# 10.2026

> October 2026 release notes.

The **October 2026** PolyAI release introduces **AI Scores**: 1–5 conversation scores that you define, graded by AI against your own criteria.

Expand the items below for details:

> **AI Scores: score conversations against your own criteria**
>
> **Rollout date:** October 2026. Available on every project.
>
> [PolyScore](https://docs.poly.ai/analytics/polyscore.md) measures conversation quality the same way for every agent. **AI Scores** let you measure what matters to your business, such as compliance with a policy, accuracy, or a specific outcome.

> **How it works**
>
> * Give the score a name and a description, and choose the channels it applies to: voice, webchat, or both.
> * Add up to five criteria. Each criterion is graded **Good / Fair / Poor** or **Yes / No**, and has a weight. Weights add up to 100%.
> * Optionally, add **exclusion criteria** to skip conversations the score doesn't apply to.
> * After each conversation ends, the AI grades every criterion from the transcript. The criteria combine into a 1–5 score, to one decimal place.
> * Start from scratch or from one of six templates, including **Simplified PolyScore**, **Compliance check**, and **User effort**.
>
> **Where you see AI Scores**
>
> * **Conversations** — one column per active score, with the criteria breakdown on hover, a filter, and a section on the **Scores** tab.
> * **CSV export** — one **AI Score: \<score name>** column per score.
> * **Dashboards** — chart AI Scores on self-serve dashboards. Look under **AI Scores created by you** in the **Metric** field.
> * **Wren** — ask about AI Score averages and trends.
>
> **Limits and access**
>
> * Up to 10 AI Scores per project, with up to 3 active at a time.
> * Only Admins can create and manage AI Scores. Anyone with **Read** on **Conversations** can see the results.
> * AI Scores apply to new conversations only. Turning a score on or editing it doesn't rescore past conversations.
>
> PolyScore is unchanged and keeps running alongside AI Scores.
>
> To get started, go to **Analyze > Analytics**, select **Edit**, then select **AI scores**. See [AI Scores](https://docs.poly.ai/analytics/ai-scores.md) for the full guide.
