New Features ๐Ÿš€โ€‹

Agent To-Dos [Preview]โ€‹

Agents can now break a request down into a task list and work through it step by step, reporting progress as each item is completed. This makes long, multi-step executions easier to follow.

User Choices [Preview]โ€‹

Agents can now pause and ask the user to pick from a set of options before continuing. The choices are presented as selectable buttons in the conversation, enabling richer interactions and ease of use. Available in the Chat Widget and the Serenity* AI Chat. See Human-in-the-loop for integration guides.

This feature is currently in preview.

Agent Onboardingโ€‹

The onboarding flow now recommends the agents that best fit your organisation's profile, so a new tenant can start from a relevant set of agents rather than from an empty workspace. Pick the ones you want and they are created in your tenant, ready to use.

Agents that come with supporting functionality, such as workflows or supporting agents, can now be configured through a step-by-step flow when you get them from the Store. Making it faster to set up and ensures no required configuration is left out.

The Agents made for you onboarding step, suggesting agents such as Coding Expert and Customer Support Assistant based on your company

Inference Endpoints for All Modelsโ€‹

OpenAI-compatible inference endpoints are now available for every model in the catalogue, so any model can be called directly from your own code with the same interface.

OpenAI Privacy Filterโ€‹

The OpenAI Privacy Filter is now fully available as an AI Service. Instead of hosting your own implementation, you can call our hosted Privacy Filter directly to detect and redact personal data such as names, addresses, emails and phone numbers, either one text at a time or in batches.

When a connector is not enabled for your company, users can now request its activation from within the platform. Administrators review and approve the request, which complements the connector policies defined in the Compliance Center.

The Available connectors list showing Notion MCP marked Access requested, with the name of the user who requested it

Comments on Message Feedbackโ€‹

Feedback on an agent message can now include a comment explaining the rating, instead of only a positive or negative signal. Available in the Chat Widget, the Serenity* AI Chat and the feedback endpoint.

An agent message rated negatively, with an optional What went wrong? comment box below it

Reasoning Effort and Output Format in Proxy Agentsโ€‹

Proxy agents now accept the reasoning effort and the response format parameters, keeping compatibility with the OpenAI request schema and giving you control over structured outputs and how much the model reasons.

Cost Savings in Billingโ€‹

The billing screens now report the savings obtained through your plan, the credits billed to your Serenity* account and the estimated usage when the Bring Your Own Key feature is in use.

The Cost Analysis panel showing, for each period, the cost before the plan discount struck through, the final cost and the amount saved with your plan

Time to First Contentโ€‹

Executions now report the time to first content, which measures how long a user waits before seeing the first part of a response. This complements total execution time when diagnosing perceived latency.

The executions grid with the new Time to first content column highlighted beside Time to first token

Active and Inactive Agent Versionsโ€‹

Agent versions can now be activated and deactivated, so a version can be taken out of service and avoid unwanted use of stale versions.

A confirmation dialog warning that a deactivated version will no longer be executable through the API and that open conversations pinned to it will stop working

Downloadable Knowledge Filesโ€‹

Knowledge files can now be marked as available for download, which makes them accessible from citations so logged-in users or clients can open the cited file. Downloading files from citations is supported in the Chat Widget and the Serenity* AI Chat.

Files marked as available for download are also added automatically to the workbench session, so the agent can work with them directly.

Configure download availability through the knowledge metadata in the Agent Design Studio.

New Features ๐Ÿš€โ€‹

AI Servicesโ€‹

Serenity* Star keeps expanding the AI Services available through its API, so your AI solutions can rely on the platform for more than agents alone.

Anonymizerโ€‹

The new Anonymizer service detects and obfuscates sensitive data in any text. You decide which categories to detect (person, address, email, phone number, dates and more), the confidence threshold for each one and the replacement label used to build its placeholder. The service returns the obfuscated text together with every entity it detected, and it runs in a secure local environment, so you can redact personal data before sending it to an external LLM.

alt text

Inference Playgroundโ€‹

The Inference service now comes with a playground, so you can test it straight from the web app. Choose a protocol, pick an example such as streaming or vision, and get instant responses without writing a line of code.

New Features ๐Ÿš€โ€‹

Proxy Agents as OpenAI-Compatible Endpointsโ€‹

Serenity* Star Proxy Agents are now available through OpenAI-compatible Responses and Chat Completions endpoints. Use any model in Serenity* Star through a familiar interface, and plug your agents straight into Copilot Chat or any OpenAI-compatible client with no custom integration work.

Every request keeps full audit tracking inside Serenity* Star and runs through Content Safety, Skills and usage limits, so you get the reach of an open standard with the governance and control of the platform.

Serenity* Appsโ€‹

Serenity* Star now supports integrated Apps inside Serenity* AI Chat. Apps are a new way to work with agents: instead of a plain conversation, each agent gets a streamlined, purpose-built interface focused on the task at hand. By putting value and functionality first, Apps make it easier for your organisation to turn agents into everyday productivity tools.

Compliance Document Certification Appโ€‹

The first App in the catalog is the Compliance Document Certification App. Upload a document, contract, or any internal file and validate it against a defined set of rules.

Sensitive data obfuscation now offers finer-grained control. Enable obfuscation individually for agent behaviour or for input parameters, giving you more flexibility and ensuring consistent, predictable handling of sensitive data.

alt text

Context Improvementsโ€‹

The context engine has been revised to allocate unused space more intelligently. Smarter budget handling lets agents produce better responses without compromising the context they rely on.
