# October 2025

*We're enhancing Dscout AI to be more intelligent and precise, while consistently preserving its trusted quality. Check out the newest AI features on your Dscout platform.*

## What's new?

* #### Explore your data, now chat with AI

  Interact directly with your mission data using natural language. Ask questions, spot trends, and test hypotheses in real time by [exploring your data](https://help.dscout.com/hc/en-us/articles/40736232050964). With full, source-backed context, finding insights feels more like discovery than drudgery.

* #### Refine your questions with built-in research expertise

  As you design your study, [refine your questions](https://help.dscout.com/hc/en-us/articles/41562608438548) gives real-time, research-informed feedback to help sharpen language, improve clarity, and ensure every question aligns with participant-centered best practices. It’s like having a research advisor in your workflow.

* #### Improve your responses with dynamic follow-ups

  Dscout AI now reviews talk out loud responses in usability missions and automatically generates [follow-up questions](https://help.dscout.com/hc/en-us/articles/41559884692628). That means richer, more actionable insights, without adding participant burden.

* #### Notable moments in interviews

  Replacing AI summaries in live interviews, [notable moments](https://help.dscout.com/hc/en-us/articles/36267937572500) now flag moments, emotions, and reactions in interviews. Dscout’s AI spots the moments that matter most, like when a participant hesitates, gets excited, or runs into friction. These insights make it easier to see what stood out and jump-start your storytelling.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.dscout.com/product-updates/2025/october-2025.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
