Ask about ArkCloud, and a conversation worth having

Newer: 7 October 2026 · Older: 5 October 2026

The public assistant

  • An assistant on the marketing and documentation sites that answers questions about ArkCloud from the published documentation. It runs without an account and stores nothing from the conversation.145e404a
  • It is built with guards rather than good intentions: near-verbatim quoting is repaired, numbers are cited rather than restated, retrieval is scoped to the product being asked about, and questions about integrations are answered from the integration registry - so it cannot offer a connection the product does not have.38dc9f1b
  • Long questions are given 45 seconds and a retry at 55, and the panel reports that it is working rather than appearing to have stopped.38dc9f1b

Conversation

  • Greetings, thanks, follow-up questions, suggested next questions and a typing indicator across the site assistant, the in-application assistant and the Clinical Brain, so the three behave like one product rather than three answer boxes.183b1810

Dependencies and operations

  • The image-processing library was moved to a patched version for a published denial-of-service advisory (GHSA-wq5f-xc86-pv6w).a236fabd
  • An administration console for ArkCloud's own platform-operations accounts, restricted to two named accounts and reachable only after two-step verification.3057f053
