A big month for Teela --- exploratory analysis, data investigation, exports, and major security hardening.

Exploratory Data Analysis​

Ask Teela analytical questions like "Why is revenue down?" or "What's driving customer churn?" and get multi-step investigations with synthesized findings. Teela runs multiple queries, analyzes the results, and presents a clear narrative with supporting data and suggested follow-up questions.

Export Analysis Results​

Export exploratory analysis results as Excel workbooks (with summary and data tabs) or branded PDF reports --- directly from the chat.

Data Investigation​

Tell Teela when something looks wrong ("That's incorrect, invoice 50844 had 2 items sold") and it will investigate --- running verification queries and explaining what it finds. Training questions now return actionable suggestions based on your role.

Real-Time Pipeline Narration​

When Teela is working on your question, you'll see natural, descriptive progress updates about what it's doing --- understanding your question, searching your data, building the query --- instead of generic loading messages.

Thumbs Feedback Improvements​

Thumbs up and down buttons now animate with color feedback (green for up, red for down). Your feedback now directly helps improve Teela's future answers through an automated learning system where high-confidence improvements are applied automatically.

Personal Connections, Notes, and Nicknames​

  • Connect your own Google Sheets, Excel, or CSV files as personal data sources
  • Add plain-English notes about your data to help Teela understand your columns and abbreviations
  • Create personal nicknames to map your terminology to column names

Alias System Improvements​

  • See how often each alias is used and when it was last used
  • Get warnings when aliases point to tables that no longer exist
  • Conflicts are prevented during vocabulary quiz setup
  • Client admins can now access cleanup tools

Better Business Terminology Handling​

Training documentation (like "shipped = status IN (9,21,23,25)") is now more reliably applied during query generation. Your business rules and definitions are placed where they have the most impact on the AI.

Date Awareness​

All queries now understand date context --- if you ask about "last October" or "this quarter," Teela knows exactly what dates you mean.

Question Suggestions​

Teela now suggests questions you can ask, including exploratory "why" questions. Suggestions are validated to make sure they'll return useful results before being shown.

Security Hardening​

  • All training data stored in the vector database is now encrypted at rest
  • Login flow hardened with a safer authentication endpoint
  • Security response headers added across all pages (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options)
  • Magic link redirects validated against an allowlist
  • Password changes always require your current password
  • MySQL connections now verify SSL certificates by default
  • API error messages no longer expose internal details

Signup Notifications for Admins​

Admins now receive an email when new users sign up, showing their name, email, and how they signed up.

Improved Reliability​

  • Better handling of Azure Storage outages with clear error messages
  • Real-time notifications work reliably across multiple server instances
  • Smarter SQL safety checks --- functions like REPLACE() are no longer incorrectly blocked
  • AI-generated queries that hallucinate column names are now automatically corrected before reaching the database
