Areas Affected ​

AI Assistant, Subcontracts, Platform Infrastructure, Security

Highlights ​

  • The AI assistant now understands how subcontract numbering works, so it can give more accurate answers about subcontracts
  • The AI assistant no longer references the buyout sheet, keeping its guidance consistent with the current product

What Changed ​

  • Added subcontract numbering to the assistant's built-in reference of construction terms, so it can explain and answer questions about how subcontracts are numbered more accurately. (Ticket)
  • Removed the buyout sheet from the assistant's instructions and reference material, so it no longer mentions or suggests it in its responses. (Ticket)
  • Behind-the-scenes security improvement: the service now uses managed, automatically issued credentials for cloud access instead of long-lived stored keys. No change to how customers use the product. (Ticket)
  • Behind-the-scenes security improvement: development environments now retrieve their sensitive settings from a secure vault, and an automated check was added to catch accidentally committed secrets. No change to how customers use the product. (Ticket)
