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
