Make better availability rules

When you're creating availability rules for Actions, Processes, pieces of Guidance, articles, or handoffs, you now have more options for your conditions:

  • Before, if you added an Or operator in your rules, you could only specify a different value for the same variable (e.g., browser = chrome or firefox). Now, you can specify different values for different variables with Or variables (e.g., browser = chrome or channel = Ada Web Chat).
  • You can now create groups of conditions that all have the same operator within the same group. This way, you can create conditions like channel = Ada Web Chat and (browser = chrome or firefox or safari).

For an example on how to use availability rules, see our instructions on how to Create an Action.

Create reliable content in Processes with blocks

Earlier this month, we released a version of Processes that used natural language instead of blocks to build response flows for your customers. After assessing the performance of those natural language Processes, we've decided that the best way to automate your customers' resolutions is by making your AI Agent's performance as reliable as possible - so we're bringing back the block-based building experience.

Processes is now better and more flexible than ever, with more blocks available for you to use, and the ability to reference variables. For more information, see Create workflows with Processes.

Important

If you have any Processes you've built with our natural language builder, you'll have to convert them to use blocks before October 31, 2024. Our team can help you! Don't hesitate to reach out for assistance.

Improved AI Agent persona settings

We've introduced some new settings to customize your AI Agent's persona, so you don't have to control its behavior in your Guidance. This includes settings that control:

  • How long you want messages to be
  • How many steps you want your AI Agent to put in a message
  • Whether your AI Agent mentions your company's competitors

To learn about all of your AI Agent's persona settings, see Customize your AI Agent's personality in automatically generated content.

Use natural language to create complex Processes

We're excited to release the newest version of Processes, which allow you to train your AI Agent to solve problems that require multiple steps and logic.

Now, instead of using blocks, you can write out multi-step instructions for your AI Agent to execute, complete with conditional logic and referencing Actions you've already configured. This way, you can use the same language you would use training a human agent to dictate what your AI Agent does.

Get more accurate analytics data

As part of continually improving the accuracy of our automated resolution classification model, we have made two exciting updates for generative clients:

  • Your AI Agent now evaluates all of its conversations for automated resolutions, instead of just a sample.

  • We've improved the way your AI Agent evaluates whether it provided relevant information grounded in your knowledge content, meaning its classifications are more accurate.

Going forward, all of the the data on automatic resolutions in your reports, and your conversation topics, will include all conversations.

For more information, see Understand and improve your AI Agent's automated resolution rate.

Create custom redactions

We've made it easier to protect your customers' sensitive information. Now, you can use regular expressions to create matching patterns your AI Agent or bot can use to find sensitive information like credit cards and redact it. Redacted information stays within the conversation, is never visible in transcripts or audible in recordings, and never gets sent to an external LLM, APIs, or handoffs to human agents.

Customize your emails' appearance

We've added customization options for emails, so they can better match your company's branding:

  • Modify the sender's name
  • Add a custom header image (e.g., a logo or a banner)
  • Add text and links in the footer

For more information, see Customize emails.

Watch transcripts update with new messages as they happen

When you go into the Conversations view, you can now see new messages appear just a few seconds after they happen, without having to refresh the page. If you’re in a conversation that’s currently happening, you can click the New messages notification to scroll down to the newest messages.
