Enhanced Microsoft Outlook Integration
- Outlook Email Support: Create automated workflows that analyze and report on your email communications, including filtering messages, identifying key conversations, and generating summaries
- Outlook Calendar Integration: Build workflows that automatically track meeting schedules, analyze calendar patterns, and generate attendance reports
- Improved File Picker: Enhanced support for Box and OneDrive file uploads with better error handling and processing
🛠️ Major Improvements
Assist Performance Enhancements
- Two-Stage Prompting Architecture: Completely redesigned the Assist pipeline to eliminate latency bottlenecks. Search results now appear faster by running AI classification and workspace search simultaneously
- Streamlined Query Processing: Removed collection-only search flows from default Assist mode to improve response times and reduce processing overhead
- Optimized Search Routing: Disabled infrequently-used JQL/SOQL interpretation in default Assist behavior, focusing resources on most common use cases
Enhanced Search Intelligence
- Improved Context Understanding: DRW now retrieves surrounding message context for better thread relevance detection, reducing false positives in automated workflows
- Better Keyword Handling: Enhanced search logic to properly prioritize all keywords in queries, not just the most common terms
🐞 Bug Fixes
Authentication & Account Management
- Fixed Email Sign-up Flow: Resolved issue where users were logged out after completing email verification and profile setup
- Account Deletion Visibility: Corrected regression where personal accounts under tenant management incorrectly showed delete options
AI & Search Functionality
- Assist Query Reliability: Fixed issues with Built-in Collection (BIC) queries getting stuck or showing incomplete responses when switching between AI models
- Confidence Score Accuracy: Corrected display of confidence scores for GPT-powered queries
- Search Result Consistency: Improved keyword search accuracy, particularly for less common terms and specialized vocabulary
Collections & Workspace Management
- Real-time Folder Updates: Fixed collection folder visibility issues that required manual cache clearing to reflect changes across users
- Workspace Deletion: Resolved blocking issue preventing workspace deletion that was affecting new user onboarding
Meeting & Communication Features
- Meeting Summary Formatting: Standardized font sizes in automated meeting summary emails for consistent presentation
- Slack Integration Stability: Fixed multiple notification issues including duplicate thread summaries and excessive discover alerts
