AI21 Maestro Is Now Live!

Release Date: July 8, 2025

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.

Google Drive Connector Now Available for Enterprise Customers!

Release Date: July 8, 2025

You 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.
