Contify has redesigned how users interact with Ask Athena by introducing it as a unified AI interface accessible from the top navigation across the platform. Ask Athena is now available as a persistent interface, allowing users to generate summaries, ask questions, and derive insights without switching between modules.

Ask Athena now enables users to query AI across multiple types of platform content, including Newsfeed updates, Facts, and Insights.

Users can select relevant items and interact with Ask Athena to derive insights without leaving their workflow.

Users can select multiple updates (upto 25) from the Curated Newsfeed and interact with Ask Athena on that specific subset of content.

Once updates are selected, users can:

Ask Athena limits its analysis to only the selected updates, ensuring responses remain focused, contextual, and verifiable.

Users can also generate responses across the platform without selecting specific updates. In such cases, Ask Athena will respond based on the user’s existing focus areas.

Ask Athena can also be used to query published Facts and Insights within the platform. This allows users to explore deeper intelligence, ask follow-up questions, and derive additional context directly from curated knowledge assets.

To ensure reliability, Ask Athena is available only for published content, and will not be enabled for items that are pending review, incomplete, rejected, or unpublished.

Users can now generate summaries directly within the Ask Athena interface. After selecting updates from the Curated Newsfeed, users can quickly create AI-powered summaries without navigating to another module.

The interface supports template-driven summaries, allowing users to generate structured outputs using predefined templates.

In addition, users can write custom prompts to generate summaries tailored to their specific requirements.

This enables analysts to quickly create summaries while maintaining flexibility for more customized outputs when needed.

Users can also expand this modal into a full-page view by selecting the 'Expand to Full Screen' option.

Contify now automatically enables AI-powered sourcing for all companies in your tracking list. This ensures that relevant updates related to tracked companies are continuously discovered without requiring manual configuration.

AI sourcing is now automatically configured whenever a company is added to your tracking list. As soon as a new company is created on the platform, Contify generates the corresponding AI sourcing prompt and begins monitoring for relevant updates.

In addition, AI sourcing has been retroactively enabled for companies that were already present in tracking lists, ensuring consistent coverage across your entire monitored company set.

Contify has enhanced the search experience to make it faster and easier to locate the exact entity you want to search.

You can now use exact match search while searching for entities across the platform. By typing “=” before an entity’s name, the system will return only the exact match, helping you quickly locate it without scrolling through long lists of similar options.

On newsfeed, Users can click on Edit Update → Tags. They can use “=” to instantly filter and select the exact tag required for their story.

This feature is now also available in other modules such as Dashboards, Newsletter manager, Company management, Add Update, Taxonomy Manager and Sourcing Manager. This ensures a consistent and seamless experience for users, allowing them to be precise across every stage of their workflow.

Contify has enhanced the “Why Am I Seeing This?” functionality for updates in the Curated Newsfeed to provide greater visibility into how updates are sourced and classified.

Users can now view the tags applied to an update along with the reason those tags were applied. This provides clearer insight into the logic used by the platform to source a particular update in users’ newsfeed.

By displaying the tagging logic underneath, the platform makes it easier to understand how an update aligns with users’ configured taxonomy and monitoring criteria.

Contify now introduces the ability to bulk update the status of Facts and Insights within the Athena module, along with enhanced controls to update statuses individually. This provides greater flexibility in managing generated intelligence and keeping your workspace aligned with your business needs.

You can now update the status of multiple Facts and Insights simultaneously using bulk actions. In addition, individual status updates are now more accessible, enabling precise control when reviewing specific items.

This enhancement helps streamline review workflows and ensures only relevant intelligence remains active in your account.

Contify now enables users to provide feedback on responses generated by Ask Athena, helping improve response quality and ensure more accurate, business-relevant insights over time.

Users can now submit feedback directly on Ask Athena responses. This allows them to indicate whether a response was helpful or requires improvement, creating a continuous feedback loop that helps refine AI-generated outputs.

Contify now shows the status of Global Newsfeed updates once they’re added to your Curated Newsfeed, helping you clearly understand the current state of each update after curation. With this enhancement, you can easily track what happens to a story as it moves from the Global Newsfeed to the Curated Newsfeed, giving you better visibility and control throughout the curation process.

Contify introduces the statuses of facts in the Curated newsfeed. Now the users can determine the status of the generated facts for an update in the curated Newsfeed without visiting the Athena module. This update helps users take appropriate actions on the facts. E.g. publish the incomplete facts or review which ones still require review.

Contify now displays the status of generated facts directly in the Curated Newsfeed, allowing you to quickly see the state of facts for each update without opening the Athena module.

This enhancement also highlights auto-generated facts that are in Pending Review, making you aware of their status at a glance so you can take timely action — such as reviewing or publishing them.

By surfacing fact statuses within the newsfeed, this update improves visibility, reduces extra navigation, and helps streamline your fact review and publishing workflow.

Contify now allows users to run their favourite Saved Searches directly from the Home page, making it faster to access the insights and updates that matter most to you.

Users can now launch Saved Searches without navigating through multiple modules. The Home page displays the favourite Saved Searches as quick-access tiles, enabling them to instantly view filtered updates based on predefined search criteria.

Clicking a Saved Search automatically opens the Curated Newsfeed with all associated filters applied.

Contify is expanding the way your intelligence coverage is built. In addition to your existing integrated sources, you can now leverage AI-powered sourcing to automatically discover relevant business updates.

Your Contify Analysts can configure AI sourcing prompts that continuously scan for updates aligned with your use case helping you capture updates that may not surface through traditional source feeds alone.

Contify now supports AI-driven news sourcing, where custom prompts are used to identify and fetch relevant updates at regular intervals. These updates flow directly into your existing Curated Newsfeed and follow the same quality checks as all other content.

Depending on your workflow, sourced updates can be:

This adds an intelligent discovery layer on top of your current sources — without changing how you consume insights.

How This Adds Value for You

All AI-sourced updates pass through Contify’s standard enrichment pipeline, including deduplication, tagging, and quality checks.

What You Need to Do

If you’d like to activate AI sourcing for your account:

Reach out to your Contify analyst

They can configure custom AI sourcing prompts based on:

Once set up, the system will automatically keep your newsfeed enriched with relevant updates alongside your existing sources.

Contify’s AI-powered tagging is now extended to updates added manually to the Curated Newsfeed. Previously, AI tagging was primarily applied to automatically ingested content. With this enhancement, even updates you add via URL or manual entry are now analyzed and tagged using Contify’s LLM.

This ensures every update regardless of how it enters the platform benefits from consistent, accurate, and context-aware tagging. You still have full flexibility to manually add, edit, or remove tags to better match your business context.

Where to Find It

The Curation Mode toggle now directly determines which update statuses are visible in your Curated Newsfeed, creating a more streamlined and role-focused experience.

Where to Find It

You can now map your custom tags to Contify’s standard Locations category. This means you can continue using your organization’s preferred naming conventions (e.g., regional labels, internal geo classifications) while still aligning with Contify’s structured location taxonomy behind the scenes.

This bridges the gap between custom flexibility and platform intelligence, ensuring your updates benefit from accurate geographic classification without forcing you to change how you label locations internally.

Where to Find It

With this update, Contify has merged the fact templates “Events and Conferences” and “Conferences/Events Participation” into a single template - “Events and Conferences”

The Visualize feature in the Curated Newsfeed has been enhanced to support all categories in your taxonomy, enabling complete visual analysis.

You can now visualize:

Contify now enables users to assign icons to Insight Templates, enabling quick visual identification of insights across the platform. While creating or editing an Insight Template, users can select an icon that acts as the visual identifier for insights generated from that template.

Once configured, the selected icon will appear consistently across the platform, including:

Contify now automatically generates business facts across all standard fact templates using AI. Every update in your Newsfeed can now contribute to fact creation—without requiring manual filtering, template selection, or field population.

This enhancement significantly reduces the time and effort spent in converting raw updates into structured intelligence. Users can simply visit the Athena module to view a continuously updated stream of actionable, decision-ready business facts.

For teams that prefer more control, manual fact creation remains fully supported—ensuring flexibility alongside automation.

While new facts are created through Automated facts, Contify will intelligently identify duplicate facts during the process. The system reviews already generated facts and automatically restricts repetitions, ensuring that your fact stream remains clean, relevant, and free from redundancy.

This means less noise, better clarity, and more confidence that every fact you review represents a distinct business signal.

Contify now extends control to generate insights automatically using Contify templates as well. A toggle to enable /disable auto-generation and auto-update insight capabilities to Contify Insight templates, in addition to custom templates. You can decide whether a fact-mapped Insights template should update automatically whenever new relevant facts are created.

This gives administrators and CI leaders greater governance and control, allowing them to automate insight creation where speed is critical and retain manual oversight where precision is required.

To improve the reliability of intelligence across the platform, Contify now verifies AI-generated tags using an additional validation layer. Now tags applied will be validated with AI based on their description. This ensures that every tag attached to an update truly reflects its context and business relevance.

The result is a more trustworthy Newsfeed where filters, searches, dashboards, and alerts are powered by tags you can confidently rely on for analysis and reporting.

The experience of adding updates manually has been redesigned with a cleaner layout and more intuitive flow. The new interface aligns with the rest of the platform’s design system, making it easier to add important articles, reports, and links—without friction or confusion.

This ensures that even manual workflows feel fast, modern, and consistent.

The Companies module now displays each company’s official website and LinkedIn profile link directly alongside its name. This makes it easier to quickly validate companies, understand their digital presence, and assess relevance before adding them to your tracking lists.

For CI and strategy teams, this removes the need to search externally—bringing essential context directly into the platform.

This release introduces a standardized and refreshed tile design system across the Contify homepage, delivering a cleaner, more consistent, and scalable user experience across all widgets and modules.

Contify’s Athena module now displays the AI Prompts used for Insight generation directly within the module as a dedicated column. This enhancement allows users to quickly review the prompt logic without opening the edit modal.

Users can simply click “View more” in the AI Prompt column to inspect the full prompt and decide whether it needs refinement, significantly reducing friction and improving efficiency while working with Insights.

Contify now enables users to delete custom tags from their taxonomy. This update helps keep taxonomies clean and relevant by allowing the removal of tags that are no longer required.

Once a custom tag is deleted, it is automatically removed from all associated updates across the newsfeed, ensuring a clearer, clutter-free view of content. This improves discoverability, simplifies filtering, and gives users confidence that only meaningful and relevant tags are applied within the platform.

Contify’s Chrome extension, Contify Capture, now identifies and captures the original creator of posts from LinkedIn and X (formerly Twitter). This enhancement applies to company posts, people posts, and LinkedIn Ad Library content, ensuring clearer attribution of sourced updates.

In addition, Contify Capture can now also detect and record the entities that reposted or reshared the content on LinkedIn and X. This provides greater transparency into how updates are being amplified and helps users better understand the source versus the distributor of an update when it appears in the Contify Newsfeed.

This enhancement improves attribution accuracy and adds valuable context to captured social content across the platform.

Contify’s conversational assistant just got smarter. You can now ask follow-up questions without losing context and get precise answers to your business queries. Ask Athena intelligently retains the context of your previous questions to generate accurate responses.

If your follow-up question falls outside business relevance or does not align with the earlier context, Athena will prompt you to either refine your query or start a new session - saving time and reducing confusion.

What’s New

Contify’s deduplication capability has been enhanced to provide a cleaner and more accurate newsfeed. The system now uses a more advanced approach that evaluates the meaning and context of each story, rather than relying solely on traditional surface-level text comparisons.

Previously, duplicates were detected through hashing vector comparisons of story titles and bodies. While effective to an extent, this method worked at a word level and often struggled to capture the semantic similarities between stories. As a result, some near-identical updates were occasionally flagged as unique, leading to duplicate disputes.

With the new enhancement, duplicates are now identified through context-aware (semantic) comparisons of stories. This means the system can capture the true essence of an update, even when different outlets use varied wording to describe the same news. In addition, deduplication now runs every hour instead of every three, delivering a 3x faster cleanup of duplicates.

This upgrade allows Contify to deliver:

This enhancement is being rolled out gradually and will be available to select customers first.
