Blog/Changelog/#18: Outlook Calendar, Microsoft SSO, WordPress Plugin

Sharing these updates with you today, all designed to help you get the most from Invent’s conversational AI for customer support, lead generation, and team productivity:

Microsoft Login SSO for Teams and Enterprises:

You can now sign in with Microsoft accounts, offering smooth single sign-on (SSO) integration for secure and efficient team access to Invent’s AI platform.

A modern login screen for Invent is shown. The form allows users to sign in with an email address, Google, Microsoft, or SSO. The UI displays an email field with a placeholder ("jane@example.com"), a large black "Continue" button, and "Continue with Google" and "Continue with Microsoft" buttons below. There's also a "Use SSO instead" link, and a note about agreeing to the terms and privacy policy. The background features a soft purple gradient.

Sign into Invent the way that works for your business, securely log in using email, Google, Microsoft, or Single Sign-On (SSO) for seamless and streamlined access.

Microsoft Outlook Calendar Integration:

Easily schedule, update, and manage events directly in Invent with the new Microsoft Outlook Calendar integration, perfect for enhancing AI assistant productivity and managing business meetings in real time.

WordPress Plugin for 24/7 AI Chatbot Support:

Quickly add a 24/7 AI chatbot to your WordPress website with our new plugin, boost customer engagement, answer questions instantly, qualify leads, and handle bookings even outside business hours.

A dashboard screen shows Invent’s integration with WordPress. The header features the Invent and WordPress logos side-by-side. A user interface panel for “Invent AI Support” is displayed with tabs for Settings, Knowledge, Actions, Channels, and Widget (the Widget tab is selected). Below, connection options are shown: Hosted Link, Bubble Button, IFrame, and WordPress (highlighted). Instructions prompt the user to install the Invent plugin on their WordPress site and connect it using a provided Assistant ID code, which is shown in a copy-ready textbox. The background has a subtle purple gradient.

Connect Invent directly to your WordPress site, add your Assistant ID, and start providing AI-powered support or lead engagement in just a few clicks.

Arabic & RTL Language Support and Enhanced Navigation:

Experience native support for Arabic and right-to-left languages, plus improved navigation as the app now remembers your scroll position, making multilingual and international website support smoother than ever.

A chat interface displays a user’s request: “Tell me something in Arabic (only). A paragraph.” Below, the AI assistant responds with a paragraph of Arabic text inside a chat bubble labeled “Outlook Calendar”. The message is fully in Arabic and right-aligned, showing proper Right-to-Left (RTL) language support. The visual design is modern, with user profile pics and gradient background.

Invent supports Arabic and right-to-left (RTL) languages in both user input and AI-generated assistant responses, ensuring accessibility and a seamless experience for global audiences.

Mute Conversations for personalized notification control:

Pause notifications at any time by muting individual chat conversations, giving you full control over sound and email alerts.

Latest Grok 4.3 AI model added:

Get access to the advanced Grok 4.3 large language model for smarter, more context-aware conversations. See the official X.ai site for details on Grok 4.3 capabilities.

Grok 4.1 Model deprecation (Automatic migration):

Grok 4.1 and Grok 4.1 Reasoning models will be retired on May 14. All your chats and AI assistants will auto-migrate to Grok 4.3 or the latest available version for improved AI chatbot performance.

The center panel explains how to connect WhatsApp Business to Invent, with highlighted tips, information callouts, and clickable elements like “Copy page.” The design is clean, well-organized, and structured for easy reading.
