🚀 Next Lab v2.7.0 is Live!

We’re excited to announce that Next Lab version 2.7.0 has officially been released!

🎉 What’s New in This Release?

🤖 AI Assistant in the Next Lab | Instigators Experience

You can now chat with an AI Assistant that helps you find the right drill—faster and smarter.

• Use natural language to describe your needs—no need to know drill names.
• The assistant uses RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) to search our 250+ drill database, surfacing the best-fit options for your situation.
• It can also help you design a full session tailored to a specific subject, problem area, or goal.

Whether you're working on a high-stakes innovation sprint or just looking for a warm-up drill, the AI Assistant has you covered.

📍 You’ll find it inside the Instigators experience. Give it a try and see how quickly it can spark your next session idea.

💬 AI Chat Histories in Instigators and Leaders

You can now view and revisit past chats with the AI Assistant in both Instigators and Leaders. No more losing context—pick up right where you left off.

🛠️ Bug Fixes

We’ve addressed a handful of bugs to make everything a bit smoother and faster.
