Release Notes for Mindbreeze InSpire
Version 24.7

Innovations and new features

New component “AI Answers” available in the Insight App Designer

Mindbreeze customers can now enhance their Insight Apps via drag and drop with the new component “AI Answers” in the Insight App Designer. AI Answers enables users to receive answers with precise and rights-checked information in natural language. This information can come from direct matches or from the summarized content of multiple documents. For more information, further answer options from the source documents are available in addition.

AI Answers uses Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate appropriate answers. When configuring the component, administrators can specify the LLM to be used. Furthermore, users can also stop and restart the generation of the answer.

Meta Llama 3.1 added to Mindbreeze InSpire SaaS environments

Mindbreeze SaaS customers now have access to the Large Language Model (LLM) Meta Llama 3.1 Instruct 8B. Meta Llama 3.1 offers a significantly expanded context size of up to 128,000 tokens to enable longer prompts. By using Llama 3.1 in combination with Mindbreeze AI features, like the Mindbreeze InSpire AI Chat, customers can now obtain valid and verified information more intuitively and efficiently.

Mindbreeze InSpire is now available in the Oracle Cloud

Mindbreeze InSpire is now available in the Oracle Cloud as Mindbreeze InSpire Image. In addition to On-Premises, SaaS, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, customers can now use all the features, like the Mindbreeze InSpire AI chat and the 360-degree views, in the Oracle Cloud as well. The image is available in the contract tiers 1M and 10M.

Optimized navigation in the Mindbreeze InSpire Client

With the Mindbreeze InSpire 24.7 release, navigation in the Mindbreeze InSpire client receives an optimization. Users can now modify their configured search queries using the back and forward function in the browser. This provides Mindbreeze users with a more intuitive support when adjusting search restrictions and a more precise navigation in the Mindbreeze InSpire Client.

The back and forward button in the browser allows users to incrementally remove and re-apply configured search restrictions, such as filters and rankings. In addition, search restrictions remain active when the browser window is reloaded, which makes it easier to get new search results. Mindbreeze users can therefore customize their searches more easily and more precise, and conduct their research faster.

Optimized creation of web thumbnails

With the Mindbreeze InSpire 24.7 release, Mindbreeze customers have the option to use an alternative WebPageThumbnailFilter. In addition to a potentially faster creation of thumbnails, it also offers a high level of security and compatibility.

More efficient adjustments with the Systems Manager Agent for Mindbreeze InSpire AWS Images

For customers who operate Mindbreeze InSpire via Amazon Web Services, the Systems Manager Agent (SSM Agent) is available with the Mindbreeze InSpire 24.7 release. The SSM Agent makes it possible to update, manage, and configure resources such as On-Premises servers and virtual machines. Among other things, administrators can carry out adjustments easier and more efficient with this.

Technical extensions

Enhanced flexibility of JWT authentication by specifying multiple attributes

If a company uses multiple OAuth clients or token providers, defining the identity claim can be an inconvenient process. With Mindbreeze InSpire 24.7 release, administrators receive an optimized JWT authentication by being able to specify multiple attributes as an identity claim. This allows JWT authentication to flexibly adapt to various use cases.
