What we shipped.

The blog ingest API now returns each published post's public URL on the apex agentdraft.io/blog/… — where the post actually lives — instead of the app. dashboard host, which only redirected there. Cross-publishing integrations that store the returned URL (e.g. for canonical links and search-engine submission) now get the canonical address directly.

The alternatives guides, /vs/* comparison pages, and the benchmark page now link straight to the free calendar collision audit — no signup required to see whether your own calendar already has a conflict.

A public, rate-limited demo API key now runs the docs quickstart before you ever create an account. Reads (like GET /v1/availability) return real responses; writes get a friendly 403 pointing at a free key.

A brand-new account now gets its first avs_live_* agent key the moment email verification completes — shown once with a copy-paste curl example — instead of after calendar and template setup.

The sign-in email now includes a 6-digit code alongside the link, plus an Open Gmail shortcut on the waiting screen. Either the link or the code completes sign-in; corporate inbox link-scanners can no longer burn the link before you click it.

First-time visitors on the sign-in page now get the email path first under a Get your API key heading; the passkey button leads only for browsers that have signed in before.

Picking a paid tier on the pricing page now survives the magic-link round trip: after onboarding you land on Billing with your chosen tier, instead of hunting for it.

Each plan card on the landing page now has its own call-to-action, and the primary button stays visible in the mobile masthead instead of collapsing into the menu.

Retired the Start free trial label — there is no trial; the button now says what it does: Get an API key — free.

New /alternatives hub with five honest evaluation guides — Nylas and Cronofy for AI agents, AgentMail, Slotflow, and Timekit — each with a feature matrix, pricing, and a when-to-choose-them section.

New /vs/slotflow comparison page, and /vs/nylas updated for Nylas Agent Accounts (launched June 2026).

Ten new glossary terms — check-then-book race, double-booking, hold TTL, idempotent booking, agent mailbox, DKIM for agents, A2A scheduling, collision benchmark, slot-level compare-and-swap, and inbound email webhook — bringing the defined-term set to 29.

The /benchmark page now pre-registers the Collision Census methodology: once the free calendar audit reaches 30 multi-agent calendars, we publish the observed 30-day collision rate.

Expanded the public Privacy, Terms, DPA, and Security pages with clearer data-use, retention, billing, cancellation, vulnerability-reporting, incident-notification, and request-process disclosures, and hid the unfinished press kit from public navigation and static indexing.

Aligned public SEO and AEO surfaces around the canonical AgentDraft description, refreshed SDK/MCP metadata links, and added direct-answer blocks to the two VectraSEO-flagged blog posts.

Tuned the production API deployment's Kubernetes memory request so the pod reserves less baseline capacity while keeping the existing limit in place.

Fixed an entitlement over-grant: an account with no billing record — and any subscription that was cancelled — now correctly resolves to the free **Developer** tier instead of the paid **Individual** tier, so paid limits are never granted without an active subscription.

Open-sourced the collision-benchmark harness at `ryabinski-labs/agentdraft-benchmark` (MIT). The benchmark page's reproduce steps now clone the public repo and run it against the hosted API with your own free agent keys.

Agent-discovery manifests — the ChatGPT plugin manifest (/.well-known/ai-plugin.json) + curated OpenAPI and the A2A agent card (/.well-known/agent.json) — now advertise the canonical https://api.agentdraft.io origin instead of an internal origin host over http://, so ChatGPT, A2A callers, and other agent clients can reach AgentDraft reliably.

New accounts now see a **Get set up** checklist pinned to the top of the dashboard. It tracks your real progress — connect a calendar, create an agent key, set working hours, make your first booking — always points to the single next best action, and disappears once you're set up.

The Rules page now opens with a short explanation of what the working-hours grid does and what to do next, so a first-time visitor isn't left guessing.

Agent priority can now be reordered with up/down controls in addition to drag-and-drop, so ranking is reachable by keyboard and without a precise drag.

The consent queue now labels each request's urgency in words (Expiring, Decide soon) alongside the colour and countdown, so the timer no longer relies on colour alone.

A new **Send feedback** action in the dashboard sidebar opens a quick form — pick a category, write a note, and it goes straight to the AgentDraft team by email.

The Security page now opens with a direct summary and answers common questions about agent-key scoping, encryption, and audit evidence.

The published blog index now ships the same social-preview (Twitter/OG) tags, page heading, and Blog structured data as the rest of the site — a publish step had been overwriting them between deploys. Materialized posts also get a visible summary lead-in and a corrected preview image.

Tightened the Privacy Policy search description so it no longer truncates in results.

Stripe Checkout now calculates and collects sales tax automatically, captures business tax IDs, and accepts promotion codes at the point of upgrade.

Disconnecting a calendar while a background sync was in flight could leave a malformed record that made the Settings calendar list (and the auto-resync) fail to load. The sync write-back is now skipped when the connection is already gone, and a stray record can no longer take down the whole list.

The sister-product calendar connector — formerly "Webmail / Emcognito" — is now branded Folio across the dashboard and onboarding. Existing connections are unaffected; only the name changed.

When connecting Google Calendar fails to start, the dashboard now shows the backend's actual reason and HTTP status (for example a rejected redirect_uri) instead of a contentless "Failed to start Google OAuth" banner.

The Settings "Couldn't load calendars" banner now names the HTTP status and reason (or a clear offline message) instead of hiding why the calendar list failed to load.

docker compose up now boots the API again: the service clears the shared image's AWS Lambda entrypoint, which had been silently swallowing the uvicorn command and crashing the container on start.
