June 3, 2026 Voice input in chat Talk to the agent in chat using your microphone. Your speech is transcribed in real time.
June 3, 2026 Export investigations and chat content as Markdown Copy or download investigations, root causes, recommendations, and artifacts as Markdown, with incident links preserved, to paste into tickets and documents.
June 3, 2026 Private connections show DNS resolution and support multiple names Configure multiple private connection names for a service and see DNS resolution status for self-hosted integrations.
June 3, 2026 Tools added during a chat are available without restarting The agent now detects new tool connections during an active conversation and makes them available within about 30 seconds. You no longer need to start a new chat after connecting a tool or integration.
June 1, 2026 Safety-check results in the investigation timeline Tool-call cards now show safety-check results inline, so you can see exactly what the agent verified before it acted.
June 1, 2026 Athena fallback for very large log files When an Amazon CloudWatch Logs Insights query times out, the agent now queries Amazon S3 logs larger than 1 GB through Amazon Athena, so investigations on very large logs no longer fail silently.
May 28, 2026 Chat sessions recover after a guardrail false positive The agent now evaluates each message independently. One flagged message no longer blocks the rest of the conversation.
May 28, 2026 CloudWatch Logs queries use the correct dates The agent now uses a dedicated tool to calculate timestamps for Amazon CloudWatch Logs queries. Queries return results for the time range you request in both chat and investigations.
May 28, 2026 Correct local times in chat conversations Time zone conversions now handle UTC offsets and day boundaries correctly.
May 28, 2026 Topology understanding refreshes on a schedule For active agent spaces, topology understanding now refreshes automatically. The agent works with current infrastructure context without manual updates. For more information, see Managing learned skills.
May 27, 2026 ClickHouse queries through the Grafana integration If you use Grafana with ClickHouse data sources, the agent can query your ClickHouse-backed dashboards directly during investigations, so you can troubleshoot issues using ClickHouse observability data.
May 27, 2026 Chat returns accurate agent space configuration details When you ask the agent about your space configuration, it now returns accurate resource identifiers including the correct agent space ARN, so you can reference the exact resources in IAM policies and automation.
May 27, 2026 Agent stops repeating the same failing action The agent now detects repeated identical tool calls and breaks the loop to try a different approach.

May 22, 2026 Investigation deep links land directly on the investigation Notification links from your chat and ticketing integrations take you straight to the investigation, with the destination preserved through AWS Console sign-in. Links are included as soon as an investigation enters progress, so you can follow along in real time.
May 22, 2026 Steer agent behavior with AGENTS.md instructions Write scoped instructions, per agent or shared, that shape agent behavior. Instructions are injected into the agent system prompt.
May 21, 2026 Skip investigations with skip skills Create skip skills so the agent ignores certain investigations. Skipped incidents remain visible, can be unskipped with feedback, and emit Amazon EventBridge notifications.
May 21, 2026 Faster, more accurate topology generation for large agent spaces Agent space understanding now generates faster and with greater accuracy for very large topologies.
May 20, 2026 Context usage indicator in chat Chat now shows how much of the context budget you have consumed in a conversation.
