Odin Changelog
This page includes release notes and updates for Odin app users. Use this page to keep track of upcoming changes, deprecation notices, new features, and feature updates from GetFocus.
[ADDED] Search Suggestions
- We’ve introduced search as you type suggestions to the search bar for all of the new search types
[ADDED] Introducing the new 'Agentic Search' -- a new AI agent driven technology search type
- Agentic Search deploys an AI agent that interprets your query, explores related patents, reads through them, and learns what’s truly relevant — all to deliver better, more precise results
- The AI agent also tunes and picks the best similarity threshold for your query to ensure that what you see is more accurate unlike the static threshold value for the legacy Smart Search and Exact Search types.
- You can find the new and old search types by clicking on the menu option and enabling the Advanced search settings
[ADDED] Step-by-Step Progress View for Patent Discovery
- We’ve introduced a new progress tracker that shows you exactly how the system finds patents for your search.
- You’ll now see a step-by-step breakdown of how your input is interpreted, how patents are explored, and how the most relevant results are selected — all in real time.
- This new view gives you more transparency, more control, and clearer insight into how results are being generated.
[CHANGED] Updated UI/UX of the Search and Search History pages
- The search page now has a new updated look with quality of life changes
[ADDED] Applicant field to patent family cards
- We have added a new property Applicant propterty to the patent family card
[FIXED] Bugs with various chat components
- If you initiate a Chat with Publication, close it before/while it's streaming and initiate a new Chat with Publication the chat window would stream the response from the first chat window. This has now been fixed.
- We have fixed the "retry" action for the first Chat with Insight message
[FIXED] Bugs with exporting datasets
- Fixed the bug where the Export button in a dataset would get stuck in the processing state or be unresponsive to clicks.
- The exported file would have missing data in a few columns. Now all columns will have appropriate data points
[FIXED] Bugs with publication number search
- Searching with certain publication number formats would cause the system to match millions of patents incorrectly. The system now handles unknown publicaiton number formats better.
[FIXED] Empty tracking emails or misformated tracking emails
- Tracking workflows would send out empty emails daily due to errors arising in the automated processing of the workflows. Now, the system would handle these errors gracefully and will not send out empty notifications.
- Formatting of some tracking workflow emails has been fixed.
[FIXED] Minor bugs with datasets and insights
- Clicking the "thumbs down" icon on a patent family card would not actually remove it from the returned result, the application now ensures that downvoted patents do not show up in the list.
- Insight would show multiple year graphs even when the publication date range filter would be set to a single year. The insights now show a dynamically scaled time axis that is more considerate of the filters.
[CHANGED] Updated UI/UX for the filters
We've updated the filter section of the dataset to make it more intuitive and user-friendly:
- Wider Layout: The filter panel is now wider, improving readability and making it easier to craft and manage your filters.
- Simplified Selection: It's now more intuitive to find, select, and deselect organizations (e.g., in the Organization or Ultimate Owner filters), making it easier to build the dataset you need.
- Streamlined Design: Less frequently used filters have been moved into a new “Advanced Filters” section, giving more focus to the most common ones.
[FIXED] Bugfixes related to LLM filtering
We've resolved several issues to make working with LLM filters more reliable and consistent:
- Flickering Progress States: Fixed an issue where the progress indicator for LLM filters would occasionally flicker.
- Incorrect Filter Display: Resolved a bug where LLM filters from a different dataset could briefly appear.
- UI Polishing: Made various small visual and styling improvements to ensure a smoother experience overall.
[NOTICE] Unsaved sets older than 1 month will now be deleted periodically
- We introduced an automated process that checks for and deletes any unsaved sets that are older than a month every night outside business hours.
[ADDED] 'LLM Filtering' Let our AI agent search for patents matching your custom search instruction
- The LLM Filtering feature allows you to instruct an LLM powered assistant to filter the patent families in your dataset based on any condition. For example, you can instruct the assistant to "Search for all patents that relate to cryogenic carbon capture" and the assistant will then evaluate every patent from your dataset one by one to check if it's relevant per your instruction.
- At the time of release LLM Filtering allows you to queue 1 filtering task per dataset and a total of 3 filtering tasks across all datasets combined.
[ADDED] Get help from one of GetFocus' analysts directly in Odin
- We have added a chat feature that allows you to connect with one of our analysts. Our analysts are available to assist you with any questions you may have. You can find the chat option at the top right corner of the screen, next to the menu.
[FIXED] View range interaction on Organisation Size and Organisation Quality graphs
- The Charts years range selection would incorrectly behave as an additional publication year filter for the graphs inside the Organization Size and Organization Quality categories. This has now been fix such that the "View range" selection only affects the axis boundaries for temporal graphs.
[FIXED] The similarity histogram now correctly displays the total number of patent families for each similarity score.
- Previously, the histogram in the right-hand-side filters showed the count of patent families per individual similarity score. However, it should have displayed the cumulative total of patent families up to (and including) that score. This issue has now been resolved.
[FIXED] Performance issues for comparison graphs.
- The tooltips in the comparison graphs were lagging in some cases. This has now been resolved.
