Product Updates

What's new in Knest in the last 6 months

March 2026

  • Project Home page: new dashboard landing page with a getting-started checklist for new projects and a quick overview of stats, escalated conversations, and recent activity for active ones
  • Live presence indicators: see a green "Customer online" dot in the dashboard when a visitor has the chat open, and visitors see "We are online" when an agent is watching
  • Human takeover caption: visitors now see a friendly message letting them know a human agent will respond when AI hands off the conversation
  • Email notifications: get notified in your inbox when visitors send messages, and reply directly from email to continue the conversation
  • AI-driven escalation to human agents: when the bot can't answer, it automatically offers to connect users with a human and collects their email — enable it per project in Tuning
  • Identify your users: pass user attributes to the chat widget to track who's chatting, deduplicate across devices, and see names and emails in the dashboard
  • File attachments in chat: share images and documents directly in conversations — works for both widget visitors and human agents
  • Chat history preserved on refresh: your conversation is automatically restored when you reload the page
  • Human agent takeover: step into any conversation directly from the dashboard and reply in real-time
