Preview Features (experimental)

Preview features in Stroom version 7.13. Preview features are somewhat experimental in nature and are therefore subject to breaking changes in future releases.

Ask Stroom AI

Ask Stroom AI, introduced as a preview feature in v7.11, has been substantially improved and remains a preview feature.

  • The chat can be docked as a panel rather than only opening as a dialog.
  • Chat history is kept, and individual messages and attachments can be viewed, opened or deleted.
  • Tables can be attached to a conversation, and are named so that the model can refer to them by source.
  • Larger tables are analysed in batches and the results merged, rather than the request simply being too big.
  • Answers can be copied and downloaded, and messages show when they were sent.
  • Use of Ask Stroom AI is now recorded in the event log.

The chat history is held in the database, which is why a new ai configuration branch appears in this release.

Dense vector fields, introduced as a preview feature in v7.11, remain experimental in both the Lucene and Elasticsearch implementations.

  • Search results can be reranked using a model, including across multiple dense_vector fields in Elasticsearch.
  • The number of dimensions used for embedding is configurable, and can be left unset.
  • A new XSLT function computes the similarity of two float vectors.
