WitnessAI Release: January 13, 2026

Release Date: Jan 13, 2026

New Features

Policy Guardrail Alert Severity Customization

This release introduces a new tiered Alert Severity system and grants policy authors control over alert severity levels. This change addresses the key customer problem of all Alerts being set to ‘High’ severity, which previously made prioritization and triage difficult. The Witness AI platform is now more actionable by allowing customers to focus on the most critical alerts.Key Highlights of this Release
