Changelog

What's new in Frontierz Studio. Each release lists the user-facing changes, the bug fixes, and any known regressions or API breaking changes that admins should be aware of.

v2026-05-11

Main changes

• Manage users from AI Fellows. From any AI Fellow page, if the Fellow is set to Private, a new Users table appears so it's easier to add or remove user access. See Manage Users.
• Bulk user import for AI Fellows and Learning Paths. A new Import CSV option has been added to the Learning Path and AI Fellow user pages.
• Renamed Skills to Connectors. After some deliberation we have renamed Skills to Connectors throughout the platform. Read the API breaking changes section below.
• Updated Manager capabilities. From now on, Managers can activate or deactivate default Connectors (e.g. Screen Share) but cannot add or remove company-wide Connectors. See Roles & permissions.

Bug fixes and known bugs

• Fix: share user_id on Connector calls. In certain cases, a Fellow would make a tool call or Connector call without properly passing the external user ID provided in the URL or embedding code.
• Fix: sign-in via code allowed by default for embedded Private Fellows. When a Private Fellow is embedded in a website, sign-in via code is now allowed by default. Previous versions redirected the user away from the embedding website to log in.
• Known bug / regression. Version 1.5 of the Realtime models has an intermittent issue where the voice tone or pitch may drop for two or three seconds. This has been reported to the model builders. We will be updating to a new version of the model soon, which fully fixes this problem.

API breaking changes

Starting from this version, HTTP endpoints reference connector (not skill) in the request payload:

{
  "connector_name": "Your Connector Name",
  "connector_uuid": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "execution_uuid": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx",
  "fields": {},
  "user_uuid": "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
}

If you have HTTP Connectors that read skill_name or skill_uuid, update them to read connector_name and connector_uuid before this release rolls out to your tenant.

v2026-05-07

Main changes

• Private AI Fellows. AI Fellows can now be switched to Private mode, restricting visibility and access to logged-in users only. Useful for AI Fellows handling confidential information intended only for specific managers within an organisation. See Visibility.
• Access Management revamp. Two new tabs: Admins and Users. Users can now be granted access to specific Fellows only (e.g. the new Private Fellows). See Access management.
• Creator tracking for AI Fellows and Learning Paths. Newly created assets automatically show their creator. Existing assets don't have this info retroactively.
• Billing detail page. Clicking any row in the Billing table now opens a new view with the full usage breakdown by AI Fellow, split between real-time and text.

Bug fixes and known bugs

• Past conversations transcription fix. Resolved a bug affecting transcriptions of past conversations. The transcription model embedded previously was not available in all Azure regions. Reverted to whisper-1, and future conversations should transcribe correctly.
• Screen sharing and webcam fixes. Minor improvements. Fixed an issue where the Fellow occasionally reacted twice when screen sharing started, repeating "Now I can see your screen".
• Known bug / regression. Version 1.5 of the Realtime models has an intermittent issue where the voice tone or pitch may drop for two or three seconds. It has been reported to the model builders, and a temporary fix is in progress.
