First and foremost this is a _fantastic_ release. Love gallery view and love the new AI approach! Multi-agent totally makes sense. I’m excited to see what you’ll do with a whiteboard agent!!

I can’t say whether this was the right call, probably it was. But I’m not _at all_ surprised that Fibery data was the by-far most popular source. **No one could have hay _any_ idea that Fibery could do reports from e.g. Google Sheets or other sources until they went to create a report, and why the heck would they _think_ of Fibery in the first place if they had a need for a report from some _other_ data source?** Nobody is in Google Sheets and thinks “Hmm, I want to make a nicer report. I wonder if the totally separate database and project management tool I use can do that.” But they might be excited to know that it does! I for one did use a Google Sheets-sourced report and if Fibery had better ( [Google Sheets Integration](https://community.fibery.io/t/google-sheets-integration/2028) ) ( [Integration to Google Sheets: Import table to Fibery](https://community.fibery.io/t/integration-to-google-sheets-import-table-to-fibery/9311) ) then I probably would have used it more.

I’ve suggested before the approach of “Fibery is your hub _and_ **data ‘multi-tool’** ” which could easily have included a campaign around how Fibery can extend _other_ tools. Before Notion had Charts it could have been a huge differentiator “Connect with Notion, visualize its data in fancy ways”, and Fibery’s charts are still better than Google Sheets once you have any complexity. **To get any adoption you would have had to do some promotion on it, _specifically_.** I still think making charts with other data sources was a great feature that was just underrecognized and underutilized. But it’s also fair that I mostly only visualize Fibery data. 😄

> Also out of curiosity, was it considered to use the two-panel navigation to open files instead of a lightbox? This would allow to maintain context, make edits to entity, write notes, as you have the file open. This might not be relevant when the new Files Unit in entity view is released for a to-one file. then the entity itself acts like the file, so to speak.

Love this idea! Maybe a preference or an alt/option-click kind of situation, or even a pop-up set of buttons with options similar to the Search where on-hover it gives you regular Search (current pane) and options for Left/Right pane Search.

Then you wouldn’t need all the “Generate with AI” buttons around the UI and instead have an “always available” AI assistant.

Also a _very_ cool idea and a potential real differentiator for Fibery AI! Not sure how hard it would be to implement but I love this conceptually.

I have 5000 thoughts on this and could suggest a marketing campaign around it too… (e.g. “Notion makes your PKM pretty, Fibery makes your PKM _useful_”). But I’m also a weirdo, clearly the market likes Notion (I use it for my other business but constantly encounter friction).

This does actually already exist, though it’s not as (theoretically) powerful or flexible as Notion.
