AI That Thinks Out Loud: Introducing Configurable Reasoning in AI Workspace

The Problem

In today's workplace, AI is already handling substantial workloads – summarising documents, generating content, and responding to queries. But for many users, the process still feels opaque. You ask a question. You get an answer. But you're often left wondering how that answer was formed.

Our latest upgrade in AI Workspace solves that.

Why Transparency in AI Matters Now

Imagine you're a customer support agent drafting a troubleshooting email. As the AI generates the content, you see its reasoning unfold in real time – from retrieving past ticket history to referencing product documentation. You’re not just receiving an output – you're witnessing the AI's logic.

That's the power of reasoning-capable AI – now transparent and configurable in AI Workspace.

Previously, this lack of visibility created a trust gap. Now, with configurable reasoning steps, AI Workspace allows organisations to control how much of the AI's thought process is revealed – from high-level summaries to detailed, step-by-step reasoning. The result? AI that's more explainable, adaptable, and aligned to your team's context.

What’s New: Key Capabilities

  • Admin Control Over Reasoning Depth – AI admins can customise reasoning visibility across teams and scenarios.
  • Live Reasoning Display – Real-time updates during AI content generation (e.g. “Analysing customer issue”, “Referencing documentation”).
  • Reasoning Traceability – Every output includes a transparent logic chain, aiding audits, training, and debugging.
  • Future-Ready Architecture – Lays the foundation for further explainability and alignment tooling.

Real-World Scenario: Smarter Support Emails

Use case: A customer reports their fridge isn’t cooling. The agent asks AI Workspace to draft a response.

Here’s what unfolds:

  • “Getting customer issue” – Pulls context from historical tickets.
  • “Analysing customer issue” – Identifies root causes (e.g. compressor failure).
  • “Looking for product documentation” – Finds relevant manuals.
  • “Thinking about a response” – Structures a clear message.
  • “Drafting email content” – Outputs a send-ready response.

The result: A message the agent understands – and trusts.

Who It’s Built For

Why It Matters

This upgrade directly addresses three common pain points:

  • Limited Explainability – Previously, users couldn’t see how AI made decisions. Now, each step is visible.
  • Lack of Configurability – Teams need different levels of insight. Now, admins control that.
  • Underused Model Power – Advanced models already supported reasoning – now the platform surfaces it.

In short: you gain clarity, control, and confidence.

Real AI Use Cases from NZ PTEs Tackling NZQA Compliance

NZQA compliance isn’t optional - but the way we manage it is ripe for transformation. Across Aotearoa, forward-thinking PTEs are beginning to ask: How can we shift from reactive compliance to proactive quality assurance - without drowning our teams in admin? The answer, increasingly, is AI. And it’s not hypothetical. Here are real, operational AI use cases from New Zealand’s tertiary sector that are already reshaping how providers stay aligned, audit-ready, and focused on learning - not paperwork.

Drowning in Admin, Falling Behind on Outcomes: The Quiet Crisis in NZ’s Private Training Sector

Every hour your tutors spend battling paperwork is an hour stolen from your learners. In the high-stakes, low-margin world of private tertiary education, that cost is unsustainable - and increasingly, it’s a risk to your very viability.
