ApprovalsNotificationsSecurity

Hardened Approval Workflows

Approval requests are now safer and easier to manage:
  • Sequential approver enforcement — When a policy specifies an ordered approver list, approvals must arrive in order. Out-of-order responses are rejected.
  • Role-based authorization — Action-token approvals from external channels (Slack, email, webhooks) are now subject to the same role checks as in-app approvals.
  • Encrypted notification secrets — Slack bot tokens, webhook secrets, and Telegram tokens are now encrypted at rest and redacted in API responses.
  • Idempotent payment requests — Send the same idempotencyKey twice and you’ll get the same payment back. Send a different payload with the same key and you’ll get a clear 409 Conflict.

  • Approval timeline with a visual connector, timestamps, and auto-expand for pending requests.
  • Policy cards include priority explanation tooltips so the evaluation order is always clear.
  • Cmd+K command palette for keyboard-driven navigation.
  • Mobile-responsive navigation with a slide-out drawer and hamburger menu across the dashboard, marketing site, and blog.
  • Clickable transaction and agent rows that link straight to the detail pages.
  • SpendChart now offers 24h / 7d / 30d / 90d range selectors.

AI AssistantUX

Improved AI Assistant Experience

The Conto AI Assistant got a major polish pass:
  • Mobile-friendly panel with full-width layout, slide animations, and an Escape-to-close shortcut.
  • Auto-focus on the input when the panel opens.
  • Keyboard shortcut badge (⌘J / CtrlJ) visible directly in the header.
  • Clearer error states with retry, dismiss, and high-contrast styling.
  • Improved confirmation cards with larger tap targets, friendly action names (“Delete Agent” instead of delete_agent), and an amber banner reminding you when a confirmation is pending.
  • Tool progress indicators now show green checkmarks on completion.

AI Assistant

Global AI Assistant

Conto now ships a global AI assistant accessible from any dashboard page via a slide-out sidebar (⌘J). The assistant supports 42 tools across 7 categories — read, agent, wallet, policy, counterparty, approval, and bulk operations — for full natural-language control of Conto.
  • 3-tier confirmation system for destructive, high-risk, and preview actions.
  • Streaming responses with structured preview cards and inline tool progress.
  • Persistent chat state across page navigations (last 50 messages persisted).
  • Role-aware — only OWNER, ADMIN, and MANAGER roles can execute write tools.
  • Rate limited to 30 requests/minute per user with abort handling.
See the AI Assistant overview and the tools reference for the full capability list.

AuthUX

Auth Form Improvements

  • Password visibility toggles on login, register, and reset password forms.
  • Real-time password strength indicator during registration.
  • Registration success banner when redirected from signup to login.
  • Lockout hints appear after 4+ consecutive failed attempts.
  • Browser autofill properly supported via autoComplete attributes.
  • Account lockout threshold raised from 5 to 10 attempts to reduce friction for legitimate users (rate limiting remains the primary defense).

Dashboard

Dashboard Design System Cleanup

Dashboard chrome has been simplified for a calmer, more intentional feel:
  • Sidebar navigation is now grouped into Operations, Intelligence, and Platform sections.
  • Policies moved under Operations for better discoverability.
  • Tabular numerics applied across all monetary displays for cleaner alignment.
  • Reduced motion: removed entrance staggers, hover-scale, and decorative animations.
