1. Release Summary
ARIES™ – AI Digital Assistant
Meet ARIES™, the all-new AI Digital Assistant in TeamConnect 8.0 – transforming how users explore data and make decisions. With natural language queries, ARIES™ empowers you to ask questions conversationally, uncover insights instantly, and eliminate the hassle of manual reporting.
Note: In TeamConnect versions 6.3.3 through 7.2, ARIES™ was available as a static window accessed from the menu bar. In version 8.0 and later, ARIES™ now opens as a floating pop-out window, allowing users to view insights and interact with data without navigating away from their current page.
2. System Requirements
To install ARIES™ 2.0 , ensure that your TeamConnect Enterprise version is 8.0 PB1 or above.
Note: A dependency fix for ARIES™ 2.0 will be resolved in TeamConnect Enterprise 8.0 PB1 release, planned for December 2025.

4. Key Enhancements
The ARIES™ tool has been transitioned from a static tab-based interface to a dynamic widget accessible via the top navigation bar. This change simplifies access and aligns with modern UI patterns.
- Widget Launch and controls: Clicking the Widgets icon reveals the ARIES™ tool as an option, opens a popup chatbox at the bottom of the TeamConnect window. The widget includes a close button to remove it from view and pop-out button to launch the widget in a separate window.
- Session Persistence: If the widget is closed and reopened, it restores the previous chat history. And the widget remains open across page navigations within TeamConnect.
- Pop-Out Behavior: When popped out, the widget disappears from the main TeamConnect window and opens in a separate browser window. And users can continue navigating TeamConnect without affecting the functionality of the popped-out chat.
- Single Instance Enforcement: If ARIES™ is already popped out, attempting to open it again from the main window will not trigger any action, ensuring a single active instance.
