New Features

Browser Automation

Introducing Browser Automation, a powerful new feature that brings natural-language-driven web automation into your workflows. Simply describe what you want to accomplish and watch as a browser agent automates the task.

The agent can navigate pages and extract structured data with full traceability. Every action is logged with detailed step plans and unique session IDs. Take a look at this quick example:

Get started with browser automation by adding the Browser Use book to your agent.

Updated Books Interface

We've redesigned the Books interface with a cleaner, more intuitive layout to improve browsing, navigation, and book management. The new interface features two main sections: All Books and Connections.

All Books

Connections

Book Details

All Books provides a library view of all the books built by Kognitos. On this page, you can browse integrations, filter by category, or search for a specific book.

The Installed tab shows books you've already added to your agent, making it easy to see what's available versus what you're already using.

Connections is your control center for active integrations. View and manage books you've configured with credentials from one centralized location.

Click on any book to access comprehensive details about it. The Overview section includes information on authentication methods, versioning, and support status.

Books built with our Book Development Kit (BDK) also feature an Actions tab that showcases all available procedures with usage examples.

Enhancements

API Key Usage

You can now see your API usage and limits directly in the API Keys page (found under Settings → Admin & Preferences). Click on the three-dot menu (⋮) to the right of an API key and select Usage to view rate limits and utilization details.

Enhanced Excel Table Extraction

Table extraction from large Excel worksheets is now significantly faster. You can specify a table's exact location by providing the cell coordinates of the first and last headers, which dramatically improves extraction performance. For example:

extract a table from the worksheet where
    the first header location is "A6"
    the last header location is "DR6"

Custom Blank Values in Table Operations

You can now specify custom blank values when casting or rounding table columns. This enhancement gives you control over how empty cells are handled. For example:

cast the table's "Price" column to "int"
    the blank value is 0

round the table's "Price" column
    the blank value is 0.00

Resolved Issues

• Empty Table Cells: Resolved an issue where numeric columns with empty cells were incorrectly converted to a decimal format (e.g., 12345 becoming 12345.0).

• Submitting Guidance: Resolved an issue in the Guidance Center regarding the Submit button being hidden.

• Table Extraction: Resolved an issue where table extraction would fail if the headers specified in a prompt did not match the headers found in the document.
