## AI Architect - 8th Jul 2026

<mark style="color:blue;">**New feature**</mark>

**AI Architect MCP now supports GitHub Copilot CLI and OpenAI Codex CLI:** The [automated MCP installer](/ai-architect/quick-mcp-integration-with-ai-coding-agents.md) detects both terminal agents and configures them automatically, alongside the IDEs it already supports.

Developers who work primarily from the command line now query the same knowledge graph that grounds technical design in Jira, answers questions in Slack, and drives code review across Git providers, so the context behind every query stays consistent no matter which surface a team works from.

## AI Architect - 30th Jun 2026

<mark style="color:blue;">**New feature**</mark>

**Setting up AI Architect on Bito Cloud is now fully self-serve:** Connect your Git provider, select your repositories, and Bito instantly starts building a knowledge graph of your codebase — so your team can get up and running in minutes.

Once your repositories are indexed, connect AI Architect to your [coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and more)](/ai-architect/quick-mcp-integration-with-ai-coding-agents.md), [Jira](/ai-architect/integrating-ai-architect-with-your-tools/integrating-with-jira.md), [Linear](/ai-architect/integrating-ai-architect-with-your-tools/integrating-with-linear.md), [Slack](/ai-architect/integrating-ai-architect-with-your-tools/integrating-with-slack.md), [Confluence](/ai-architect/integrating-ai-architect-with-your-tools/integrating-with-confluence.md), and other tools your team already uses — so the same knowledge graph informs coding, planning, design, and review all in one place.

**To get started:**

1. [Sign up for Bito Cloud](https://alpha.bito.ai/home/welcome) and create a workspace
2. Connect your Git provider — GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or Azure DevOps
3. Start your 14-day free trial from the left sidebar — no credit card required
4. Click **Set up AI Architect**, select your repositories, and click **Index selected repositories**

## AI Architect - 17th Jun 2026

<mark style="color:blue;">**New feature**</mark>

**Conversational learning from Slack and Jira:** When you correct Bito or explicitly flag feedback in a Slack thread or Jira comment, Bito captures that input and feeds it into the [knowledge graph](/ai-architect/knowledge-graph.md). The next time anyone on the team asks a related question or Bito generates a plan, it applies what it learned.

## AI Architect - 11th Jun 2026

<mark style="color:blue;">**New feature**</mark>

**Azure DevOps support for self-hosted AI Architect:** Self-hosted AI Architect deployments now support Azure DevOps as a Git provider. You can connect your Azure DevOps repositories during setup and index them to build the knowledge graph, just like GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.

<a href="/pages/F7G1gWsmP84gCeGDvEdF" class="button primary">Learn more</a>

**New `diagnose` command for faster support:** A new built-in diagnostic tool makes it easier to get help when something goes wrong with self-hosted AI Architect. Running `bitoarch diagnose` performs a live health sweep across all services and, optionally, bundles logs, service status, configuration (with secrets redacted), database health, and indexing state into a single shareable archive — ready to send to the Bito support team. The command auto-detects whether you're running Docker Compose or Kubernetes.

```shellscript
bitoarch diagnose
```

## AI Architect - 10th Jun 2026

<mark style="color:blue;">**New feature**</mark>

**Unified code review skill — review code from Slack:** A new `bito-code-review` skill handles every review target — PRs, MRs, branches, commits, commit ranges, local changes, specific files, and diff files — and returns severity-rated findings with `file:line` evidence and cross-repo impact.

Works in Slack and in your coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Windsurf, Junie).

<a href="/pages/QDR9SZgxEiCDNgR7qqx3" class="button primary">Learn more</a>

**Create merge / pull requests directly from Slack:** Bito can now open MRs and PRs for you on GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket (cloud and self-hosted), with title, description, and ticket references filled in automatically. Smart template detection, draft MR support, and duplicate-MR guards are included out of the box.

<a href="/pages/lBKzyKNiaVbnJqBVAIeo#create-a-merge-pull-request-from-slack" class="button primary">Learn more</a>

**Smarter thread context in Slack:** When you ask about "this thread", Bito now scopes its context to thread messages only — no more unrelated channel history mixed in. Each message also carries a permalink so Bito can reference specific messages directly.

<a href="/pages/lBKzyKNiaVbnJqBVAIeo#basic-usage" class="button primary">Learn more</a>

## AI Architect - 8th May 2026

<mark style="color:blue;">**New feature**</mark>

**AI Architect now works with Linear:** Connect your Linear workspace in one click and AI Architect will automatically or on-demand analyze your issues — posting feasibility assessments, technical designs, and story breakdowns as comments, grounded in your codebase, business context, and tribal knowledge.

<a href="/pages/1e4jchRUsDbArDHHy58N" class="button primary">Learn more</a>

**Bito MCP installer now auto-updates agent skills and guidelines:** Your AI Architect skills and guidelines files now stay in sync with Bito automatically, no more re-running the install script when we ship updates. After a one-time reinstall, the updater runs daily and on every Claude Code session start, across macOS, Linux, and Windows.

To get started, run the installer once using the guide below.

## AI Architect - 24th Apr 2026

<mark style="color:blue;">**New feature**</mark>

**Chat with Bito directly in Slack DMs:** You can now message Bito AI Assistant one-on-one in Slack, just like you would a teammate. In a 1:1 DM with Bito, every message you send goes straight to the bot without needing to mention `@Bito`. It's the fastest way to get a quick code review, ask a technical question, or think through a problem without the noise of a shared channel.

You can also bring Bito into a group DM when collaborating with teammates. Just make sure to add Bito at the time of creating the group, and mention `@Bito` only when you want it to respond.

## AI Architect - 23rd Apr 2026

<mark style="color:blue;">**New feature**</mark>

**Knowledge graph now includes Git commit history:** AI Architect's [knowledge graph](/ai-architect/knowledge-graph.md) can now be enriched with your repository's commit history, surfacing deeper signals like change patterns, code hotspots, and how your architecture has evolved over time.

Combined with the existing Knowledge Graph, which already understands your codebase, Jira tickets, Confluence documentation, and observability data, this makes architecture queries, technical reviews, and design decisions even more contextual and accurate.

Git history enrichment is available on demand; contact us at <support@bito.ai> to get it enabled for your workspace.

## AI Architect - 20th Apr 2026

<mark style="color:blue;">**New feature**</mark>

**Introducing 3 new agent skills:** AI Architect now includes three new agent skills that take you from a technical plan all the way to reviewed, production-ready code — without leaving your workflow:

* **`bito-plan-to-agent-spec`** — Transforms your implementation plans into precise, self-contained workstream specs that any coding agent can execute reliably.
* **`bito-agent-spec-executor`** — Runs those specs step by step, with built-in verification gates and a two-stage review covering both spec compliance and code quality.
* **`bito-commit-review`** — Catches bugs and cross-repo impact before you commit, so issues never make it upstream.

All three agent skills can be triggered from your coding agents, Jira, or Slack.

<a href="/pages/QDR9SZgxEiCDNgR7qqx3" class="button primary">Learn more</a>

## AI Architect - 15th Apr 2026

<mark style="color:blue;">**New feature**</mark>

**Introducing Bito AI Assistant for Slack:** Get instant answers grounded in your team's codebase, tickets, and docs right where you work. Bito reads full thread context, auto-pulls details from Jira and Confluence when you reference them, analyzes shared files and code, and can even create branches and implement code changes directly from your Slack discussions.

**To get started:**

1. Install the app: [bitoaiassistant.bito.ai/slack/install](https://bitoaiassistant.bito.ai/slack/install)
2. Invite Bito to your channels by typing `@Bito` followed by your query.

## AI Architect - 8th Apr 2026

<mark style="color:blue;">**New feature**</mark>

**SSO authentication for AI Architect MCP:** AI Architect MCP now supports Single Sign-On authentication through your organization's identity provider. Instead of sharing static access tokens across your team, users authenticate through your existing IdP — eliminating security risks from shared credentials, impossible-to-audit access, and difficult token rotation.

SSO is available for both [Bito-hosted](/ai-architect/single-sign-on-sso-integration.md) and [self-hosted](/ai-architect/installation/install-ai-architect-self-hosted.md#sso-authentication) AI Architect deployments.

## AI Architect - 23rd Mar 2026

<mark style="color:blue;">**New feature**</mark>

**AI Architect now works inside Jira:** Planning a feature means someone has to assess feasibility, design the approach, and break down the work — before coding can even start. AI Architect now does this inside Jira.

When an Epic or Story is created, it automatically posts a plan (feasibility assessment, technical design, story breakdown, etc.) as a comment, grounded in your codebase and enriched by your Jira operational history (including past decisions, incident patterns, and system behavior).

## AI Code Review Agent - 11th Feb 2026

<mark style="color:blue;">**New feature**</mark>

**Confluence integration:** Bito now pulls information from your linked Confluence pages for pull request validation. This means your [AI code reviews](/ai-code-reviews-in-git/overview.md) get richer context — like edge cases, design decisions, or test scenarios — so reviews are more accurate and always aligned with your requirements.

## AI Code Review Agent - 9th Sep 2025

<mark style="color:blue;">**Important update**</mark>

**Bitbucket integration now uses API tokens:** Bitbucket has announced the [deprecation of app passwords](https://www.atlassian.com/blog/bitbucket/bitbucket-cloud-transitions-to-api-tokens-enhancing-security-with-app-password-deprecation) to enhance security across their platform. Starting September 9th, 2025, no new app passwords can be created, and existing app passwords will stop working entirely on June 9, 2026.&#x20;

**What's changing:** We've updated Bito to support Bitbucket's new API token authentication method. This transition ensures your Bitbucket integration remains secure and functional beyond the deprecation timeline.&#x20;

**What you need to do:** If you're currently using app passwords for your Bitbucket integration, you'll need to switch to API tokens.&#x20;

[Check out our updated setup guide](https://docs.bito.ai/ai-code-review-agent/install-run-using-bito-cloud/guide-for-bitbucket) to get started.
