With v0.5.14 live, we’re excited to share what’s next! The upcoming v0.5.15 release packs powerful features to make your chatbot creation smoother and more powerful.
Here’s a sneak peek at what we’re building.
✓ New Date Validation Nodes
Tired of chatbots accepting invalid dates? So are we. Currently, the appointments_scheduler.ria example validates dates as simple text. Soon, you’ll have dedicated date:dd/MM/yyyy and date:MM/dd/yyyy nodes condition types.
The result? Automatic date validation that makes appointment bots like faster and far more reliable without the need of script writing.
✓ Native Ollama Support for Offline AI
We’re integrating direct support for Ollama. This means you can connect your chatbots to run on a vast library of offline Large Language Models.
Why is this a game-changer?
Complete Offline Operation: Keep conversations private and secure.
- Model Flexibility: Choose from tiny 2B parameter models to massive 120B ones.
- Cloud Options Too: Ollama also supports cloud-based models and web search for those who need it.
In short, Ollama support unlocks a new level of versatile, AI-driven conversations.
✓ Smarter AI Context Size Management
Right now, AI Context Size is a global setting. This forces all your chatbot servers to use the lowest common denominator, wasting the potential of more powerful LLMs.
That changes in v0.5.15.
We’re giving each chat bot server its own AI Context Size setting. The global setting will simply become a handy default. Therefore, you can fully leverage the context window of every LLM you use.
✓ Introducing the New Chat4Us-Setup
New features often require database updates. Manually updating every installation is difficult and risks corrupted configurations.
Our solution? A brand-new Chat4Us-Setup project.
This versatile tool makes installation and updates seamless for everyone. Its modern GUI will feel instantly familiar. It functions as three tools in one:
- Installer: Performs fresh installs, creates desktop/menu shortcuts, and can even launch the app and open the user guide for you at the end.
- Updater: Effortlessly updates your current installation to the latest release. It even creates a backup automatically before starting.
- Recovery: Uses a backup to restore your installation after a faulty update, ensuring peace of mind.
We’ll update this post regularly as we get closer to the v0.5.15 release. Stay tuned for more details!
