Medium (title + short body):
add WIP autonomous AI agent
New internal/aiagent package runs AI assistants that reply to customers
on conversations assigned to them, grounded on a knowledge base. Also mines
resolved conversations for FAQ suggestions. Adds admin UI and the v2.7.0
schema. Still work in progress.
Adds two agent-facing AI features: a copilot chat panel in the conversation
sidebar and a generate-reply button in the reply box. Both run an agentic
tool-calling loop whose first tool searches the knowledge base.
Snippets are chunked and embedded on save, then searched in memory with
brute-force cosine similarity (no pgvector). Providers are split into completion
and embedding types. Both are OpenAI-compatible and the API key is encrypted at
rest. Admins can also register custom HTTP tools the model can call.
A new admin AI settings page covers provider config, snippets, and tools. The
v2.6.0 migration and schema add the ai_knowledge_base, embeddings, and ai_tools
tables plus the ai_providers type column.
Livechat:
- Add a live widget preview that renders in the inbox settings help rail.
- Warn when the primary or header colors are too close to the background.
- Require gradient/image background values and notice banner text when enabled.
- Show a default launcher logo in the widget when none is set, matching the preview.
- Drop the Beta badge from the livechat channel.
General settings:
- Add "set agents away on login". Agents log in as away and must go online manually.
- Add "show subject in conversation list" toggle.
Other:
- Add a keyboard shortcuts dialog from the user menu.
- Show a "snoozed until" badge on snoozed conversations.
- Contact search now matches emails partially instead of exact.
- Give outgoing message bubbles a secondary background.
Adds a from_name_template field to email inboxes. When set and the sender is an agent, the template renders with agent and inbox variables and becomes the From display name; the inbox email address is unchanged. Any render failure, or a system-user sender, falls back to the plain inbox From so a misconfigured template never blocks delivery.
Variables: .Agent.FirstName, .Agent.LastName, .Agent.FullName, .Inbox.Name (the inbox name). Based on #249.
