What’s new in OpenText Content Aviator
OpenText™ Content Aviator puts an AI content assistant into the hands of business users: one that can act on that content, not just search and summarize content in place. Built on a fully governed, secure foundation, Content Aviator brings secure information management for AI to every user and process. It is available across all OpenText Content Cloud platforms for content management and archiving.
July 2026: What’s new in OpenText Content Aviator 26.2
The 26.2 release of Content Aviator brings a major new set of capabilities and a strong governance foundation for agentic AI. Safety and AI governance are critical to the success of engaging agentic AI in your overall strategies. The combination of agents, new skills, and process-centric knowledge graphs gives your teams what they need to decide, act, and transact safely on your content.
Content Aviator 26.2 puts our vision into practice: governed content now connects to more of the AI systems your teams already use. It goes beyond search and summary to take intelligent action on your content. It becomes the secure, agentic foundation for accessing your information, either directly or through integrations with Microsoft Copilot, Salesforce Agentforce, and Google Gemini Enterprise, providing governance and trust your users can depend on.
Here’s what’s new in 26.2.
Agentic AI opens up a new level of AI content management
Content Aviator expands well beyond search, summary and draft to act on your content. With OpenText Content Management 26.2, here are just a few things you can achieve now with Content Aviator and agentic AI:
Ground your work on the right content through the knowledge graph: Content Aviator orients your work to what you’re working on intelligently, giving a 360-degree view of the most up-to-date information available at any time.
Put agentic AI to work within your processes with business workspace management: Create new workspaces, update metadata, and create relationships between workspaces.
Manage documents and records with ease: Rename, move, copy and change permissions on documents.
Records management: Classify documents, set legal holds, and apply markings or security clearances.
User agent: Look up users, favorite items, and review recently accessed documents.
Generate templated, finished documents, not just drafts: The document generation agent lets users define templates for common business documents and generate a completed document from a single natural-language request; no manual searching or setup required.
Kickoff new workflows: Define prescribed workflows and initiate them from Content Aviator.
The throughline across all of it: less time hunting for information, more time acting on it.
Integrate Content Aviator with leading AI systems for the ultimate context and control
Integrating with the AI systems your organization uses gives users the flexibility to stay “in the zone” and get work done efficiently, while benefiting from safe access to your organization’s critical content when and where they need it. Earlier, we introduced AI integration with Microsoft Copilot and Salesforce Agentforce.
Now, with Google Gemini Enterprise (available with OpenText Core Content Management 26.2), integration gives teams using Gemini Enterprise and Google Workspace direct access to Content Aviator, ensuring proper security permissions and important AI governance controls are applied during AI use on their critical content. Users tap into Content Aviator directly from the Gemini chat interface, keeping content safe beyond policy-driven permissions enforced on every response.
Microsoft Copilot: Inside Microsoft Copilot, users can now see inline citations pointing directly to source documents in OpenText Document Management platforms, a fast way to validate information and locate the business workspace it came from, without ever leaving Copilot.
Salesforce Agentforce: And in OpenText Core Content Management for Salesforce 26.2, users can now open business workspaces directly inside Salesforce Agentforce using natural language. Content Aviator identifies and opens the correct workspace without having to navigate away from their train of thought.
OpenText Documentum Content Management 26.2 brings new flexibility for Content Aviator users
Several key improvements are coming to Content Aviator users with OpenText Documentum Content Management:
AI-driven natural language search: Content Aviator now drives a natural language search, making complex search simple and combining keyword precision with semantic understanding.
Mobile app support: OpenText Documentum Content Management 26.2 now includes Content Aviator within the mobile app for AI content assistance on the go.
Expanded deployment flexibility for deploying OpenText Content Aviator with OpenText Information Archive
OpenText Information Archive 26.2 extends OpenText Content Aviator’s reach with support for more hyperscalers, models and hybrid deployment scenarios, built for organizations with complex environments.

OpenText Content Aviator is now available from Microsoft Copilot

This AI-to-AI integration allows users working in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint to access governed, context-rich enterprise content without leaving the app. The result is faster research, more informed drafting, and greater productivity—while maintaining the security, permissions, and compliance controls enterprises expect from OpenText content management.
