v5.1 is a focused release. Echo gets its first Agent, more LLM providers, and inline grammar checking. Business Intelligence gains a date field type. Also included are a raft of bug fixes.

Here’s what’s new!

Writing quality checks with Roslin

Report writing is where the work lives. The content your clients receive reflects the care your team put in, and a single typo in a critical finding can undermine that impression before they’ve finished reading it.

Roslin is our first Echo Agent — a configurable assistant that extends Echo beyond prompts and into the editing experience itself. Connect it to a LanguageTool instance (self-hosted or local) and it checks grammar, spelling, and style inline as you work. Issues are highlighted directly in the findings editor, with suggestions shown in context and one-click replacements. Dismissed suggestions are remembered per-browser, so they won’t surface again on your next visit.

The grammar and spell check side of Roslin runs entirely on LanguageTool, which means your finding content never has to leave your network to use it. If you also configure an LLM provider on the agent, Roslin picks that up for AI-assisted writing too — the two capabilities are independent and can be enabled in any combination.

To get started, visit Tools → Echo → Agents and click Edit next to Roslin. The Roslin setup guide walks through the LanguageTool configuration.

Echo for more providers

Echo launched with Ollama — a great option for teams that want local, private LLM processing. With v5.1, you can now also connect to OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google Gemini as provider options.

Each provider is configured separately under Tools → Echo → Providers, giving you a named connection with its own API key, endpoint, and default model. You can have multiple providers configured at once and choose between them per agent or per use case. If you prefer to keep everything on-premises, Ollama remains fully supported.

For cloud providers, be aware that your finding content will be sent to the external service as part of each prompt. If data residency matters for your engagements, Ollama is still the right choice.

Full provider setup details are in the Echo Providers guide.

Date fields in Business Intelligence

Business Intelligence custom properties have supported text and numeric values since launch. v5.1 adds a dedicated date field type.

That means you can now store structured date values — engagement start dates, remediation deadlines, retest windows — as first-class BI properties rather than free-text workarounds. Date fields behave like other custom properties: they are available in your dashboards, filterable, and can be tracked across projects over time.

If you have existing date values stored as text fields, now is a good time to migrate them over to take advantage of proper date filtering.
