AI Chat Goldsince 4.0.481

Ask questions about your DNA matches, trees and segments in plain English. AI Chat runs on an AI provider you choose. The AI Chat button now shows for every member; pressing it without Gold explains that it’s a Gold feature.

People Goldsince 4.0.481

The People pages now keep your people in a GDAT database, so the people you add, merge and research in the Client are the same people GDAT sees.

• A rebuilt fan chart, and a Loading people… panel — large lists now open in a couple of seconds instead of 10–20.
• Merges no longer join two people on name alone, and inverted relatives are fixed.
• Batch WikiTree work (matching, connect, clustering, health checks) and Ancestral Hubs use the hosted DNAGedcom WikiTree service, signed in with your DNAGedcom login. A WikiTree service URL set in Settings still takes priority.

Push to GDAT Goldsince 4.0.481, much improved in 4.0.486–487

Send your gathered kits, matches, shared matches, segments and trees straight into a GDAT file.

• Writes data the way GDAT’s own import does: segments GDAT can draw, dates, notes, links, locations and relationships.
• Select all, and your own ticks and groups are kept when you pick the GDAT file — only kits new to the list are pre-ticked, and you’re asked before new people are added to GDAT.
• Kits pushed by older builds show Out of date; pushing again repairs them. Damaged GDAT files are refused before anything is written.
• Living DNA kits and their segments are now pushed. 23andMe shared matches carry their shared cM instead of 0. Ancestry tree places are filled in, including ancestors who appear twice in a tree (cousin marriages).
• Automatic push only adds a new kit to a GDAT file the Client created, never to your own file.

AI Review in Warthen Interactive Cluster Goldnew in 4.0.488

A new AI Review tab writes a review of a cluster: a summary, the evidence, cautions, numbered next research steps and a confidence level. Review all clusters reviews the 25 clusters with the strongest matches and then writes an overview of the whole list.

• Your matches’ names stay on your computer. Each match is sent as a label ([M1], [M2], …) and the names are put back only on your screen. Every request is checked for match names before it goes.
• A Tree sharing slider sets how much tree detail goes with a review: DNA only, common ancestors, surnames and places (the default), ancestors up to five generations, or everyone in each member’s tree. The setting is remembered.
• A Run on choice picks where the review runs: the DNAGedcom AI service — DNAGedcom’s own AI server, signed in with your Gold login, with no AI account or setup of your own needed — or My AI provider, the cloud or local AI you set up in AI Chat. On the DNAGedcom AI service a review is queued, collected when it’s done, and deleted from the service straight away.
• Each report, and exactly what was sent for it, is saved as a text file next to your database.

Interactive Chromosome Matrix Goldnew in 4.0.488

A new Autosomal page that shows the Chromosome Matrix (CMA) data and grouping one chromosome at a time, as a matrix you can zoom, pan and click. Below the matrix, for each segment group:

• the group’s segments, and ancestors common to two or more of its matches;
• Other Parent? — pairs whose segments overlap but who don’t match each other, which usually means they match you through different parents (needs 15 cM of overlap by default, with its own setting);
• an AI review of one group, or of the strongest 25 with an overview, on the DNAGedcom AI service or your own AI provider. Overlaps are called triangulation candidates, never confirmed triangulation.

A Min overlap setting (default 7 cM; 0 gives the CMA’s own groups) keeps each group to segments that really cover the same stretch. The existing CMA page and its reports are unchanged.
