Here are some highlights of our work from December 2024 through February 2025.
Document Assembly Line website
- Style guide updates. Quinten made lots of additions, updates, and refinements to the interview-building style guide, and gave a workshop on user experience design best practices for online guided interviews.
- LLM documentation. Quinten also updated the documentation for the ALToolbox module for working with OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
- ALKiln documentation. Michelle has been working on improving the ALKiln documentation together with her work on the tool itself.
- Updated front page. Sam updated the front page of the Document Assembly Line website and refreshed the colors and branding.

Trainings!
This week we kick off our first round of interview-building trainings! This cohort is full, but you can sign up to be notified of future training opportunities.
Software updates
It has been a relatively quiet quarter for software updates, which speaks to the maturity of the AL software components, but here are some notable updates:
- AssemblyLine
- The question library now includes complete, up-to-date Spanish translations
- Digital signatures now include a backwards-compatible /s/ option required by some courts
- The end-screen send button label and icon can now be customized
- ALKiln. Michelle has been working on constrained random input tests for easier and more effective interview testing, as well as improved testing logs. Stay tuned!
- E-filing. In our 2024 Q4 update we shared the news that we hired an e-filing developer, Ary. She has been busy getting oriented and doing the initial work necessary to take our e-filing software components to the next stage of development.
As usual there were a number of maintenance updates. For more detailed release notes, see these links.
