What's new in Jutro Digital Platform for Palisades

Developer Assistant MCP (Early Access)

Powered by Model Context Protocol (MCP), the Developer Assistant MCP represents a new architecture for enhanced AI-assisted development with Claude Code. It is an evolution of the Developer Assistant platform that leverages:

• MCP functionality: A standard protocol for AI agents to access tools and resources.
• Best practice guides: Curated guidelines and best practices for Jutro development.
• Intelligent documentation search: RAG-based access to Jutro documentation.
• Okta authentication: Secure access to Developer Assistant backend services.

For more details on Developer Assistant MCP, see Developer Assistant MCP overview.

Jutro template knowledge inside the Developer Assistant MCP

Developer Assistant for Jutro now surfaces curated knowledge from the Jutro templates directly through the Developer Assistant MCP server. This gives developers in-IDE access to up‑to‑date template patterns, component usage guidance, and recommended best practices when working with Jutro experience templates.

Alternative import paths introduced for some components

In accordance with our non-breaking changes policies, components deprecated during the lifetime of Jutro 10 did not have their import paths changed. Additionally, replacements for deprecated components were added to the @jutro/components/new import path.

In a future major release, we plan to update these import paths, and in order to help the transition go smoothly you can start using these new import paths in Jutro 10.13 and above.

You can continue to use the old import paths, but we strongly recommend you update as soon as possible. To help make this transition as easy as possible, we have added new codemods that can be used to update your applications to the new import paths. You can find the codemods in the Jutro Digital Platform Release Notes.

New drop-down menu avatar component

A new DropdownMenuAvatar component has been added to the Jutro Design System. This component is a type of avatar that functions like a drop-down menu button. When a user clicks the avatar, it opens a drop-down menu.

Enhancements to the table component

The Table component has been enhanced with implementation support for filtering and row expansion. The main improvements to the component include:

• New coordinate system supporting row expansion with sub-row indexing.
• Updated keyboard navigation that handles movement between rows and sub-rows.

Review the Storybook examples to understand how you can implement these features in your application.

The TableEmptyState and TableLoader components that handle empty and loading states of the table have been updated with context-aware height scaling. This update prevents distracting UI flickering and shifting by ensuring that loaders and empty states occupy the same vertical space as the preceding dataset, resulting in a smoother interface.

New behavior of the decimal places prop for the number input component

The behavior of the decimalPlaces prop for the NumberInput component has been changed. The user is now prevented from entering additional digits past the decimalPlaces limit. For example, if decimalPlaces is 2 then the user cannot enter a third digit after the decimal point.

If initialValue or value properties have more digits than the allowed value, the component rounds the displayed value to the nearest valid number. For more information, see the Jutro Digital Platform Release Notes.

New property for setting the number of decimal places on a currency input

The CurrencyInput component now has a decimalPlaces property, with a default value of 2. You can use this to limit how many digits a user can add to a CurrencyInput value. For example, if decimalPlaces is 2 then the user cannot enter a third digit after the decimal point.

If initialValue or value properties have more digits than the allowed value, the component rounds the displayed value to the nearest valid number. To test the behavior, see the Jutro Digital Platform Release Notes.

New set of AI icons

A new set of AI action icons has been added to the Jutro Design System. These icons are designed to represent various AI-related actions, such as generating content, searching data, or providing insights.

Accessibility standards compliance

The Jutro Design System components have been validated to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 standards.

These internationally recognized guidelines define how to make digital content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments. This includes ensuring:

• The contrast ratio of textual elements against their background is above 4.5:1.
• Non-textual content that needs to convey meaning (like icons and focus indicators) has a contrast ratio of at least 3:1 with its adjacent colors.
• The item is operable using a keyboard, as well as using a mouse.
• Content is accessible using screen readers, such as JAWS and VoiceOver.

Extending linters configuration with validation against Cloud Standards

Cloud Standards validation is now integrated into ESLint and Stylelint configurations.

It ensures compliance with Jutro's public APIs by detecting:

• Non-official imports
• Custom design tokens using the reserved jds namespace
• Internal CSS variables
• Undeclared dependencies

This validation helps prevent technical debt and avoid security vulnerabilities while catching violations early in development.

The configuration is enabled by default as warnings, not errors, to prevent disruptions during development. It integrates with existing linting setups without conflicts, making it easier to maintain consistent and secure Jutro applications.

Deprecations

There are deprecations in this release. See the list of deprecations for more details.

Codemods introduced to the Jutro CLI

We have added the ability to run codemods using the Jutro CLI. Codemods can be used to run automated changes to your application code to help maintain and update your applications.

jutro codemod:apply --name <CodemodName>

Alternative import paths introduced for some APIs

In accordance with our non-breaking changes policies, features deprecated during the lifetime of Jutro 10 did not have their import paths changed.

In a future major release, we plan to update these import paths, and in order to help the transition go smoothly you can start using these new import paths in Jutro 10.13 and above.

You can continue to use the old import paths, but we strongly recommend you update as soon as possible. To help make this transition as easy as possible, we have added new codemods that can be used to update your applications to the new import paths. You can find the codemods in the Jutro Digital Platform Release Notes.

New Quote and Buy Foundation Experience template

A new Quote and Buy Foundation Experience template is now available in the Jutro Web Apps template library. This line-of-business-agnostic Jutro digital solution provides a configurable, end-to-end quote-and-buy flow for personal and commercial lines, without requiring a line-specific starting point.

The template includes standard quote-and-buy steps: accounts, policy coverages, quote selection, quote details, summary, payment, confirmation, and side-by-side quote comparison. You can use it as a standalone app or embed it in existing experiences, such as Agent Experience.

Key benefits:

• Faster line-of-business rollouts: Start from a ready-made quote-and-buy flow and plug in line-specific products and coverages to reduce time to market.
• Consistent experiences across products: Use one reusable foundation for quote-and-buy journeys while still allowing user experience refinement.
• Flexible coverage configuration: Drive line and coverable coverage setup from configuration and product definitions instead of template-specific code.
• Built-in flow patterns: Support authenticated, anonymous, and policy-change flows, plus side-by-side quote comparison.

New Workers' Compensation Employer Experience template

We have added a new template, Workers' Compensation (WC) Employer Experience, to the Jutro Web Apps template library. This is a pre-built Jutro digital solution that gives employers a unified, self-service environment to oversee workers' compensation claims, policies, and related operations.

It centralizes access to WC policy and claim information, streamlines claims-management workflows, provides real-time insights through data visualizations, and supports First Report of Injury (FROI) submissions when integrated with the WC FROI template.

Key benefits:

• Faster employer self-service: HR and risk managers can view and manage claims and policies in one place, reducing calls and manual follow-up.
• Streamlined claims handling: Built-in claims views and detail pages give better visibility into status, reserves, and payments to support consistent handling.
• Stronger decision support: Embedded data visualization surfaces key WC metrics so employers and carriers can act on trends more quickly.
• Ready to extend: Delivered as a Jutro experience template with reusable components and patterns, so insurers can customize the experience while preserving the core structure.

Digital SDK UI extension adoption

The following templates have been updated to use the Digital SDK UI extensions:

• Commercial Auto Quote and Buy template
• Policyholder Experience template
• Workers' Compensation Quote and Buy template

Agent Experience template integration with BillingCenter

The Agent Experience template now includes integration with BillingCenter Cloud APIs so agents can view real-time account invoices and billing information directly in the Agent Experience dashboard. For more information on setting up and using the BillingCenter integration, see the Agent Experience template documentation.

Accessibility standards compliance

The Jutro templates have been validated to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 standards.

These internationally recognized guidelines define how to make digital content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, motor, and cognitive impairments. This includes ensuring:

• The contrast ratio of textual elements against their background is above 4.5:1.
• Non-textual content that needs to convey meaning (like icons and focus indicators) has a contrast ratio of at least 3:1 with its adjacent colors.
• The item is operable using a keyboard, as well as using a mouse.
• Content is accessible using screen readers, such as JAWS and VoiceOver.

Deployment configurations in JWA

Deployment configurations let you define setups at the app settings level of your Jutro app. You can reuse them across deployments and promotions for that app, instead of re-entering authentication, variables, and response headers each time.

The benefits of deployment configurations include:

• Faster, repeatable deployments: Save a configuration once and apply it to future deployments or promotions of the same app.
• Fewer configuration mistakes: Reusing vetted configs reduces errors in authentication settings, environment variables, and response headers.
• Clear ownership and lifecycle: Each app has a list of configurations (with creator and creation date) that you can clone or delete while unused.

Deployment configurations are available to Guidewire Cloud customers with JWA access. Customers who can deploy apps can create and manage deployment configurations.

Coming soon - Backend APIs for Jutro apps

Backend APIs is a new capability in Jutro Web Apps UI that gives developers access to a new set of features, including:

• The ability to configure app-specific, more granular API surfaces for InsuranceSuite (IS) apps.
• The option to use cookie-based auth when connecting with those IS apps.
• Integrating those same Jutro apps with server-side functions deployed in the Guidewire Cloud Platform (GWCP).

The Backend APIs feature is the UI component for a new Digital API Gateway component that offers these capabilities.

This feature is set to be generally available in May, 2026.
