# May 2026 - AI / Insights

The following updates were released to the Kentik platform for AI / Insights during May 2026.

## Features

- **AI Advisor Cloud Pathfinder visualization**: AI Advisor now renders hop-by-hop network path diagrams for cloud traffic, showing entity types, VPC associations, AWS regions, and reachability status.
- **AI Advisor usage tab**: New "AI Advisor Usage" tab in AI Settings shows AI assistant usage analytics over selectable time ranges.
- **Create runbooks from AI Advisor**: Users can create, retrieve, and update runbooks directly from AI Advisor conversations, with automatic linking to alert policies and session tracking.
- **AI Advisor alerting tools**: Adds single-alert lookup, device enrichment in alert details, and a new Alert Statistics tool for aggregated counts, trends, and top-N rankings.
- **Notification template AI helper**: "Ask AI" assistance is now integrated into the notification template editor for context-aware help with template creation and debugging.
- **AI Advisor disabled-tool visibility**: AI Advisor can now display unavailable tools along with the reason they are disabled (RBAC or missing features), so users know how to enable them.
- **DeviceConfigTool search improvements**: Device config search now uses a token-budget model with configurable `search_token_limit` and context window controls for denser, more predictable results.
- **GPT-5.5 model support**: The AI gateway now offers GPT-5.5 and removes deprecated models so only current, supported models are available.

## Bug Fixes

- **AI Advisor NMS saved views fix**: Fixed execution and listing of NMS (Metrics Explorer) saved views that previously returned "invalid query data" errors.
- **AI Advisor synthetic test label filtering**: Fixed the non-functional label filter in the synthetics status tool, enabling case-insensitive filtering of synthetic tests by label.
- **AI Advisor single-metric NMS queries**: The NMS tool now enforces one metric per query for more consistent results and validation.
- **AI Advisor device RBAC centralization**: Device RBAC is now centralized in the agent, ensuring AI Advisor consistently honors device permissions and removes fail-open behavior.
