Read the announcement: Ask OrionAI, from any page

Changes since 1.0.0.

#New

  • Ask OrionAI panel on every page. A sparkle Ask OrionAI button in the top bar (on phones too) and Ctrl+K / Cmd+K open a side panel. Typing a question into the top search box now answers it in the panel instead of taking you to another page.
  • Answers about what's on screen. The panel knows the page you are on: a dataset (its columns, extent and description), a form (its questions, how many submissions it has and how often each question is left empty), a dashboard (its widgets and their numbers), a project (its maps, forms and datasets), or your current catalogue search. A chip shows what it is reading; remove it to ask a general question.
  • Linked sources. Answers search the catalogue as you, so they only use data you can open, and they link the datasets they relied on.
  • Make a map from the panel. Make a map opens a new Map Studio draft with the assistant already building it.
  • Map Studio joins in. On a map in Map Studio, Ctrl+K opens the map's own assistant, which can change the open map.
  • Credits shown. The panel shows how many OrionAI credits you have left this month. Each question uses one.

#Improved

  • Hourly usage limits are now kept in the database, so they no longer reset when the platform is updated.

#Fixed

  • Streaming replies from the AI service could arrive unreadable when the model provider compressed them. They are now decoded before they are passed on.
