Ivan BrygarLeave a comment

The Sitecore Stream module lets you generate content, extract data from documents and media, translate items, and more. Behind every AI action is a request to the Sitecore Stream Cloud API. Does Sitecore track how many interactions your organization uses? Yes, and in this post, I’ll break down exactly how interaction counting works under the hood.

Below is the Interactions dashboard, which was recently added to the Sitecore Stream web app. You can view your organization’s usage at https://stream-{region}.sitecorecloud.io/interactions (for example, https://stream-use.sitecorecloud.io/interactions for the US East region):

A dashboard overview showing interactions over time for October 2026, with a total of 3,486 interactions displayed in a line graph format.

Ivan Brygar2 Comments

Sitecore has released the new version of Stream for PDXP v.1.7.26.

The release includes:

  1. The new Tree translation feature (PREMIUM):  translate an entire content tree (a parent item and all its descendants) into a target language in a single operation.
  2. Improved behavior for Page Translation (consistent with Tree Translation): security, optimization, etc.
  3. Bug fixes: Addressed various minor issues to enhance overall stability and performance.

Stream Tree Translation

The Tree Translation is a new approach for translating your content and media items, serving as a convenient addition to Item Translation and Page Translation. This feature is available for Premium users performing bulk operations.

To run the Tree Translation, in Content Editor select the item node that you want to translate, then switch to the target language (e.g. Danish) and in the Versions tab click the Stream Translate => Translate Tree

In the next example I show how to use Tree Translation that has 50 items in the selected node.

Set Up Cursor for an Existing Repository in 5 Minutes

Ivan BrygarLeave a comment

There is a great article The Ultimate Guide to AI-Powered Development with Cursor: From Chaos to Clean Code that describes in detail how to integrate Cursor into your project. The article is pretty long, and after reading it, it would take a lot of time to set up everything exactly for your solution. Fortunately, there’s a way to lay a solid foundation within 5 minutes — because Cursor contextualizes best practices directly to your repository, generating rules that fit your code without manual adaptation.

Who This Is For

  • Existing repositories (not greenfield projects)
  • Developers who already use Cursor or Copilot
  • Teams that want consistent AI behavior without heavy setup

Step 1/3

Open your solution in Cursor and do the next prompt:

Prompt Engineering

Ivan BrygarLeave a comment

What’s the prompt? It’s simply a question or instruction. A prompt is the art of communicating with AI models to get a desired output. The clearer and more detailed the prompt, the better the response. The more specific and thorough you are, the more accurately the task will be completed.

Prompt requires 3 things:

  1. Context – the material to be worked on.
  2. Role – you and your role (who you are and what you do).
  3. Expectation – the desired material to be generated.

Example of crafting promps:

  1. Okay:
    • “Can you help me understand the current trends in global markets?”
  2. Better (+context and role):
    • “I am a Business Analyst at Abc Co exploring global market trends. Can you help me understand the key trends across industries and regions?”
  3. Best (+expectation):
    • “I am a Business Analyst at Abc Co exploring global market trends. Can you help me understand the major trends impacting global markets, focusing specifically on how technological advancements and geopolitical shifts are influencing vatius industries? Please highlight the key trends, assess their potential risks, and identify any challenges organizations might face in adapting their strategies to these changes.“

Sitecore .webp images support

Ivan Brygar1 Comment

The .webp media in Sitecore has been supported since version 10.4. But if you need to add support for lower versions, follow the next steps:

  1. Under the master database add webp items under the next pathes (can be cloned from jpeg item and then adjusted):
/sitecore/templates/System/Media/Unversioned/webP
/sitecore/templates/System/Media/Versioned/webP

2. In Sitecore.config a new media type should be added:

<mediaType name="WEBP image" extensions="webp">
    <mimeType>image/webp</mimeType>
	<forceDownload>false</forceDownload>
	<sharedTemplate>system/media/unversioned/webP</sharedTemplate>
	<versionedTemplate>system/media/versioned/webP</versionedTemplate>
	<mediaValidator type="Sitecore.Resources.Media.ImageValidator" />
	<thumbnails>
	    <generator type="Sitecore.Resources.Media.ImageThumbnailGenerator, Sitecore.Kernel">
	        <extension>png</extension>
	    </generator>
	    <width>150</width>
	    <height>150</height>
	    <backgroundColor>#FFFFFF</backgroundColor>
	</thumbnails>
	<prototypes>
