Faster prompt picker and live progress on CSV exports
The / reference picker in the agent prompt editor now shows a clickable breadcrumb trail at the top of each submenu (for example, Data Sources > Models > ToV), so you can jump back to a parent level instead of starting over. Search inside the picker is also space-tolerant — type Specifications type 1 and it matches entries named specifications_type_1.See Referencing Data Sources in your prompt.

Live counter on CSV exports

The Export to CSV modal now shows a live Exported N products count on the button while the file streams, replacing the previous spinner. Large exports finally show their progress instead of looking stuck.See Download the CSV.

Push and pull product data in several languages from one API integration

Multiple languages per API integration

An API integration is no longer locked to a single language. Pick any number of languages when you create or edit the integration; the first one becomes Primary and acts as the fallback when a property is pushed without a language. Properties carry an optional locale field, and Cernel stores each localized variant separately and surfaces it to enrichment, the product UI, and the /changes endpoint.The new PATCH /products and GET /products endpoints (see Patching products and Listing products) shipped alongside, so you can update individual localized values and look products up by identifier without re-sending full payloads.See Setting up the API integration and Working with multiple languages.

Enrich only the attributes that are currently empty

Only enrich missing fields

The enrichment modal has a new Only enrich missing fields toggle. Turn it on and the AI only generates values for attributes that are currently empty — existing values you’ve reviewed or hand-edited are left alone. Turn it off to re-enrich every selected attribute and overwrite current values. Use it to backfill a newly-added attribute across a large catalog without touching products you’ve already finished.See Running enrichment.

Cancel a sandbox run, no more auto-runs

Sandbox stays put until you tell it to run

The agent sandbox no longer auto-runs when you open the Review & Test step, switch attribute types, or send a chat refinement. The 5 random products are still pre-selected for you, but Cernel waits for an explicit Run click before calling the LLM. Chat refinements still rewrite the prompt and save a new version in history — you click Re-run when you want to see the new output. This puts you in control of when the (potentially slow) enrichment pass actually fires.

Cancel an in-progress sandbox run

While a sandbox run is in flight, the Run button becomes Cancel. Click it to abort the request immediately — any results that already came back are kept, you get a Run cancelled toast, and the button returns to a startable state so you can adjust and try again. Especially useful for External Data agents in Agentic mode, where a single pass can take a couple of minutes.See Run the agent.

Web research without writing search queries by hand

Agentic mode for External Data web research

External Data agents that pull text data from the web now have a Mode selector with two options:
  • Classic — you define the exact search queries and trusted sources; Cernel searches them and combines the results.
  • Agentic — Cernel plans and runs the searches itself, one product at a time, based on each product’s details. You don’t write search queries; you control scope through Block these domains and Restrict to these domains, and accuracy through Match by (a product identifier such as SKU or GTIN, or Broad search on the title).
Use Agentic mode when your products vary too much for one query template to cover — for example, sourcing technical specs across thousands of SKUs from manufacturers you don’t enumerate up front. The What to Extract prompt (renamed from Synthesis Instructions) tells the agent what to pull out of the matched results.Agentic external data also works end-to-end inside the Agent Sandbox — you can preview a run, refine the prompt through chat, and re-run on the same products, just like every other agent type.See External Data agents: Classic vs Agentic mode.

Enable Shopify product variants from the integration detail panel

Shopify product variants

Shopify integrations now have a Variants control on the integration detail panel. Click Enable, confirm the dialog, and Cernel starts importing each Shopify variant as its own variant record under the parent product. Enabling variants is a one-way action, so the dialog warns up front before you commit.See Working with product variants.

Connect Struct PIM workspaces with two-way sync

Struct PIM is now a supported integration

Connect a Struct PIM workspace directly from Tools > Integrations > Add integration. Both Struct PIM v3 and v4 are supported, and you can optionally target a specific dimension when Cernel pushes enriched content back to Struct PIM.See Struct PIM integration.
2026-05-06
New Automations page, sentence builder, and multi-taxonomy support

Redesigned Automations with multi-taxonomy support

Automations now live on dedicated pages — /automations for the list and /automations/new (or /automations/{id}) for the detail view — instead of a four-step modal. Each automation is configured through a single editable sentence builder that reads as one line: “New and updated products in [category] will automatically enrich [attributes] narrowed to only products matching [filters]”.Each automation is now scoped to one taxonomy explicitly, so you can run independent automations on different taxonomies for the same product. You can also pick Unclassified products as the target, which limits the automation to setting the taxonomy’s classifying attribute — useful for getting unclassified products into the right category before further enrichment runs.Run history has moved to a dedicated Run history tab on the automation detail page.See Creating an automation and Multi-taxonomy and Unclassified products.
2026-05-03
Add any locale by code — including regional variants

Free-text locale codes when adding a language

The Add Language modal in Tools > Languages now accepts any valid locale code as free text instead of picking from a fixed dropdown. Type a code like en, da, or a region-specific variant such as sv_FI or pt_BR and the platform validates it on submit. This unlocks locales that weren’t in the previous list and gives you region-specific content where you need it.See Add a new language.

On-demand CSV export and dedicated Jobs page

On-demand CSV product export

Export products to CSV directly from the products table — no integration setup required. Pick any combination of attributes, identifiers, product fields, child products and integration data, drag to reorder columns, and customise headers before downloading.See On-demand export from the products table.

Dedicated Jobs page

Job tracking now lives on its own Jobs page with stats (Elements Run Total, Total Jobs, Avg Elements Per Job, Elements Run Today), a By user activity widget, and a filterable jobs table. The Dashboard keeps a Recent jobs widget for at-a-glance access.

Tools section in main sidebar

Automations, Data Sources, Integrations and Languages moved to Tools

These four areas now live under a new top-level Tools section in the main sidebar instead of inside Settings. Direct URLs are now /automations, /data-sources, /integrations, and /languages.Settings continues to host Platform, Global Prompts, Usage, Users, API, and Webhooks. See the Settings overview for the new split.

Event Log in Settings

Event Log in Settings

A new Events tab in Settings surfaces recent system events and integration activity in one place. Filter by severity, domain, event kind, or resource type to drill into a specific run.See Event Log for details.
