What's New

New features, improvements, and fixes across the IrisAgent platform. Updated regularly.

July 2026

Onboarding email shows the topics we found in your tickets

During setup, your onboarding email now lists the support topics IrisAgent discovered in your data, each linking straight into the dashboard. You can see what the AI learned about your business before you go live.

Salesforce sidebar works on Experience Cloud and adds one-click copy

The IrisAgent sidebar now runs on Experience Cloud Case record pages, and agents can copy a suggested resolution, dynamic resolution, or case summary with a single click. Asking IrisGPT a question also submits with Enter.

Live status page incidents now answer customer chats

IrisAgent can now poll your public status page (starting with Instatus) and use active incidents to answer customers during an outage. Instead of waiting on an agent, people asking about a known issue get the current incident status right away.

Stronger answers for non-English customers

Language handling got a broad upgrade: Polish and Ukrainian are now detected in the chatbot, fallback replies are written in the customer’s own language instead of defaulting to English, and long knowledge base articles and uploaded PDFs are translated in full rather than being cut off partway. Non-English customers get complete, native-language answers.

MultilingualChatAccuracy

More precise article retrieval behind every answer

We now index each question and answer pair in an article separately, and long articles are processed in full instead of being skipped. The AI pulls the specific passage that answers the question, so both chat and case answers cite better sources.

How we measure accuracy

Case answers come back noticeably faster

The answer pipeline now runs its verification passes in parallel and follows a deterministic model cascade. Agents spend less time waiting for a suggested resolution to appear on a ticket.

Case AnswersPerformance

Answers now run on GPT-5.6 and Grok 4.5

We refreshed our model leaderboard with the latest frontier models, including OpenAI's GPT-5.6 family and Grok 4.5, so every AI answer runs on the most accurate model available. We also added automatic fallbacks so answers stay reliable even if a provider has an outage.

See what share of your cases IrisAgent has processed

Impact performance cards now show the number and percentage of cases IrisAgent processed, so you can read deflection and resolution metrics against real coverage instead of guessing at the denominator.

AnalyticsImpact

QA your AI answers for grounding in Support Analyst

Ask Support Analyst to grade an AI answer you already sent against the articles it cited. It checks whether the cited articles were relevant and whether every claim is supported, then tells you if a defect was a retrieval miss or a model hallucination.

See procedure analytics and outcomes right in the procedures list

The procedures table now shows impact summaries and feedback outcomes for each Smart Operating Procedure, so you can tell at a glance which procedures are helping and which need attention without opening each one.

See CSAT next to AutoQA scores

AutoQA now shows each ticket's customer satisfaction score right alongside its AI quality score, so you can see where a low CSAT lines up with a QA miss and coach to the tickets that matter most.

Spot failing QA rules at a glance with the rule heatmap

A new rule-by-week heatmap shades each cell by how often that QA rule failed, so a manager can spot a problem rule or a bad week instantly and click straight into the failed reviews behind it.

AutoQAAnalytics

Annotate and share AutoQA reviews with your team

You can now add reviewer notes to any AutoQA review (at the review level or on a specific rule) and share a review with teammates through a direct link and side panel, so discussing findings and coaching no longer means hunting for a ticket ID.

Assign Smart Operating Procedures to specific chatbots

Map each procedure to the chatbots that should follow it, so different bots (for different products, brands, or audiences) run only the procedures that apply to them.

Pay-per-resolution billing excludes handoffs and preview chats

For customers on outcome-based pricing, resolution billing now excludes conversations that hand off to a human and internal dashboard preview chats, so you are only billed when the AI actually resolves a real customer's issue.

Support Analyst answers faster and searches tickets by meaning

The ticket agent now streams its answer and shows each step live (searching tickets, drafting the answer) instead of leaving you on a spinner. It also searches your tickets by meaning, so a question like "customers frustrated about billing" finds the right conversations even without exact keyword matches.

Approve or reject AutoKB drafts in one click

AutoKB drafts knowledge base articles from resolved tickets, and you can now approve or reject each draft right from the dashboard, so getting new knowledge reviewed and published is a single click.

Chain a prerequisite action into a custom API step

A custom API action can now run a prerequisite action first and feed its result into the next call, so you can build multi-step automations (look something up, then act on it) directly inside a procedure.

Smart Operating ProceduresIntegrations

See which conversations each procedure impacts

Each procedure's detail page now shows the real cases and chats where it matched and shaped the AI answer, with permalinks to those conversations, so you can see the impact of a procedure instead of guessing.

June 2026

Support Analyst now suggests procedures and drafts AI answers

Support Analyst gained two new skills: it can suggest a Smart Operating Procedure from your tickets (with a one-click create card and how-to or action typing) and draft an AI answer to a ticket on demand. You get from raw tickets to reusable procedures and ready-to-send answers without leaving the analyst.

Control which source URLs power your chat answers

You can now set customer-level source URL filters so the AI chatbot only grounds answers in the pages and articles you trust, and excludes the ones you don't. Changes take effect immediately, giving you tighter control over where chat answers come from.

AI ChatbotAccuracy

Attach screenshots to the AI chatbot and AI search

Customers can now attach screenshots or images to their question in the AI chatbot and AI search. IrisAgent reads the image and uses it to answer, so people can show a problem (an error screen, a receipt, a settings page) instead of struggling to describe it.

Track pay-per-resolution usage on your Billing page

For customers on outcome-based pricing, the Billing page now shows your resolution usage, so you can see exactly how many resolutions IrisAgent delivered and what you are paying for. You only pay when the AI actually resolves a customer's issue.

AutoQA now grades long tickets reliably

AutoQA grades 100% of your tickets, and it no longer stops short on very long conversations. Reviews that previously failed to complete on lengthy tickets now finish cleanly, so your QA coverage stays complete.

Add a payment method for seamless billing

Securely save and manage credit cards on file directly in your IrisAgent settings, powered by Stripe, so paying for IrisAgent is simple and seamless. Card details are handled entirely by Stripe and never touch IrisAgent's servers.

BillingIntegrations

Rewrite customer terms to match your knowledge base

Add rewrite rules that map the words customers use (like "acct") to the terms your articles actually use (like "account") before the AI searches. This improves which articles get retrieved for both chat and case answers, and does not change the answer shown to the customer.

Support Analyst: ask your ticket data anything, in plain English

Support Analyst is an AI analyst that sits on top of your tickets. Ask a question in plain English and it plans and runs the right skills for you: natural-language search, ticket deep dives, sentiment analysis, instant analytics and agent performance, account overviews, conversation QA, proactive trending-issue alerts, AutoKB article drafting and knowledge-gap detection, plus audio-transcript and multilingual support.

Find and fill knowledge base gaps

IrisAgent now surfaces the questions your customers ask that your knowledge base can't answer, and can draft the missing article for you, so you can close coverage gaps faster.

AutoKB removes duplicate knowledge automatically

AutoKB drafts knowledge base articles from resolved tickets and now detects near-duplicates automatically, so your agents and customers see one clean, authoritative answer instead of several conflicting drafts.
