This month’s release includes updates to Laserfiche AI that let you search your repository in your own words through the Smart Chat interface and extract metadata from longer documents with increased Smart Fields page limits. Additional updates deliver more options for saving Office files, scheduling form submissions, and managing AI capabilities and account usage.

Explore what’s new in the latest Laserfiche Cloud release below!

 

1. Search your repository using natural language with Laserfiche AI Agents: Use everyday language to find the documents you need from across your repository. Open Smart Chat in Agent mode, describe what you’re looking for in your own words, and let Laserfiche AI surface the relevant documents. Open the full search results to see all matching documents and adjust the search filters to further refine your results as needed. Discover relevant entries beyond your current repository view, then ask follow-up questions or instruct Agents to take action directly from the search results. Watch our new video to see how it works in action.

 

2. Use Smart Fields to extract information from longer documents: By default, Smart Fields now extracts information from the first 50 pages of all documents, increasing coverage for image pages from the previous 10-page limit. Admins can also raise the limit to a maximum of 200 pages per document using a new setting in Repository Administration. Processing more than 50 pages may consume additional AI units per operation. These changes apply only to AI-assisted field extraction, not template or tag classification.  

 

3. New Laserfiche Office Integration Add-In: The new add-in lets you save Office files directly to your repository from the web versions of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, in addition to the desktop applications. You can also save documents currently stored in OneDrive directly to Laserfiche. The new add-in will be available on the Microsoft Marketplace soon.

 

4. Schedule when forms and surveys open for submissions: Process and survey designers can now set a start date and time for forms and surveys to begin accepting submissions, removing the need to open them manually at the scheduled time. Use the start date on its own or combine it with the existing end date to define a submission window. 

 

5. New administrator controls for Laserfiche AI in Process Automation: New settings in Account Administration let admins enable or disable AI-assisted form fill, AI Prompt Rule, and Smart Chat for workflow queries across their account. 

 

6. Email notifications for usage limits: Account administrators now receive email alerts when usage of AI units, API calls, or audio/video transcription minutes reaches 80%, 90%, and 100% of their plan limits. All account admins receive these notifications automatically, helping them anticipate approaching limits and know when to consider purchasing additional usage to support their team’s needs.
