What's New

Every release, feature launch, improvement, and fix, in one place. We ship weekly.

  1. v1.4.0

    Minor

    Ideation refresh & admin visibility

    Ideation gets a cleaner page and a Surprise me button that picks a niche from your trained style. Behind the scenes, the admin dashboard can now see who is active and what is failing.

    Added

    • Surprise me on Ideation: suggests a niche focus from your trained channel style instead of static example chips.
    • Admin presence tracking, so the dashboard shows who is currently using Creator AI.
    • Error logging across the API and every worker, with unhandled failures recorded for admin review.
    • Promo code lifecycle management in the admin dashboard.
    • Ten new guides covering ideation, content calendars, script generators, Spotter Studio alternatives, subtitle accuracy and auto-caption fixes.

    Changed

    • The Ideation page is now titled Ideation rather than Research, with the same how-it-works layout as AI Studio and a full-card auto mode.

    Fixed

    • Annual affiliate commission was calculated from the monthly price.
    • Embedded blog videos failed Google's watch-page check, so they never appeared as video results.
  2. v1.3.0

    Minor

    Dubbing, video generation & Hannah

    The largest release so far, and the one that catches this changelog up: audio dubbing and AI video generation both went live, Hannah arrived to answer questions, and the whole platform moved to Vertex AI. Everything shipped between the pricing rebuild and the end of July is listed here.

    Added

    • AI audio dubbing: upload audio or video, pick a language, get it back in a clone of the original speaker's voice. Progress streams live and jobs can be cancelled or regenerated. Paid plans, up to 500MB per upload.
    • AI video generation on Gemini Omni Flash, with text-to-video, image-to-video and reference-to-video modes plus follow-up editing. Pro, Business and Scale.
    • Hannah, an AI guide that answers questions about features, pricing and your own account, on both the public site and the dashboard. Supports voice messages and keeps chat history.
    • Channel stats: subscribers, views and video counts on the dashboard, with plan-based sync limits.
    • Public prompt guide at /prompt-guide.
    • Subtitles now upload directly to cloud storage with plan-based duration and size limits, and show credits consumed per generation.
    • Admin: subscription management with fixed validity periods, automatic downgrade on expiry and reminder emails at 7 days, 3 days and 24 hours.
    • Admin: user activity feed, subscription history, segmented bulk email campaigns, and real revenue reporting from Lemon Squeezy webhooks.
    • A clear out-of-credits dialog when AI training fails, linking to both referrals and billing.

    Changed

    • Explore-first dashboard: every feature is browsable, and generation is gated at the button with a modal instead of locking whole pages.
    • AI Training now genuinely analyses your videos. It previously read only the title and description, so every style profile has been rebuilt on real video analysis.
    • Dubbing switched to ElevenLabs' built-in voice cloning and gained accent selection.
    • All AI generation moved from Google AI Studio to Vertex AI, on the newer Gemini 3.5 Flash text model.
    • Credit costs recalibrated per feature against real vendor rates. Thumbnails now bill per image.
    • Public pages load roughly twice as fast, with first-load JavaScript halved and render-blocking CSS removed.
    • The signup confirmation email is now branded Creator AI instead of the unstyled Script AI default.
    • Video generation and audio dubbing are no longer marked coming soon.

    Fixed

    • Referral and purchase bonus credits were wiped at every plan renewal. Bonuses now survive resets and are spent last.
    • Admin revenue showed $0.00 despite active subscriptions, because no Lemon Squeezy payment was ever recorded.
    • Dubbed videos over 50MB failed to save.
    • Channel stats empty state rendered an icon with no call to action.
    • Redis connection drops on idle and intermittent production build failures.

    Security

    • Hannah is split by trust boundary: the public bot is anonymous, rate limited per IP and never sees account data, while the dashboard bot is authenticated and injects your account context server-side rather than trusting the browser.

    Removed

    • The legacy sales-rep portal. Affiliate sales now live under Affiliates.
    • Premium lock on Ideation exports.
  3. v1.2.0

    Minor

    More free credits

    The free Starter plan now includes 500 credits every month, up from 200, so you can try more of Creator AI before upgrading.

    Changed

    • Starter (free) plan monthly credits increased from 200 to 500. Existing free users are topped up automatically.
  4. v1.1.0

    Minor

    New pricing & a fairer referral program

    Every feature is now available on every plan, including the free Starter plan. Plans differ only by monthly credits, with optional annual billing that saves 20%. The referral program now rewards real purchases instead of sign-ups.

    Added

    • Five plans: Starter (free, 200 credits), Creator ($24/mo, 3,000), Pro ($49/mo, 8,000), Business ($299/mo, 50,000), and Scale ($599/mo, 150,000).
    • Annual billing on Creator and Pro, save 20% ($19/mo and $39/mo billed yearly).
    • Public Referral Program page explaining the give-1,000-get-1,000 model.

    Changed

    • Every feature is now unlocked on every plan, no feature is gated behind a higher tier.
    • Referral rewards: earn 1,000 credits when a referred friend makes their first purchase (they get 1,000 too). No more sign-up bonuses.

    Removed

    • Premium feature gates on Story Builder modes and Ideation comparison metrics.
