Edit Sources
We've just added out a very simple, but powerful feature: an option to view and edit the content of your sources uploaded for training. No more guesswork what is included in chatbot knowledge. From now on, you are able to see exactly what data was used for training; and more importantly, easily add edits!
To get started, head to Knowledge section of your dashboard and click a "✏️" icon on any source.

Usage Analytics
We've created a more detailed breakdown of message usage per day and per model. Additionally, you can also view it for past billing periods. This will be definitely helpful if you need a closer look at your monthly usage! This analytics page can be accessed from the new "quick glance" Usage card in our updated sidebar.
Popup & Bubble Settings
Besides configuring the chat icon position, icon and bubble text, now you can also decide when the bubble should disappear and optionally open the chat window automatically upon the user visit on your website. These two options were greatly anticipated and will help you increase engagement with your chatbot.

This powerful re-ranker makes sure that your chatbot uses only the most semantically relevant information to provide an accurate answer.

New Model
Just released yesterday, but we are already impressed with its performance.
Starting today, GPT-4o mini will become the default model at Chatwith
, superseding GPT-3.5 Turbo. It's almost as fast and capable as GPT-4o but at much lower cost, making it the best replacement to GPT-3.5.This model is available to all our customers on all plans. We recommend upgrading as soon as possible to benefit from increased capabilities. An automatic upgrade of all chatbots on GPT-3.5 will happen in the following weeks.
We recommend testing your chatbot after the change to make sure it works as expected on the new model. Please contact our support if you experience any issues.
