Dawiso 2026.1 introduces Ask AI, an AI-powered search experience, along with OAuth support for MCP and new automation triggers and actions. This release also includes cross-application lineage support, a Markdown editing component, and improvements to relations, Word exports, package configuration, and advanced search.

New Features

Ask AI

Ask AI is a new AI-powered search feature that lets you find information across your Dawiso environment using natural language. Instead of building search queries manually, you can describe what you are looking for in plain language. Ask AI interprets your intent, searches across objects, attributes, and relations, and returns relevant results with context. Ask AI makes it faster to locate specific metadata, discover related objects, and get answers without navigating through multiple pages.

OAuth Support for MCP

Dawiso MCP now supports OAuth for faster and more secure authorization when setting up the connector in your environment. OAuth reduces the need for manual credential management and simplifies the setup process.

MCP requires a Corporate or higher Dawiso licence. On the LLM side, ChatGPT requires a paid plan, and Claude requires a Pro or Max subscription.

Automations

This release expands the automation engine with new triggers, actions, and filter options.

New triggers:

  • Concept created: Triggers when a new concept is created.
  • Automation finished: Triggers when another automation rule completes.
  • Object moved: Triggers on hierarchy changes when an object is moved.
  • Bulk operation done: Triggers after bulk changes in API tables, such as workflow state changes, user relation changes, relation changes, and attribute changes.

New actions:

New filter and stream options:

Improvements:

  • The Sync data action now allows the exclusion of specific attachment type categories. You can define these categories under packages configuration. For details, see Attachment Categories.

Markdown Support

A new Markdown component is available for creating and displaying rich, formatted content using Markdown syntax. The Markdown component exists alongside the rich-text editor. You can choose the editing experience that fits your workflow.

Relations

Linking objects within text attributes now automatically creates relations between the referenced objects. This also enables the Sync data action to synchronize in-text object hyperlinks.

Word Exports

Word export templates now support multiple table configurations within a single template. You can:

  • Export data from a single object type into multiple tables.
  • Export data from specific object types into different tables.
  • Export data from each object type into its own dedicated table.

Packages

Attachment Type Categories

You can now create attachment type categories and assign attachments to them. Attachment type categories are useful for organizing attachments and for controlling which attachments are included or excluded during sync operations. See Automations for details on excluding attachment categories from sync.

Forced Comments on Workflow State Change

Administrators can now require comments when changing an object’s workflow state. When enabled, users must provide a comment before the state transition completes.

Object Type Contributor Restrictions

A new object type setting prevents contributors from creating new objects. When this restriction is active, only admin and Space admin users can create objects of that type.

Optional Create as Concept

Object creation now includes a new concept option. You can create a new object and publish it directly, or optionally create a new anonymous concept instead.

UX/UI Enhancements

Advanced Search Improvements

Advanced search now displays the full path name and up to five lines of description for each search result. This provides more context and helps you identify the correct result faster.

When expanding a lineage view, a search bar now appears that lets you look up objects by incoming or outgoing direction. You can filter results to show only incoming or only outgoing objects, making it easier to trace specific paths in large lineage graphs.
