Released June 4, 2026.

## Chat and Collaboration

- **STAIR Chat:** An integrated conversational interface supports direct agent interaction, file uploads, and switching between agents within a conversation, with responses attributed to the relevant agent.

## Agents and Automation

- **Agent organization and configuration:** Agents can be categorized with tags and assigned owners. Tool search simplifies agent and toolset configuration.
- **Dependency visibility:** Agents affected by changes to the availability of tools, subagents, or models are highlighted for review.

## Platform Administration

- **Usage analytics:** Metrics provide visibility into usage and performance across agents, toolsets, connected applications, and models.
- **Model validation:** Administrators can test model connections directly within the platform.

## FAQ

### What is new in STAIR 1.2.0?

STAIR 1.2.0 introduces STAIR Chat, where users talk to agents directly, upload files and switch agents within one chat. It also adds agent tags, ownership management and usage metrics.

### Which users are sent to STAIR Chat?

Since STAIR 1.2.0, users who have no platform roles are redirected to STAIR Chat instead of the STAIR console.

### Why is an agent highlighted in STAIR 1.2.0?

An agent is highlighted when a toolset, tool, sub-agent or model it uses is no longer available, so the agent needs attention.
