Changelog

December 2, 2024

With AI actions, you could already collect information from users via text input (eg. email address). Now you can also offer them multiple options to choose from by clicking to select.
We thoroughly tested the browser assistant which resulted in a lot of stability improvements and bug fixes.
We’ve fixed bugs related to insights when switching environments, PDF ingests, uploading multiple FAQs, and generating candidate questions.

November 25, 2024

Updates to the team assistant:

You can now see the previous conversation history when re-opening a ticket. The AI will not generate a new response from scratch again.
We’ve also added the option to Reset a conversation if needed.
Notes are now available across sessions. To reflect this change, the Create note button has been renamed Notes.

November 18, 2024

The browser assistant can now summarize and answer multiple questions per ticket.
You can now filter conversations based on the segment.
We've implemented a better PDF parsing library. If you have indexed PDFs, you can retrain them with the improved system to see if the results are better.
We've adjusted the AI to make less arbitrary decisions. When multiple articles could answer a question, the AI now summarizes options and asks for clarification before proceeding, ensuring more relevant responses.

November 11, 2024

You can now review and accept or reject the candidate questions generated by Unless based on your historical tickets. When accepted, they will be added to your quality control questions. (Please contact us if you’d like your top 20 questions to be generated based on tickets.)
To accept a candidate question, you have to write a control answer first. We know this can be tricky sometimes so we’ve added a Generate answer button you can use to prompt the AI. You can use the generated answer directly or have it be a starting point and make edits as needed.
You can now filter conversations based on email address.
The Freshdesk integration now supports multiple portals.
The note feature in the browser asisstant works again.

November 4, 2024

New AI view: the side panel 🎉 Until now the AI could be set to open as a popover (a small rectangle, often on the corner of a screen) or as the larger conversation center overlay. There’s now a third option! You can select the side panel view which will slide to open and close the chat.
You can now add a search bar component which will open up the larger conversation center overlay where the end-user can interact with the AI to find the information they are looking for.
We improved language detection stability.

October 28, 2024

The AI now uses more of the conversation history for context when providing answers.
We no longer show single-word inputs in the AI zone insights (eg. hello, okay, bye).
There is now a setting to remove the Search tab.
The contact label will also be used for the title of the contact page.
You can now bulk upload multiple PDFs and markdown files. Each row in the file will be imported as a resource, all grouped under a single training source.
When uploading a CSV file, we now check the header columns for "title" and "description" to use for the title and content.
Content Security Policy (CSP) is a security feature that helps prevent a range of attacks such as cross-site scripting (XSS) and data injection by specifying which sources of content are considered safe. If you are using a CSP then you will need to add the Unless domains to the CSP for it to work. You can read more about this in the Unless Developer Hub.

October 21, 2024

Weekly account summaries are now live in Slack! 🎉
We improved the startup load time of the AI component and it now loads much faster after clicking the floating button for the first time.

Fixed a UI issue with the chat incentive buttons, improving consistency.
Fixed a bug regarding the email collection action.

API AI actions are here. 🎉
You can now import Markdown files.

September 16, 2024

By predicting the questions of users and guiding them to the answers they might need, we can increase engagement and satisfaction.
You can now generate “candidate questions” for the quality control report based on historical tickets.
Admins can now delete a conversation (ie. if it includes PII). A record of the conversation will be kept (so that Conversation URLs aren’t broken) but the chat data will be removed and replaced with a message that the conversation has been deleted.
Fixed bugs related to segment options not showing in some new conversations and the selection being lost when a chat is closed and re-opened.

September 9, 2024

Conversations list view filters are remembered. This means if you filtered the conversations, go to the details page of a conversation and go back to the list, you will still see the filtered view.
Similarly, if you’re viewing the details page of a conversation and click the Next conversation button, it will now take you to the next conversation from the filtered list.

New: Conversation status 🎉

Keeping track of conversations just got easier!

From now on each conversation will have a status, starting with New and switching to Read once you've opened up the details page for that conversation.

Most importantly, you can see which responses have been flagged since the conversations list can be filtered for the Flagged status and in the details view the flag icon will have a red outline.

If the reason for the flagging is that the AI didn't have the answer or gave a wrong answer but the issue has been resolved (eg. by adding or updating sources), you can then change the status to Closed. This makes it easier for your team to be on the same page and direct their attention to where it's needed.

Show conversation status

More functionality when flagging a response 🚩

It is now possible to flag repsonses as part of your internal evaluation and not just for reporting issues to the Unless team. This way, when analyzing conversations, you can flag responses and leave notes for your colleagues describing what the issue is and/or what the answer should have been.

Reporting a flagged response to the Unless team as a technical bug is now optional.

At this stage, you can also add the question to your Quality control center. Don't worry if the question isn't how you would structure it, once you click save, you will have the possibility to edit the question and the control answer.
