This week, our engineering team focused on expanding the infrastructure of SmythOS and refining the deployment flexibility of our chatbot embodiments. We have introduced a new tracking system for our upcoming AWS environment and resolved a critical blocker for users requiring unrestricted domain access for their agents.
New Features
AWS Version Progress Tracking for SmythOS We have implemented a dedicated progress tracking system for the AWS version of SmythOS. This internal and stakeholder-facing dashboard monitors development milestones and deployment status specifically for AWS-based environments.
How this helps you:
- Enhanced Visibility: Provides clear insight into development milestones for users awaiting AWS-native deployment.
- Improved Coordination: Streamlines project management to ensure a smoother transition to AWS infrastructure.
- Predictable Deployments: Allows for better planning by providing real-time updates on the progress of our cloud-specific infrastructure.
Bug Fixes
Chatbot Embodiment CORS Error with Empty Allowed Domains We resolved a bug where chatbot embodiments would fail to load if the “Allowed Domains” field was left empty. Previously, leaving this field blank—intended to allow universal domain access—triggered a CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) error in the browser console, preventing the widget from functioning. The system now correctly permits unrestricted access when no specific domains are listed.
How this helps you:
- Flexible Deployment: You can now deploy your chatbot widget to any website or testing environment without pre-configuring a whitelist of domains.
- Smoother User Experience: Eliminates technical blockers and console errors during the initial setup of new embodiments.
- Reduced Friction: Speeds up the QA and prototyping process by removing the need for constant domain configuration updates.
Try These Updates
- Deploy Your Chatbot: Test the unrestricted access by clearing the “Allowed Domains” field in your chatbot configuration and embedding the widget on a new site.
- Monitor Infrastructure Progress: Stay tuned for more updates as we hit new milestones in our AWS SmythOS deployment roadmap.
