ImprovedPermit Assistant

Permit Assistant opens on a centered city-specific prompt

City chat links now open that city's assistant whether or not you're signed in, starting on one centered question, "What are you building?". Suggestions are the city's own curated questions plus "I'm not sure what permit I need", and the page drops the cycling multilingual placeholder and duplicate title.

FixedPre-Check

Daily limit on the PreCheck results chat

The chat on the PreCheck results page now follows the same per-user daily usage limit as every other chat, and shows a Chat paused notice instead of silently dropping a message. City staff accounts are no longer mistaken for applicants and keep Job Sites, Drive and the general chat.

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.
