The ListBox component gets a usability boost with more intuitive selection options that help users move through lists with less friction. Whether they’re choosing a single item or working through multiple entries, selection now feels cleaner and more predictable. You can tailor how items behave on click or keyboard navigation, so the component matches the flow of your app instead of forcing users into rigid patterns. It’s a small change that makes the ListBox noticeably easier to work with.

Angular Chat & Updates to Conversational UI
New capabilities that make building chat and AI assistant experiences faster.
The Angular Conversational UI Chat component has been updated with richer message rendering, flexible data binding and guided flows through quick actions and suggested replies, described in the updated Suggested Actions section. Developers can fine‑tune conversations using configurable message toolbars, templates, attachments and typing indicators through the enhanced ChatComponent API. This release brings a more polished conversational experience designed to help teams ship modern assistants with less customization work and faster iteration. It is a strong step toward building fully branded AI driven interactions directly in Angular.
For setup guidance and examples, see the main Conversational UI Overview.
Diagram Tooltips – Clear insight right where users need it
The Diagram component now gives your users instant clarity with built-in tooltips for shapes and connections. Whether they're exploring a workflow or navigating an org chart, key details surface the moment they hover, helping them move faster and stay focused. You can apply tooltips across the entire diagram or fine tune them per item, and you still get full control over the look and feel through simple templating options. It’s a lightweight upgrade that adds real usability power without complicating your setup.
PDFViewer Form Filling - Enable interactive, in-document data entry
The new Form Filling feature in the Angular PDFViewer lets users complete PDF forms directly inside your application. Instead of downloading files or switching tools, audiences can type into text fields, select checkboxes and submit information instantly. This creates a smoother, more modern experience for onboarding, applications and workflow-driven forms.
See examples and configuration details in the PDFViewer Form Filling documentation.
Prompt Controls for your Data Grid
The new Angular Grid AI Toolbar Assistant brings an AI powered, conversational layer to the Kendo UI for Angular Data Grid so users can talk to your data instead of hunting through menus and filters. From a single toolbar component, end users can type natural language prompts to sort, filter, group or page records, manage columns, highlight or select rows and even export to Excel or PDF using the Smart Grid capabilities. Developers can plug in their own domain aware AI service with flexible AI service integration options, choosing between automatic request handling, controlled flows with requestOptions or fully manual prompts through promptRequest events. Because the tool is built on the AIPrompt customization and Window components, you can tailor prompt suggestions, enable speech to text and align the assistant window with your application branding while keeping the Grid configuration in sync.
