HQi 8.3 Is Here: More Control, Better Insights, Faster Workflows

Managing investor communications demands speed, precision, and security. The release of HQi 8.3 introduces a powerful suite of upgrades designed to streamline workflows, harness intelligent AI, and improve the user experience for both IR teams and investors.

From deeper analytical insights to smarter AI integrations and tighter security, here is a breakdown of the key features now available in HQi 8.3.

1. Smarter, More AI-assisted tools for Investor Communications

HQi 8.3 takes AI-assisted workflows further by giving you more choice, more control, and more automation. Whether it’s generating multiple summary options, aligning content to your brand voice, instantly preparing price-sensitive announcements, or simplifying shareholder reporting, these updates are designed to reduce manual effort and speed up your communications

More AI Summary Options

Not all ASX announcements require the same tone. You can now generate up to three distinct AI summary options for a single announcement. This gives your team the flexibility to choose the best angle or mix and match the drafts for a perfect final edit.

Instance-Level AI Prompt Personalisation

Your brand voice matters. Each HQi instance can now host its own unique AI prompt settings, manageable under Settings. If left unconfigured, it defaults to the global setting. This ensures your AI-generated summaries match your company’s specific tone, style, and channel requirements.

Auto Summary Generation for Price-Sensitive News

For IR teams, every second counts when price-sensitive information hits the market. HQi can now automatically generate AI summaries for price-sensitive ASX announcements across external distribution channels (outside the main website). This toggle-on feature ensures your market-moving news gets compiled instantly.

AI-Assisted Top 20 Shareholders Upload

Presenting top shareholders manually on your website can be tedious. HQi 8.3 introduces an AI-assisted upload process that accepts Excel, CSV, or PDF formats. The system intelligently extracts and structures the data for quick review and publication.

2. Streamlined Newsroom Workflows

Time is of the essence when market-sensitive news drops. HQi 8.3 introduces features to speed up approvals without compromising on security.

Secure Zero-Login Editing

Finalise your news faster with new secure links that take you directly from your inbox to your pending announcement. You can edit text instantly without a full login. These links are “single-news only” and time-bound, ensuring your CMS security is never compromised for the sake of speed.

Faster AI Summary Creation from Approval Emails

The approval email templates have been redesigned for maximum efficiency. A new direct-access button lets you jump straight from your inbox into the relevant ASX announcement to generate an AI summary with limited, secured access. Once the workflow is completed, reusing the link automatically redirects to the login page.

3. Smarter Analytics & Deeper Insights

Improved HQi Analytics

Understanding your investor audience just got easier. HQi’s analytics now features an expanded reporting window, supporting up to 180 days of data (double the previous capacity).

• Key Metrics: Seamlessly track vital data such as active users and ASX announcement views.
• Easy Sharing: Reports can now be generated as PDFs and automatically emailed as attachments, making boardroom updates a breeze.

4. Simplified Data Handling & Enhanced UX

New ASX Announcement List Page Display

Give your investors a cleaner browsing experience. A new display option allows ASX announcements to be grouped logically by month and year on your website. It also highlights critical meta-information like price-sensitive status, announcement type, and features an integrated search.

5. Security & Technical Enhancements

HQi 8.3 includes improvements to SEO, CMS navigation, password reset security, search, and general interface performance. These refinements work behind the scenes to deliver a faster, more reliable experience every time you or your investors.
