Elephant Company is releasing exciting updates to its AI Assistant, now rebranded from "Companion." The improvements focus on transparency, accuracy, and integration capabilities.
🪄 Show your work: Highlight document sources
The Assistant now scrolls the user to the respective pages and highlights the sentences it used when formulating answers. This feature enables users to verify information and explore surrounding context within documents. The rollout is currently underway.
🔍 Improved accuracy: No answers no more
Enhanced AI-powered document search delivers more complete answers while reducing instances of overlooked information. The system also resolves a language detection issue that previously caused incorrect response languages.
📈 At your fingertips: A more powerful Dashboard
The Assistant Dashboard graduated from beta with significant improvements. New metric tracking includes questions asked, response coverage, feedback received, and unique user counts. Users can filter by team, export data as CSV, and benefit from automatic dashboard updates.
🔌🔌 Plug & Play: Connect your SharePoint with Elephant
Live since January, the SharePoint integration enables synchronization of entire pages, specific folders, or individual files. Support for docx, xlsx, ppt, and additional formats enhances the Assistant's capabilities.
And some smaller stuff
- Users can upload zip files to the wiki for download access without external services
- The Assistant now renders LaTeX, visualizing mathematical formulas when appropriate
