What's New - August 2026 Release

L
Written by Lauren Hickey-Jednat

This release brings Crelate's AI capabilities together into one connected experience. From a rebuilt AI Talent Assistant (current Chrome Extension) and conversational search to a self-updating database and a unified Agent Dashboard, everything is designed to help you spend less time on manual research and more time engaging the people who matter. Here's what's new.


Agent Based Conversational Discover Agent

Search your database the way you'd describe a candidate out loud. With the new conversational Discover Agent, there's no Boolean syntax to memorize, just ask. Whether you're looking for candidates, companies, or both, describe what you need in plain language and the Agent handles the rest, returning relevant matches and flagging who's already in your database.


AI Talent Assistant

The rebuilt Crelate Chrome extension acts as your AI Talent Assistant surfacing whether a person is already in your Crelate database, enriching their profile with fresh contact details, and letting you add or update records in a single click. It's faster, cleaner, and built to keep your data current as you work across the sites you source from every day.


Insights Agent

The Living Platform is a tool that keeps your Crelate recruiting database continuously updated by automatically refreshing job titles, company info, and contact details each month. It was created to solve the problem of outdated data in recruiting systems, helping teams avoid missed opportunities. It ensures your database stays accurate and relevant as people and companies evolve. By eliminating manual data upkeep, it helps teams confidently re-engage talent, improve search and reporting, and turn static records into a dynamic, strategic resource, as a more valuable, living database.


Agent Dashboard

The Agent Dashboard is a centralized hub for AI-driven recruiting, combining insights from Crelate’s Discover and Insights Agents. It automatically surfaces smart suggestions, like new candidates, potential matches, and updates on existing contacts—in one unified view. Built to reduce time spent searching across systems, it streamlines candidate discovery, enrichment, and tracking, helping recruiters focus on engagement instead of manual research. By consolidating key tasks, it eliminates fragmented workflows and speeds up decision-making on top opportunities.


Agent Dashboard Ideas

The Agent Dashboard incorporates four distinct core ideas. The Discover Agent enhances recruiting by automating candidate sourcing and enrichment. When a new job opens, it instantly surfaces relevant candidates from proprietary sources, saving time and expanding reach. It also analyzes submitted candidates to find others with similar profiles, helping build stronger pipelines faster. The system flags potential duplicates by matching new profiles with existing records, allowing you to review before merging to keep data clean. Additionally, it tracks key contacts, those you engage with most, and alerts you to title or job changes, ensuring you're always informed about the people who matter most.


Crelate + MCP

Bring Crelate into the AI tools you already use. Crelate now supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard that securely connects your Crelate data to external AI assistants. Ask questions, surface candidates, and pull insights from your database using natural language, right inside the AI tools you work in. MCP is rolling out in early access to a limited group of customers.


Flexible AI Credits

A simpler, more flexible way to power Crelate's AI. We're introducing a new credit-based model for Crelate's AI capabilities. Rather than managing separate per-feature limits, your team draws from a shared pool of credits that can be applied across Discovery, enrichment, Insights, and other AI-powered actions, giving you the flexibility to use Crelate's AI wherever it delivers the most value, with clear visibility into how it's being used across your organization.
