ROAD 26.08 is here!
ROAD 26.08 puts AI-driven content analysis under full cost control: set a daily LLM budget and ROAD holds work at that ceiling, with per-token, per-job cost visibility and roughly 50% savings from batch inference across AWS Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Vertex AI, Anthropic, OpenAI, and Mistral. The release also adds Component Reports, a drag-and-drop reporting designer for presentation-ready output without engineering, and self-generating documentation that ships inside every archive. The ROAD MCP server opens the platform to conversational assistants like Claude for workflow validation and log diagnosis, under the same role-based, auditable access as Governed AI Bridge. Platform coverage widens with Databricks, BigQuery, and Snowflake as both sources and targets, plus full SharePoint support for document libraries, OneDrive, Site Pages, and Events. Also new: managed encryption keys, Virtual Unique Keys for cleaner relationship modeling, a faster Application Retirement Purge, and a refreshed workflow designer. ROAD 26.08 is available now.
