What is new in Plexara

A weekly, plain-language record of the capabilities and improvements landing in your platform. Newest first.

Start at the beginning: the Plexara history

Fully managed, always current

Plexara is a fully hosted and managed service. Upgrades, infrastructure, and routine maintenance happen automatically behind the scenes, so there is nothing for your team to install or patch. This log covers only the changes you can see and use: new capabilities, portal improvements, and platform changes that affect how your teams work.

  1. v1.100.1

    Grounded answers, tighter access, leaner context

    Agent EfficiencySecurity & GovernanceKnowledge & Catalog

    This stretch made answers more grounded and the platform tighter around them. Every answer is now anchored in your catalog before it reaches the warehouse, the portal picked up a round of security hardening, and the business context wrapped around each answer stays lean so it never crowds out your data.

    • Answers grounded in your catalog first

      Before it runs a warehouse query, the assistant now grounds itself in your catalog, so answers reflect the data you actually have rather than a guess at its shape. Fewer confident wrong turns, and more answers you can trust.

    • A round of security hardening

      The portal gained cross-site request protection on every change you make through it, and sign-in was hardened to current standards, so the day-to-day work your team does in Plexara sits on a tighter foundation.

    • Curate the catalog without losing your work

      Making several catalog edits in a row no longer overwrites the tags, glossary terms, or descriptions already there, and every change reports the full result. New portal actions let you remove a tag, edit custom properties, and bulk untag, and the Catalog and Context Docs tabs respect who on your team is allowed to write.

    • Context that stays out of the way

      The business context added to each answer now stays within a set budget with a summary-first layout, and search will not let one slow source hold up a whole query, so responses come back fast and keep the focus on your data.

    • Nothing captured waits unreviewed

      The knowledge review queue now shows how long its oldest item has been waiting and how much has aged past thirty days, so the knowledge your team captures gets reviewed and promoted instead of quietly piling up.

  2. v1.94.0

    Canonical knowledge, linked like a wiki

    Knowledge & CatalogPortal & UXAgent Efficiency

    Your knowledge layer grew into a real, linked body of institutional knowledge. Captured lessons now flow into durable, human-readable pages that cite the exact data they describe and cross-link to each other, so what your business knows lives in one navigable place instead of scattered notes, and the assistant surfaces it wherever it is relevant.

    • Canonical knowledge pages

      A new layer of durable, human-readable pages, written in formatted text with diagrams, version-tracked on every save, searchable by meaning, and open to feedback in place. They hold the vocabulary, definitions, runbooks, and context that do not fit inside the metadata on a single table.

    • One Knowledge home

      Memory, proposed insights, and canonical pages are unified into a single Knowledge area that shows their shared lifecycle: a note is captured, promoted to an insight for review, and finally promoted to shared, canonical knowledge, with each step gated by who is allowed to apply knowledge.

    • Knowledge linked to what it describes

      Pages and insights reference the exact assets, prompts, collections, connections, and catalog entries they are about. Those references render as live links that always show the current name and work in both directions, so from any item you can see the knowledge that documents it and click through the whole graph like a wiki.

    • Discover, read, then cite

      Search finds the right piece across every kind of knowledge, a retrieve step reads any result back in full, and a canonical reference lets the assistant cite it precisely, closing the loop from finding knowledge to using it in an answer.

    • Duplicates are prevented, not just discouraged

      When the assistant tries to create a page that closely matches one that already exists, the platform steers it to update the existing page instead, so canonical knowledge consolidates over time rather than fragmenting.

  3. v1.87.0

    One front door for discovery

    Agent EfficiencyKnowledge & CatalogPortal & UX

    Discovery got a single front door. Instead of needing to know the shape of your platform before it could ask, the assistant now finds what exists across every system it can reach with one call, and records knowledge through one consistent action. The portal also got a round of visual and performance polish.

    • Find anything with one search

      A single, universal search spans every source a role can reach, your catalog, memory, captured knowledge, saved assets, prompts, connected APIs, and connections, and returns a balanced set that keeps each source visible rather than letting the largest one dominate, along with a summary of where the matches live.

    • One way to record knowledge

      Capturing knowledge is now a single action that files each note in the right place and avoids re-recording something already known, so the path from a useful moment to durable knowledge is one clear step.

    • A more polished portal

      Asset previews now match light and dark mode and fill the frame edge to edge, the asset grid loads noticeably faster on large libraries, the sign-in button label is customizable, and interactive results built with common React patterns render reliably.

    • Long documents stay findable

      Longer reference documents now index reliably for search, so a big runbook, spec, or policy is something the assistant can actually surface and pull from rather than something too large to find.

  4. v1.86.0

    A human feedback and review loop, end to end

    Portal & UXKnowledge & CatalogAgent Efficiency

    The throughline this week was review. People can leave structured feedback directly on saved work, an agent can resolve it into catalog knowledge, and a new Feedback hub gathers everything waiting on you in one place. Sharing with teammates and browsing your assets both got easier.

    • Feedback threads on your work

      Reviewers can open a correction, question, or suggestion directly on a saved asset or collection, or on a specific quote within it, then reply and work it through an open, answered, resolved lifecycle. Asset and collection lists show how many threads are still open, and someone who arrives through a public share link can take part without a separate account.

    • Resolve feedback into catalog knowledge

      The assistant can close a feedback thread by capturing the knowledge it represents, linking the thread to the resulting catalog update so the path from comment to documented change stays visible. The author then confirms or disputes how it was resolved, and disputing reopens the thread.

    • A Feedback hub, and an agent that works your inbox

      A new hub lists every comment, question, and correction across the assets, collections, and prompts you can see, newest first, with a sidebar badge when something is waiting. A dedicated feedback tool lets you ask the assistant to review and reply to anything pending in a single pass, and validation and sign-off keep open items on a worklist so nothing is dropped.

    • Easier sharing with teammates

      The share dialog now suggests known teammates by name as you type while still accepting any email, and a user with editor access can edit a shared asset details, not just its content.

    • Browse assets by ownership

      Collections and items shared with you now live in one Assets area with a Mine, Shared, or All filter instead of separate pages, and Prompts gains a Shared tab.

  5. v1.83.0

    Your context shows up everywhere, and search gets sharper

    Knowledge & CatalogAgent EfficiencyPortal & UX

    The business context Plexara attaches to every answer now reaches you no matter which assistant you connect, search across your work returns cleaner and better-ordered results, and the prompts your team relies on are finally findable.

    • Context that follows the answer into any client

      The context Plexara travels with every answer, the owners, descriptions, related memory, and what each column actually means, now arrives in a form that every MCP client can read, not just some. If you connect a tool that previously showed bare results, the surrounding context now comes with them.

    • Sharper, better-ordered search

      Results across memory, saved assets, collections, and prompts now separate cleanly instead of bunching together, so the closest match rises to the top instead of getting lost in a tie.

    • Find every prompt your team relies on

      Built-in workflow prompts and the prompts your administrators set up now appear in prompt search alongside everything else, so a shared workflow is something you can look up rather than something you have to already know exists.

    • Edits that report honestly

      Editing only the body of a saved asset no longer shows a failure after it actually saved, and knowledge you or an admin reject is now correctly kept out of what the assistant recalls later.

    • Shared downloads that work from anywhere

      Download links for exported results and files now resolve from outside your network, so a link you share with a colleague or partner opens for them instead of dead-ending.

    Read more: why this matters
  6. v1.81.1

    A governed prompt library and search that ranks by meaning

    Agent EfficiencyPortal & UXKnowledge & Catalog

    Prompts grew into a governed, shareable library, and relevance search that ranks by meaning now reaches every corner of the platform: knowledge, prompts, saved assets, and collections, in both the assistant and the portal.

    • A first-class prompt library

      Prompts gain a full lifecycle (draft, approved, deprecated), tags, admin promotion through a review queue, and direct sharing by email, where the recipient gets a real, runnable prompt rather than a flattened copy.

    • Search by meaning, everywhere

      Relevance search (meaning plus keywords, with an automatic keyword-only fallback) now covers captured knowledge, prompts, saved assets, and collections, across both the assistant and the portal, always scoped to what you are allowed to see.

    • Consistent, self-describing errors

      Failed tool calls now report in a uniform, self-describing way, so the assistant can tell a fixable input mistake from an authentication problem or an outage.

    Read more: why this matters
  7. v1.79.1

    Bigger exports and self-service configuration

    Platform StabilitySecurity & GovernanceIntegrations

    This week rounded out reliability and control. Plexara now handles very large exports without strain, and admins can configure the whole platform just by asking the assistant.

    • Reliable large exports

      Large query results and API responses now stream straight to storage, so you can export big datasets without hitting size limits or slowing the platform.

    • Configure the platform by asking

      Admins can set up the platform by talking to the assistant: create roles, add connections, adjust the assistant instructions, and manage prompts and API keys, with every change attributed and logged.

    • Tighter access control

      Connection access is now closed by default. Each role sees exactly the connections it has been granted and nothing more.

    • Readable connection notes

      Connections can carry richly formatted descriptions with a collapsible reveal, so the context behind each one is easy to read.

    Read more: why this matters
  8. v1.76.0

    Smarter tool selection and memory

    Agent EfficiencyIntegrationsPortal & UX

    A busy week focused on making the platform intelligence visible and its answers faster. New dashboards surface the health of search, the assistant finds the right tool on its own, and memory recall got sharper.

    • See the health of search

      A dashboard shows the state of semantic search across your connected systems, with accurate coverage and clear status.

    • Find the right tool automatically

      The assistant can locate the best tool for a request based on what you mean, not just the tool name.

    • Smarter memory recall

      Memory search now blends meaning and keywords, so the assistant brings back more relevant context from past sessions.

    • Broader connectivity and cleaner audit

      Added support for file-based (WebDAV) services, and activity logs now separate assistant activity from API activity for cleaner audit trails.

    Read more: why this matters
  9. v1.67.0

    Operability, more authentication, and security hardening

    Security & GovernanceIntegrationsPortal & UX

    Operability and security took center stage. Connected APIs became usable from outside the assistant, live operational dashboards arrived, and security hardening tightened isolation between users.

    • Use connected APIs from other tools

      A web endpoint exposes your connected APIs to tools beyond the assistant, such as data pipelines and scripts, under the same access rules and activity logging.

    • Live operational dashboards

      Live health and usage metrics for your platform, in an admin dashboard for monitoring how it is running.

    • More ways to authenticate

      Added support for APIs that use basic username and password, and for internal or corporate APIs secured with client certificates (mTLS).

    • Redesigned role editor

      A single, clearer editor for a role permissions and the assistant behavior settings.

    • Security hardening

      Tightened isolation so one user activity history can no longer be visible to another on a specific connection type.

    Read more: why this matters
  10. v1.62.2

    The API connector matures

    IntegrationsAgent EfficiencySecurity & Governance

    With the API connector in place, this week hardened it for real-world use: versioned catalogs the assistant can understand, more reliable sign-in, and search that matches on intent.

    • Versioned API catalogs

      Each connected API now has a versioned catalog so the assistant reliably understands its operations and inputs, including APIs that need a second credential header.

    • More reliable connection sign-in

      Sign-in for AI-tool and web-API connections is unified, with automatic token refresh before expiry, a history of authentication events, and clearer errors.

    • Search by intent

      API operations are now ranked by what you mean rather than exact keyword match.

    Read more: why this matters
  11. v1.58.3

    Connect to any REST or HTTP API

    Integrations

    One of the biggest capabilities yet landed this week: the assistant can connect to and use any external REST or web API.

    • Call external web APIs directly

      The assistant reads each API published description to discover what operations are available, signs in securely on your behalf with OAuth, enforces per-role rules on individual endpoints, and can export API results as assets.

  12. v1.57.5

    Smoother connections, refreshed portal

    IntegrationsPortal & UX

    A round of refinement made connecting external services less fiddly, and the portal adopted a refreshed visual identity.

    • Easier external connections

      Connecting external services is smoother: a clear Connect button for sign-in, and friendly error messages when something needs attention.

    • Refreshed look

      The portal adopts a refreshed visual identity.

  13. v1.57.0

    Reach beyond Plexara

    IntegrationsPortal & UX

    The platform began reaching outward. A new gateway lets it connect to and use tools hosted on other servers, weaving their capabilities and your context into the same experience.

    • Connect to other AI tool servers

      A new gateway lets Plexara connect to and use tools hosted on other MCP servers, automatically carrying your business context across them.

    • Redesigned Tools page

      A cleaner master-detail layout for browsing everything the assistant can do.

  14. v1.56.1

    Get results out, stay in sync

    Portal & UXKnowledge & CatalogPlatform Stability

    Getting results out of the platform and keeping clients in sync were the focus. A new export turns any query straight into a downloadable file, and tool lists update live for everyone connected.

    • Export results to a file

      A new export turns any query directly into a downloadable, shareable asset in CSV, JSON, or Markdown.

    • Live updates

      The assistant available tools refresh automatically for everyone connected whenever configuration changes.

    • Formatted knowledge and memory

      Knowledge and memory now render as cleanly formatted text in the portal.

  15. v1.55.6

    The assistant remembers

    Agent EfficiencyKnowledge & CatalogPortal & UX

    The assistant gained a longer memory and the platform gained more day-to-day flexibility. Preferences and context now carry across sessions, and prompts and reference files can be managed on the fly.

    • A first-class memory layer

      Memory keeps preferences, corrections, and context across sessions, for both agents and analysts.

    • Manage prompts on the fly

      Create and edit prompts directly in the portal.

    • Upload reference files

      Upload and manage files the assistant can use as reference material.

  16. v1.50.1

    Organize and configure without engineering

    Portal & UXSecurity & GovernanceKnowledge & Catalog

    This week made the platform more organized and more configurable without engineering help. Saved work can be grouped into collections, and more settings became editable directly in the admin screens.

    • Collections

      Group related assets into shareable collections with thumbnails and a browser.

    • Editable settings

      Configure the platform through admin settings screens, with roles and API keys changeable at any time.

    • Per-role tool and data filtering

      Tools and connections are now filtered by role.

    • Advanced catalog search

      Search the catalog with column-level filtering.

  17. v1.46.0

    Richer catalog edits

    Knowledge & Catalog

    A small, focused update broadened how the assistant can contribute to the catalog, adding richer document-style changes when it writes context back.

    • Document-style catalog updates

      The assistant can make richer, document-style updates when it writes business context back to the catalog.

  18. v1.45.0

    Maintain the catalog, not just read it

    Knowledge & Catalog

    Until now the assistant could read the data catalog. Now it can help maintain it, improving documentation, tags, and ownership through conversation.

    • Update the catalog, not just read it

      The assistant gains tools to create and update catalog entries, so it can help maintain documentation, tags, and ownership.

  19. v1.44.0

    A polished sharing experience

    Portal & UXPlatform Stability

    The work this week centered on making sharing genuinely pleasant to use. The public viewer matured into a polished experience, and saved assets gained preview thumbnails and full version history.

    • A polished public viewer

      A large investment in the public viewer: dark mode, expiration notices, sharing by email with permission levels, save to my assets, view counts, and branded headers on shared links.

    • Preview thumbnails and version history

      Saved assets get automatic preview thumbnails and full version history, including the ability to revert to an earlier version.

    • One-click prompt workflows

      A reusable prompt system with categories and workflow prompts.

    • Spreadsheet exports

      Save and download results as CSV.

  20. v0.37.0

    Save and share what the assistant creates

    Portal & UXSecurity & Governance

    A milestone week. The asset portal arrived, turning the things the assistant produces into saved, viewable, shareable items rather than one-off outputs that disappear at the end of a chat.

    • The asset portal launches

      Dashboards, reports, charts, and other outputs can be saved, viewed in the browser, and shared through a branded public viewer, with a record of which tool calls produced each one.

    • One portal, one login

      A single unified portal with single sign-on.

  21. v0.30.0

    Tailored to who is asking

    Agent EfficiencySecurity & GovernanceKnowledge & Catalog

    The experience started tailoring itself to who is asking. The platform self-introduction now adapts to a person role, tools carry friendly names, and admins can publish their own reference material.

    • Role-aware introduction

      The platform introduction adapts to each person role, and tools carry friendly, human-readable names.

    • Custom reference material

      Admins can publish custom resources the assistant can read on its own.

  22. v0.26.1

    Richer conversations, sharper answers

    Agent EfficiencyPortal & UX

    Two themes ran in parallel: making the assistant conversational abilities richer, and making its answers sharper, so responses stay relevant without unnecessary noise.

    • Richer assistant interactions

      Reusable prompts, file and resource attachments, live progress updates, and the assistant asking a clarifying follow-up when it needs one.

    • Smarter, leaner answers

      Context is narrowed to the columns a query actually uses, empty descriptions are dropped, and search results include ready-to-run example queries and a schema preview.

    • Admin portal polish

      Light and dark branding, and the ability to replay a past tool call straight from the activity log.

  23. v0.19.0

    Administration and a knowledge loop

    Knowledge & CatalogPortal & UXSecurity & Governance

    Administration moved into a real web dashboard, and the platform learned to get smarter over time. The standout was a knowledge loop: the assistant can capture what people teach it and fold it back into the catalog.

    • The admin dashboard arrives

      A web admin portal with an activity dashboard and the ability to run and inspect tool calls.

    • Capture and apply knowledge

      The assistant can capture insights from a conversation, for example that a column is gross margin rather than revenue, and, with admin approval, write them back into the catalog so no one explains the same thing twice.

    • Control which tools are available

      Admins can turn specific tools on or off.

  24. v0.14.0

    Accountability and smoother sign-in

    Security & Governance

    This stretch was about trust behind the scenes. The platform gained complete, durable activity logging so every action is accountable, and smoothed out the sign-in experience across clients.

    • Complete activity logging

      Every action is now recorded in full detail for accountability and audit.

    • Smoother sign-in

      A round of fixes to the login flow so signing in is seamless across different clients.

  25. v0.11.0

    Richer answers at a glance

    Agent EfficiencyKnowledge & CatalogPortal & UX

    With access and basic context in place, attention turned to making answers richer at a glance. The assistant began tracing how data connects across systems and showed its first interactive results.

    • Data lineage in context

      Answers now show where data comes from and what depends on it.

    • The assistant knows the platform

      It starts each session aware of which data and tools are available, which produces better, better-routed answers.

    • Interactive query results

      An early look at visual, interactive result views in place of plain text, plus the ability to add custom interactive apps.

  26. v0.7.1

    Where it began

    Security & GovernanceKnowledge & Catalog

    The earliest releases focused on the essentials everything else builds on: getting people securely signed in with their own accounts, and grounding answers in your own definitions rather than raw database columns.

    • Single sign-on

      People sign in with their existing company accounts, with access governed by their role from day one.

    • Answers come with business context

      When the assistant describes or queries a table, it automatically brings in the surrounding context (owners, descriptions, tags, and glossary terms) from the catalog, so results are not just raw columns.

Before the first release

2018 to 2026: the longer story

This changelog starts with v0.7.1 in January 2026, but Plexara did not start there. It began inside Deasil Works as Methodology, a research project built on a single thesis: a company's data is described by the way its people query it. The foundational pieces were in motion from 2018, the local-model toolkit arrived in 2023, and when Anthropic published the Model Context Protocol in November 2024, Methodology stopped trying to beat frontier models and became the governed layer that makes them fluent in your business. It was renamed Plexara in 2025.
