Our team has been developing exciting new features for you. Many of them are created by our customers in the Orchidea Roadmap co-development. Here's what's new:
- See similar proposals instantly
- Develop your existing proposals with AI
- New workspace settings icon location
- Challenge phase auto-complete
- Summary email to assigned managers
- Advancements in AI-powered translations
See similar proposals instantly
|
The new Relations widget immediately displays similar proposals in the Manage panel when you open a proposal:
- Relations to other proposals
- Proposal hashtags
- Similar proposals detected by the similarity algorithm
Learn how to add the widget to your channel
Similarity algorithm is available on Professional and Enterprise plans.
|
Develop your existing proposals with AI **
|
We have launched Chat with AI, which was selected for development in the Orchidea Roadmap co-development this spring.
With Chat with AI you can
- ask AI to search existing proposals
- ask AI to search similar proposals
- further develop and combine elements of the proposals
AI chat is disabled by default in the workspace. You can enable it by navigating to Permissions in the workspace settings.
Explore the full potential of Chat with AI in our knowledge base article.

New workspace settings icon location
|
We have relocated the cogwheel icon, which is used to access workspace settings. Previously, the icon was located in the top navigation bar. Moving forward, you can find it in the user profile menu. This change is intended to streamline the top navigation and make space for the Chat with AI icon.
|
Challenge phase auto-complete
|
The challenge owner can now set the challenge to progress to the next phase automatically. Auto-complete is an alternative to manual completion, where the next phase does not start until the challenge owner completes the previous phase.
Learn more in the Orchidea knowledge base.
|
Summary email to assigned managers **
|
All channel managers with assigned proposals start receiving a summary email. The email contains
- assigned proposals by channel
- days since proposal creation and last update
- number of pending and completed tasks
Orchidea sends the email every two weeks. Managers can change the sending frequency or cancel sending in their profile.
This idea is from the Orchidea Roadmap co-development.

Advancements in AI-powered translations
|
AI translations have the following new enhancements:
- AI translations are indicated with an icon, and you can compare the translation to the original by clicking the icon
- Channel owners can select languages to be translated automatically
AI translation is available as a paid add-on feature for the Professional and Enterprise plans.
