Version 9.0.0 is the general availability of UnqorkAI, including the new AI features, Smart Components, an enhanced Creator experience, Bring Your Own Component, and Embedded UI. All existing platform capabilities carry forward without any migration required: module configuration, services, application management, and administration.
AI-powered capabilities, including the UnqorkAI Build Agent and Smart Components, require a separate agreement. Creators whose organizations have not yet activated AI capabilities have access to the improved Creator experience and all existing build capabilities. To learn more, contact your Unqork representative.
Updated Designer Experience
Version 9.0.0 introduces a rebuilt Unqork Designer with major upgrades to the tools Creators use most. The UI has been unified from workspace to canvas, with focused improvements to finding work, seeing what a module does, and debugging it.
A unified, streamlined UI. Every surface follows the same set of patterns: landing page, workspace, canvas, and settings.
A refreshed, more readable look. An updated color palette and a consistent icon set make dense configuration screens easier to scan. A full dark mode is available across the Designer.
Better performance. Load performance is improved across the entire Designer experience, from opening a workspace to switching between modules.
Navigation & Workspace
This release improves how Creators find, open, and navigate their work.
Global Search. Search carries its own controls, so Creators can filter and target results from the search bar without navigating to a separate screen. It reaches every workspace, application, workflow, module, and administration screen.
Workspace Selector. All information about a workspace is available in a single view with tabs. Creators switch between workspaces freely. The Designer saves what was open in each workspace and returns Creators to where they left off.
Explorer Panel. The Explorer panel organizes resources by type in the active workspace: applications, modules, and library elements each appear in their own section. It is accessible from any surface in the platform without leaving the current build context. Creators can add modules, data collections, and workflows to Favorites from the Explorer panel or their landing pages. Favorited items display in a Favorites section in the workspace switcher for quick access.
Tabs and grouping. Modules, workflows, and data collections open as tabs grouped by application. Tabs can be reordered, pinned, and closed in bulk. Pinned tabs reopen to their last state the next time the workspace is opened.
Module Builder
This release adds more ways to see what has been built and fewer interruptions while building.
Three views of every module. The same module, seen three ways, switched freely. Each view surfaces a different layer of insight, making complex configurations faster to understand and navigate.
UI View: The module rendered live, exactly as an end-user sees it, with logic running and data populating. Check the result without building a preview or leaving the Designer.
Logic View: Module logic drawn as a navigable graph instead of read as a list. Follow a chain end to end to see how each piece connects. Understanding an unfamiliar module no longer requires reading it line by line.
Config View: The component tree with settings for the selected component.
Component Auto Apply. Configuration changes apply as Creators work. Edit as many components as a change requires, check the result in UI View, and save once when everything is ready. Changed components are marked as work proceeds. The full set can be applied or discarded together from a bar at the bottom of Config View. Undo and redo cover the full component tree and are context-aware: pressing the shortcut inside a text field performs field-level undo instead of component-tree undo.
Keyboard shortcuts. A comprehensive shortcut set spans the Designer. Every shortcut is remappable, and the shortcuts most relevant to the active context stay visible at the bottom of the screen.
API Debugger (formerly the SSE Debugger). Test and debug from anywhere in the Module Builder, without navigating away. It now reaches every Unqork API, not only the Execute endpoint. When the call is a module execution, four dedicated debug views open alongside the response:
Event Log: Every step of the execution in order, with the full data behind each one, so what ran is never in question.
Data Changes: Every field the execution touched and the value it was set to, revealing exactly what changed, and when.
Timeline: The whole execution as a waterfall against a time axis, each step drawn to its real duration. Slow steps stand out immediately.
Execution Chain: The run drawn as a node graph of what triggered what. Execution sequence and trigger relationships are readable at a glance.
UnqorkAI Build Agent
Requires AI capabilities agreement. Contact an Unqork representative to learn about activating AI-powered features.
UnqorkAI Build Agent. Creators describe what they want to build in plain language. The Build Agent generates a structured plan before building the module. The plan displays which Smart Components it will add, including each component's label and Property ID. The review step gives Creators full visibility into what gets built before anything is created.
Auto-Test and Auto-Fix. After building, the Build Agent runs the module in UI View and saves a reusable test case. For API modules, the Agent tests using Server-Side Execution. With Auto-Fix enabled, the Agent diagnoses any failures, patches the module, and re-runs until the test passes. Tests accumulate across turns, so later changes are checked against earlier behavior.
Cross-module builds. The Build Agent reads and edits any module it can resolve from the active workspace, not only the module currently open. When it writes to a module a Creator has not explicitly opened, it asks for confirmation before proceeding.
Rollback. When the Build Agent makes changes, a checkpoint divider displays in the chat with a Rollback button. Selecting it rewinds to that checkpoint. The rewind covers all turns after that point and every module the Agent touched, including plans and modules created along the way. A confirmation dialog displays before the rollback runs. There is no redo after a rollback.
Agent responses. The Build Agent names the application, branch, module, or Smart Component it acted on, instead of a raw identifier.
Smart Components
Requires AI capabilities agreement. Contact an Unqork representative to learn about activating AI-powered features.
Smart Components. Smart Components are a rebuilt component model in UnqorkAI. Each Smart Component is a single definition; editing one propagates the change to every module using it on publish. Four types are available: Logic, UI, query, and Agentic. In 9.0.0, the Build Agent creates and modifies Smart Components.
Logic Smart Components. Logic Smart Components handle data processing, calculations, transformations, and conditional operations.
UI Smart Components. UI Smart Components are interface components built in the Smart Component Editor. Public Smart Components display in the component tray and can be placed in any module.
Query Smart Components. Creators describe their data requirements in plain language. The Build Agent creates a Query Smart Component that retrieves the specified . Query Smart Components are the recommended approach for data retrieval in new builds. The /getSubmissions API continues to work for existing applications. Express RBAC controls are available at the query level. For more information, see Query Smart Components.
Agentic Smart Components. Agentic Smart Components provide AI-powered in-app experiences. The Chat Agent Smart Component adds a conversational interface for end-users to query submission data, fill form fields, upload files, and download conversation transcripts. It is configured through the Build Agent, not the component settings panel. The AI Summarizer component condenses submissions, documents, or records into a concise summary written to a designated component in the module.
Smart Component scope. Smart Components are environment-wide, not scoped to individual applications. A public Smart Component is reusable across modules. A private Smart Component is single-use only. Making a component public is permanent.
Review Changes. Smart Component updates no longer block module saves. When a module holds a Smart Component whose published definition has changed, a badge marks the affected component. Creators can review the drift and accept the update when ready. The Review Changes action displays where the component is used and offers Publish Changes or Discard Changes. Previous saved versions are accessible in the History area if a rollback is needed.
Smart Component revisions. Smart Components track previous saves in the History area, which can be used for rollback. Smart Components do not support independent revision pinning. The current published definition is always what consuming modules use.
Smart Component and Theme promotion. Smart Components and Themes cannot be promoted through the UDLC Promotion Tool. To promote them between environments, use the Unqork application directly or the Smart Components Hub.
AI Components for Applications
Requires AI capabilities agreement. Contact an Unqork representative to learn about activating AI-powered features.
Customer-provided LLM credentials. Agentic Smart Components require customer-provided LLM credentials. Unqork does not provide LLM access. Supported vendors: Google Vertex AI, Amazon Bedrock, Microsoft Azure OpenAI, and Anthropic. Register credentials in LLM Credentials Administration before deploying Agentic Smart Components. Each environment must have at least one registered credential for AI features to function. LLM credential and configuration forms are available to all Creators with Designer access.
Markdown component. Renders formatted Markdown text on the module canvas. Use it to display static content or the output of the AI Summarizer component.
Platform
Embedded UI. Modules can now be embedded in external applications as web components or iFrames. This release includes an enhanced developer experience, support for both WebComponent and iFrame embed methods, module-to-module navigation, Unqork Workflow support, and out-of-the-box style compatibility for embedded deployments.
BYO. Creators with Administrator access can promote BYO bundles to upper environments from the Administration dashboard. The Promotions modal displays available target environments and a history of past promotions, including destination, timestamp, and who initiated each. Creators can now test BYO components locally using the new SDK without uploading to Unqork first. This release also introduces BYO Logic Components.
BI Connector End-of-Life. The legacy Connector for Business Intelligence reached end-of-life on September 1, 2026, driven by MongoDB's end-of-life timeline. Environments using the BI Connector must migrate to Snowflake Data Share. Contact a Customer Advocacy Manager to confirm the migration timeline.
