May 22, 2025 / 🙄 Fibery Smart Agent (beta), Whiteboard Sections improvements

Fibery Smart Agent (beta)

I know you all tired of AI, but sometimes it can be really helpful.

Today we’re releasing the second iteration of Fibery Smart Agent that can answer quite complex questions around your Fibery data, work with rich text in databases, generate text reports, identify patterns and insights across multiple records and categorise data using AI-powered semantic analysis.

How good it is?

Well, the best way is to try it for yourself. Click Fibery AI in the left menu and ask few questions. Here is a video that shows Smart Agent in action for several questions on real data.

From my personal experience, it works better than a recent Notion AI Research tool. I tested both tools on the same dataset and Fibery got all questions right, while Notion only 3 out of 6.

Check Fibery Smart Agent user guide for more details.

Are there any limits?

Limits are quite strict so far: 20 questions per month for free version, 50 + 10 per paid seat for Standard, 200 + 20 per paid seat for Pro. We will check usage in the next few months and tune the limits.

Next steps

Now we are working on workspace and data modification. Our final goal is to provide a way to fully manipulate Fibery via text conversation: create database, formulas, rules, views and change them, import data from external tools, update data, interact with external MCP servers.

Automation Action: Fill Rich Text Field from Smart Agent reply

You can call Smart Agent via Automations. Result of the action is rich text. Some ideas how to use it:

  • Generate a weekly report about product progress for all recent features and tasks
  • Generate quality report about found bugs and other metrics, like bugs-per-feature, bugs-per-product area, etc.
  • Generate a monthly feedback report: Analyse all highlights created last month and generate a report about most frequent problems and issues.

First, we recommend to nail the prompt in Smart Agent UI in the top left corner and only then create a rule or action button with the prompt.

New actions added to all rich text fields:

  • Append content to [field name] via Smart Agent
  • Prepend content to [field name] via Smart Agent
  • Override [field name] via Smart Agent

Specify a prompt for this action (note that you can use markdown templates inside prompts, so you may invent quite clever prompts)

Bear in mind that Smart Agent can be quite slow, some complex prompts can take several minutes to execute.

Smart Agent calls in automations do count towards limits and they are quite strict, so use it wisely.

Whiteboard: Sections improvements

We’ve completely revamped the whiteboard sections module. Here’s what’s new:

  • You can add objects to a section by moving or resizing the section over the object
  • Sections can contain nested sections, which is especially useful for creating complex templates and organized layouts
  • Duplicate a section along with its content
  • Rename a section by double-clicking its name or selecting the rename option
  • Lock sections to prevent any movement or editing of them and their contents
  • Hide sections with content without deleting it, making it easy to reveal later during a presentation or group activity
  • Export a section with its content as an image, or copy it to the clipboard for easy pasting into documents
  • Default section sizes and resize behavior have been updated
  • Object guides within sections are now shown only when interacting with sections

:butterfly: Improvements

  • CSV import 2.0 now supports relation Fields and is one step closer to graduate from beta (two years after the first release :scream:).
  • Now you can see exact time of a Notification item. It is accessible via menu when hovering a notification

:shrimp: Fixed Bugs

  • Fields: Replace “m” with “min” for minutes everywhere
  • Form View: Remove Type ‘/’ placeholder from rich text in public form
  • Filters: Too short field name in filters when ‘is within’ is used with two exact dates
  • Import: handle case when two Workflow fields are selected
  • Unique fields:
    • ‘Require values to be unique’ should have disabled style if it can not be switched on
    • ‘Require to be unique’ option state is not saved when field is created from Timeline/Calendar view
  • Table View:
    • Hide aggregation and display only number if there is not enough space in cell
    • Missing list of aggregations on clicking in Total cell
  • Timeline View:
    • Cards dragging is broken on Timeline
    • When in timeline view, and opening an entity card, and then closing the card, you lose your view position in the timeline

Beautiful work! Thank you Fibery Team :folded_hands:
Is it safe to assume we’ll be able to “search” within our Chat History in the future?

Let’s accumulate some history first :slight_smile:

The new Section for Whiteboards looks really solid. Can’t wait to put it to the test.

Good stuff!!

Just asked it some questions. I was sceptical of the answer it gave me, and wanted to dig in, so I asked it if it was sure. It gave me back a list of their names, but the thing I’m missing it linking or mentioning the entities its talking about.

After asking him to explicitly link to them, it hyperlinked, but still not mention.

I’m assuming this isn’t possible. It would nice if it linked by default, and mentioned when asked to. This way when using the automations and it mentions something, it has the backlink in the entity itself.

I asked it to mention inline and it made a full story about the data, linking the related entities inline the story hahah.

This really makes me want to learn more about setting up integrations! Because then this AI just sits on top of any source of data. And looks to be very accurate. Google analytics or ads, or linkedin connections, or idk any other source of lots of data. It can be integrated into here and the data can be understood more with the AI. Good stuff.

And it would absolutely amazing when its able to generate reports.

Awesome update! I cannot wait to put the improved sections through its paces. :slightly_smiling_face:

This is a great start for Fibery’s Smart Agent! But the real power unlock is when the smart agent can take all sorts of actions inside of Fibery, based on the task given.

What will be a game changer for us:

  1. Smart Agent has memory
  2. Smart Agent can understand context when used in buttons like “This entity” and other such functions similar to the formulas
  3. Based on the given instructions, it can search relational fields for available entities, link them when it finds the right choice, or create new entities and links by itself.
  4. At any point, it asks for user intervention or input to make decisions that it is uncertain about. Based on the intervention, the agent can improve its memory and context and perform better at the same tasks in the future.
  5. Agent can save the thought process result so it can just redo it the next time the same task is given, so it doesn’t waste tokens or limits finding the same solution over and over, rather it can just do more of the brunt execution based on past successful thinking
  6. The agent can review attached files, such as images and MP4S, and absorb information to use them for the task when needed.
  7. Be able to use references to entities (using #) in the chat with the agent so it knows exactly what we are talking about and doesn’t have to run queries to try and fetch the specific entity we are describing in text
  8. Be able to work with the agent through voice
  9. agent communicates and gets input through integrations like slack dm etc.,

We would pay a LOT more for an added subscription if the agent could do all this!

A lot of good ideas here, thanks!
