    September 11, 2026 | App version 1.23.0

    This release introduces AI Usage Insights, expanding CRA’s visibility beyond installed AI applications to provide a broader view of how AI is accessed and used across an organization. Administrators can now better understand AI activity across browsers, workflow platforms, and locally detected AI models, while gaining clearer visibility into approved and unapproved AI usage.

    Key Updates

    • Added visibility into web-accessed AI applications and websites, helping administrators understand AI usage beyond applications installed on devices.
    • Introduced insights into AI-enabled workflow automation platforms and locally detected AI models to provide a more complete view of AI activity across the environment.
    • Added AI governance insights, enabling administrators to distinguish between sanctioned and unsanctioned AI activity and better identify tools that may require review.
  2. Manage Device Actions (Beta)

    September 11, 2026 | App version 1.23.0

    This release expands CRA from readiness assessment into supported device actions, enabling organizations to move more directly from Chrome Enterprise Premium readiness insights to CEP enrollment deployment. The new capability is designed to simplify deployment across larger device environments and reduce the manual effort involved in moving from readiness to action. In Beta version this action is supported for CommandLyne AI assistant only.

    Key Updates

    • Introduced support for deploying Chrome Enterprise Premium (CEP) enrollment configuration to devices through CRA.
    • Added a dedicated Actions experience in the Report Generator for configuring supported actions and monitoring deployment progress.
    • Added deployment status visibility to help administrators track the outcome of actions across devices.
    • Enabled a more connected workflow between CEP readiness assessment and deployment, helping organizations move from identifying readiness to taking action at scale.
  3. CRA MCP Connector

    September 11, 2026 | App version 1.23.0

    This release introduces CRA MCP, providing a new way to explore current CRA readiness report data through supported AI assistants. Administrators can use natural-language questions to retrieve targeted insights without manually navigating multiple sections of the Report Generator.

    This feature is currently compatible only with Claude Desktop app and CommandLyne.

    Key Updates

    • Introduced an MCP Server that allows supported AI assistants to access information from the current successfully generated CRA report.
    • Added support for natural-language queries, allowing users to ask questions about readiness, deployment blockers, applications, devices, and other CRA insights.
    • Added support for conversational follow-up questions, making it easier to explore report insights from different perspectives.
    • Added controlled MCP access while keeping the CRA Report Generator as the authoritative source of readiness data.
  4. Performance and Application Database Improvements

    This release introduces Report Generator performance improvements and an updated application database to provide a faster, smoother, and more accurate Chrome Readiness Assessment experience.

    Key Updates

    • Enhanced the performance of the Report Generator to provide faster data processing and a smoother report-generation experience.
    • Updated the CRA application database with the latest application information to improve the accuracy and relevance of application detection, classification, and readiness insights.
  5. Agentic Workflows – Phase Two

    July 08, 2026 | App version 1.20.2

    This release introduces the second phase of Agentic Workflows, expanding the feature to provide Gemini Enterprise-focused workflow automation insights.

  6. Introducing CEP Pre-Deployment Readiness Insights

    June 19, 2026 | App version 1.20.0

    This release introduces CEP Pre-Deployment Readiness Insights, a new capability that helps organizations identify potential blockers before deploying Chrome Enterprise Premium licenses. The feature provides clear visibility into device, network, migration, and policy-related readiness issues that may affect a smooth CEP rollout.

    With these insights, administrators can better understand what is ready, what may need attention, and what could block deployment. The goal is to help teams make informed decisions, address risks early, and ensure a smoother deployment of Chrome Enterprise Premium licenses across the organization.

    Key Updates

    • Introduced CEP Pre-Deployment Readiness Insights to identify potential blockers before Chrome Enterprise Premium license deployment.
    • Added readiness categorization across four key areas: OS & Hardware Compatibility, Migration Friction & Legacy Dependencies, Network & Connectivity Health, and Policy Conflict & Operational Health.
    • Enables administrators to view organization-wide readiness status, including devices that are ready, devices with soft blockers, and devices with hard blockers.
    • Provides clear blocker insights to help teams understand what may prevent or disrupt a successful CEP deployment.
    • Improved Dashboard user interface design for a more intuitive and user-friendly experience.
