Element451 is excited to introduce Bolt Discovery Spaces, a powerful new feature that gives you more control over the knowledge Bolt Discovery uses. Additionally, this release features significant enhancements to the underlying search and intelligence, resulting in more accurate and intuitive results. Our goal is to make it easier for you to deliver the right information to the right audience, every single time.
Bolt Discovery Spaces: This new feature allows you to scope Bolt Discovery's knowledge. Spaces allow you to define what information the agent can access under specific conditions (for example, when a user is on your financial aid page). When those conditions are met, the agent's access to knowledge is limited to the sources you've set for that space, ensuring a more relevant conversation.
Smarter Discovery: We've upgraded the agent powering Bolt Discovery, giving it a more advanced model and the ability to conduct more nuanced research. It can now better handle ambiguous queries by "fanning out" its search across different qualifiers. For example, if a user searches for "tuition," the agent will now look for both undergraduate and graduate tuition information.
Context-Aware Queries: Bolt Discovery now considers the user's current location within your website. This allows it to enrich queries with context and provide more relevant answers. If a user is on your admissions page and asks about "requirements," the agent will know they're asking about admission requirements.
Improved Citation Formatting: We've updated the way we display citations to make them cleaner and more intuitive.
Reduced Top-Level Citations: We've reduced the size of the top-level citations to minimize clutter and help users focus on the answer itself.
Predictable Sorting: Cited sources are now sorted in a more predictable manner. We sort them first by URL depth (e.g.,
/financial-aidbefore/programs/math/tuition/financial-aid) and then alphabetically.
Inline Source Titles: Inline sources now display the actual page title instead of a number, allowing users to easily identify which link corresponds to which citation.
Enhanced Readability: We've made several formatting improvements to make the responses easier to read.
Increased Line Height: The line height has been increased, improving text readability.
Bolded Key Concepts: Responses are now formatted with bold text to highlight important concepts and make key information easier to find at a glance.
These updates provide a more intelligent and user-friendly experience. With Bolt Discovery Spaces, you can now tailor the AI's responses to specific audiences and topics by controlling its access to knowledge. The improvements to the underlying AI-powered search and formatting ensure that users receive more accurate and relevant information in a clear, easy-to-digest format. This empowers you to better serve your students, giving them the information they need, right when they need it.
