Events, Updates & What's New

We are excited to introduce Gennie AI, a powerful new capability that lets you query your safety data using plain English. No more digging through dashboards or building custom reports -- just ask Gennie what you need to know.

What is Gennie?

Gennie is Visionify's AI-powered natural language interface for safety analytics. It understands context about your workplace environment, historical incident data, and current compliance status to deliver instant, actionable answers.

Example Queries

• "How many PPE violations occurred on the warehouse floor last week?"
• "Show me the trend of near-miss incidents in Zone B over the past 3 months"
• "Which shifts have the highest rate of safety compliance?"
• "Compare forklift safety scores across all sites this quarter"

Key Capabilities

• Conversational context: Gennie remembers your previous questions within a session, so you can drill down naturally
• Chart generation: Automatically creates visual charts and graphs from your data
• Export support: Download query results as CSV or PDF for compliance reporting
• Role-aware responses: Gennie respects your access permissions and only shows data you are authorized to view

Getting Started

Gennie is available now for all Enterprise plan customers. Access it from the new "Ask Gennie" button in your dashboard toolbar. Pro plan customers will receive access in the coming weeks.

Visionify now integrates natively with Microsoft Teams, enabling your safety team to receive real-time alerts directly in the channels where they already collaborate.

How It Works

Once connected, Visionify sends formatted alert cards to your designated Teams channels whenever a safety event is detected. Each card includes:

• Event type and severity with color-coded indicators
• Snapshot image from the camera that detected the event
• Location details including site, zone, and camera name
• Quick action buttons to acknowledge, escalate, or view the full event in your Visionify dashboard

Setup

1. Navigate to Settings > Integrations in your Visionify dashboard
2. Click Connect next to Microsoft Teams
3. Authorize the Visionify app in your Teams admin portal
4. Select which channels should receive alerts
5. Configure alert routing rules by event type and severity

Alert Routing

You can create granular routing rules to ensure the right people see the right alerts. For example, send critical PPE violations to your safety managers channel while routing general compliance updates to a broader team channel.

Availability

This integration is available on all Pro and Enterprise plans at no additional cost. It joins our existing integrations with Slack, email, and SMS alerting.

We have completely redesigned the zone drawing tool based on feedback from hundreds of customers. The new tool makes it faster and more intuitive to define safety monitoring zones across your camera feeds.

What Changed

• Snap-to-grid: Optionally enable a grid overlay for precise zone placement
• Polygon support: Draw complex, multi-point zones instead of being limited to rectangles
• Zone templates: Save and reuse common zone shapes across multiple cameras
• Bulk editing: Select multiple zones and update their properties (sensitivity, alert rules, schedule) simultaneously
• Undo/redo: Full history support so you can experiment without fear of losing your configuration

Improved Performance

The drawing canvas now renders at 60fps even on lower-powered devices, and zones update in real-time without requiring a page refresh. We also reduced the initial load time by 40% by switching to a WebGL-based renderer.

Migration

Your existing zones are automatically preserved. No action is needed on your part. The new tool is available immediately in the Camera Configuration section of your dashboard.

Feedback

We would love to hear how the new zone drawing tool works for your team. Use the feedback button in the bottom-right corner of the tool or reach out to your account manager directly.

We are launching API v2, a major upgrade to the Visionify developer platform. The headline feature is native webhook support, enabling you to build event-driven integrations without polling.

Webhooks

Subscribe to real-time events and receive HTTP POST callbacks to your endpoints whenever something happens in Visionify:

• event.detected -- A safety event is detected by any camera
• event.acknowledged -- An event is acknowledged by a team member
• alert.triggered -- An alert rule fires
• camera.status_changed -- A camera goes online or offline
• report.generated -- A scheduled report is ready for download

Each webhook payload includes a cryptographic signature so you can verify authenticity.

Other API v2 Improvements

• Pagination: Cursor-based pagination for all list endpoints
• Filtering: Rich query parameters for filtering events by date range, severity, zone, and camera
• Batch operations: Create, update, or delete multiple resources in a single request
• Rate limiting: Increased limits with clear headers indicating your remaining quota
• OpenAPI spec: Full OpenAPI 3.1 specification available for code generation

Migration from v1

API v1 will continue to function for the next 12 months. We recommend migrating to v2 at your earliest convenience. See our migration guide for step-by-step instructions.

Authentication

API v2 uses the same API key authentication as v1. No changes to your existing credentials are required.

For organizations managing safety across multiple facilities, we are introducing the Multi-Site Analytics Dashboard -- a unified view that aggregates safety metrics from all your sites into a single, actionable overview.

Dashboard Highlights

• Site comparison matrix: Compare key safety KPIs side-by-side across all your locations
• Heatmap view: See which sites and zones have the highest concentration of safety events on an interactive map
• Trend analysis: Track how each site's safety performance evolves over weeks and months
• Automated ranking: Sites are automatically ranked by safety score, helping you identify which facilities need attention

Custom Metrics

Define your own composite safety scores by weighting different event types according to your organization's priorities. For example, you might weight PPE violations higher than housekeeping issues, or prioritize forklift near-misses above other event categories.

Scheduled Reports

Set up automated weekly or monthly reports that are emailed to stakeholders. Each report includes:

• Executive summary with key metrics and trends
• Site-by-site breakdown with sparkline charts
• Top incidents requiring follow-up
• Compliance score tracking against your targets

Access

The Multi-Site Analytics Dashboard is available to all Enterprise plan customers with two or more active sites. Navigate to Analytics > Multi-Site in your dashboard to get started.
