Removals:
  • OpenAI’s and Microsoft Azure OpenAI’s gpt-5-chat-latest models have been removed. To avoid any issues with your AI Agent, migrate to a more modern model, for example, gpt-5.6-sol.
  • The Handover Settings section has been removed from the Endpoint settings. Consequently, the Legacy option was removed from the Handover Provider list in the Handover to Human Agent, Question, and Check Agent Availability Nodes. If you haven’t migrated to the new interface for handover providers, refer to the migration guide.
Deprecations:
  • Cognigy Serverless is required starting with Cognigy.AI 2026.21.0. The legacy Extension runtime for trusted and untrusted Extensions has been deprecated. The removal is planned for Cognigy.AI 2026.21.0.
    • For SaaS installations, Cognigy performs the migration and no action is required. If Cognigy hasn’t contacted you, your Extensions are already running on Cognigy Serverless.
    • For on-premises installations, install Cognigy Serverless before upgrading to Cognigy.AI 2026.21.0. Otherwise, all Extensions will stop working after the upgrade.
  • As of Cognigy.AI 2026.4.0, the Step and Message explorers in Insights are deprecated. These explorers will remain functional until their full removal in Cognigy.AI 2026.18.0.
