Xeref.ai v2.0: Design System, Command Palette, and Chat-Triggered Workflows

v2.0 is the biggest Xeref release yet — a full design system, global command palette, artifact management with version history, and workflows you can trigger from chat.

v2.0 is the release where Xeref stopped feeling like a product and started feeling like a platform.

The Design System

The /design route gives you full control over the visual system — colors, typography, component variants, spacing tokens. Every change updates across the entire UI instantly. This matters when you're building agent interfaces that need to feel coherent, not assembled.

Artifact management with version history means you can iterate on outputs without losing the thread of what you shipped.

Global Command Palette

Cmd/Ctrl+K opens a search palette that spans the entire app — agents, workflows, conversations, settings. Power users were navigating by memory; now they navigate by intent.

Chat-Triggered Workflows

This is the feature that changes how you think about automation in Xeref. You can now describe a workflow in plain language from the chat interface and trigger it directly. The agent handles the translation between intent and execution.

It's the same pattern we've been building toward since the first n8n workflow we wired up — but now it lives natively in the product.

What We Fixed

The database migration for v2.0 required three passes to resolve ordering conflicts. Not glamorous work, but it's the kind of thing that makes the next migration easier.

v2.1 is already live. More on that next.
