Releases
Custom CSS classes were introduced to fix bugs that previously affected global styling.
Upgraded to 11.12.3.
Messages that are sent along tool calls from the assistant are now returned to the model as part of the request. The previous architecture sometimes caused the model to repeat the same content in the final response.
Also, an example microflow for a Studio Pro agent + Conversational UI was added.
*Agent Chats now support streaming, allowing model responses to appear in the UI in real time, word by word. To enable this feature, two conditions must be met: The selected text generation model must support streaming and Streaming (Frontend) must be enabled in the agent version's model settings by the AgentAdmin role.
*A new button has been added to the chat interface, allowing users to quickly scroll to the bottom of the chat and follow along with newly generated content as it streams in.
*Upgrade to 11.12.1.
*A MAIA Skill.md file was added in order to tailor MAIA support for this module.
*The max-width of full screen chats has been set to 900px for styling consistency.
The module was upgraded to 11.12 and supports Atlas 4 if enabled for an application.
In addition, Trace details (including spans) can now be exported as JSON from the Trace Details page. In this format it can be used as input for AI assistance.
Styling for GenAI components was consolidated and improved.
A previous split of styling classes between AgentCommons and ConversationalUI modules, had caused inconsistent rendering and maintenance challenges. Styling has now been consolidated into ConversationalUI instead.
In addition (mainly for the Agent Builder), issues with the Combobox were resolved and styling generally improved (e.g. for tooltips or hover).
End users can now see information about tool and knowledge base call executions in the chat in a new look.
To prevent possible issues where messages would be passed to the model in the wrong order, extra logic was added so that an empty user message is added to a request (if none was there before).
We fixed a padding and a small bug where error states of tool calls were stored incorrectly.
A bug was fixed, where suggested user prompts were not inserted into the chat on click.
