IAPM Desktop Release Notes¶

Version History¶

1.10.x - Upcoming¶

Introduction:

This release marks a major milestone for Immersive APM with the debut of the AI Assistant, our first integrated GPT-powered assistant. Users can now interact with their telemetry data using natural language, via chat or voice, to explore performance metrics, investigate anomalies, and generate insights without writing a single query.

Also introduced is experimental support for macOS, allowing developers and analysts on Apple Silicon devices to begin testing Immersive APM in native environments. While not yet feature-complete, this lays the groundwork for full cross-platform parity in future releases.

New Features:

AI Assistant (Tessa): Chat and voice-driven assistant for root cause analysis, performance exploration, and guided troubleshooting using natural language.
- Streaming speech with smart chunking and audio prefetching.
- Natural conversation flow with hybrid turn detection.
- /mute, /unmute, and /listen voice toggle commands.
- Press Escape to interrupt speech without losing your prompt queue.
- Location-aware context - Tessa knows which room you're in and adapts her responses.
- Session persistence - chat history is saved and restored across sessions.
- Built-in help section for onboarding new users.
Diagnostics Room: Immersive trace visualization environment for exploring spans and logs in 3D space with proper time-scale layouts.
Energy System: Energy bar showing AI assistant usage with tier-aware capability levels.
Grid Picker Redesign: Card-based grid selection UI replacing the previous two-dropdown flow.
- Demo grid support for exploring the product without live data.
ProTips Guidance System: Context-aware tooltips with auto-hide and configurable display settings.
WhereAmI Wayfinding Display: On-screen indicator showing your current room and location.
Water Environment: Swimming mechanics for enhanced world exploration.
