Alpha Features

Welcome to the mindzie Alpha Program. Alpha features are experimental capabilities that we're opening up to select tenants who want to be part of our early release program.

Current Alpha Features

The following capabilities are available to alpha testers:

Task Mining Agent, version 2

A small Windows program that records how work is done on a computer and turns each recording into a report and an event log you can load into mindzie. Download it directly; no PreRelease flag is needed.

What is Alpha?

Alpha features are works-in-progress. They represent functionality that is most likely coming to mindzieStudio, but we're still testing and refining them. Some features may change significantly before general release, and in rare cases, a feature may not make it into the final product at all.

Why participate?

We release Alpha features early because we want real-world feedback from users like you. By trying these features, you help shape how they work and ensure they solve actual problems. Your input directly influences what gets built.

Important considerations:

  • Use Alpha features at your own risk - they are not production-ready
  • Expect bugs, incomplete documentation, and occasional breaking changes
  • Features may be modified or removed based on feedback and technical decisions
  • These features are only available to tenants with PreRelease enabled

Current Alpha Features

Task Mining Agent, version 2

A Windows program that records how a person does their work - applications, screens, clicks and field entries - and writes a report and an event log for each recording, ready to load into mindzie for process analysis. It is a separate download rather than a tenant feature, so it does not need PreRelease enabled. Its documentation now lives in the Process Intelligence docs: see Task Mining Agent, version 2.

ML Studio has graduated. It is now generally available to every tenant, with no PreRelease flag required. Its documentation lives at ML Studio; the old /alpha/ml-studio links now point there.

How to Enable Alpha Features

Alpha features require PreRelease to be enabled for your tenant. Contact your mindzie administrator or support@mindzie.com to request access.

Once PreRelease is enabled:

  1. Log out and log back in to refresh your session
  2. Alpha features will appear in their respective locations
  3. Look for features marked with "(Alpha)" in their names

Providing Feedback

We welcome feedback on alpha features! Your input helps shape these features before general release:

  • Email: support@mindzie.com
  • Subject: Include "Alpha Feedback: [Feature Name]"
  • Include: What you were trying to do, what happened, and what you expected

Your feedback directly influences the development of these features.

What to Expect from Alpha Features

Alpha features are:

  • Experimental: Core functionality works but may have rough edges
  • Evolving: Behavior and UI may change between updates
  • Limited Support: Documentation may be incomplete
  • Valuable: Your early testing helps improve the final product
