ImprovedPre-Check

Focused PreCheck accounts and slow-run notices

Applicants with only city-paid PreChecks now see just Projects and their city's Ask AI assistant, without Job Sites or Drive. If a run is still going at 90 minutes, the applicant gets one email saying results are taking longer than usual and will arrive by email.

NewDevelopers & MCP

Ask AI available to agents over MCP

Connected agents can now ask CrossBeam's Ask AI through the MCP server, using the same engine and tools as the web chat, and follow up by conversation ID without resending the transcript. Each request runs with the signed-in user's own permissions, and long web conversations now keep every turn in history.

FixedPermit Assistant

Correct publish dates for Laguna Beach applications

Ask AI now gives the City's own publish dates for the replaced Laguna Beach SB 9, ADU and CUP applications, rather than the date CrossBeam last checked the City website.
