Rasa recently released new versions of Rasa 1.3 and Rasa X 0.21 that focus on improving developer workflows for building, improving, and deploying conversational AI assistants. Some key areas of focus include integrating domain knowledge, improving response generation, a new response editor in Rasa X, visualizing conversation flows through multi-story graphs, and increasing scalability.
