Back to the latest release notes This document provides archived information on the feature updates and enhancements introduced in the Platform Services of AI for Service (XO) v11.x past releases.

v11.20.0 December 07, 2025

This update includes enhancements and bug fixes. The key enhancements included in this release are summarized below.

LLM & Generative AI

Prompts Library: Search and Filter The Prompt Library now offers enhanced search, sorting, and multi-select filtering by name, feature, model, type, status, or usage, with a Quick Filter for instant access to system and custom prompts.

Channels

Enhanced Session Management for Email Channel The Email Channel now supports more accurate session handling through two new app-level configurations. These improvements prevent unintended session merging, preserve context, and provide a clearer experience across automation and agent workflows.
  • Channel-Based Sessions: Creates a new session based on the “To” email address. Emails sent to different support addresses always start new sessions, keeping unrelated issues separate.
  • Thread-Based Sessions: Creates a new session based on the email thread’s Reference ID. Replies within the same thread continue the session, while new threads start new sessions. Available only when Channel-Based Sessions are enabled.

App Settings

Unified Interface for Locale-specific Responses A new ‘Locale-specific Responses’ section in Languages Management provides a consolidated view of all language-dependent components - Dialog Components, Standard Responses, Content Variables, and Small Talk, streamlining multilingual app development. Developers can now update prompts and messages for all enabled languages from this single interface.

v11.19.1 November 19, 2025

This update includes an enhancement and bug fixes. The key enhancement included in this release is summarized below.

Channels

New Channel Integration: Amazon Connect Chat Amazon Connect Chat is now available as a communication channel, enabling real-time user interactions with AI Agents. The integration supports both hosted and custom widget configurations.

This update includes enhancements and bug fixes. The key enhancements included in this release are summarized below.

Channels

Multiple Files Upload Support in WebSDK WebSDK v3 now enables users to upload multiple files simultaneously in a single action. Users can select up to 10 files at once, with each file limited to 25 MB. The platform returns all file URLs as an array for seamless integration with downstream workflows. The maximum file count is configurable to accommodate different organizational needs.

APIs

Public API Response Payload Encryption AI for Service now supports Response Payload Encryption to protect sensitive data in Public API responses. When enabled, each response is encrypted using a client-provided public key, ensuring that only the intended client can decrypt and access the data. The feature strengthens data confidentiality, maintains integrity across API communications, and provides an additional layer of enterprise-grade security.

v11.18.0 September 27, 2025

This update includes enhancements and bug fixes. The key enhancement included in this release is summarized below.

Channels

Enhanced Custom Email Domain Capabilities AI for Service now enhances custom domains with advanced capabilities, including email forwarding, domain setup, DKIM, and Flow mapping to improve scalability and brand alignment in enterprise email automation. Key enhancements:
  • Email Forwarding: Centralize email processing by forwarding emails from enterprise domains to a single Kore.ai mailbox.
  • Advanced Custom Domain Setup: This new option, in addition to the existing Standard setup, supports up to 50 custom domains and 50 email addresses per domain.
  • DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) Support: Secure email authentication is now provided for each advanced custom email domain.
  • Flow Mapping by Email ID: Route incoming emails accurately by linking custom domain email addresses to specific Flows.

v11.17.1 September 15, 2025

This update includes enhancements and bug fixes. The key enhancement included in this release is summarized below.

LLM & Generative AI

New GenAI Dashboard for LLM Usage and Performance Monitoring The new GenAI Dashboard offers comprehensive insights into LLM token usage and performance across AI for Service. Users can track token consumption by modules, models, and features, with detailed analytics available in the Performance Analytics section. This capability enables organizations to effectively manage infrastructure costs, optimize AI performance, and make informed decisions when scaling AI capabilities. Manage LLM Token Limits, Usage Cycles, and Notifications AI for Service now allows users to define token usage limits and usage cycles for all LLM Integrations (except XO GPT). Users can also set up automated notifications when token thresholds are reached, enabling proactive cost management, preventing budget overruns, and supporting informed decisions about scaling AI features based on real usage patterns. Enhanced Model Library UI The enhanced Model Library interface improves LLM visibility and organization by clearly separating configured integrations from available ones. Configured integrations now display token consumption if configured, providing clearer usage insights and easier control over the integration. Anonymize Sensitive Data in LLM Calls The Platform now supports anonymizing sensitive data (entities, tool parameters) before LLM interactions. Users can define regex patterns for redaction, masking, or replacement. When the LLM-layer PII option is enabled, anonymization applies only during language model interactions, with original values restored afterward. Conversations and debug logs always show unmasked data. LLM-layer PII works alongside global PII, with global settings taking precedence. Vector Generation Feature Split into Text and Image The Vector Generation feature is now split into separate Text and Image components, providing independent control over models, prompts, and feature enablement for each content type. The new XO GPT-VDR model generates visual embeddings, while existing configurations are preserved under the Vector Generation - Text feature.

Migration

Migration of Universal Bots from XO10 Bot to XO11 Automation Apps XO10 Universal Bots act as orchestrators that route user inputs to linked Standard Bots for intent handling. In XO11, this orchestration is supported within a Standard App via DialogGPT, eliminating the need for a separate Universal Bot construct. This release introduces a guided migration path to help users seamlessly transition XO10 Universal Bots into the XO11 framework.

Channels

Repeat Bot Response Event now supports SmartAssist Gateway Channel The platform now supports the SmartAssist Gateway channel for the Repeat Bot Response event. This allows end-users to ask the virtual assistant to repeat its recent responses during a conversation. This support is in addition to the existing voice channels: IVR, AudioCodes, and Twilio Voice.

Flows

Agent Transfer Node: Restriction on Prompting Tasks and Dialog Configuration To prevent execution issues where flows unexpectedly return to the welcome message, the Agent Transfer node now includes a note clarifying supported dialog types. When selecting a specific dialog within this node, only preprocessing tasks should be used, not prompting tasks. Prompting tasks, such as those containing entity nodes, can interrupt the flow and prevent the Agent Transfer from executing correctly.

APIs

Support for Proactive Notifications for Webhook Channel via Public API The Proactive Notifications feature for Webhook Channel has been enhanced to support multi-user messaging using a public API, enabling businesses to send outbound messages to multiple recipients simultaneously. Key features
  • Multi-user messaging in a single API call.
