EON AI Assistant and Portal updates
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* Multi-language support:
    * You can now converse with the AI Assistant in over 20 languages, including
      major languages such as Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish.
    * Switching languages is easy; just select the language option on the voice input dialog before asking
      your question, and the AI Assistant will respond in the same language.
    * You can switch between multiple languages during a single session.
    
* You can replay the AI response by tapping on a conversation bubble in the AI Portal.
* If a 3D asset contains curated annotations, you can access a pre-defined question in 
  the AI portal that prompts the AI Assistant to describe the asset's main components.
* The AI Assistant now points to both parts of an object and real-world annotations with
  names that match the AI response.
* Toast messages are displayed while waiting for the AI Assistant avatar to load and or the AI response to come back.
* The AI Portal toggle button in the lower left corner now behaves differently:
    * When toggled on (blue), the AI Portal will always appear in 2D mode, regardless of the previous mode.
    * When toggled off, the Portal disappears, but the Assistant will continue to talk if it's talking.
    * To stop the talking, you can select the Stop button on the Portal.
* Avatar download speed has been improved.

.. _interact-updates:

EON Interact enhancements
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* The **Interact portal** is now accessed using a new button to the right of the AI Portal toggle button,
  instead of appearing inside the + row or tapping on a location based action sphere.
* The action sphere is now used to preview the action; simply tap it to preview, and tap again to stop the preview.

.. _other-updates:

Other updates
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* The audio element in the Knowledge Portal is now generated by AI, resulting in higher-quality 
  output. You can also use the built-in AI prompt to further customize the content, 
  rather than relying on the pre-defined templates.
* When adding new 3D assets on the Sketchfab tab, you can filter assets by categories.

.. _bug-fixes:
