Smokeball Grow and Prosper+ Releases June 2026

View all new features and refinements to Smokeball Grow and Prosper+ for this month.

11th June 2026

Archie has been updated with the following refinements:

• We have restored the ability to select the LLM model you wish to use with Archie. It was temporarily unavailable as we worked on bringing Archie's agentic capabilities to other models.

  The following models are available:

  • OpenAI GPT-5.2 (default)
  • OpenAI GPT-5.2 (Thinking)
  • OpenAI GPT-5.3
  • OpenAI GPT-5.4
  • Claude Opus 4.6
  • Claude Opus 4.6 (Thinking)
  • Claude Opus 4.7
     
• Archie can now read more of the matter, including:
  • Matter stage
  • Matter layouts
  • Read-only billing data (e.g. activity codes, bank account details, expenses, fees, invoices). Note that Archie cannot create, modify, or delete billing records.
     
• The Prompt Library now lists your firm's own prompts before Smokeball-published prompts.
• Voice dictation now inserts text at your cursor position in the Archie prompt form, instead of always appending to the end.

4th June 2026

Smokeball Intake has been updated with the following new features:

• Whenever you make changes on an Intake Form, these changes won't be published live to form respondents until you select Publish. Publishing a form also creates a new version of the form in Version History, which you can revert to if needed. Learn more about how Version History and Publishing works for Intake Forms.
• You can now enable Voice Guide, an option for your form respondents to fill in the form using voice. When activated, a voice assistant will dictate questions to the respondent and record answers via speech-to-text. Learn more about turning on Voice Guide for your firm's Intake Forms.
