Ctrl+K now searches everything your office holds, by name, by kind and by what a document says, and documents can be filtered by drawing number, revision, scale or the facts they state. Each document is read whole, and a project lists where its documents contradict each other or refer to one it does not hold. Sketches can be drawn in the chat and reworked by hand.

Your own AI assistant, such as Claude or Cursor, can now work in your workspace in your name and with your rights, and it asks before it changes anything. Setting up a project takes five short steps, and the Steckbrief shows how the Gebäudeklasse was worked out and which OIB-Richtlinien apply. Loose files can be sorted into folders in one go, and a document in the bin or the archive can be brought back.

Documents can now be reviewed together: set an Anmerkung on a page, give it a person and a date, discuss it in its thread, carry it over to the next revision, or export all of them as minutes. The Postfach shows who wrote, filters what waits on you and can notify your phone or computer. On a phone, a bar at the bottom reaches the main areas, and photos and dictation go straight into the chat.

You can now close a finished project, which keeps it searchable and read-only, and clear out the working copies, duplicates and temporary files Piloti proposes, deciding on each one yourself. Piloti draws on similar closed projects as precedents, and your office decides per folder which roles may read or edit it. Uploads are screened for IBANs and other listed terms before any model reads them, and each document keeps all its revisions in one entry you can compare.

Piloti can now search every file in a project for a word, name or number and list each place it appears, and it goes through all of a project's files, not only the first 50 or so names. Word, Excel and PowerPoint files open as a PDF preview, and pictures inside Word and PowerPoint files can be cited. A scanned PDF is now read word for word, up to 500 pages.

Answers now appear while Piloti writes them, and each reference becomes a clickable source once it is verified. Answers come structured as tables, numbered steps and tabs for the variants you compare, and they survive a dropped connection. Questions on garages and parking decks now find OIB-Richtlinie 2.2.

Questions about Austrian law are answered with citable paragraphs from the RIS, and an office can give Piloti standing instructions that apply to every question. Deep research and the Automation section are switched off for now, and an office that needs them can ask us to switch them on.

Every file now keeps its versions, and a version can be submitted for approval, approved and then published, with exactly one version published at a time. Piloti can write an Aktenvermerk, a Protokoll or a checklist as a draft and file it in the project when you ask, and nothing it writes is searchable until someone approves it. Usage and budgets are now shown in points instead of euros, so check your limits once.

Piloti can now look at your drawings as images when a question turns on what they show. References name the point of the Richtlinie as well as the page, and legal sources from the RIS open inside Piloti with the cited passage highlighted. Whole folders can be uploaded and matched against the project's existing folders.

Piloti now works properly on a phone. Answers can be downloaded as Word documents, and diagrams are real drawings. Excel, PowerPoint and CSV files can be uploaded, and answers cite the right sheet or slide.

Research reports are now filed in your project under Berichte, marked as written by Piloti. Project folders can be renamed, moved and deleted without losing documents, and Piloti knows which folder each one is in. This changelog started this week.
