Release Notes: Better, Faster, Smarter Answers

Navu 4.7 Release Notes

February 2026

Navu 4.7 includes improvements to AI answer generation, performance, onboarding, integrations, and APIs. Here’s what’s new:


AI Engine and Performance

New Orchestration Engine and Navu-Search

Navu has fully re-engineered how AI answers are generated including a new orchestration engine and full-featured RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation). This improves answer speed and gives us tighter control over how content is selected and assembled.

These are the big three changes to our answering technology in 4.7:

  • A new orchestration engine
  • A redesigned RAG system
  • Navu-Search, our updated content retrieval layer

Smarter Content Weighting

One of the benefits of navu-search is that we now use sophisticated weighting of content to improve RAG results to focus on what is most important in a given context.

Instead of treating all indexed content equally, the system prioritizes content based on context and importance. This improves answer precision and lays the groundwork for future audience-specific content silos.

Faster AI Answers

We have updated to the very latest AI models, with Google Gemini 3 Flash now acting as our primary provider.

Combined with the new orchestration and retrieval systems, AI response times have roughly doubled.

Faster Index Removals

Previously, obsolete content could take over a day to be removed from the index. Removals now happen quickly and predictably, giving teams better control over what Navu can reference.


Onboarding and Visibility

Real-Time Slack Notifications

Teams using Slack can now choose a channel where Navu posts a message each time a question is asked on their website.

This makes it easier to monitor buyer questions, identify content gaps, and share insights internally.

Rebuilt Onboarding Process

For new users, the onboarding experience has been rebuilt to focus on ease and clarity. It now includes:

  • A structured onboarding checklist
  • Weekly checklist reminders during trials
  • A new portal page where customers can view and update progress

This helps trial users get started faster and evaluate more thoroughly.


Content and Platform Improvements

Improved PDFs

We have made multiple improvements to how we handle PDFs, including both the titles and screenshots that we automatically select.

Customer API Enhancements

A new endpoint has been added to the Customer API to provide access to conversation metrics.

This makes it easier to pull rollup data into dashboards and analyze engagement over time.
