When you search for something via the search bar on the EC home page, you are navigated to a new AI Search experience that

• Understands and respects user intent
• Presents the top results and next actions that best match the query across all sources: VA Topics, Catalog Items, and Q&A.
• Guides the requesters to ask follow-up questions and
• Completes requests in a GenAI-powered conversational experience.

As part of this experience, you also have access to a right-hand panel to open new chats, manage previous conversations, and also connect with live agents seamlessly.

Now Assist for Virtual Agent enhancement with a Dynamic Window:

We have also enhanced the experience of using Now Assist with Virtual Agent to align with enhancements made on the search experience.

You can pin the chat to the side of the browser but you can still resize this window to fill half the browser, if required.

It is observed that pinning chat windows may create responsiveness issues on the following screen resolutions and pixel range.

• For homepage, my tasks page, my favorites page, and my applications page: Range between 600px and 800px.
• For topic page: Below 1413px.

To fix this, ensure you avoid pinning the chat window and resizing on these screen resolutions.
