What's New
OpenAI-Compatible LLM Gateways
Click to view
This feature is early access. The configuration UX works, but still needs polish. Contact support@stackgen.com or your Customer Service Manager for enablement and guidance.
We've added support for OpenAI-compatible LLM gateways in Aiden, so you can route model traffic through a gateway that exposes multiple models behind one OpenAI-compatible API.
Previously, Aiden model setup did not include a path for OpenAI-compatible LLM routers or gateways. Now, you can add a gateway (for example OpenRouter), provide the gateway URL and API key, and select from the models that gateway returns.
Key Features
- OpenAI-Compatible Gateways - Connect any LLM gateway that exposes an OpenAI-compatible API.
- Model Discovery - After you save the connection, Aiden lists the models available from that gateway.
- Purpose-Based Model Selection - Choose different models for different purposes (for example tool calling vs general requests), including cheaper or specialized models where that fits the workload.
Current Constraints
- Early access. The setup and management UX still needs improvement.
- Available models and capabilities depend on the gateway you connect. Confirm tool calling and other requirements for your use case.
Why It Matters
Teams that already run an LLM gateway for cost control, model access, or approved provider lists can use that gateway with Aiden instead of wiring each model provider separately.
Aiden Alert Source Integrations
Click to view
We've expanded Aiden alert and observability integrations on the platform Integrations UX, including Aiden 2.0 availability for sources that were already familiar from earlier Aiden experiences.
Previously, some alert sources were available in earlier Aiden surfaces but were not fully unlocked on the current Integrations page. Now, Datadog and New Relic are available in Community Edition, Squadcast is available as an integration, and Dynatrace is available as an integration (Community Edition UI for Dynatrace is still pending).
Key Features
- Datadog - Available from Integrations on Aiden 2.0 for parity with earlier Datadog support.
- New Relic - Unlocked in the Community Edition Integrations UX.
- Squadcast - Available as an alert and incident integration.
- Dynatrace - Available as an integration. Community Edition UI enablement for Dynatrace is still pending.
Current Constraints
- Dynatrace is available as an integration, but it is not available in the Community Edition UI yet.
Why It Matters
SRE and ops teams can connect the alert sources they already use from the current Aiden Integrations page, with clearer Aiden 2.0 coverage for Datadog and related sources.
What's Enhanced
Persona Agent and Activities UX
Click to view
We've enhanced the Persona Agent management UX and the Activities experience in Aiden.
Previously, Persona Agents were shown mainly as tiles, and activity detail was harder to reach from conversation history. Now, agents appear in a table view with more detail and actions, and activities are easier to open from history, from a chat, and from the execution timeline.
Key Features
- Persona Agent Table View - Review agents in a table with more detail (including who created the agent) and clearer actions.
- Per-Agent Activity Detail - See activities for an agent, when to use them, tools in use, and related workflows.
- Conversation History Hover - Hover a chat in conversation history to preview related activities.
- In-Chat Activities - Open a chat to review each activity and its status, then jump into the execution timeline (graph view). Cost and replay behavior for those views is unchanged.
Why It Matters
It is easier to find the right agent, see what it ran, and inspect execution detail without leaving the chat and history flows you already use.
Agent Skills Creation UX
Click to view
We've enhanced the agent skills creation flow so you can create and edit skills from more entry points in the product.
Previously, skills were primarily imported from a source repository (GitHub, GitLab, or Azure DevOps). Now, you can generate a skill from a prompt, import from a local folder, or upload a skill file, then edit the skill in the same screen after generation or import completes.
Key Features
- Generate from Prompt - Enter a prompt and generate skill content from that description.
- Import from Folder - Import skill content from a local directory.
- Upload Skill File - Upload a skill file directly in the creation flow.
- In-Screen Editing - Edit the skill in the same screen after generation or import finishes.
- Existing Source Import - Continue importing skills from GitHub, GitLab, or Azure DevOps as before.
Why It Matters
You can create and refine agent skills from a prompt, a local folder, or a file, not only from a connected SCM repository.
What's Fixed
Aiden Policy Try Examples Evaluation
Click to view
We fixed an issue in Aiden policy testing where Try examples always returned a positive result for both allow and deny conditions.
Previously, running tests from the Try examples dropdown returned a positive outcome for both positive and negative cases. Allow and deny example evaluation now returns the correct result for the condition under test.
