Product Release Notes - July 2025

New Features

New: Unsaved Changes Warning Modal

A warning modal now appears if you try to leave a project with unsaved changes. This prevents accidental data loss and matches standard platform modal behavior:

• “Save changes” saves your work before navigating away
• “Discard changes” exits the page without saving
• Works on page refresh, tab close, or navigation (e.g., back to dashboard)
• Includes grayed-out background overlay for clarity

New: Updated Product Names Across the Platform

We’ve refreshed our product names for a more unified experience:

• CreateAI Builder (formerly MyAI Builder)
• CreateAI Chat (formerly ASU GPT)
• CreateAI Compare (formerly Model Comparison)
  You’ll see the new names reflected throughout the apps, from headers to browser tabs.

Usability Enhancements:

Improved: 

• Chat Memory Toggle Renamed and Enabled by Default

  • We’ve updated the chat memory setting under the Behaviors tab for clarity and improved user experience

• UI Copy and Branding Updates - We made several text improvements across the project builder to enhance clarity and align with ASU branding:

  • These updates improve the overall user experience without changing functionality.

Resolved Issues

Fixed: File Upload Support for .csv and .xlsx

Fixed an issue where users were unable to upload .csv and .xlsx files via the chatbot app interface, despite these formats being officially supported. Uploads now work as expected across both the Chat app and Builder interface.

Fixed: Ask Me Bot Placeholder Now Consistently Says “I want to…”

Fixed an issue where the placeholder text in the Ask Me bot reverted to “Questions? Ask me.” after backspacing. It now correctly stays as “I want to…” to match the intended experience.

Fixed: Custom Prompt Text Now Shows in Your App

You can now customize the “Prompt box text” in the builder, and it will appear exactly as expected in your published app. Before, changes to this field didn’t show up in the viewer; it always said “Type a prompt.” That’s now fixed!

Just update the text in the builder, save, and publish your users will see your custom prompt right away.

Fixed: Uploads Now Show a Proper Spinner in the Knowledge Base

We’ve brought back the spinning loader! 
When you upload files to the Knowledge Base, you’ll now see the loading spinner spin while your file is being processed  just like it should. This small fix improves clarity and gives you confidence that your upload is working.

Fixed: Project Creation Instructions Updated

The project creation screen now correctly guides users to enter a Project name and Project subtitle before saving. The updated text reads:

Enter a "Project name", "Project subtitle" and then click "Save" to preview and test your AI project.

Fixed: No More Weird Errors When Previewing URLs

We’ve fixed an issue where clicking the eye icon to preview a URL in the Knowledge Base caused a confusing error like “t is not a function.” That message is gone now  you can preview your links without any error toasts. Everything works as expected!

Fixed: Users Can’t Modify or Remove Their Own Access

Fixed an issue where users could unintentionally remove themselves from a shared project or downgrade their own permissions, potentially resulting in lost access.

• Users can no longer delete themselves as project owners.
• Users can no longer change their own role (e.g., Editor to Viewer) via the share settings.
• UI now prevents owners from selecting themselves in the “Remove Users” modal.
• “Can view” option is disabled in the permission dropdown for the current user.

Fixed: “Make a Copy” Option Incorrectly Shown to Viewers

We’ve fixed an issue where users with Viewer-only access were shown the “Make a copy” option for projects, which led to an error upon attempting the action. The UI has been updated to hide the ellipsis menu entirely for viewers, preventing confusion and ensuring consistent permission-based behavior. Owners and Editors still retain the ability to make copies of projects. This change restores expected access control and aligns with the pre-redesign behavior.

Fixed: Improved Project Link Sharing.  

We’ve fixed an issue where the “Copy Editor Link” button included a specific chat reference in the URL. Now, when you share a project, the link will always point to the main project page no extra chat info attached. This makes links more reliable and easier for others to open without errors or confusion.

Fixed: “Access Denied” When Viewing Your Own App

We resolved an issue where some users saw an "Access Denied" error after clicking “View App”, even though they were the project creator. This blocked users from testing and iterating on their AI apps. You can now preview your projects as expected, whether the app is new, unpublished, or based on a course template

Product Release Notes - June 2025

Product name Update: Introducing the CreateAI Toolkit

We’re excited to announce a major update to the naming and structure of ASU’s core AI tools as we transition to the CreateAI Toolkit — a unified suite designed for clarity, consistency, and future growth.

Here's what's changing: Starting June 30, you’ll begin to see the new names and branding across the platform.

• Model Comparison → CreateAI Compare
• ASU GPT → CreateAI Chat
• MyAI Builder → CreateAI Builder

These changes are part of our commitment to making it easier for the ASU community to recognize, navigate, and utilize our tools as part of a streamlined CreateAI experience.

What’s in the CreateAI Toolkit?

The CreateAI Toolkit represents our evolving AI framework setting a foundation designed to grow alongside the needs of the ASU community.

The new CreateAI Toolkit includes four key components, each serving a unique role:

• CreateAI Compare – Available to everyone
• CreateAI Chat – Available to everyone
• CreateAI Builder – Tailored for faculty and staff use
• CreateAI Platform – Now included as the tactical layer for developers

This unified toolkit not only simplifies naming but also lays the groundwork for the continued expansion of AI tools built by ASU, for ASU.

CreateAI Builder Gets a Major Interface Upgrade

We’ve launched a significant update to CreateAI Builder, bringing a fresh new interface and enhanced functionality to streamline your AI-building experience.

What’s New:

• Redesigned User Interface: A cleaner, more intuitive layout makes it easier to navigate projects, manage agents, and access key features.
• Smarter Guidance: We’re updating the onboarding experience and will soon refresh the AskMe bot and Getting Started guides to reflect these changes.

Why It Matters:

This update lays the foundation for a more powerful and user-friendly CreateAI Builder. Whether you’re designing your first agent or managing complex AI logic, the new interface is designed to help you do it more confidently and efficiently.

We’re currently reviewing and updating legacy content (like the AskMe bot responses) to align with the new experience. If you notice outdated information, feel free to flag it  your feedback helps us improve faster.
