This past month, we’ve added powerful new capabilities that transform how your organization extracts value from unstructured data. The update focuses on three areas: visual reasoning, document analysis, and scalable app development–all designed to accelerate adoption, while delivering answers efficiently.

From understanding any visual element to cross-referencing files against your chatbot’s knowledge base, we’re breaking down barriers between complex data and actionable insights.

See beyond text with visual reasoning

Documents are more than just words–they’re visual records that require both language and vision to comprehend. While many visuals are automatically recognized by AI Hub, our latest feature lets you unlock information about any visual element.

From intricate diagrams and charts to subtle handwritten annotations, AI Hub now recognizes and interprets visual data with serious flexibility. Whether it’s identifying objects, decoding color patterns, or understanding unique font styles, you’ll gain richer insights from your documents.

Visual reasoning empowers teams to extract richer, more comprehensive information from their unstructured data.

Customize and deploy apps at scale

Organizations deal with many of the same documents across various parts of their business–spanning different markets, departments, and use cases. We’ve simplified the process of building and sharing apps for common document types, empowering teams to accelerate ROI without rebuilding the wheel each time.

With the latest update, teams can customize apps with surgical precision. Modify fields, refine cleaning prompts, and adjust validations to perfectly match your document workflows. No more wrestling with rigid, one-size-fits-all solutions.

Whether you’re working across different departments or navigating market variations, you can build powerful apps centrally and share them enterprise-wide, ensuring they adapt to meet each team’s unique requirements. You can even customize Marketplace apps published by Instabase!

Verify files against company standards

Our chatbots don’t just answer questions–they navigate the complex maze of organizational policies, procedures, and knowledge. With our new document upload feature, we’re transforming how your team validates critical information in their day-to-day flow.

Simply upload any document into a chatbot query–from applications and candidate profiles to contracts and case files–and instantly cross-reference it against your company knowledge base. Your AI assistant will immediately highlight compliance issues, policy conflicts, and critical discrepancies that would take hours to identify manually.

No more switching between systems or searching through endless documentation. Teams can now verify documents with speed and confidence, turning compliance from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage.

Extend AI Hub with flexibility and control

Custom functions help you extend AI Hub beyond its out-of-the-box capabilities, taking your apps to the next level. Whether you’re adding specialized business logic, enriching AI outputs with third-party data, or connecting with downstream applications, our latest update gives you more control and flexibility. With our new custom keys feature, you can:

  • Manage secrets and variables globally and locally, reducing configuration overhead while maintaining security
  • Leverage additional file metadata to build more robust logic and functionality
  • Seamlessly customize values for development and production, keeping your process agile and efficient

From simple integrations to complex functionality, you can customize your AI Hub experience with less effort and greater control.
