Export Slides as PDF

You can now export Orion’s generated slide decks as PDFs for fast sharing. The PDF format preserves fonts, colors, styling, and layout with a clean 16:9 aspect ratio, making it easy to share presentations across different platforms.

Improved PowerPoint Export

PowerPoint exports are now faster and more reliable, with better support for complex styling including custom fonts, gradients, and rich text formatting. All exported slides remain fully editable in PowerPoint so you can make adjustments after download.

Improvements

• Enhanced font rendering across different slide sizes and presentation types
• Improved background color extraction and styling preservation in exported files

Improved Memory Control in Deep Analysis

During deep analysis setup, you can now see the memories that influence the analysis instructions and insight report formatting.

Each memory displays with a delete option, allowing you to remove context that no longer applies to your analysis. When you remove a memory, Orion automatically updates your analysis instructions to reflect the change.

Data Processing Bug Fixes

A bug was identified that could cause SQL queries used in Deep Analysis to use unintended LIMIT clauses, ultimately restricting the data available for analysis.

This fix ensures unintentional LIMIT clauses are removed during Deep Analysis so that the full (applicable) dataset is loaded for accurate results.

Project Deletion Fixes

When you delete a project, all associated memories and user notifications are now properly removed from the system. Similarly, when a user is removed from a project, their analysis notifications for that project are automatically disassociated, preventing outdated notifications from appearing.

Improvements

• Internal bug fixes and system improvements

Interactive Clarifying Questions

Setting up comprehensive, high quality analyses is now faster and more intuitive with multiple-choice clarifying questions.

When Orion needs more information to scope your analysis, you'll see structured options (A/B/C/D style) that you can answer with a simple click, or provide your own custom response when needed. This streamlines the setup process and helps ensure your analysis is properly scoped from the start.

Data Scope Awareness Badges

SQL query results now display visual indicators when they contain data-limiting constraints like LIMIT clauses, date ranges, or sampling.

These badges appear in the query header and expand to show detailed constraint information, preventing you from misinterpreting partial results as complete datasets. For example, you'll immediately see if results are limited to 30 rows or filtered to a specific date range, helping you draw accurate conclusions from your data when Orion provides quick answers.

Snowflake Query Auto-Fix Support

SQL query validation and auto-fix functionality now works with Snowflake datasources, not just BigQuery. When a query returns zero rows, Orion can automatically suggest and apply fixes to help you get meaningful results.

Automatic SQL Query Recovery

Queries that return zero rows due to incorrect filter values now automatically recover. The system extracts the filter conditions from your query, looks up the actual values in your database, and intelligently rewrites the query with corrected values using fuzzy matching. This eliminates silent failures when filter values don't exactly match your data.

Insight Report Improvements

This release fixes a bug that occasionally removed mixed value columns in some report tables during the final validation and QA. Reports now load the correct tables even when your dataset contains tables with overlapping names or mixed value columns.

Improvements

• (Bug Fix) Footnote citations with numbered and bulleted lists now render correctly in report tooltips
• Insight reflection automation now only analyzes insights you have explicitly approved
• (Bug Fix) "Source" button in highlight tooltip now properly includes insight context when auto-sending messages

Multiple Datasource Instances Per Project

You can now connect multiple instances of the same datasource type or combine different data sources within a single project.

Configure separate production and development Snowflake environments, multiple Looker instances, or mix BigQuery with Snowflake to analyze data across your entire stack. Each instance gets a human-readable alias (like "Production Warehouse" or "Marketing Analytics") that appears in chat, making it clear which datasource you're working with at any time.

Orion will query and analyze across enabled data sources and surface any discrepancies or insights across your data infrastructure.

Slide Generation (Beta)

Generate presentation-ready slide decks directly from your insights. Simply ask Orion to create slides from an analysis, and it will produce an HTML slide deck with navigation controls and professional formatting. You can preview slides in-browser with fullscreen mode and export to PowerPoint format when ready to share.

White-Label Branding

Enterprise customers can now customize Orion with their company branding. Upload custom logos for light and dark modes, configure brand colors, and set company icons that appear throughout the interface and in PDF exports. Contact our team to enable white-label features for your organization.

Improvements

• Tools now group automatically when multiple tools run in sequence, reducing visual clutter in chat
• User profile avatars can now be uploaded and display throughout the interface with automatic fallback to initials
• BigQuery configuration now supports location specification for datasets outside the US region
• Insight retrieval tool displays metadata including title, creation date, creator, and direct links
• Sidebar maintains alphabetical project order with auto-scroll to active project instead of reordering
• Tool components maintain their expanded state during streaming responses
• Fixed scheduling reliability issues that caused errors when rapidly updating recurring analyses

Project Sharing with Role-Based Access

Projects are now private by default and can be shared with specific team members. When creating or managing projects, you can invite users and assign them roles—Admins have full control, Analysts can create and edit analyses, and Viewers have read-only access.

This gives you granular control over who can see and work with your data while maintaining security and proper access boundaries.

Intelligent Email Notifications

Recurring analyses now use leverage Orion's internal context and memory to determine when to notify you. The system analyzes each insight and only sends emails when something meaningful has changed, automatically suppressing notifications when results remain stable.

You'll see warnings before Orion decides to limit certain notifications, and each notification includes a summary explaining what changed, reducing inbox clutter while ensuring you never miss important updates.

These settings are configurable from the analysis scheduling controls.

Clone Projects

Create copies of existing projects with a single click from the project menu. You can optionally copy all members, files. and settings from the original project, making it easy to set up similar projects for different teams or use cases without manual configuration.

Improvements

• Chat deletion now requires confirmation to prevent accidental loss of conversations
• Insight version dropdown in chat lets you quickly switch between different analysis results
• Real-time activity window shows what's happening while analyses are running
• Failed suggested insights are hidden from the Recent Analysis tab for a cleaner interface
• Project duplication runs background imports for faster response times

Smart Filter for Recent Activity Tab

Your Recent Activity tab now prioritizes actively executing analyses, surfacing them to the top of your list for better visibility. Analyses are intelligently sorted by execution status first, then by most recent execution time, ensuring you always see what's currently running and what you've worked on most recently.

Improvements

• Fixed model availability issues for foundational AI models

Hide Source Citations in Insights

You can now control whether source citations appear in your insights at the project level. Access this new setting in your project's Insight Settings to toggle citation visibility on or off based on your team's preferences. This is particularly useful when sharing insights with stakeholders who prefer cleaner reports without technical attribution details.

Improved UI for Orion's Autonomous Analysis

Autonomous analyses (created and ran fully by Orion on it's own) now display a "Suggested" badge with an Orion avatar to distinguish them from manually created work.

Improvements

• Projects in the sidebar are now sorted alphabetically for easier navigation.
• Security patches applied across multiple system components
• Simplified assignment settings dialog by removing deprecated configuration options

Enhanced Scheduling System

Recurring analyses now use a more reliable scheduling system with more robust timezone support. This improvement addresses a bug where scheduled analyses would occasionally fail to run on the set schedule.

Looker "Always Filter" Rules

Enforce project-level data filters that automatically apply to all Looker queries (for Looker enabled projects only).

Admins can create rules like "always filter customer = Pepsi" to ensure that Orion only accesses authorized data without requiring users to specify filters manually.

Improvements

• Security patch applied to the memory system
• Chart visualizations flickering bug – charts no longer re-render while typing in chat
• Reduced background cleanup operations by 90%, resulting in faster response times
• Orphaned footnote markers no longer appear in final reports
• Database performance optimizations for better overall system responsiveness

Data Lineage Viewer

Understand exactly where your insights come from with the new lineage viewer. Track the complete data flow from your original datasource through analysis steps to final reports, with inline SQL and Python code formatting for technical transparency. This makes it easier to verify analytical work and understand the transformation steps behind every claim.

Ask Questions about Data Lineage in Chat

You can now get in-depth explanations on exactly how Orion extracted, analyzed, and derived the data presented in the final insight. Simply highlight a portion of text and click the "Source" button to get an answer in the chat, including the queries and code snippets used.

In-Product Changelog Notifications

Stay up to date with new features without leaving the product. Changelog notifications now appear directly in the interface when new updates are available, with persistent tracking so you won't see the same notification twice. Updates are managed centrally and display contextually based on where you are in the product.

Improvements

• Backend infrastructure now supports timezone-aware scheduled tasks with configurable cron expressions
• Unified multi-tenant identifier system for improved data organization
• Snowflake queries now include safer division handling and improved JSON field filtering

Shareable Chat Conversations

Share your chat conversations with teammates using shareable links. When someone opens your shared conversation, they can create their own copy and continue the analysis in a new direction—perfect for collaborative exploration where different team members want to investigate different angles.

Chat Interruption

Stop in-progress responses at any time and immediately send a new message. No more waiting for lengthy responses to complete when you realize you need to clarify or redirect your question.

Timezone-Aware Responses

Orion now understands your local time zone and uses it to provide more accurate guidance on data availability and temporal context. When you ask about "today's data" or "this week's metrics," responses now reflect what those time periods are relative to your timezone.

Improvements

• Snowflake datasource setup now supports private key file upload instead of copy-paste for easier configuration
• File selection dialogs now include a clear button to quickly remove selected files
• Enhanced data lineage tracking with new endpoints for viewing claim provenance
