🏦 Banking & Finance Automation: Native Mercury Integration

Financial workflows require up-to-date ledger visibility and flexible tooling. In v1.104.0, Kanvas connects agent operations directly with business banking:

• Daily Mercury Bank Synchronization: Scheduled daily syncs ingest transactions, account balances, and payment statuses directly into Kanvas, giving finance agents live visibility into cashflow.
• Decoupled Financial Tooling: Quote generation, billing, and invoicing capabilities have been refactored into modular, decoupled tools. Agents across departments—from sales and support to specialized AP/AR bots—can now invoke quoting and billing capabilities without monolithic dependencies.

📣 Scalable Customer Outreach: People & Lead Campaigns

Modern customer engagement requires coordinated messaging across leads and contacts. Kanvas v1.104.0 introduces robust Campaign capabilities for People and Leads:

• Templated Message Broadcasts: Teams and agents can run structured outreach campaigns using standardized message templates.
• Rich Attachments: Campaign messages now support document and media attachments, making them ideal for onboarding collateral, proposals, brochures, and automated follow-ups.
• Integrated CRM Workflows: Campaigns seamlessly integrate with existing lead scoring, stages, and agent response rules.

🛡️ Interactive Agent Approvals: Human-in-the-Loop Artifacts

Autonomous agents operate best when human operators can quickly evaluate and sign off on critical actions. Building on recent approval improvements, v1.104.0 introduces Approval Artifacts:

• Structured Review Cards: Rather than plain text prompts, agents now render interactive approval artifacts summarizing decisions, line items, and risk factors.
• Frictionless Governance: Operators can inspect, verify, and approve or reject actions directly within their communication channels (Kanvas UI and Slack) before agents execute downstream modifications.

📊 Commerce & Payment Intelligence

Understanding cash velocity and conversion requires granular order tracking. Kanvas v1.104.0 sharpens payment visibility across commerce pipelines:

• Payment Completion Timestamps: Orders now accurately record when payment transactions finalize, allowing reporting engines to analyze true order trends by payment date rather than just creation date.
• Agent Payment Statistics: Agents can query aggregate payment metrics and statistics to answer business intelligence queries in natural language.
• Deposit Payment Links: Customer engagement workflows can now dynamically generate and expose direct deposit payment links to customers, streamlining deposit collection during sales conversations.

⚡ Neuron AI Optimization & Expanded MCP Support

Following the landmark Neuron v4.1 runtime upgrade:

• Faster Agent Turn Latency: Continued fine-tuning across tool discovery, prompt preprocessing, and conversation compaction delivers even faster response times.
• Expanded Model Context Protocol (MCP): Broadened support for external MCP servers, enabling agents to tap into external enterprise databases and services seamlessly.
• Human-Consistent AI Assist: AI Assist email replies can now inherit and render the human teammate's authentic email signature, ensuring seamless continuity between human and AI team communication.
