    Version history

    Version 29.0.1 - June 2026
    • New:
      • AI‑powered enhancement to the Schedule Recurrence component that lets users create complex recurring schedules using natural language. Instead of manually configuring multiple recurrence fields, users can now simply describe their schedule in plain English, and the system automatically fills in the recurrence form for them.
      • This feature significantly reduces the time and effort required to set up recurring events, especially for complex or non‑standard recurrence patterns.
      • Creating recurring schedules—especially with complex rules—has traditionally been error‑prone and time‑consuming. This AI enhancement makes recurrence creation:
        • Faster – No need to understand or manually configure every recurrence rule
        • More intuitive – Users describe what they want in natural language
        • Less error‑prone – Structured validation ensures accuracy
        • More accessible – Ideal for both simple and advanced scheduling scenarios
      • This capability is a major productivity boost for teams that rely on recurring events such as meetings, shifts, reminders, and operational schedules.
      • Availability & Scope
        • Available as part of the Schedule Recurrence component
        • Integrated via the Recurrence Event generator AI platform skill
