Changelog

Selected highlights.

  1. 2026-09-13

    YouTube videos as research sources

    • Content Autopilot can now read a video’s public captions as a cited source: quotes are verified against the transcript and cited with a timestamp — text for analysis only, never footage.
    • A video with no matching article is now a story; the older “video ideas need a supporting article” rule stays available per channel.
    • Descriptive keywords (“Tell me about yourself interview answer”) are searched as descriptions, not exact phrases — channels built on how-to topics now find sources.
  2. 2026-09-12

    Eight channels on one workspace

    • Per-channel research and compute caps replace workspace-wide limits, so one channel can never starve another.
    • A video that cannot be published (privacy scan, source policy) is marked with its reason and the queue moves on — nothing is held forever.
    • Every blocked step now records why, visible in the Command Center.
    • Presenter-free renders publish as plain narrated videos when the presenter service is unavailable.
  3. 2026-09-10

    Content Autopilot audit: 25 fixes, one writer

    • Crashed renders re-launch automatically (up to three times); every publish attempt leaves a durable receipt.
    • Per-channel fair share of the YouTube API quota; creation and publication caps validated when you save.
    • One word budget per gate — hook, Short and long script limits derive from the measured speaking rate and are stated once, everywhere.
    • The Command Center reports the exact finding behind any held step, the channel handle, and the last published time.
  4. 2026-09-09

    Stick Explainer at a true 30 fps + channel factory

    • Stick Explainer scenes now render at a true 30 fps, with beats placed on measured narration timing.
    • Charts are drawn only from figures stated in the sources and cited in the script, with the source host in frame.
    • Nine scene templates (headline, big stat, list, comparison, quote, timeline, chart, statement, outro) plus a per-channel theme file — two channels on one template look like two brands.
    • Every render writes a review report and contact sheet for QA.
    • Library groups videos by channel, with source and owner on every row.
  5. 2026-09-07

    Content Autopilot: repair before replace

    • A rejected draft is repaired against the exact check that failed instead of being discarded; the next slot resumes the same story.
    • Command Center shows the reason, the finding and the attempt count for every step.
  6. 2026-09-05

    Visual treatments + account recovery

    • A script no longer has to be a slide deck: each beat gets a graphic (true-proportion bars from cited figures), an original image, footage you own, or typography — chosen from its content.
    • Twenty slide templates, eight of them light; the default is now “studio”.
    • “Forgot password” now works for accounts created with Google sign-in.
  7. 2026-09-04

    PPT → Video keeps your design; one video per account

    • Upload a PowerPoint and keep its own pixels — theme, fonts, images, charts — with progressive bullet reveals timed to the narration, chart zooms and Ken Burns on picture slides. Speaker notes become the script.
    • Save a deck as a template with {{merge}} fields, then render one video per contact or segment — substituted inside the real PPTX, with a personalized share link per account.
    • Durable render jobs: close the tab, the video still finishes; the run page shows live progress and an ETA.
    • Describe the look in plain words (“calm, premium, hospital”) and Brewdemo maps it to the recipe; preview one card with your real voice before rendering the whole deck.
    • One customer shell: Home · Create · Videos · Templates · Audience · Results · Settings; Library with search, filters and thumbnails.
  8. 2026-09-03

    Record → Tutorial

    • Record your product with the agent and get a tutorial: full-frame footage, one caption line, camera zooms sized to what was clicked, highlight strokes and STEP chips.
    • Every tutorial ships with a pack — step-by-step article, screenshots at each action, and an interactive click-through — on the share page’s Steps and Try-it tabs.
  9. 2026-09-02

    Video Style — the render recipe is yours

    • Presets Tutorial / Marketing / Executive; every knob (captions, footage layout, voice, presenter, music, colours, aspect, cards, camera, annotations) is configurable per workspace and per template.
    • Re-render an existing video in place with a new style; sent share links never break.
  10. 2026-05-15

  13. 2026-04-29
