Custom tools are HTTP calls with no read-only guarantee, so a mutating tool
could fire from copilot chat or while drafting a reply. Copilot and
generate-reply now get only the built-in knowledge search, and custom tools
stay exclusive to assistants where admins pick them explicitly. This matches
Intercom, Chatwoot, and Freshdesk. The contact identity headers now flow only
on the assistant path.
Also:
- new "Offer handoff to a human" switch on assistants (default on). When off,
the hand_off_to_human tool is not registered and the prompt tells the
assistant to say it cannot help instead of offering a human. Safety exits
(error, max turns, other participant) still unassign as before.
- workspace admin instructions from the AI config no longer leak into the
customer-facing assistant prompt.
- copilot and reply-draft prompts now treat conversation text and tool
outputs as untrusted data.
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.
