Key Highlights in Oxygen AI Positron Assistant 7.0
Next-Generation AI Model Support
* Oxygen AI Positron Assistant 7.0 introduces support for
OpenAI’s latest GPT-5 models - including GPT-5, GPT-5
Mini, and GPT-5 Nano - delivering even more accurate,
context-aware, and efficient AI-powered assistance.
* You can now leverage the latest Anthropic Claude (Opus
4.1, Sonnet 4) and Google Gemini (2.5 Pro, Flash) models,
ensuring access to the most advanced AI engines for content
creation, review, and transformation.
* As an Oxygen AI Positron Assistant Enterprise user, you also
benefit from direct integration with xAI Grok services,
further expanding your range of available AI technologies.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) Integration
* Oxygen AI Positron Assistant 7.0 integrates the Anthropic Model
Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard that enables
contextual interactions between an LLM and data sources using AI
tools. This ensures that AI interactions are always grounded in
your project’s unique content and requirements, providing more
relevant and reliable results.
AI-Powered XML Validation and Automatic Fixes
* The AI Positron Fix action now corrects invalid or
non-well-formed XML (including DITA, DocBook, TEI, HTML, and more)
for you directly within the editor via the Quick Fix triggers. AI
Positron also features automatic validation and correction of
invalid or not well-formed XML in AI responses and inserted
content, ensuring end-to-end XML integrity for your content.
Enhanced Collaboration and Usability
* Multiple Chat Modes: Choose from Agent, DITA Agent, and
Ask modes to tailor AI interactions to your workflow, whether you
need project-wide changes, DITA-specific assistance, or quick
answers.
* Rich Attachment Handling: Attach files (XML, Word, PDF,
images, and more) or paste screenshots directly into chat prompts.
Visual chips make it easy for you to manage, review, and reference
attachments, streamlining communication with the AI.
* Improved Word (.docx) Support: Your attachments now
preserve original structure and context, ensuring more accurate AI
responses.
* Invoke AI Actions in Chat: Directly instruct the AI to
perform complex tasks, such as grammar correction or document
transformation, from within the chat interface.
Powerful Tools for Developers and Teams
* Search in Project Tool: The new "search_in_project"
tool empowers the AI to perform advanced searches across your
project files using wildcards, regex, and XPath, grounding
responses in your actual content.
* Custom AI Action Debugging: You can now debug custom AI
prompts and test AI actions using a new XSpec template, ensuring
robust and reliable automation.
* Flexible OAuth2 Integration: You have enhanced
configuration options for connecting to custom AI endpoints and
identity providers.
Advanced Team Management and Reporting
* If your organization uses the Oxygen AI Positron Service, team
managers can now download invoices and generate detailed usage
reports, providing full visibility and control over team credit
consumption and subscription management.
