This page outlines the updates included in the latest release of JQL Search Extensions (JSE).

Enhancements

AI Search better understands natural language requests

JQL Search Extensions AI Search now helps qualify the type of request you enter before it tries to generate the JQL. It recognizes when more information is needed, such as project keys or sprint names, and prompts you to clarify your request instead of generating incorrect queries.

AI Search also detects requests that can't be translated into JQL, such as reporting calculations or unrelated questions, and explains why those requests can't be processed. These can help you create more accurate queries and provide clearer guidance when a request requires additional information or isn't supported.

Overall, these improvements increase the accuracy of natural language to JQL conversion and provide a more consistent experience when AI Search interprets your requests.
