Funktionen

Oxygen AI Positron for Desktop

• Extend AI Capabilities Using Skills - Added the ability to define and use skills (based on the Anthropic Agent Skills) to extend the AI agent's capabilities by creating reusable, specialized modules for specific tasks. You can use them for automating repetitive workflows, integrating with external tools and APIs, standardizing best practices, and enabling the assistant to handle domain-specific or proprietary processes. From simple utilities to complex integrations, skills let you customize the AI agent to match your unique business needs and accelerate productivity.
• Built-in AI Skills - Several built-in skills are now available to help when you want the LLM to:
  • Add review comments to your document.
  • Translate XML content into another language while preserving markup and technical elements.
  • Apply structured persona-based analysis to evaluate a task through multiple audience perspectives.
  • Get help with AI Positron features by automatically reading the user guide documentation.
• Claude Models with Adaptive Thinking - Two new Claude models are available: Claude Sonnet 4.6 Thinking and Claude Opus 4.6 Thinking. These models use adaptive thinking to automatically determine how much reasoning is needed for each request, spending more time thinking through complex problems while responding quickly to simpler queries. When using these models, the chat interface displays a collapsible summary of the model's thinking process in real time.
• Personas Chat Mode - You can now use the Personas AI chat mode to review a task from multiple audience perspectives and get a more balanced recommendation. If you do not specify personas, the agent automatically defines 2-4 relevant personas, analyzes the content from their perspectives, identifies conflicting viewpoints, and tries to reach a compromise before providing a final recommendation.
• Smarter AI Awareness of Changes in Your Working Context - When you continue a chat after changing the selected content or switching to a different file, the AI can now follow those context changes better and respond based on what you are currently working on. This helps reduce confusion in ongoing conversations and makes follow-up requests feel more accurate and natural.
• Binary Resource Insights - You can now ask the AI to analyze binary resources such as images, PDF, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files without first attaching them in the chat. This makes it easier to generate content based on files in a folder or validate whether referenced images fit the surrounding context.
• Context Window Size Indicator - A new indicator in the AI Positron footer gives you visibility into the model's context window size so you can understand how much context is available for your conversation. The indicator includes a breakdown of the total context window and how much of that context is currently in use.
• Attach Excel Documents - You can now attach Excel (XLSX) documents in the AI Positron chat view to provide additional context for your conversation with the AI.
• Analyze Referenced SVG Images - When using AI actions such as "Generate image alternate text" or interacting with the AI in the chat, the LLM is now given access to the referenced SVG images (in addition to JPEG and PNG images). This allows the AI to provide feedback based on the SVG image content.
• Review Changes Support for Copy/Move/Rename AI Operations - The Review Changes sandbox now tracks copy, move, and rename operations on files and folders performed by the AI. Each affected resource appears as a single entry in the Waiting for Review panel (even if the file was both modified and moved or renamed during the conversation), so you can clearly see what happened and accept or reject the changes. Rejected operations restore files and folders to their original state.
• Configure Reasoning Effort Level for Microsoft Azure Connections - For Microsoft Azure connections, you can now choose the default reasoning effort level (low, medium, or high) to use when executing actions or chat requests via the new Reasoning Effort parameter.
• Support for Claude Deployments in Microsoft Azure Connections - Claude (Anthropic) models hosted on Azure AI Foundry can now be used directly from your Microsoft Azure AI connections.
• New Gemini Models Available for Oxygen AI Positron Service - The Gemini 3 Flash, 3.1 Pro, and 3.1 Flash Lite models are now available in the list of models to choose from when using the Oxygen AI Positron Service.
• Define Multiple AI Connections in JSON Configuration Files - If you configure your AI services using a JSON configuration file, you can now define an array of multiple connections. This provides your users with the flexibility to choose their preferred AI service connection directly from the interface.
• Improved Tools Approval - When prompted to run potentially unsafe tools (for example, tools provided by Model Context Protocol integrations), you can now choose to always approve specific tools. The confirmation prompt no longer times out, preventing automatic cancellations. Additionally, the entire UI of the confirmation request has been redesigned to be more intuitive and easier to read.
• Model Context Protocol (MCP) Improvements - The Model Context Protocol (MCP) SDK has been updated to version 1.1.1. You can now use Oxygen editor variables for all parameter values in an AI Positron MCP configuration file to easily create dynamic and portable configurations. Additionally, you can specify the cwd (current working directory) property for local MCP connections to ensure your commands execute in the correct local context.
• Ask for Website Access - You are now asked directly in the chat view for permission if the LLM attempts to read content from any website. You can choose to always allow connections to a certain website host.

• Load Actions, Skills, and Project Context from Content Fusion Projects - If a Content Fusion project contains an ai-positron-actions folder in the project root (or in .contentfusion/ai-positron-actions), AI Positron automatically loads custom actions and skills from it. If the folder also contains an ai-context.md file, its contents are automatically used as the project context prompt for new chats. Updates to these resources are applied when you start a new chat.
