Hello everyone,
We are proud to announce the immediate availability of the *Oxygen AI
Positron 8.1* plugins for all major Oxygen XML suite products, including
Oxygen XML Editor, Author, Developer (desktop and Eclipse
distributions), Oxygen JSON Editor, Oxygen XML Web Author, and Oxygen
Content Fusion.
This update transforms XML authoring from a manual task into an
orchestrated, agentic experience, integrating OpenAI’s most advanced
models and a sophisticated new "Planner" mode designed to handle
complex, project-wide transformations.
As AI moves from simple chat prompts to autonomous execution, Oxygen AI
Positron 8.1 ensures that technical communicators and developers stay
ahead of the curve with improved security, lower costs, and
unprecedented flexibility.
****************************************
*New in Oxygen AI Positron 8.1*
****************************************
* *Next-Generation Intelligence with GPT-5.2*
The 8.1 release marks the integration of *OpenAI’s GPT-5.2 and GPT-5.2
Thinking* models, delivering state-of-the-art AI capabilities for
complex, multi-step agentic tasks. To maintain a modern ecosystem,
support for legacy models like GPT-4 has been retired in favor of these
more intelligent alternatives.
* *The "Planner": Your New AI Project Manager*
The standout feature of version 8.1 is the *Planner Chat Mode*. Designed
for resource-intensive, project-wide operations, such as converting all
cross-references across a DITA map or translating an entire folder, the
Planner does more than just answer questions. It explores the project,
proposes a comprehensive multi-step plan, and, upon user approval,
delegates tasks to specialized AI agents. This "agentic" approach
bypasses traditional LLM context limits, allowing for massive changes
without losing oversight.
* *Sensitive Data Masking*
Recognizing the importance of data privacy, Oxygen AI Positron 8.1
introduces built-in *Sensitive Data Masking*.
- *Automatic Protection*: The system identifies and masks Personal
Identifiable Information (email addresses, API keys, phone numbers)
before requests reach the LLM. Customizable masking patterns are
available for additional data types.
- *Seamless Restoration*: Masked data is automatically restored in
the AI's response, ensuring the final XML content remains accurate and
secure.
* *Important Enhancements*
- *Optimized Efficiency*: Prompt engineering improvements have
significantly reduced token consumption, lowering the cost per operation
for high-volume users.
- *Customizable AI Tools*: New tools selector to enable or disable
specific AI tools for each chat mode, support for creating custom chat
modes, and actions with vision support for image analysis, allow
tailoring the AI behavior to specific requirements.
- *Advanced Document Handling*: Attached PDF and Word documents now
preserve their internal structure (headings, tables, and styles), making
document conversion and analysis more precise than ever.
- *Integrated Review Experience*: Review and manage AI-modified files
directly in the chat, enabling surgical precision when accepting changes.
- *Expanded Toolset*: New tools, such as the ones for command-line
operations, resource management (copy/move/rename), and directory
listing give the AI more "hands" to accomplish complex tasks.
