge.
We've completely revamped Saga as part of an 8-month-long project to enhance collaboration and sharing. This is an exciting milestone in our goal to build the knowledge workspace of the future, powered by AI.
