What’s New in Oxygen AI Positron Assistant 6.0

Cutting-Edge AI Models and Expanded Integrations

 * GPT-4.1 as Default Model: All Oxygen AI Positron Assistant distributions now leverage OpenAI’s flagship model for complex tasks, GPT-4.1, with additional options for GPT-4.1 Mini and Nano so you can balance performance and cost.

Smarter, More Reliable AI Interactions

 * Optimized AI Actions: All built-in AI actions have been thoroughly reviewed and enhanced for greater accuracy, consistency, and reusability. Prompts are now authored in DITA XML, ensuring you benefit from maintainability and alignment with best practices.

 * Automatic Validation and Correction: When you insert AI-generated content into a document in Oxygen desktop tools, it is validated automatically, and if errors are detected, the AI will try to correct them for you.

 * Persistent Memories: You can now save your preferences and rules as persistent “memories,” streamlining repetitive tasks and ensuring consistent AI behavior across your sessions.

Enhanced Productivity and Collaboration

 * File Attachments in Conversations: You can now drag and drop or copy/paste files directly into AI chat sessions, providing richer context for AI-driven actions and content generation.

 * Voice Input: You can dictate prompts using your voice in the AI Positron Assistant integrated with Oxygen desktop tools, accelerating your content creation and improving accessibility.

 * AI Actions via Chat: As a desktop user, you can invoke AI actions by referring to them from the chat, enabling a more natural and conversational workflow.

 * Audience-Level Readability: The “Improve Readability” action now supports audience customization, allowing you to tailor output for beginners, experts, or any target audience.

Expanded Development and Authoring Support

 * Broader Language and Editor Coverage: If you use Eclipse, you now have access to AI-powered code generation and explanation in any single page editor from Eclipse, including Java, Python, C/C++, Perl, and plain text editors, in addition to Oxygen XML-provided editors.

 * AI-Enabled Templates: Instantly generate XSLT, XSD, Schematron, JSON Schema, and DTD files using AI-powered templates.

 * Custom AI Actions: New frameworks and official documentation make it easier than ever for you to create, manage, and deploy custom AI actions across all supported platforms.

Streamlined Team and Subscription Management

 * Centralized Team Subscriptions: Organize users into teams in AI Positron Service, manage subscriptions and renewals, and monitor usage from a single dashboard - ideal for organizations scaling their AI adoption.

 * Simplified Installation and Updates: You can now install and update the Eclipse plugin more easily than ever, with "update site" support and drag-and-drop widgets.

Improved Web Author and Content Fusion Experience

 * Persistent Chat and History: You can continue AI conversations seamlessly across editors and sessions, with your chat history retained even after logout.
