AI-Powered Summaries, Custom Stages, and More: March 2025 LAI Release Highlights

We’re excited to introduce new features designed to enhance your ability to gain insights, improve customization, and streamline your assessment experience. From AI-powered summaries to better UI clarity, these updates help you move faster and smarter in Lean Agile Intelligence.

🤖 AI Comment Summarizer: Smarter Insight from Feedback

Sifting through tons of assessment comments just got easier. We’ve integrated with OpenAI (via Azure) using GPT-4.0 to bring you AI-powered comment summarization—your first step toward deeper, faster insight.

Why This Matters:

🔹 Identify Key Themes Instantly – AI scans participant comments and highlights the top themes within a time period.
🔹 Separate Prompt Summaries – Prompt-based comments are summarized independently for added clarity.
🔹 Persistent Summaries – Once generated, summaries remain consistent—unless new comments are added.

Where You’ll See It:

• Capability Drilldown > Comments Tab – When 2 or more comments exist, click "Summarize Comments with AI."

• Capability Details Table – Enable the "AI Comment Summary" column to view or generate comment summaries.

• CSV/Excel Export – Export summaries directly from the Capability Details screen by enabling the appropriate column.

This is just the beginning of AI in LAI. Stay tuned for more AI-powered features and templates coming soon!

⚙️ Additional Enhancements for a Better Experience

We’ve listened to your feedback and made several improvements to ensure a smoother, faster platform experience:

🚀 “Show Results” is now “Finalize Voting” - To reduce confusion and improve facilitator flow in Together Mode, we’ve renamed and repositioned the Finalize Voting button. It now sits alongside other key actions, making it easier to move forward in the assessment—even if participants are missing.

🧭 Comments Grouped by Time Period - Comments are now automatically grouped by Time Period, allowing you to easily spot patterns and shifts in feedback over time.

🔹 Improved Performance - We’ve optimized page load times across high-traffic areas like Manage Assessment and Capability Drilldown—resulting in a faster, smoother experience.

These enhancements are designed with you in mind—whether you’re looking for clarity in assessments or greater customization for client interactions. We’re committed to continuously improving LAI to better meet your needs. Explore these updates today, and let us know how they support your goals.
