New Features and Enhancements

Library Spotlight Search (Beta)
Introducing the Spotlight Search, a transformative tool designed to refine how you search across your library. This interface combines keyword, title, description, and chapter searches to immediately highlight the most relevant results. It also supports deep dives into content with the ability to view detailed search results or quickly navigate through simplified previews. It extends the library search capabilities to text within documents and folder titles, significantly enhancing the discoverability of your entire content library. As we refine this feature, anticipate even more powerful interactions, including direct engagement with Copilot within the search interface itself.

Instagram Integration

With our new Instagram Integration, you can now seamlessly import your Instagram content directly into Searchie. This powerful feature not only allows you to monetize your Instagram Reels through your online programs but also enables you to leverage our Copilot AI to generate dynamic descriptions, engaging social posts, and targeted email marketing copy. It unlocks the potential of past content, making it easily searchable and accessible to your audience, thus maximizing the utility of every reel you’ve created.

TikTok Integration

Amidst the uncertainty of social media restrictions, our TikTok Video Integration ensures that your content remains secure and accessible. By connecting TikTok with Searchie, you can back up your videos and use them to enrich the content experience in your Hubs. Additionally, Copilot can help repurpose this content to provide additional value to your audience, making your TikTok efforts go further.

Shareable Directory Filters

Our new Shareable Directory Filters offer a new way for your audience to interact with each other. After creating a custom filter, you can now generate a URL to share the filtered view anywhere—be it within your Hub, through marketing emails, or elsewhere. This feature is particularly valuable for promoting interaction within popular segments of your audience and will continue to evolve with more robust community features in the near future.


Bug Fixes

  • Blogger Sitemap Compatibility: Resolved an issue where certain sitemaps were not compatible with Wisdom plugins.

  • Hub Plan Visibility: Fixed a bug preventing Hub audience members from seeing segment-specific content after switching their plan via the Stripe Integration.

  • Stripe Integration Email Update: Corrected the access disruption that occurred when an audience member’s email address was changed in Searchie.

New Features and Enhancements

Copilot Feedback Loop
We've upgraded Copilot to include a user feedback loop, allowing you to submit feedback directly on Copilot responses.

It's a significant step forward in making Copilot an even more powerful tool for your content.

Wisdom Now References Sitemap URLs

When your plugin responds to a question using a sitemap as reference material, it will now display the URL of the reference in the "References" section. This small but mighty change will make pointing your audience to relevant information on your website a breeze. See the example below for how our Support Bot could send a visitor to the custom domain article in our help documentation by listing that article in the References at the bottom.
