Here's this week's ibl.ai platform update: a quick summary of the newest features across Data Manager, mentorAI, and skillsAI, plus a highlight from our ongoing work with global partners.

## Features

### Featured Mentors & Discovery

Admins can now mark mentors as "featured" and filter by this tag for faster curation and spotlighting, perfect for showcasing key mentors institution-wide.

### File Uploads

Documents and media can now be uploaded directly from the browser using secure presigned URLs, making chats faster and more reliable.

### Proactive Mentor Notifications

Mentors can now send AI-generated notifications via WebSockets, allowing personalized, event-based updates for learners.

### Google Calendar Toolkit

Mentors can now connect with Google Calendar for scheduling-aware conversations and workflows.

### Personalized Mentor Endpoint

Each learner now receives mentor recommendations personalized to their study patterns and history.

### Deeper RBAC Coverage

Role and policy endpoints now include fine-grained filters and audit data for improved governance and visibility. New, explicit permission lets Viewer/Editor roles view mentor settings without over-provisioning.

### Unified RBAC Management

Modernized RBAC setup across applications for consistent permissions and simplified role administration.

### Instructor Workspace (skillsAI)

A new instructor-focused workspace inside courses makes insights faster and more intuitive.

## Partner Spotlight

We're proud partners of NVIDIA, powering the Deep Learning Institute (DLI) platform. At NVIDIA GTC in Washington, D.C., thousands of participants used the DLI platform to complete hands-on AI and accelerated computing labs. It was a great showcase of how scalable, mentor-guided learning drives real impact.

We're proud partners of Georgetown University, MedStar Health, and DAIMLAS, supporting the Universal "AI for Health" Summit (Oct 28–29 in D.C.) with a purpose-built AI Assistant on mentorAI that guided attendees through sessions, mixers, and virtual workshops. The assistant streamlined logistics and elevated engagement across the MedStar-Georgetown AI CoLab community.
