Added
Secrets manager added to Vork for pre-defining or updating existing credentials.
Introduced Reflections, allowing direct access to external data without routing it through AI. Reflections can still be made available to AI when required, and will eventually provide the data layer for Surfaces.
Added
Gifted Vork its organisational memory.
Until now, Vork had session memory. It could remember facts during a conversation, but everything it knew disappeared with the session.
Today that changed.
Skills can now build and consult persistent organisational knowledge.
Instead of repeatedly explaining how an organisation works, the organisation itself becomes teachable.
For example:
> Define in “purchase order rules” that every order must contain a valid contact email address.
From that point on, every Skill can retrieve and apply that knowledge.
Feels like a small feature.
Probably isn’t.
