April 2026 — Thank You, Community!
Hi everyone
@trust_level_1
April is almost done and I wanted to take a moment to say thank you to the people who keep this forum alive. A lot happened this month — AKA #10, two new releases, a webinar, and some really good discussions. So let’s give credit where it’s due. ![]()
Bug Hunter of the Month
@arvind.choudhary
Your bug report on the 11.0.1 execution profile freeze (link) had everything our team needed: version info, steps to reproduce, what you expected vs. what happened, and even a workaround. Our engineering team got straight to work because of how clear your post was. ![]()
You also showed up in AKA #10 with strong questions on audit and reproducibility for AI-driven actions. Thank you for staying engaged.
Veteran of the Month
@kazurayam
You’ve been around the forum for a long time, and April was no different. On the 11.0.1 bug thread, you jumped in with screenshots and asked the right clarifying questions so the issue could be triaged faster. We appreciate you. ![]()
Best Questions of the Month
@Slowey
On April 20 you asked a bunch of really good questions in AKA #10:
- Which new agent creates the fastest “aha” moment for a new team?
- Can I trace a Kai-generated test back to the exact prompt and model version?
- What’s the honest tradeoff when a team adopts True Platform?
Questions like these help the whole community think better. Thanks for asking them.
Real Feedback
@grylion54
Your post about dynamic HTML references in Dynamics 365 (thread) was honest and detailed. You told us where the tool isn’t working for you, and that kind of feedback helps us more than you know.
The reply from @vi.kim with tips on label-based anchoring, data-dyn-controlname, Smart Locator, and JS fallbacks is a thread worth bookmarking. ![]()
Welcome to the Forum
@TheCodister
New to Katalon, but already asking good questions in AKA #10 — about support, about the underlying AI model, about bringing your own key. Great energy. Welcome in. ![]()
For anyone wondering: the model behind Katalon AI in True Platform right now is GPT 5.2, and yes, you can use your own AI key from Katalon Studio preferences. Thanks @athul.kannan for confirming.
More Shout-outs
- @akshay_sartabe — for raising the need for shared Agent context across team members
