+     - Splunk Cloud Platform users can speed up root cause analysis and IT investigations in the Search app with a new :guilabel:`AI Assistant` tab in the :guilabel:`Related Content` panel. Now the :guilabel:`Related Content` panel shows you not only the context of your issues with observability data, but also provides troubleshooting steps and additional information about the health of your services on the :guilabel:`AI Assistant` tab. Available for customers who have AI Assistant in Observability Cloud and Unified Identity enabled.

+     - Splunk Synthetic Monitoring now supports recurring downtime configurations. Recurring downtimes allow you to sync with your scheduled maintenance windows or planned/unplanned downtimes and keep them from impacting your monitoring metrics or SLAs.

+     - Splunk Synthetic Monitoring now supports tests that need to send a time-based one-time passcode (TOTP) to their test target.
