Context Grounding is now GA

Context grounding is now generally available. Since the preview release in August, we have added numerous capabilities for enhanced GenAI experiences. Read all about it in the Automation Cloud Release Notes guide.

In the UiPath GenAI Activities, the Context Grounding GA release brings the following updates:

• The Update Context Grounding Index activity replaces the Index and Ingest activity. Use the new activity to perform data sync operations with the index and the data source. We've removed the capability to create and delete indexes, which you can now do from the AI Trust Layer panel in Automation Cloud. Existing workflows using Index and Ingest will continue to work momentarily. However, we strongly recommend you start using the new UI experience in the AI Trust Layer.
• The Delete Index activity, previously available in Public Preview, has been removed from the UiPath GenAI Activities package. To delete indexes, use the AI Trust Layer panel.

New activities

This release includes three new activities: Update Context Grounding Index, Context Grounding Search, and Image Classification.

The Content Generation and Image Analysis activities now support the following models: Anthropic Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT-4o-2024-08-06. To use the Claude 3.5 Sonnet model, you must enable Anthropic from your Automation Ops AI Trust Layer policy. For more information, see Settings for AI Trust Layer policies.

We've also made minor changes in the following activities: Generate Email, Rewrite, Summarize, Detect Language, and Translate. Changes may include descriptions and default values of some fields, and the addition or removal of fields.
