Fuel iX Copilots — Week 33 · August 10–16

This week brought a solid mix of new capabilities and reliability improvements. Highlights include expanded file upload support, and a handful of fixes that smooth out day-to-day friction — from more accurate Google Drive feedback to better handling of scheduled tasks and file status in chat.

  • Larger file uploads now supported: Files larger than 20MB can now be uploaded to the platform. The new upload flow includes built-in file size and type validation to keep transfers reliable.

  • Connections page now permanently available on profile pages: The connections experience is now a stable, consistent part of your profile — no longer behind a feature flag or inconsistently available.

  • Cleaner URL behavior for new conversations: Starting a new chat now keeps the /chats/new URL in place until you send your first message, making navigation more predictable.

  • Accurate feedback for Google Drive connection status: Fixed an issue where a Google Drive connection could fail silently while still showing a success message. You'll now see an accurate status when something goes wrong.

  • Regenerate button works reliably again: Fixed an issue where clicking the regenerate button more than once or twice would stop producing new responses.

  • Scheduled tasks now appear correctly in Custom Copilots: Fixed a bug where the task scheduling tool would silently disappear from a copilot's tool list even when it was enabled in settings.

  • Faster responses during background service disruptions: Resolved an issue where failures in a background telemetry service could delay AI responses by up to 32 seconds. Response delivery is no longer affected when that service has trouble.

  • More accurate file status in AI responses: AI agents now correctly report when an uploaded file is unsupported, failed, or cancelled — rather than repeatedly asking you to wait for processing that won't complete.

  • Knowledge bases created in chat are now properly tracked: Knowledge bases you create directly during a chat conversation are now correctly recognized as managed resources, keeping your knowledge base organization accurate and consistent.

  • System accounts removed from user selection lists: Internal service accounts no longer appear alongside real users in the org picker on Knowledge Base and Copilots pages, making it easier to find and assign the right people.

  • Cleaner user deletion — no more ghost accounts: Deleting a user now reliably removes all associated records in one go, with proper error reporting if any step fails. Previously, incomplete deletions could leave behind ghost accounts that caused authentication conflicts.

  • Fixed team data retrieval errors: Team records now correctly store their ID, resolving silent failures that caused every team lookup to return a validation error. Existing teams have been automatically updated — no action needed on your end.

  • Localization fix for database sync features: French users will now see dates and auto-sync notifications in French rather than English, resolving a display issue with "Last updated" dates and sync status messages.

  • More stable AI agent workflows with malformed tool calls: Agent runs no longer crash when an AI model produces empty or invalid tool-call arguments under heavy load. Bad arguments are handled gracefully so your workflow continues instead of failing.

  • Prompt caching across AI providers: Copilots now cache stable prompt content across Anthropic, OpenAI, and Gemini, reducing redundant processing and improving response efficiency in repeated or long-running conversations - still being rolled out.
