As AI agents become increasingly embedded in business operations, user experiences, and regulated workflows, the need for greater transparency, control, and performance visibility is more important than ever. That’s why we’re introducing a set of major updates to GenAI Platform, now in public preview, including enhanced agent development features and improved data sourcing through knowledge base citations. These new capabilities make it easier than ever to build, deploy, and refine your AI agents. We’re rolling out powerful new features that give teams more control, transparency, and efficiency when working with AI agents. Knowledge base citations for better transparency Understanding the source of AI-generated responses is critical for trust and reliability. With the new knowledge base citations feature , AI agents can now provide clear source attribution for retrieved information, helping users trace responses back to their original context. Source attribution displays file names, URLs, PDF pages, and table references. Improved auditability enables verification for compliance and transparency. Enhanced trust reinforces confidence in AI-generated responses. This feature is especially valuable for business intelligence applications and educational platforms, where accurate and verifiable information is paramount.
