July 13, 2026. OpenRules Release 12.1.0 is a minor release that introduces the OpenRules AI Assistant — a tool for testing decision models in plain English and simulating various end-user interaction scenarios.
To illustrate its capabilities, we use the “Loan Selection” decision model, which helps bank customers find the right loan. We present an actual dialogue between a loan applicant and the decision model, explain how to configure the OpenRules AI Assistant, and provide the decision model’s implementation details.
For licensed customers, we have introduced a new, more secure graphical interface for registration and release downloads. Customers can now access both previous and current OpenRules releases and manage their own passwords.
Other Improvements:
- Support for SpringBoot 4.x
- This release requires Java 17 or later – see the updated Prerequisites
- Upgraded to the latest AWS SDK for Java 2.x (relevant if you deploy OpenRules decision models as AWS Lambda functions)
- Updated Maven plugin to support corporate customers with limited access to the external repositories.
