## Build Automations by Chatting with AI

You can now build entire automations just by describing what you want. A new AI Analyst panel sits right in the automation editor — open it from the toolbar or from the "Create with AI" option on an empty canvas, and describe the workflow you need (e.g. "email me when visits cross 500 in 5 minutes"). The assistant asks clarifying questions only when it truly needs them, builds out the trigger/action graph live on your canvas, and every change lands in your undo stack, so you're always in control.

## Conditional Branching for Automations

Automations can now make decisions. A new Branch (Switch) node lets you route a workflow down different paths based on conditions you define — for example, sending one email when a metric crosses a threshold and a different one otherwise. Each branch can check multiple conditions (joined with AND/OR) and you can add a fallback path for anything that doesn't match.

## Smarter, More Reliable Ask AI

* **Ask AI now understands relative dates correctly.** Questions like "this month," "this week," or "YTD" are now resolved against today's actual date in your timezone, instead of being guessed — so you get the right data range every time.
* **Error messages are cleaner.** If something goes wrong while Ask AI is generating an answer, you'll now see a plain, helpful message instead of raw internal error text.
* A rare issue where some past search conversations failed to load has been fixed.

***

## Dashboard & Chart Fixes

* **Fixed drilling into date-grouped charts.** If you grouped a chart by month/week/day and then drilled into one of the bars, the drill-down previously came back empty. Drilling into a grouped bucket now correctly returns the underlying rows for that period.
* Fixed several issues with decimal and number formatting in charts.
* Fixed a recurring timestamp display issue across widgets.
* Fixed a table pagination issue.

***

## Database & Query Builder

* **Materialized views on Postgres now show their schema correctly**, so dashboards built on top of materialized views work as expected instead of showing empty fields.
* Improved reliability when reading from Postgres read replicas under heavy replication load — transient read conflicts are now retried automatically instead of failing the query.
* **MongoDB support in the AI Query Builder**: the AI can now write and validate real MongoDB aggregation pipelines (not just simple queries) for your Mongo data sources, and Mongo queries containing `$`-operators no longer get corrupted.

***

## Automation Reliability Improvements

* PDF and PowerPoint reports generated by automations are now hosted on Supaboard's own storage instead of a temporary third-party link, so exported files won't expire.
* Automated emails now show your workspace name in the header instead of always saying "Supaboard."
* Fixed cases where automation steps using upstream data (query results, AI answers) in an email body or AI insight step could silently send blank content.
* Fixed automations timing out when an early step in a run was slow, even though the step you were testing was fine on its own.
