You Can Now Use Requirements When Working With Tools!
Release Date: September 18, 2025What’s New:
AI21 Maestro now supports Requirements with both File Search and Web Search. This allows you to define explicit constraints, such as format, tone, or content rules. AI21 Maestro will refine outputs to meet them, even when external tools are used for additional context.What This Means for You:
- More control over how responses are structured and styled
- Greater consistency and reliability, even when using external tools
- Streamlined workflows with outputs that meet your standards the first time

AI21 Maestro Is Now Live!
Release Date: July 8, 2025We’re excited to introduce AI21 Maestro.What’s New:
AI21 Maestro is an advanced AI system for rapidly building and deploying knowledge agents that automate complex, high-value business tasks. Built for enterprise use, it combines retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), real-time validation, and dynamic execution planning to deliver accurate, reliable outputs aligned with user-defined goals and constraints.Validated Output ensures that generated responses meet explicit user-defined requirements, such as formatting, content accuracy, tone, or domain-specific rules. Rather than relying solely on prompting, AI21 Maestro enforces these constraints by validating and automatically refining outputs using computational resources.AI21 Maestro RAG features a robust RAG engine that enhances answer reliability by grounding model outputs in enterprise knowledge sources. It supports both semantic file search and web search, enabling contextual, fact-based responses from internal documents or real-time external content.July 8, 2025
Google Drive Connector Now Available for Enterprise Customers!
Release Date: July 8, 2025You can now seamlessly import and sync your Google Drive files directly into your File Library, enabling faster, more integrated workflows.Key Benefits
-
Smart File Support – Automatically imports commonly used formats:
.pdf,.docx,.txt,.html, and.md. - Real-Time Sync – Edits, renames, and newly added files in Google Drive are instantly reflected in the platform.
- Setup Tip – First-time connections may take longer for large accounts, as content is scanned and filtered during setup. Our use of information received from Google Workspace APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We do not use data obtained from these APIs to develop, improve, or train any machine learning or AI models beyond the user’s own personalized experience. Want to learn more? Talk to our sales team.
