Modeler Release 5.2

This Modeler release is only for the Modeler. Runtimes are not affected. The fact remains that using new features or new expressions may cause issues when they are used in Runtimes that do not support the specific feature. In most cases the Runtime should show a friendly, informative message about non-supported feature, but in some cases it may display a technical error.

Warning: If new features introduced in this release are used while an old Preview is still active, hard crashes can occur. Use Conditionals and Decision nodes to exclude new features from being accessed in an old Preview.

The new Preview environment is always kept up to date with the latest Runtime release and supports the new Modeler features without issues.

Modeler 5.2.0

Highlights

• New "Invoke agent" node. A new flowchart node that can trigger an AI agent without first sending a chat message, a complement to the existing "Send message" node, now also supporting file and image attachments.

• New agent selector interface. Choose between multiple providers and their models, using the new model selector overlay for creating AI agents, with support for new tools like web search and code interpreters.

• Richer AI agent chatbox. The chatbox component now supports a read-only mode and can optionally show tool calls, instructions, reasoning, and timestamps.

New features

AI Agents

• Invoke agent node; New node that triggers an AI agent, independent of the "Send message" node.

• Editable provider field; the provider field on existing AI agents can now be changed (previously only settable at creation).

• Deployment name syncing; selecting an Azure OpenAI model now automatically syncs the deployment name to the model name (manual overrides remain possible).

• Reasoning effort; a reasoning effort level can now be configured for supported AI models.

• Conversation dossier item type; a new dossier type specifically for AI agent conversations (AiAgentConversation).

• New conversation functions; DateCreated(), DateModified(), AiAgentName(), and HasContent() for the Conversation dossier item.

• Read-only chatbox mode; the AI agent chatbox component can now be set to read-only, so it displays a live conversation without allowing input.

• Richer chatbox display options; the chatbox can now optionally show tool calls (with their request/response messages), system/instruction messages, reasoning, and message timestamps, plus a customizable placeholder text for the prompt input field.

• Additional AI provider support; added support for more AI providers, including Anthropic and Google Gemini, alongside OpenAI and Azure OpenAI.

• AI agent selector overlay; creating a new AI agent now starts with a model selector overlay, showing provider, release date, reasoning capability, supported tools, and supported input types before you pick a model.

• File and image attachments; the Invoke agent node now supports sending file and image attachments to the AI agent.

• Wait for response option; the Send message and Invoke agent nodes both support choosing whether to wait for the agent's response or continue asynchronously.

• Web search and code interpreter support; hosted tools like web search and code interpreter can now be enabled directly in the modeler, for AI models that support them.

Functions

• ToConcept(localName, rootConcept); new overload of the ToConcept function.
