July 2025 Binti Release: Unlocking New Possibilities With Smarter Tools for Licensing, Placements, and Beyond
July has been all about expanding what’s possible in Binti. We’re excited to share a powerful set of enhancements designed to bring more clarity, flexibility, and efficiency to your day-to-day work. Whether you're navigating multi-license households, filtering key dates, managing congregate care placements, or reviewing critical documents, these updates were built with your feedback at the core.
We also rolled out fixes that ensure the data you rely on is accurate, relevant, and easy to access. Read on to explore what’s new!
✨ New Features and Enhancements
AI & Transcription
- More Control Over Document Uploads – Previously, uploading a document with Binti AI meant you could pre-fill forms, a helpful way to reduce data entry.
Now, you have even more flexibility. After selecting a file, you’ll see a new prompt:
“What would you like to do with your file?”
They can choose:
- ✅ Create a case note using the file’s content
- ✅ Fill form answers using Binti AI, selecting forms from a filterable list
Whether you want to document information, complete forms, or both, you’re in control of how Binti AI supports your work.
Licensing
- Filter by Custom Key Dates – You asked, we delivered! Agencies that use custom key dates can now filter by them directly from any tab of the Application Dashboard.
- Family Map Enhancements – The Family Map just got more informative! You’ll now see family tags and the “How did the applicant hear about us?” question right on the map for improved context.
Smarter Handling of Children in Home Requirement History – When a child is removed from a home, we now:
- ✅ Retain all historical application requirements
- ✅ Move fulfilled current application requirements to the “Other / Miscellaneous” section
- ✅ Only allow deletion of children in home records with no requirement activity
These changes ensure agencies retain a complete audit trail and avoid accidental data loss.
Placements
- Level of Care for Congregate Care Placements – Need to track specific care levels? A new “Level of Care” section has been added to the Edit Placement Information page for Congregate Care Facilities. Use the multi-select field to tag appropriate care levels for each facility.
Family Finding
- Locked Logged Contacts – Finalized contacts can now be locked, preventing any further edits and preserving the integrity of your documentation.
- Locked Relationship Details – Key relationship fields, including category, description, partner status, and lineage, can now be locked after confirmation, appearing as plain text to prevent accidental changes.
- Confidential Relationship Dashboards – For sealed or confidential children, the Relationships Dashboard is now only visible to users with the right permissions, keeping sensitive data secure.
🔧 Fixes
Licensing
- Smarter Expired Document Filters – For Expired Documents rows won't appear if a newer, valid document exists, even if an old version is expired.
- Clearer Spanish Self-Sign Up – We cleaned up placeholder text and improved dropdown labels in the Spanish applicant experience, replacing “Cambiar a Initial Application” with “Cambiar a Solicitud Inicial” and more.
- Better Error Messages for Applicants – Error messages on applicant forms are now more precise—waived forms won’t be flagged as incomplete when other items like references or agency-signed documents are the real blockers.
- Caseload Report Fix for Renewals – The “Renewals Due Within 60 Days” column now links to the correct data, no longer including overdue renewals in the filtered dashboard.
Family Finding
Bulk Email Logos Display Properly Again – Your agency branding now appears as expected in bulk emails. Logos that previously went missing are back!
AI & Transcription
.DOCX Uploads Now Fully Supported – We’ve fixed an issue where .docx files weren’t fully processed by transcription. Now these files generate accurate case notes and form prefill suggestions, just like other supported formats.
