What's New
- The Excel agent shows each change before writing it: A proposed write appears as a card with its reason and a preview. You apply or decline it, and most changes can be undone afterwards. When a change cannot be undone, Blast Audit says so. The agent also answers faster.
- Apply changes automatically now skips the card: If you turned this setting on, the agent writes values and formulas to cells without a confirmation card. Each turn keeps a one-click Undo. Scripts, charts and the other changes listed under the setting still wait for your click.
- Answers cite the source document: Click a citation to open the document at the cited page, with the line highlighted when its position is known.
- More ways to steer the agent: Type @ to point it at a document or an agent, or / to turn on Plan mode and read the plan before anything runs. Improve rewrites your request before you send it. When the agent needs details from you, it asks with a question card.
- Favorites in the agent library: Mark the agents you use most as favorites.
- Matching is rebuilt: It runs faster and handles up to 512 documents in one run.
- Probe and AI Extraction are redesigned: Both now take you through three steps.
- Financial Statement Tie-Out and the Disclosure checklist are available to everyone.
- Documents are classified on import: Once text recognition finishes, Blast Audit gives each document a type and tags when one of your labels fits. Your organization manages its list of document types and tags in the dashboard.
- Import from SharePoint and OneDrive: Once they are connected in workspace settings, you can import PDF and Excel files from them.
- Share proof: Build a signed proof pack, a ZIP file. Send it to a reviewer without a license: they open it in the Blast Audit reader, read-only, and their browser checks the Blast Audit seal.
- Open the document viewer in a floating window in Excel desktop.
- Use Blast Audit from other AI tools: AI assistants that support MCP can read your documents in the cloud and queue changes in your open workbook. An admin can turn cloud MCP on or off for each member and block a client, and you can pause the AI agent from Excel or the dashboard. Cell writes, sheets the AI created, renamed or deleted, and values a script wrote can be undone. Document deletions and changes to snips, comments, markups or analysis results cannot.
- A new support chat: The add-in and the dashboard open our own support chat in place of the previous chat widget. You can also write to support@blast-audit.com.
- Blast Audit in German: The add-in, the dashboard and the website are available in German.
- Help center: Articles at blast-audit.com/help, in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Polish.
Improvements
- Duplicate snips are repaired: When two snips sit on the same cell, the newer one stays and the older one goes to the bin.
- A document whose file is missing can be fixed: The viewer offers Re-import and Remove from list.
- Refused imports say why: A password-protected Office file, an unreadable Outlook .msg file or a file that cannot be converted gets a message naming the file and what to do next.
- Runs that fail on our side are no longer charged: They use no AI credits.
- Annual plans receive their AI credits every month.
Security & Reliability
- Document reading stays in the EU: AI document reading runs on Azure OpenAI in the EU Data Zone. Blast Audit deletes document content automatically after processing; the Privacy Policy describes the cases where Microsoft may keep data on its side. Text recognition also runs in the EU, unless your organization uses its own Azure key, and Blast Audit asks Microsoft to delete each result as soon as it has read it.
