Ayfie launches a major upgrade of its AI Assistant - delivering powerful new features

Oslo, 22 September 2026 - Ayfie announces a major upgrade of its AI Assistant,
the out-of-the-box frontend of the Ayfie AI platform. This is a significant step
up from the existing assistant, delivering redesigned user experience,
substantially higher performance, and a broad set of new capabilities - all
designed to bring the full power of the Ayfie platform to every user.

Ayfie Assistant is the entry point through which entire organizations interact
with their corporate data in real time. With this upgrade, it becomes
substantially faster, easier to use, and more capable - while remaining tightly
integrated with the rest of the Ayfie platform, including Ayfie Index, Ayfie
Make, and the Ayfie MCP Gateway. Importantly, while Ayfie Assistant serves as
the frontend to the Ayfie platform, it also stands on its own. It can be used as
a standalone Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solution in its own right, and
it can then be connected to the wider platform whenever an organization is ready
to expand its capabilities.

A New, More Intuitive Experience
The upgrade introduces a completely redesigned and more intuitive user
interface, making it faster for teams to find answers, work with documents, and
get results. Alongside the redesign comes significantly better performance
across all fronts, including lightning-fast upload and conversion of documents
so users can start working with their content almost immediately.

More Sources, Out of the Box
Ayfie Assistant now ships with many more out-of-the-box source connectors,
giving users direct access to the systems and data they already rely on. This
deepens the platform's integration story: combined with Ayfie Index - the
platform's search-optimized "data lake", which can connect to virtually any data
source and pre-indexes data to deliver lightning-fast search without placing
load on production environments - and the Ayfie MCP Gateway, users can reach the
right information wherever it lives. The upgrade also introduces a completely
new built-in MCP Marketplace, which provides a full overview and easier adoption
of pre-built connectors, with all of Ayfie's security protocols fully
integrated.

Create, Edit and Export Documents
Beyond retrieval and chat, users can now create, work with, and edit documents
directly in the assistant, then download and export their results - turning
Ayfie Assistant from a question-and-answer tool into a productive workspace for
everyday tasks. A brand-new Artifacts tool takes document creation to a whole
new level, allowing users to instantly create, live-edit, and manage multiple
versions of documents directly within the solution. In addition, new
multi-format export means results can be extracted in a variety of formats
depending on the need, including PowerPoint presentations, Word documents, and
Excel (XLSX) files.

Audio Transcription, Image Analysis and Image Generation
The upgrade expands the assistant's multimodal capabilities, enabling teams to
work across text, audio, and visual content in a single environment. A new audio
transcription feature enables direct transcription of audio files, and image
analysis and image generation have both been significantly enhanced.

Choose the Right Agent for the Task
A brand-new agent selection menu lets users pick the right assistant and chatbot
for the job. This ties Ayfie Assistant directly to Ayfie Make, the platform's
enterprise agent and flow builder, allowing specialized agents and automated
workflows to be deployed through the same familiar frontend.

Improved Workspaces
Workspaces functionality has been improved, giving teams a better environment
for collaboration and for organizing their work with corporate data.

Quote
"This major upgrade transforms Ayfie Assistant from a standard retrieval tool
into a comprehensive, multimodal workspace. By seamlessly connecting our
frontend with Ayfie Index and Ayfie Make, we are making complex enterprise AI
architecture easily accessible to every employee in an organization, driving
both productivity and data security," says Herman Sjøberg, CEO of Ayfie.

Availability and Upgrade Path
The upgrade is available today, and existing customers can move to the new
experience with ease as Ayfie begins a gradual rollout. Customers on the SaaS
solution will receive a message in their existing assistant explaining how to
upgrade, while customers who have installed Ayfie in their own tenant will be
contacted directly by Ayfie to arrange the upgrade.

Part of One Integrated AI Platform
This upgrade of Ayfie Assistant strengthens Ayfie's AI platform capabilities
alongside the market-leading Enterprise Search enabled Retrieval Augmented
Generation solution (ES-RAG), Ayfie Index, the Ayfie Model Context Protocol
(MCP) Gateway, and Ayfie Make. While this release represents an important
milestone for Ayfie's software portfolio, it is not expected to have a material
impact on the company's revenues for the current quarter.
