Knowledge Guidance, Instrument IDs & Workflow Improvements
Release covers: Platform, Bench, SoloApproved shop knowledge can now guide the Assistants more directly, permanent AXB Instrument IDs establish a foundation for long-term instrument history, and new Boost, sample-data, window, and mobile improvements strengthen everyday shop use.
Added
- Knowledge-powered Shop & Bench Assistants — approved Knowledge entries can now be designated as Assistant Guidance for Shop, Bench, and Intake. Shop and Bench Assistants can also automatically bring relevant approved Knowledge into conversations, while Bench can directly search and open Knowledge when needed. Applies to: Platform, Bench
- Permanent AXB Instrument IDs — physical instruments can now receive permanent AXBI-... identities that belong to the instrument itself rather than an individual shop record. This establishes the shared identity layer for long-term instrument history across the growing AXB ecosystem, including AXB:Bench and the upcoming AXB:Solo experience. Applies to: Platform, Bench, Solo
- Installable Sample Data — shops can now be populated with a realistic fictional dataset including customers, instruments, work orders, sessions, measurements, inspections, tasks, items, and photos. Sample data can later be removed without affecting real shop records. Applies to: Platform, Bench
Improved
- Boost is now Off / On / Turbo — Bench and Shop Boost use a simpler three-level control with one shared monthly Boost Minutes allowance. Standard Mini voice remains outside the Boost Minutes pool. Applies to: Platform, Bench
- Expanded Shop Assistant window controls — dragging can now undock and dock Shop Assistant, including on touch devices, while Minimize turns the active Assistant into a movable pill without ending the conversation or call. Applies to: Bench
- Improved phone readability — small text, labels, and supporting information are easier to read on phone-sized screens while preserving the existing mobile layout. Applies to: Bench
Fixed
- Work-order shop switching — switching shops while viewing or editing a work order now exits the previous shop’s record correctly instead of leaving the page stuck in an endless loading state. Applies to: Bench
