Helvia.ai Release 5.85.0

10 September 2025

1. Side Modal Node Editor — node editing moved from pop-up to side modal

Node editing now opens in a right-hand resizable side modal instead of a centered pop-up, giving you a less disruptive, more consistent editing experience across the Flow Editor. You can now keep the canvas and surrounding nodes in view while you edit, speed up iterative changes, and reduce context switching during complex flow design — ideal when tuning routing logic, adjusting conditions, or reviewing connected nodes while you update a node.

How it works:

Open the agent builder, select a node (or double-click it) and the node editor will slide in from the side. Make your changes and click Save (or Cancel to discard). All previous node edit features and validations remain the same, your agent flows continue to work without changes, and no data is lost during the transition.

2. Analytics Tags node renamed for clarity

The Analytics Tags node in the flow editor has been renamed to Tags, a shorter, clearer name that reflects the node’s broader role — tagging, routing, filtering and analytics — making it faster to find and easier to explain to stakeholders.

3. GPT-4.1 & GPT-4.1-mini — new options in LLM model dropdowns

Agent builders can now choose gpt-4.1 or gpt-4.1-mini anywhere the platform asks to pick an LLM (LLM nodes, session analysis, agent settings, etc.). This gives the option to quickly pick higher-capability models for complex tasks (gpt-4.1) or a lower-latency, cost-efficient option for high-volume/real-time uses (gpt-4.1-mini).

4. Preserve Knowledge Base connections during Backup & Restore

Backups now include a snapshot of every Knowledge Base (KB) connection in an Agent, and restores will reapply those exact connections so agents keep the same KB mappings after recovery or environment moves. This update preserves search/data sources and prevents broken agent behavior after restores — ideal for migrations, disaster recovery, or cloning environments for testing.

How it works:

Run your normal backup/restore workflow as before — KB connections are captured at backup time and reinstated at restore. If a KB from the backup no longer exists, the restore will skip that connection, and notify the administrators with this message: "The following Knowledge Bases referenced in the backup could not be restored because they no longer exist in the system: [list of missing KBs]."

5. Static Variables — isConstant respected during Replace Content to Agent

When you run Replace Content to Agent, static variables are handled according to their isConstant flag to avoid accidental overwrites or missing runtime values. Variables with isConstant = true are not passed to the Target Agent and remain untouched in the Target; variables with isConstant = false are included in the replace operation and will be applied to the Target Agent (any pre-existing entries for those variables will be updated/cleaned to match the source).

This update prevents secrets or environment-specific constants (API keys, tenant IDs) from being copied into other agents while allowing dynamic configuration (feature flags, non-sensitive defaults) to migrate reliably.

6. Enhanced Security - Account lockout after 10 failed logins

After 10 consecutive failed login attempts to the helvia.ai console, an account is now locked to prevent brute-force attacks. The failed-attempts counter resets on any successful login; if locked, users will see the error message: “Your account is locked. Contact Helvia Support to unlock it.” This update reduces account takeover risk, protects high-value and admin accounts, and supports compliance/regulatory security requirements.
