4.99.0

Cognigy.AI

Released April 15, 2025

Features

Free of Charge Model for Building AI Agents

Introduced a platform-provided LLM that allows users to build and test AI Agents without additional licensing costs. Applicable only to design-time features.

MCP Tool for AI Agents

Introduced AI Agent child Nodes: AI Agent MCP Tool and Call MCP Tool. Along with tool actions, you can use Model Context Protocol (MCP), which boosts tool actions by providing a standardized connection between AI Agents and external services. It allows smooth integration with remote systems like APIs and databases, enabling the AI Agent to perform more complex tasks in a secure and efficient way.

Mistral AI – New LLM Provider

Added support for Mistral AI as a Large Language Model provider, expanding available options for LLM-driven AI Agents.

New Google Models Available

Introduced support for Google's latest models: gemini-2.0-flash and gemini-2.0-flash-lite, enabling faster, more efficient AI Agent interactions.

  • Fixed the issue where the last modified date of the Project and its resources wasn't updated when importing a Package or restoring Snapshots
  • Fixed the issue where missing labels weren't added for Knowledge Stores for the new models
  • Fixed the issue where the Locale ID wasn't validated before switching locales during Flow execution
  • Fixed the issue where the handover service by ID returned a 404 error even when a valid ID was provided
  • Fixed the issue where timeout options were ignored for AWS Bedrock, Google Gemini, and Vertex AI models

Cognigy Voice Gateway

Released April 15, 2025

Improvements

  • Added the Enable Immediate Hangup parameter to the Hang Up Node. Activating this parameter immediately ends the call when a Hang Up Node is triggered, bypassing active operations. This parameter is useful for automatically ending calls when an answering machine is detected
  • Improved api-server by adding support for the nova-3 model provided by Deepgram. You can now specify this model in the following Nodes:
    • Set Session Config Node. Go to the Recognizer (STT) settings, select Deepgram as the vendor, then select Custom from the Deepgram Model list
    • Nodes with Set Activity Parameters and Voice Gateway channel, such as Say, Question, and Optional Question
    • AI Agent Node. Go to the Voice settings, select Deepgram as the vendor, then select Custom from the Deepgram Model list. Alternatively, you can specify the model in the AI Agent wizard

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed the issue where the CALL_COMPLETED event wasn't sent because the WebSocket connection was closed beforehand
  • Fixed the issue in the Voice Gateway Self-Service Portal where the synthesizer language for Deepgram and ElevenLabs wasn't updated correctly. As a result, the UI showed the default language instead of the selected one

Cognigy Webchat

Released April 15, 2025

Improvements

  • Added parameters for activating the deletion of the current conversation or all conversations to the Webchat v3 Endpoint settings
  • Added support for progressive rendering of mixed text, AI streams, and rich messages in order, with updated quick reply behavior and full backwards compatibility
  • Updated Webchat v3 to v3.18.0

Bug Fixes

Released April 15, 2025

Improvements

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed the issue where deleting large inboxes caused request timeouts

Cognigy Insights

Released April 15, 2025

Improvements

  • Changed the pre-aggregation error notification so that it doesn't block the loading of other charts

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed the issue where the Locale and rating filters were applying to only one value. Also fixed the rating filter for the Unique Contacts chart

Infrastructure

Cognigy.AI + Insights + AI Copilot

cognigy-auth-jwt

A new Kubernetes secret, named cognigy-auth-jwt, has been introduced in this release of Cognigy.AI. This secret will store a 128-byte random hex value, which will be used for secure JWT (JSON Web Token) authentication. The key is essential for ensuring the integrity and confidentiality of authentication processes within Cognigy.AI, providing a secure mechanism for handling authentication tokens in the Cognigy.AI platform.

Cognigy Voice Gateway

Updated the credentials handling of Homer:

  • Added property {{ .Values.homer.enabled }}. The default value is true (recommended)
  • If the property is set to true, a new secret, vg-homer-password, is created during the deployment of the Helm chart
  • A new job, homer-password-update, has been added. This job updates the default admin user in Homer and updates the password based on the created secret
