The improvement is particularly noticeable when the user input contains noisy words, spelling mistakes or when the user uses a wording that differs significantly from your expressions.

New bot dialog components
We introduced a new style for the bot dialog components. Looks good, right?

Better performance
In the background, we have switched from one database type to another, making the bots and the platform a lot faster. We will gradually move bots to this new database, so it might take a few weeks for your bot to enjoy the performance benefits.
Team member roles & bot access
A lot of customers use bots in different parts of their organization. They have both a bot to help support their customers, as well as an internal HR bot. Often, these bots process sensitive information that should only be accessible by the team building that specific bot. That's why we have introduced team member roles & bot access.
Enterprise customers can now restrict bots to only be accessible by certain team members. Furthermore, you can set a team member as "read-only" so they can see how the bot is configured, but not change anything.
Read all about how to use team member roles & bot access:
