v1.12.20
CurrentDecember 20, 2025Website knowledge (scraping)
- Added Website sources to AI Knowledge so your agent can learn from your public docs and help pages.
- New Discover → Select → Import workflow: discover pages first, then toggle the specific pages you want the AI to use (no auto-import of the entire domain).
- Improved crawling quality with sitemap seeding, basic robots.txt support, URL deduping, and filtering of third‑party /
mailto:/ non-content links. - Added separate actions for Discover pages vs Sync imported pages so you can refresh embeddings for enabled pages without re-discovering everything.

- More accurate reporting for what customers ask about, including Product Discovery.
- Friendlier usage limit messaging with clearer next steps.
