Spring has arrived in the northern hemisphere and with it comes our latest quarterly release, Halon Engage 15. This isn’t just a new version. It’s a huge step in our broader journey: to reimagine email operations.
Halon Engage 15 is a follow on from our previous launch which introduced Delivery Guru: Bounce Classification, our AI-powered bounce classification and remediation component. This release offers even more AI-enabled innovation, which will make your email operations more efficient and your infrastructure more performant, scalable, and competitive.
At Halon, we believe AI should be a natural part of every email infrastructure workflow — from diagnostics to development. After introducing Delivery Guru last quarter to automate bounce classification, we're now expanding that vision into engineering.
Code Companion is our new AI-based assistant integrated directly into Visual Studio Code. It helps engineers author and troubleshoot both Halon's scripting language (HSL) and YAML-based configuration files with greater speed and confidence. Code Companion integrates directly with Visual Studio Code to help you:
Whether you’re new to Halon or an experienced developer, Code Companion serves as an intelligent assistant that reduces time to build and increases code quality.
It’s available now in the Visual Studio Marketplace and here’s the manual on how to get started with Code Companion.
And there’s more to come. Code Companion and Delivery Guru are early chapters in our larger roadmap to embed intelligence across the entire email pipeline—automating decisions, accelerating diagnostics, and enhancing control.
We reimagined Delivery Insights from the ground up, based on real-world workflows from operations and deliverability teams. The result? A clearer, faster, and more actionable experience that transforms how you manage delivery:
With the all-new, all-powerful Delivery Insights, you can now reduce diagnosis time, take proactive action, and understand long-term delivery trends. It’s Delivery Insights, but smarter.
Halon Engage 15 introduces an OpenMetrics compatible monitoring endpoint to power orchestrators like Kubernetes and HAProxy. It exposes deep visibility into:
This will make your infrastructure more elastic and observable than ever before.
