New Features

AskEcho for EchoPoll

EchoPoll now uses the shared AskEcho AI platform to generate poll questions from presentation slide content. Create Multiple Choice, Multiple Select, True/False, and Short Answer questions, with generated questions and thumbnails added directly to the deck.

Additional Improvements

Improved handling for generated question thumbnails so newly created AI questions appear without requiring a page refresh.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where AI question generation could fail with a 500 error for certain slides, including presentations containing image-only slide content.
• Addressed session recovery handling related to EchoPoll PowerPoint workflows where a user could be unable to end a session after learner responses were submitted.
• Fixed an EchoPoll+ issue where the join code slide now generates correctly on macOS 27.
