Helio Product updates [24 September 2026]

Search All: Beta [EU Monitoring] We have rolled out a new Search All feature for our EU clients. This new feature is currently in beta and allows you to search across Posts, Events and Procedures all at once, helping you surface relevant information in one place. The new search function uses AI-powered smart search which returns results based on relevance and matched against key words and semantic matches.

New table of contents [EU Monitoring]: We have introduced a new table of contents for EU alert emails. The table of contents makes long emails containing many content sources easier to digest and navigate so clients can see at a glance the contents of an email and jump to the most relevant information.  

Enhanced AI Summaries (EU automated emails): We have made improvements to the AI summaries in our automated email, to provide richer, more insightful, and easier-to-read descriptions of the content’s substance, ‘so what’ and next steps.

  • In addition to this, for all EU alert emails, we have removed the purple AI stars to make the length of the emails shorter. Instead, there is a disclaimer at the bottom of these emails so you know that the content has been generated by AI.

Content library search [UK Monitoring]: We have added a new search bar to the Content Library in the UK. This also uses AI-powered smart search to return results based on keyword and semantic matching.  

Smart search [UK + EU Monitoring]: We have enhanced search functionality across the platform. The smart search that appears in the new Search All feature, is also available across Posts, Procedures and Events for EU clients, and Content Library for UK clients and Notes for Forefront clients. This is an AI-powered search returns results based on keyword and semantic matches, and ranks them according to relevance and how recent the content is.

Notes [UK Monitoring]: We have added a Notes tab to MP profiles. Here clients can add ad hoc notes to specific MPs for their own reference, making it easier to keep relevant context and information in one place.

Improvements to Civil Servant & Councillor profiles [UK Monitoring]: To help unify the SRM experience across all stakeholders, we have updated Civil Servant and Councillor profiles so they too show logged activity. Councillor profiles also show which groups they’re part of and we will soon make this available on Civil Servant profiles as well.
