- Widget management for richer conversation experiences.
- Loop steps for repeated work in Flows.
- Vector storage options for larger or more controlled datasource search.
- Webchat, datasource, and Flow editor improvements.
New in Studio
Evaluation system
Evaluation suites help teams test Peers before and after changes. You can organize test questions, run evaluations, review scores, and compare performance over time.
Use it to:
- Test critical Peers before publishing changes.
- Track answer quality over time.
- Identify weak topics or missing datasource coverage.
- Reduce manual testing work.
See Evaluation System.
AI-powered analysis
AI Analysis reviews evaluation results and Peer configuration, then suggests changes that may improve performance.
Suggestions can cover prompts, datasource use, model behavior, and tool configuration. Review each suggestion before applying it.
See AI Analysis.
Approval controls
The release adds stronger human-in-the-loop workflows:
- Flow User Approval pauses a Flow until a person approves or rejects the next step.
- Agent Action Approval lets admins require approval before selected Peer actions run.
Use approvals before sensitive actions such as sending customer messages, updating business records, deleting data, or triggering external work.
See Flow User Approval and Agent Action Approval.
Widgets
Widgets let Peers and Flows present richer interactive content, such as forms, summaries, cards, and visual results.
Admins can manage widget availability and test how widgets appear before making them available to users.
See Widgets.
Loop steps
Loop steps help Flows repeat work across lists or continue while a condition is true.
Use them for:
- Processing multiple files or records.
- Repeating checks until a result is ready.
- Handling batches of similar work.
- Reducing duplicate Flow branches.
See Flow Steps Overview.
Vector storage
Admins can choose vector storage options that match their scale, data location, and operations requirements.
Most teams can start with the system default. Larger, private, or compliance-sensitive deployments may choose an external or self-managed provider.
See Vector Storage.
New in Pulse and Webchat
- Webchat feedback buttons help collect satisfaction signals.
- Approval requests work more smoothly in embedded chat experiences.
- Channel usage analytics help teams understand where conversations happen.
Admin and security updates
- Widget access controls help admins limit who can use each widget.
- Evaluation results and test data follow workspace permissions.
- Approval controls provide an extra review layer before sensitive actions.
- Vector storage choices give admins more control over datasource search operations.
Fixes and reliability improvements
- Improved evaluation import and history behavior.
- Better mobile responsiveness for configuration screens.
- More reliable widget preview behavior.
- Clearer Flow editor validation and side-panel behavior.
- Better handling of long-running loop workflows.
- Improved datasource playground testing.
Action required
No breaking user workflow changes are required.
Recommended actions:
- Create an evaluation suite for your most important Peers.
- Review approval settings for sensitive tools and Flow actions.
- Test widgets before enabling them for broad use.
- Review vector storage if your datasource volume is large or has strict data-location requirements.
- Share the relevant product guides with workspace admins.
