We’ve made the following improvements to the ‘Process map’ column: 1. Fixed bug where the column value showed ‘—’ when it should have shown ‘Draft’ or ‘Published’ 2. If a chat has a process map, then…

Just click Export, select your process maps, configure your branding, and export. This is great for handing over beautiful, branded, process map PDFs to clients.

BA Copilot will now populate metadata for the overall process map, and for its elements (e.g. tasks). In this screenshot, it has auto populated a process map description. What metadata would you most…

The following bug is now fixed: When requesting a refinement to a process map, it generated it, but didn’t auto display that version (e.g. it stayed on v1 of 2, when it should have change to v2 of 2).

Our process map generation is now 32% faster on the 'Core' model. It also generally creates more detailed process maps 👍 (see attached image).

You can now upload PDFs. Do it one of these ways: 1. Drag a PDF into a new chat (attached image), or 2. Click ‘Import’ in the sidebar, and drag a PDF in there

Flowcharts are now known as ‘process maps’ throughout the platform. The reason for this change is that process maps better represent what BA Copilot enables you to manage. From day 1, we’ve been…

You can now create flowcharts independent of chats. Example use cases: 1. Consultant creates a chat with a flowchart. 2. Consultant refines flowchart. 3. Consultant clicks ‘copy flowchart’ to make an…

You can now invite collaborators to spaces within your organizations. This is useful for consultancies who want to assign consultants to different clients. See the image above. The existing ‘viewer’…

We also fixed a bug where flowcharts weren’t generating with this model.

Our latest release transforms how consultants manage process maps for clients. What's new: 🏢 Organizations — Separate areas for each client or company. Examples: 'Walmart', 'Citibank', 'National…

📌 and Folder functionality still works. This was purely an aesthetic improvement.

When you edit a diagram manually, it will be saved as its own version. This is useful for when you want to know what changes the AI made vs you made manually.

You can now draw a flowchart manually if you’d prefer.

When asking the AI something like ‘where are the process bottlenecks here?’, the AI would create a new flowchart. Obviously, the user actually expected a text answer. Now, it will give a text answer…

We've added an AI assistant and help center. This lets you ask targeted questions like 'how do I create a flowchart from an image of a whiteboard?'. Access it here or from the sidebar:

Occasionally when signing in no chat would load, and a message ‘chat not found’ would display. This is now fixed.

The quality of flowchart generations can decrease if the ‘context window’ gets too big. The ‘context window’ is the amount of messages and flowcharts in the current chat. Often, you will only care…

Previously if you were editing a flowchart with keyboard shortcuts, they could lose focus. For example, if you had an element selected and held the down key, then it might move down (correctly) for 5…

Previously, the zoom on trackpad was too sensitive. This meant it would zoom in and out much more than you typically wanted. We’ve now made it less sensitive.

You can now get BA Copilot for $7 a month, rather than $10, when you subscribe annually. If you’re already on a monthly plan, the amount left for the given month will be refunded when you upgrade.…

We’ve moved the main navigation to the bottom, so it’s easier to reach on mobile. We’ve also added ‘chat’ and ‘flowchart’ tabs at the bottom (above the main navigation).

You can now rename your chat conversations by simply clicking on any chat title in the sidebar. This makes it much easier to organize and find your process diagrams later, especially when working on…

When you upload an image, we now offer to insert a specialized prompt template to help the AI better understand your image. This optional template helps ensure the AI captures key details from your…

We've added 🟪 to prompt templates as placeholders for you to optionally replace with more detail. This is useful when you want to provide more structured input to BA Copilot. But BA Copilot will…

You can now iterate on diagrams with more precise edits. Previously, a small change such as ‘add a gateway’ could result in a diagram with the added gateway, but also other different elements. Now,…

You can now search chats with a keyboard shortcut. Just use the appropriate one for your device: Windows - Ctrl + K macOS - Cmd + K

You can now enable multi-factor authentication. This increases the security of your account, by requiring a TOTP from an authenticator app, in addition to your main log-in method. For example, you…

We’re now trading as BA Copilot Ltd. This allows us to better deliver on our global plans. Your service won’t change. As always, if you do not agree with the updated terms, then you have the right to…

Previously, the menu would take the entire screen. This was confusing to some of you, because it wasn’t clear that it was a menu, or how to get rid of it. Now, the menu only takes 80% of the width of…

Previously, when you sent a message, it showed on the bottom of the chat area, which meant the AI reply would stream in below where you could see. This meant that you needed to scroll down to see it.…

You can view them at: https://ba-copilot.com/terms https://ba-copilot.com/privacy

We’ve created a new ‘Plus’ AI model. This model can create larger diagrams, with less errors. It takes 2-4 minutes to generate diagram options. Each generation of 3 diagram options counts as 1…

We want to release experimental features to you early, so we can refine them with you. To enable this, we’ve added the ability for you to opt-in and out of different labs features.

This was called ‘Use prompt’ before. We felt ‘Insert template’ made more sense.

We’ve added a ‘new’ label to the Flowcharts page, which we redesigned recently. We’ll use this ‘new’ label throughout the platform as we add new features. This should make it easier for you to…

We’ve added this change log, so that we can update you on new features, fixes etc. each time you log in. You can also access it by clicking ‘Changelog’ in the left sidebar, near the bottom.
