- Multi-agent AI assistant — the assistant now coordinates specialized sub-agents behind a single orchestrator, producing more accurate, better-reasoned answers to your data questions.
- Visual explanations in chat — the assistant can generate diagrams and inline charts to illustrate its answers, so complex results are easier to understand at a glance.
- AI (LLM) workflow step — call a large language model directly as a step in your workflow, with multiple providers and access levels supported.
- Generate a SQL Extract from a description — describe the result you want in plain language and the assistant writes the query for you, even choosing the relevant source tables; the generated SQL and detected columns stay fully editable before you save.
- Export a table with the assistant — ask the assistant to export a table and it builds a re-runnable export step for you, with the file format following the extension you choose (CSV, TSV, Excel, Parquet, JSON, or XML).
- AI assistant on mobile — talk to the assistant from the PlaidCloud mobile app.
- 140+ new data connectors — a major expansion of supported data sources, with guided connection setup and automatic discovery of the streams available to import.
- Incremental, resumable syncs — syncs pick up where they left off and merge new records by key, so you only move what’s changed.
- Faster Snowflake imports — server-side unload speeds up large imports from Snowflake.
- REST Request workflow step — call any endpoint from a connection’s catalog, send a test request, and capture the response into a table — or into workflow variables to branch on.
- Multi-table Join step with a visual join designer — draw joins between table columns on a visual graph, with undo/redo and diagram export.
- Forecast workflow step — run forecasting directly as a workflow step.
- Solver workflow step — run optimization (linear and mixed-integer) as a workflow step, writing solution, constraint, and summary tables.
- Concurrent macro execution — macro steps can run work in parallel for faster processing.
- Collaborative Visual Workflow Designer — a visual view of your workflow with step color-coding, a redesigned canvas, and live collaboration so teammates can work on a workflow together.
- Workflow run history and heatmap — a new run-history view with an activity heatmap to spot patterns and problem runs at a glance.
- Scheduled events calendar — see upcoming scheduled runs in Week, Month, and Agenda views, with overlap detection and a filter across schedule, workflow, and project.
- Table snapshots and point-in-time restore — view a table as it was at an earlier saved point, and restore it in place when you need to roll back.
- Rebuilt project report — a thoroughly redesigned report that documents every workflow step, opens each workflow with a generated flow diagram, and includes an executive summary and audit inventories (connections, tables and their lineage, source files, and exports). Produce it as a polished, branded PDF or as an interactive HTML companion with collapsible detail and a clickable table of contents; a progress dialog tracks generation workflow by workflow.
- Compare and merge projects — see the differences between two projects and safely merge changes between them.
- “Where Used” impact analysis — quickly see where agents and external data connections are used before you change them.
- Allocation root-cause tracing — new lineage and tracing tools make it easier to understand and troubleshoot how allocation results were produced.
- Logs for server Panel apps — open a server Panel app’s logs right in PlaidCloud, with separate Runtime and Build views: see what a running app logged and printed (kept even after it idles and shuts down), or read the build output to find out why a build failed — with level filters, a time range, and auto-refresh.
- Panel apps read data as the viewer — a server-side Panel app now signs each viewer in with single sign-on and reads PlaidCloud data with that person’s own permissions, so it shows each viewer exactly what they’re allowed to see. No shared service account — ideal for per-user dashboards and row-level security.
- Easier-to-read Panel app logs — the log viewer now lets you select a row to read its full message in a side pane, so long errors and complete stack traces are no longer cut off. You can also select several lines at once and copy them — handy for pasting into an AI assistant or a message to your team while you debug.
- Panel app logs show who triggered them — when your app signs viewers in, each log line is tagged with the user whose session produced it, so you can tell which viewer hit an error or warning. (Best-effort — some startup lines run before any viewer is involved.)
- Usage metrics for server Panel apps — a new Usage Metrics view, opened from the app list next to View Logs, shows how an app is being used: unique users, session count, average and median session length, and when it was last used, plus a per-user and per-day breakdown. (Durations are approximate, since apps idle and scale down between visits.)
- Delegated Git administration — a new Git Administration permission controls who can administer your workspace’s Git service, including creating organizations. Attach it to any security group (or use the built-in Git Administration group) to let your own users manage Git, without involving PlaidCloud.
Changed
Section titled “Changed”- More relevant AI answers — improved retrieval pulls in the right supporting context when the assistant answers, and expression-authoring help is now checked against what the engine actually runs, so mistakes are caught earlier.
- The assistant can fix a failing step — when a workflow step errors, the assistant can propose a corrected configuration and, once you approve it, apply the fix — not just explain what went wrong.
- Clearer AI activity — a processing indicator shows while the assistant works on longer queries instead of leaving you with silent dead air, and conversations are now organized by project.
- Faster table previews — the table explorer can show a quick random sample instead of always the first rows, and column value profiles now cap long-running queries (with a “timed out” badge) so the explorer stays responsive on very large tables.
- Larger dimensions scale further — very large hierarchies can now be stored in the project’s datastore as an alternative to the in-memory store, so they persist and scale without slowing things down.
- Visual Workflow Designer enhancements — deep-linkable project and canvas URLs with working browser back and forward, breakpoints on advanced-workflow nodes, and groupable node containers that enable or disable as a unit.
- More robust file imports — improved Parquet handling and clearer, more reliable error reporting for problem files, including malformed XML and tricky text encodings.
- Smoother dashboards and user sync — dashboard rendering fixes and tighter synchronization of users and roles with the analytics layer.
- More resilient connections — self-healing for the caching layer and background-processing fixes reduce stalls and improve overall responsiveness.
- A loading screen for server Panel apps — opening a server-side Panel app that has gone idle now shows a branded PlaidCloud loading screen while it spins up, instead of a blank tab, and turns into a clear “This app didn’t start” message with a retry if it can’t launch.
- A modern look and theme control for server Panel apps — server Panel apps now use a modern Fast design by default, and you set the theme in your app — light, dark, or a light/dark toggle viewers can flip — through the template you serve. Tables and custom styling built for a light background should stay on light.
- No more “stuck refreshing” — fixed a case where the app could repeatedly reload itself when the server briefly couldn’t confirm the current version.
- Join type now sticks — selecting a Right or Full Outer join now persists instead of silently reverting to a Left join.
- Reliable table exports — fixed table exports to Parquet, Avro, and XML that could fail, including uncompressed Parquet on some projects.
- Interrupted steps recover — import and export steps no longer appear to run forever when the worker handling them is interrupted; the work is picked up and finished by another worker.
- CSV import default — fixed an imported CSV step that could fail to run because of a missing “null as” default.
- Panel app permissions in older workspaces — the Panel app read and write permissions now appear, and can be assigned, in workspaces created before the feature shipped.
- Documents browser — fixed folders showing empty on first open, a folder-move path error, and an occasional crash when refreshing a folder that had just been moved or deleted.
- Multi-schema external database imports — fixed “Retrieve Metadata” and “Inspect Source Database” on the Import and Export External Database Tables steps failing with an “unexpected error” when the selected source tables come from more than one schema; multi-schema selections now refresh correctly, and a connection or metadata problem reports a clear message instead of a generic error.
Security
Section titled “Security”- Passwordless access for the PlaidCloud support team — all support team members now sign in without usernames and passwords, eliminating password-based credentials as an attack vector for support access to the platform.
- Stronger per-tenant isolation — each tenant now uses its own dedicated signing secrets for sessions and workflow steps.
- Cross-site scripting (XSS) hardening — dialog content and on-screen notifications are safely escaped by default, with HTML allowed only where explicitly intended.
- Hardened file imports — malformed uploads are handled safely instead of surfacing confusing errors.
- Continuous vulnerability scanning — application images are automatically scanned for known security vulnerabilities as part of every build.
