25.05.2026: Improved features
This release keeps your network more responsive and relevant: members are now notified when new questions appear in their Knowledge Spaces, and topic extraction has been improved to better reflect your company's domain.
1. Knowledge Space Notifications
New questions in followed Knowledge Spaces now trigger automatic notifications
🚀 What's new
Starmind now notifies users when a new question is posted in a Knowledge Space they follow. Notifications are delivered via email and in-app, through the existing "New question that might interest me" channel — the same one used for topic subscriptions. No configuration is required; the behaviour is active by default.
💎 Key benefits:
- **Higher response rates: **Members are prompted at the moment a question is posted, reducing the time questions go unanswered.
- No new notification channel to manage: The feature reuses an existing notification type, so user preferences apply without changes.
⚙️ How it works:
When a question is posted in a Knowledge Space, Starmind identifies users who follow that space and queues a notification through the "New question that might interest me" channel. Delivery (email, in-app, or both) is determined by each user's existing notification preferences.
2. Smarter Topic Extraction
For networks with activated LLM topic filtering
Topics that actually reflect what your company does
🚀 What's new
The platform now uses your company's description as context when extracting topics from content. The result is a knowledge graph that stays relevant to your business — less noise, better expert matches, and recommendations that map to real work.
💎 Key benefits:
- **Topics that make sense for your company: **The platform now understands your business context better, so extracted topics reflect your domain rather than generic categories.
- Less noise, more signal: Users spend less time dismissing irrelevant topics and find expert matches that map to their actual work.
- A knowledge graph that gets better over time: Every improvement to topic quality raises the accuracy of expert recommendations across the entire network.
⚙️ How it works:
When content is processed for topic extraction, the AI filter now receives your company description as part of its context. This grounds its decisions in your specific domain, making extracted topics more relevant and precise.
🚀 Getting started:
- No action required. The improvement applies automatically.
- If your company description isn't set up yet, add it in your Admin area > Settings > Network.
- Watch for improved topic suggestions and expert recommendations in the coming days.
