Introduction
AI coaching avatars are at the heart of MaxGood.work’s latest feature launch, designed to streamline and enhance the coaching experience for both avatar owners and their users. In this post, we’re excited to introduce three major updates—our newest feature releases, key feature modifications, and server-side upgrades for improved system performance. Curious about other feature updates and improvements? Check out our previous posts on Improving Content Upload Experience for AI coaching avatar owners and MaxGood.work Terminology.
1. New Feature Launch For Better User Experience
1. Activity Status
- What it is: A new column in the Users table showing when each user last interacted with their avatar.
- Why it matters: Avatar owners and admins can now quickly identify Active versus Inactive user. This is displayed as “Last seen X days ago”—to better engage and retain their audience.
2. Search by User Name or Email
- What it is: A search filter in the administrator dashboard that lets avatar owners and admins find users by their name or email address.
- Why it matters: No more scrolling through long user lists—locate any user instantly and streamline your management workflow.
3. Direct Text Upload (Experimental)
- What it is: A new content-upload feature under the Expertise tab that accepts plain text (copy-and-paste) instead of files (PDF, PPT, ODT). Text chunks are automatically assigned to a title you create.
- Why it matters: Rapidly add and organize your knowledge resources without converting them into supported file formats.
2. Feature Modification
1. “Hide All Interactions” Call-to-Action
- What changed: The previous “Archive All Interactions” button has been renamed to “Hide All Interactions” and now includes a descriptive tooltip that clearly explains the effect of hiding past conversations.
2. Account Tab Layout & Usability
What changed: We’ve redesigned the Account tab for avatar owners and admins, improving navigation and clarity so you can manage your profile and settings with ease.
3. Server-Side Upgrades for Improved System Performance
- Response Quality & Hallucination Mitigation
Reduced the likelihood of avatars veering outside their personality settings or producing hallucinated responses. - Bug Fixes & Error-Handling Improvements
Addressed numerous edge cases and streamlined error messages for a smoother experience. - Codebase Enhancements
Extensive refactoring to boost performance, maintainability, readability, and security. - New & Improved APIs
• Content upload
• Organization types retrieval & management
• Image management for avatars - Database Migration
Transitioned prompts, organization types, complaints, email records, contact requests, footer data, and content titles from MongoDB to PostgreSQL for greater reliability and query performance.
Development Environment Optimizations
Upgraded settings and tooling to accelerate testing and deployment cycles.
What’s Next?
Stay tuned as we roll out even more safeguards—enhanced user settings for avatar switching, and a self-service onboarding flow for joining multiple avatars under one account.
