Work as a team, on every channel your students use.

The team-and-channels release

Agencies can now work as a team — roles, assignee filters and country-based auto-assignment — while Instagram joins the channel list and the inbox goes live.

Highlights

  • Team roles, an AI / Human / Pending inbox and auto-assignment by destination country
  • Instagram DMs and comments answered by the AI, alongside WhatsApp and Messenger
  • Voice messages understood on WhatsApp and Messenger
  • A live inbox that updates without a refresh, with reply-window aware sending
  • Bulk knowledge base cleanup, CSV / Excel Q&A upload and new CRM shortcuts
Full release notes37

Overview

Additions center on teams and channels: role-based dashboard access, All / AI / Human / Pending inbox views that keep knowledge gaps apart from human takeover, My chats / All chats / Unassigned filters, and auto-assignment of new chats to counselors by destination country. Instagram joins WhatsApp and Messenger, voice notes are understood, the inbox updates live and switches to WhatsApp templates once the 24-hour window closes. The CRM, knowledge base and integrations gained everyday shortcuts; fixes target conversation memory, the website widget, Facebook page connections and contact names; security was tightened across sign-in, rate limits, headers and agent ownership; and the AI service was reorganised into focused modules.

Added

17
  • Instagram channel — connect an Instagram account through Facebook Login and answer its DMs and comments through the AI inbox; scheduled posts publish to Instagram after the Facebook Page. Instagram is in Integrations with a Testing badge
  • Team roles — role-based dashboard access for team members
  • Inbox views — All / AI / Human / Pending tabs; a knowledge gap is kept apart from a human takeover, a gap-driven handover moves to Pending, and the two are distinct at a glance
  • Inbox assignee filter — My chats / All chats / Unassigned with a per-assignee count; counselors open on their own chats
  • Auto-assign by country — counselors are given destination countries, and a workspace switch assigns each new chat to the least-busy matching counselor
  • Live inbox — the conversation list and the open thread update as messages arrive, without a refresh
  • Reply-window aware composer — the inbox knows when the 24-hour window has closed and sends a WhatsApp template instead
  • Voice messages — WhatsApp and Messenger voice notes are transcribed and understood by the agent
  • Chat attachments — the public chat page accepts files; images are compressed and every chat file counts toward workspace storage
  • Demo booking management by the agent — the agent can reschedule, correct and close a booking, and asks for the agency Page or website link instead of an email
  • CRM — open a student's chat in the Inbox from their record, change a stage from Enrolled Students, edit the academic profile from the student page, and a File Opening Fee invoice type
  • Knowledge base — select entries and bulk-delete them on both knowledge base pages
  • Integrations — pick which agent a channel connects to, with guided Facebook connect in multi-agent workspaces
  • Facebook comment replies carry the text of the post the comment was left on
  • Marketing — yearly pricing at 20% off, a 7-day free trial and unlimited channels on every plan
  • Docs — a "Before you connect" channel troubleshooting guide
  • Login page — a 3D card over an animated blooming-meadow backdrop

Changed

5
  • The conversations page is now the Inbox
  • The agent suggests 2–3 countries rather than reciting the whole list
  • Currency is stored and shown as taka (৳) everywhere in finance and CRM, and student invoice payments count as income
  • Leads shows the whole pipeline instead of the last 30 days
  • The AbroadMate website now runs our own chat widget, keyed on the visitor phone number

Fixed

10
  • The agent no longer forgets what a prospect already said, and a failed summary no longer erases part of a conversation
  • The website widget domain allowlist no longer rejects every chat, and the input stays typeable while a reply streams
  • Duplicate chat sessions and double sends on the public chat
  • Connecting one Facebook page no longer disconnects the others, and a page or number that moves agent routes to its newest connection
  • Messenger contact names resolve without extra Meta approval, and failed profile photos are retried
  • Deleting an agent removes its knowledge base vectors
  • CSV / Excel imports keep multi-line cells, and torn Q&A rows are stitched back together
  • Contact names survive long inbox time windows and threads opened from the CRM
  • A past or already-handled demo no longer blocks booking a new one
  • One 24-hour sign-in is kept across tabs and browser restarts

Security

3
  • Agent ownership is enforced on every agent-scoped route
  • Public chat, upload and sign-up routes are rate-limited
  • Response headers tightened on private surfaces, and platform-admin sign-in hardened

Infrastructure

2
  • The AI service was reorganised into focused modules for tools, prompts, sessions, conversation turns and knowledge base writes
  • Dependency bumps across the Go, Python and frontend services
v0.0.9

Everything you see before you log in, rebuilt.

The public-face release

The marketing site was rebuilt end to end and joined by a docs site, a public changelog and a status page, while the product gained Facebook post automation, a spreadsheet Data Manager and workspace-level limits.

Highlights

  • Marketing site redesigned end to end on a new neutral design system
  • A public documentation site, changelog and status page
  • A real demo-booking funnel — the form, the agent, and an admin desk
  • Scheduled Facebook page posting and a spreadsheet-style Data Manager
  • Agent limits, test accounts and per-workspace document storage quotas
Full release notes50

Overview

Additions center on the public surface: a redesigned marketing site with an animated product walkthrough, a documentation site at /docs, this changelog, a status page on its own hostname, and a demo-booking funnel wired to both the try-it form and the agent. Inside the product, Facebook post automation, a spreadsheet-style Data Manager, agent limits, test accounts and document storage quotas landed; the admin client page collapsed into one screen; and fixes target knowledge-base recall, accessibility contrast and mobile spacing. Underneath, every linter, formatter and type checker became a blocking CI gate, Python dependencies moved to uv, and the frontend moved to Next.js 16.

Added

19
  • Marketing site rebuilt — a full redesign on a neutral white/black/blue system with Sora and Manrope display type and a compact eyebrow-badge type scale, plus a phone-framed live AI chat demo, an animated CRM pipeline walkthrough, an interactive weekly analytics chart, a 12-column platform bento, animated how-it-works journey cards, scroll-driven card entrances, and a right-side mobile nav drawer
  • Public documentation site at /docs — an editorial, itinerary-led guide to the agency dashboard, with a command-palette search
  • Public changelog at /changelog — the release timeline, mirrored from the repository CHANGELOG.md
  • Public status page served at the status.abroadmate.co root and linked from the footer
  • Demo bookings — the try-it form and the agent's book_demo tool both write to demo_bookings; requests land on an admin desk and on a tenant-scoped client dashboard page, and the agent offers only real half-hour slots between 08:00 and 19:30 and refuses anything outside them
  • Facebook post automation — scheduled Page posting with a Go scheduler and a Python post studio, a workspace default image model, a stepped setup brief mirrored as a live post preview, and an admin Feature Access gate
  • Data Manager spreadsheet editor — per-country worksheets with fixed rows, drag-to-resize columns and a coloured sheet frame, duplicate review before cleaning, a warning before saving over existing data, and a bulk-update endpoint that writes many rows in one request
  • Per-tenant agent limit and a dashboard agent switcher — tenants.max_agents caps how many agents a workspace can have, and a header switcher reaches agent #2 onward
  • Admin per-client Playground — run any client's agent from the admin console, with playground sessions scoped by surface
  • Guided client onboarding wizard — a six-step setup flow for a newly created client
  • 200 MB per-workspace document storage — a trigger-maintained meter with a dashboard gauge, enforced on upload and raisable per client from the admin page
  • Knowledge base duplicate guard — a country push sends only the pairs an agent is missing, duplicates can be reviewed before they are cleaned, several countries push in one run, entries bulk-delete by country, and the training modal re-indexes with live progress
  • Test accounts — is_test_account exempts a tenant from billing and suspension entirely; test accounts are tagged in the navbar picker and client rows, show unlimited credits and no invoices, and leftover invoices can be cleared
  • Invoice receipt — the invoice modal is now a paper receipt that prints out of a slot, and admins can view any invoice as a receipt from the billing page
  • Agent purpose and per-addon switches — every prompt addon has an on/off flag, agent_purpose picks the base prompt (support vs. study-abroad), and a per-agent Human Writing Style flag gates the style addon
  • Themed `ConfirmDialog` and branded error boundaries — every window.confirm is replaced across both consoles, and readable branded fallbacks stand in for the faint default
  • Custom date-range picker — a styled calendar replacing the native date inputs
  • Full-site audit tool — a Lighthouse + axe walker that screens all three hosts, once per theme
  • Admin client login email change — an admin can change the email a client signs in with

Changed

12
  • New agents default to DeepSeek V4 Flash; existing and OpenAI-backed agents keep their model
  • Admin client detail is one page — the Billing, Agents & KB and Playground tabs are gone, Credit Usage and Document Storage sit side by side under the stat cards, and the plan / credit / billing-day controls moved to the Billing page
  • The knowledge base always searches in English, and a Q&A entry is faceted by its question rather than its answer
  • Agent replies read like a human consultant — per-channel formatting decided by the agent rather than a cleaner, emoji mirroring the student's own register, and the student's name and channel injected as per-turn context
  • Every dashboard time is the viewer's local timezone in 12-hour AM/PM
  • Admin support desk rebuilt on the client inbox layout — a full-bleed helpdesk with an actions menu, a details panel, client profile images and ticket deletion
  • Per-agent WhatsApp/Facebook channel cap raised 1 → 5
  • Pricing says Free CRM on the plan cards, and the CRM & student pipeline is listed as a Growth plan feature
  • Dashboard sidebar regrouped — Inbox/Overview, CRM, Growth, AI Agents, Settings, with Overview ahead of Inbox
  • Header credits pill redesigned with a gradient tint and a progress ring
  • The Go API root reports its version and answers /healthz, and unknown routes get a branded 404 page
  • Backdating a billing start date is allowed up to 25 days; anything earlier is rejected

Fixed

10
  • Four knowledge-base retrieval bugs that cost recall and caused false misses; the admin KB list ignored offset and agent_id, so every page showed the same rows and country counts doubled
  • A blank pinecone_namespace silently skipped the embedder — it is restored on indexing, and the admin agent form rebuilds after create so a later save cannot blank it again
  • A failed knowledge-base entry is recoverable and says why it failed, and the KB reports when the AI service is down instead of writing entries that are guaranteed to fail
  • Transient Supabase read timeouts are retried once, and the billing actions drawer no longer flashes its modals shut as they open
  • Playground history no longer doubles on reload, and a slow AI turn recovers instead of being lost
  • Low-contrast marketing text and badges raised to WCAG AA, hover-only row actions kept reachable on touch devices, the inbox reply-send button grown to a 44px tap target, and student detail header actions stacked on mobile
  • Anti-framing headers now cover the dashboard and admin console, and the admin console uses the AbroadMate favicon
  • Render-phase mutations, refs read during render, Date.now() in render and impure state seeds all cleared out of the frontend
  • A mobile spacing pass across the hero, challenges, solution, features, results, pricing, FAQ, CTA, footer, about, blog, docs, try-it, referral, status, changelog and legal pages, including a hero heading and CTA row that finally fit small screens
  • The date-range popup clamps to the viewport instead of a guessed height, and the notifications modal caps its height and scrolls

Performance

3
  • The spinner Lottie was replaced with a CSS loader, and the 404 and loading animations are served from public/ instead of lottie.host
  • The oversized logo PNG was downscaled and every logo img given explicit dimensions; the hero GIF loads eagerly to clear the LCP warning
  • Data Manager loads sheets more leanly, with accented scrollbars and wheel-scrolled tabs

Infrastructure

6
  • Next.js 16 — middleware is now proxy.ts on the Node runtime, and the agent rules files Next generates are committed
  • Every linter, formatter and type checker is a blocking CI gate — ruff check, ruff format and ty for Python; ESLint, Prettier and tsc --noEmit for the frontend; golangci-lint and gofmt for Go
  • Python dependencies move to uv — pyproject.toml + uv.lock replace requirements.txt, and Dependabot tracks the uv ecosystem
  • Git hooks run CI locally, split by what each check needs to see — pre-commit takes the per-file ones (gitleaks, gofmt, ruff, ESLint, Prettier) over the staged files, pre-push the whole-project ones (tsc, ty, go vet/build/test, golangci-lint) over each touched service, concurrently and with nothing checked twice
  • Go toolchain pins moved to Go 1.26 across CI and Docker, and .gitattributes forces LF so Prettier agrees across platforms
  • Dependency bumps: Pinecone 10.0.0, OpenAI 3.6.0, golang.org/x/crypto 0.56.0, and grouped frontend updates
v0.0.8

Two consoles, rebuilt from the ground up.

The workspace release

Both consoles were redesigned on shared UI kits, billing became fully dynamic, and the CRM, Knowledge Base and Inbox each gained a significant new workflow.

Highlights

  • Admin console and client dashboard redesigned on shared UI kits
  • Fully dynamic billing — editable packages and self-service plan changes
  • New follow-up desk, shareable student tracking links, and a CRM home dashboard
  • Knowledge Base unified into one tabbed workspace; Human Takeover moved into the Inbox
  • WhatsApp coexistence onboarding, typing indicators, and real contact identities
Full release notes37

Overview

Additions span dynamic billing packages, self-service plan changes, a follow-up desk, student tracking links, a support ticket desk, a unified notification funnel and WhatsApp coexistence onboarding. The admin console and client dashboard were then redesigned page by page; fixes target dark-mode colours, plan-change timing and transient select errors; and the frontend moved to Next 15, React 19 and TypeScript 6.

Added

19
  • Dynamic billing packages — an admin-editable plans table drives pricing, the plan picker and invoice line items; each invoice freezes its own credits so edits land on the next cycle
  • Self-service plan changes — a client can change their own plan, which raises an invoice, releases credits on payment, carries the remaining credits over, and keeps a visible history; admins see client-initiated changes with a full audit trail
  • Admin Reset Billing — a single control to undo billing state; no credits are granted before the first invoice is paid, first cycle included
  • Follow-up desk — a dedicated Followups page backed by followup_logs; closing a follow-up logs an outcome and books the next touch, with a New Follow-up button and student picker
  • Student tracking link — a shareable, read-only /track/{token} status page, separate from the single-use portal magic link
  • CRM home dashboard — an agency's daily queue on one page, with Reports folded in and CSV export of students and enrolled students
  • AI Profile Summary & AI Business Review — per-lead profile summaries and an agency-level review with improvement suggestions
  • Finance tracking — income and expenses by category, invoice types (tuition / application / service fee, deposit, commission), and hand-entered commissions on the Receivable tab
  • Support ticket desk — client-to-admin tickets with live SSE updates and Resend email notifications
  • Unified notification funnel — every tenant notification is emailed through a single db.NotifyTenant path; admin notifications can target multiple clients, open full detail, and paginate
  • Tabbed Knowledge Base — Universities and Knowledge Gaps merged into one workspace with a new Training Data tab; entries filter by country, type, document and status; knowledge gaps gain an 8-week ask-trend chart, a list/grid toggle, answers scoped by country/document, and a pulsing badge when gaps are open
  • University catalog controls — a per-agent toggle for recommending from the catalog (off by default for new agents), adding a university with just a name and country, and editing its name/country/city/website
  • Human Takeover in the Inbox — the standalone page is gone; takeover rows are flagged and sorted to the top, the AI auto-pauses for a contact on handoff, and a "Teach the AI this answer" CTA sits in the handover panel
  • Real contact identities in the Inbox — cached, compressed profile photos, synced names, and name-initial avatars with channel badges
  • WhatsApp coexistence onboarding — phone and AI share one number with no migration, plus chat-history and contact import, typing indicators, real contact names, a per-agent reply-wait delay, dashboard message-template management, and quality-ban protection for connected numbers
  • Three-hostname routing — the marketing site, client dashboard and admin console are each served on their own hostname, with the folder prefix dropped from dashboard and admin URLs
  • Public playground share link — publish an agent as a public chat, with a session-only Live tools switch and a settings panel; live-tools test students expire after 7 days
  • Admin Accounts module — platform Finance moved into its own Accounts nav section with filter-aware, cached summary stats
  • Shared `Dropdown` component — a portalled popover replacement for native <select> in toolbars, rolled across both consoles; credits remaining now show in the dashboard header

Changed

7
  • Admin console redesign — a new shell nav bar and sidebar matching the client dashboard, plus a full redesign of Overview, Clients, Agents, the Agent edit page, Billing, Finance, Data Manager, Notifications, Support, Status, Audit Log and Settings on the --adm-* UI kit
  • Client dashboard redesign — the CRM dashboard, Leads, Enrolled Students, Tasks, Followups, Finance, Business, Support, Team, Billing, Performance, Knowledge Base and Playground rebuilt on the --dsh-* UI kit; Performance gains an AI health score
  • Navigation regrouped — collapsible Students, To-Do and Money nav groups; a student opens as a full page instead of a slide-over; Conversations is now Inbox and Students is now Leads
  • CRM currency is Bangladeshi Taka (৳) — money() and the schema default are now BDT
  • Marketing workspace removed — Campaigns, Forms and Automations, their backend and their tables are gone
  • Billing calendar runs on Bangladesh time — cycles chain off their own start day so they never gap, each invoice owns its cycle window, and changing the billing day re-cuts only the running cycle
  • recommend_universities takes a country and nothing else; the catalog switches off for agents whose tenant has no universities

Fixed

6
  • Dark-mode-blind hardcoded colors audited and fixed across the dashboard, the admin console and the Knowledge Base page
  • Transient <select> errors no longer false-fail agent settings saves; the portalled Dropdown menu can no longer hide under a card
  • A late-settled plan change lands on the live cycle; an invoice with no payments serialises as [] instead of null; db.Int no longer returns 0 for internally-built balance maps
  • Lead deletion now confirms, reports failures and refreshes counts; useSearchParams is wrapped in Suspense so the production build prerenders
  • The typing indicator holds open for the whole AI turn; Messenger treats a missing profile-access approval as a normal state
  • The AbroadMate support widget stays off student tracking links; a solved ticket is closed to new messages

Infrastructure

5
  • Upgraded to Next 15 + React 19, ESLint 9 and TypeScript 6; the frontend compiles with Turbopack
  • Inter, Sora and Plus Jakarta Sans are self-hosted so the build never calls Google Fonts
  • Major dependency bumps are grouped so they arrive together, alongside routine Dependabot updates across the Go, Python and frontend trees
  • The billing cycle engine and prepaid rules are pinned under backend/go-api/tests
  • Schema fix: the agents table is created before api_keys so a fresh database runs
v0.0.7

Messages that don't get dropped.

The reliability release

A reliability pass on billing and the messaging channels — prepaid credits, message coalescing, Facebook Page comments in the inbox, and faster, more accurate knowledge-base retrieval.

Highlights

  • Prepaid billing — credits release on payment, with frozen cycle windows
  • Facebook Page comments join the inbox alongside DMs
  • Rapid messages coalesced into a single AI reply
  • The AI stays aware of what human agents said while it was off
  • Faster, more accurate knowledge base retrieval
Full release notes40

Overview

New capabilities include prepaid billing, Facebook Page comments in the inbox, message coalescing, off-period backlog answering and human-reply awareness. CRM navigation was regrouped and retrieval was made lighter, while fixes cover webhook reliability, billing accuracy and message counting — backed by the first Go and Python test suites.

Added

16
  • Prepaid billing — credits are released only on payment and the AI stops (silently) once credits hit zero with an unpaid invoice; the prepaid invoice is issued 5 days before the cycle starts
  • On-demand invoices & plan changes that keep the cycle — per-invoice plan labeling, plan changes carry over the remaining credits, and invoices can be raised even when the prepaid columns are missing
  • Revert & delete billing records — an admin can revert a paid invoice back to unpaid and delete billing records
  • Daily payment-due banner on the tenant dashboard
  • Facebook Page comments in the inbox — Page comments and their AI replies now appear alongside DMs in the conversation view
  • Message coalescing — rapid WhatsApp/Messenger messages are debounced into a single AI reply instead of one reply per message
  • Off-period backlog answering — messages that arrive while the AI is off are answered together on the next AI turn
  • Human-reply awareness — the AI is now aware of human-agent replies sent from the dashboard while it was off, and captures consultant inbox replies via Messenger message_echoes so it knows what was already said
  • Per-channel Markdown formatting — agent Markdown is translated to each channel's native formatting (WhatsApp/Messenger/web)
  • Meta token reconnect prompt — expired Meta tokens surface as a reconnect badge instead of failing silently
  • Enrolled Students page — a dedicated, searchable page with a manual "Add Enrolled Student" button and a full student detail modal
  • Marketing page — Campaigns, Forms and Automations merged into one Marketing page
  • `crm_unlocked` master flag — a single admin Feature Access toggle plus a CRM Suite toggle in the clients-list edit modal
  • Facebook/WhatsApp data-deletion instructions section added for Meta app-review compliance
  • Strong-password enforcement when creating or editing a client in the admin console
  • Pending Payments → billing deep link — the admin overview Pending Payments card links to the pre-filtered billing list

Changed

4
  • CRM navigation regrouped — student pages grouped under a CRM sidebar section with an Enrolled tab; sidebar reordered to a headerless top-three (AI Agents, Growth, CRM, Settings) with the MAIN/TODAY headers dropped
  • The global time-range dropdown is hidden on pages where it does nothing (Universities, Finance, Business, Tasks)
  • The agent speaks its handled countries in prose instead of pipe-separated config
  • The agent no longer admits "no data" — negative tool outputs are reframed as positive consultant-routing directives, and the admin default prompt was synced to the same phrasing ban

Performance

3
  • Knowledge-base retrieval candidate pool cut 24 → 7 to reduce rerank latency on throttled prod CPUs
  • Reranker cold start no longer blocks a worker thread for 60s
  • Detected country facets are reused to avoid a second country scan per KB search

Fixed

13
  • Webhooks no longer abandon slow AI turns — comment and DM replies actually send even when the turn is CPU-throttled
  • Facebook comment replies no longer go silent via human handover on a public comment surface
  • A reply superseded while the AI was still generating is now dropped instead of double-sending
  • Billing accuracy — db.Int returned 0 for internally-built balance maps; changing billing_start_day no longer wipes remaining credits; each invoice's cycle window is frozen so history survives a billing-day change; moving the billing date re-cuts the running cycle and keeps the gap usage; days stranded between two cycles are still charged; the messages card is scoped to the running cycle
  • Stats and the overview channel chart now count inbound student messages (and name what they show), not every row of chat history
  • Create-agent no longer times out into a bogus 502 + 409
  • The admin console acts on the selected client, not the cookie tenant
  • The conversations reply box explains why it's missing instead of hiding silently
  • Per-account browser storage is scoped to the tenant
  • Channel-list read failures surface instead of returning an empty list
  • Fire-and-forget DB write failures are logged instead of discarded
  • KB near-duplicate comparison strips the [Source:] header first; the normalized cache key is embedded so case variants share the right vector
  • Tailwind now scans src/lib so qualification badge colors render

Infrastructure

4
  • First Go unit tests (channel Markdown converters + db parse helpers) and Python regression tests for KB retrieval primitives (query expansion, Bangla synonyms, english_proxy, compress padding)
  • admin.go split into per-concern files; pure trace-serialization helpers extracted to functions/trace.py
  • KB retrieval tests moved into tests/ with a path conftest; the billing test suite removed
  • Ruff failures fixed (dropped unused INTAKE_DATA import, allow assert in tests); gofmt alignment; KB cache invalidation documented as process-local before scaling out
v0.0.6

From an AI inbox to a full agency workspace.

The CRM release

AbroadMate grows from an AI inbox into a full study-abroad agency workspace — pipeline, applications, documents, tasks, a university catalog, invoicing and a student portal — with both consoles rebuilt on themed UI kits.

Highlights

  • 11-stage student pipeline with a Kanban board and journey timeline
  • Applications and visa tracking, student documents, tasks, and automations
  • University catalog with AI matching — safe, target, ambitious
  • Agency invoices, payments, and commissions
  • Embeddable lead-capture forms and a passwordless student portal
  • Admin console and client dashboard rebuilt on themed UI kits
Full release notes46

Overview

This release adds the full agency workspace: an 11-stage pipeline, applications and visa tracking, documents, tasks, automations, a university catalog with AI matching, invoicing, commissions, campaigns, lead-capture forms and a student portal. Navigation was regrouped, knowledge-base recall and gating were fixed, the public widget gained a domain allowlist, and both consoles were migrated onto tokenised UI kits.

Added

21
  • Study-abroad pipeline — 11-stage student pipeline (leads is the student record) with stage history, board counts, a drag-free Kanban board with Back/Next buttons on each student card, a per-student journey timeline, and a board time-range filter
  • Applications & visa tracker — track university applications and visa progress per student, with status history
  • Student documents — upload, verify and reject student documents through a verification workflow, stored in a private bucket
  • Tasks — follow-ups plus exam and deadline reminders, with a dashboard task panel
  • Automation rules — auto-assign leads and create smart follow-up tasks; rules fire from both the Go API and the Python AI service
  • University & course catalog — universities and courses with entry requirements, tuition and intake windows
  • AI university matching — GPA/IELTS-based shortlist bucketed into safe / target / ambitious, exposed as an AI tool and a dashboard panel
  • Invoices & payments — agency invoicing with payment tracking and status refresh
  • Commissions — receivables from universities and payables to sub-agents, with a sub-agents panel
  • Campaigns — bulk outreach with WhatsApp template enforcement
  • Lead-capture forms — embeddable public forms with spam guards, served from a public route
  • Student portal — passwordless portal where students upload documents and track their applications
  • CSV student import — bulk import with de-duplication, plus a duplicate-merge flow
  • Business analytics — an agency-owner dashboard covering revenue, conversion and pipeline health
  • Internal team notes — private notes on conversations with a transfer trail and @mentions
  • Client dashboard UI kit — --dsh-* semantic tokens plus Card/Button/Badge/StatCard/DataTable/Filters/Feedback/Modal/Toast/CommandPalette/LockedFeature primitives; every dashboard page migrated onto it
  • Admin UI kit — --adm-* token layer plus shared buttons, badges, cards, tables, modals, toasts and a Ctrl+K command palette; every admin page migrated onto it
  • Richer admin Overview — trend deltas, a 6-month revenue chart and an activity feed
  • Admin billing cycles — billing-cycle date range in the table, month prev/next navigation, computed Next Billing Date, and a Billing Start day column
  • LockedFeature upsells — gated pages (bot control, knowledge gaps, knowledge base, playground) now show an upsell instead of an empty screen
  • Versioned webhook paths — /api/v1/integrations/{channel}/webhook

Changed

7
  • Dashboard navigation regrouped around what the user is doing rather than by data type
  • Contacts folded into the Leads page as a tab, behind a single "Leads & Contacts" admin feature toggle
  • Page intros promoted into a reusable InfoCard
  • Contacts default to the last 24 hours; the pipeline time range defaults to the last 30 days
  • WhatsApp onboarding returned to the standard embedded-signup flow (coexistence requires Meta Advanced Access) and now registers the number for the Cloud API after signup
  • Facebook Messenger login moved to the redirect OAuth dialog (the JS-SDK flow always returned subcode 36008)
  • Status page: 12-hour times, UTC+6, outage duration in tooltips, incident banner above the navbar, and a "Powered by AbroadMate" footer

Fixed

11
  • Knowledge base recall — fixed a silent recall loss where the hard metadata filter hid records missing the field, and let the agent retry a missed lookup up to 3 times
  • Knowledge base gating — relevance gate recalibrated against the real (bimodal) cross-encoder and chunking made structure-aware, so answers are no longer cut away before they reach the model
  • Agency invoice tables renamed — they collided with the SaaS billing tables
  • Webhooks: all batched WhatsApp/Facebook events are processed (not just the first), the WhatsApp payload is parsed at changes[].value, inbound messages from null countries no longer 422, and the AI-boot retry window was extended so cold starts don't drop messages
  • Facebook: dashboard replies pick the HUMAN_AGENT tag only outside the 24-hour window, and send errors surface to the user
  • Contacts list: exact pagination, correct total, and a working channel filter
  • Admin billing shows the credit usage for the month selected in the filter, and the client name on every record
  • Status page: uptime bars no longer bleed an incident onto the following day, and component status tracks the incident lifecycle
  • Stat tiles no longer stretch to fill their grid row; the native focus ring is gone from the Ctrl+K palette input
  • Meta 36008 errors are now self-diagnosing (surface app_id and Meta's own message); the integrations banner no longer leaks META_* variable names to tenants
  • Proxy maxDuration raised to 60s so a slow Meta connect doesn't 502

Security

3
  • The public widget endpoints now enforce the allowed_domains allowlist
  • Tenants can no longer self-upgrade their plan via PATCH /auth/me
  • Lead-capture forms ship with spam guards

Infrastructure

4
  • Dropped the 700-line html.dark override block and dead component CSS in favour of tokenized classes
  • Gitleaks skipped on Dependabot PRs (its restricted token produced false failures); the deep code-review workflow was retired
  • Local HTTPS dev certificates git-ignored
  • Dependency bumps — fastapi 0.139, pydantic 2.13.4, aiohttp 3.14.1, requests 2.34.2, tiktoken 0.13.0, golang.org/x/crypto, and the frontend-deps group
v0.0.5

A public status page, multimodal chat, and first-party DeepSeek.

Status page, multimodal messaging & first-party DeepSeek

A public status page, multimodal messaging, and a first-party DeepSeek provider, alongside per-agent tool controls and Facebook comment auto-reply.

Highlights

  • Public /status page with 90-day uptime bars and incident history
  • Admin status management, driving the public page and dashboard banners
  • Multimodal messaging — image vision and document text extraction
  • First-party DeepSeek provider and per-agent tool toggles
  • Facebook Page comment auto-reply, with a per-page switch
Full release notes30

Overview

Additions include the public status page and its admin management, multimodal messaging, a first-party DeepSeek provider, per-agent tool toggles and Facebook comment auto-reply. Theme handling was centralised, per-message LLM cost was cut through caching and tighter prompts, Meta OAuth was hardened against subcode 36008, and a deep code-review CI pipeline was added.

Added

12
  • Public status page — Atlassian-Statuspage-style /status with a live overall-status hero, per-service 90-day uptime bars (colored by daily impact, with hover tooltips and computed uptime %), and a day-by-day past-incidents feed in UTC
  • Admin Status Page management — new admin tab to manage monitored services, report incidents, post timeline updates, and set component status; incidents auto-drive the public page
  • Auto incident banner — tenant dashboards automatically show a status banner whenever an incident is active and clear it once resolved (links to the public status page)
  • Direct DeepSeek provider — first-party DeepSeek selectable per agent in the admin console; new agents default to DeepSeek v4 Pro
  • Per-agent tool toggles — enable/disable save to CRM, qualify_lead, handover, and report_gap per agent
  • Multimodal messaging — vision image + document text extraction in the AI pipeline; chat-uploads storage bucket, widget/playground upload endpoints, image/file attach with preview, and inbound WhatsApp/Facebook media routed into the pipeline
  • Facebook Page comment auto-reply — AI replies to Page comments with a per-page toggle
  • Teach-the-AI gap resolution — knowledge-gap modal now takes a question and an answer
  • Markdown bot messages — bot replies render as markdown in the widget and conversations views
  • Admin navigation progress bar — instant progress indicator on admin page switching
  • Configurable AI limits — AGENT_RECURSION_LIMIT and IMAGE_INPUT_DETAIL env knobs
  • /chat page migrated to Next.js with server-side credential proxying

Changed

2
  • Centralized light/dark theme handling; all frontend UI is now required to render correctly in both themes

Performance

5
  • Per-message LLM cost cut via OpenRouter prompt caching + a leaner default prompt
  • Agent output capped at 800 tokens; per-turn tool calls capped
  • Knowledge-base search loop bounded to stop a top cost blowout
  • Off-tool instructions gated out of the default prompt
  • Same-session turns serialized to prevent concurrent-message races

Fixed

6
  • Meta Embedded Signup OAuth hardened — code exchanged with no redirect_uri (resolves subcode 36008), FB user token upgraded to long-lived before deriving page tokens, no more double-spending the code on the FB page-picker, sturdier FB SDK loader and WA message listener
  • Playground channel excluded from inbox, conversations, and overview counts
  • Admin agent edit form shows the correct provider/model; llm_provider added to the admin update allow-list
  • OpenRouter provider auto-detected from a slashed model id; first-party DeepSeek forced with a curated provider allow-list
  • Admin "Revenue by Plan" chart — white tooltip value text, measured-container render, and readable axis labels in light mode
  • Sidebar active/hover styles applied to Link elements; instant progress bar with optimistic active state

Infrastructure

5
  • Deep code-review CI pipeline on push (complexity, maintainability, dead code, security, duplication, dependency and hygiene analyzers)
  • Python CI gates ruff security (S) and unused-argument (ARG) rules
  • Gitleaks gzip error fixed by fetching the latest release dynamically
  • Sub-agent usage policy documented in CLAUDE.md
  • Dependency bumps — zustand 4 → 5, the frontend-deps group, Supabase, uvicorn, langchain-openai, pytz, python-dotenv, and several GitHub Actions (checkout, setup-python, upload/download-artifact, github-script)

  • Client lifecycle management — admin can set active/inactive/suspended status and delete a client (cascades Postgres data + purges Pinecone vectors)
  • Billing automation — auto-generate month-end invoices in admin ledger; send payment receipts to clients on mark-as-paid
  • Feature Access tool gating — qualify_lead, handover, and report_gap tools respect per-tenant and per-agent Feature Access flags
  • Playground history retention — auto-purge playground chat history older than 3 months; playground channel now passes schema CHECK
  • Per-tenant observability — request count, error rate, and latency metrics per tenant; /admin/metrics endpoint
  • Per-tenant rate-limit fairness — billing-plan-tiered ceiling ensures one tenant cannot starve others

  • Stopped minute-level timestamps from defeating OpenAI prompt caching
  • Widget loads lazily and pauses SSE/polling while closed; agent-logs & human-takeover polling pause on hidden tabs

Security

2
  • Privileged /api/proxy admin actions and tenant derivation now require a server-verified signed session cookie, never request-body or client state
  • Constant-time admin password comparison, agent-scoped API key enforcement, no trust of spoofable proxy IP headers for rate limiting, baseline security + clickjacking headers

Fixed

7
