What does it do?
AI document Q&A answers questions from the files you share, with citations back to the source. This update made the chat available wherever content lives in Peony, on a single file, a web link or a channel, and kept each conversation so it can be picked up later.
Who is it for?
Admins checking their own room before sharing it, and visitors (when allowed) who want to find a number or clause without reading every page.
How does it work?
- Streaming answers with visible reasoning (February 20, 2026).
