v1.0.0-beta.2

Beta

March 19, 2026

A major beta update for collaborAItr focused on public sharing, billing accuracy, admin controls, profile routing, and the new Settle It With AI experience.

Added

Launched the public Settle It With AI experience with shareable result pages at /settleit
Added GPT-5.4 model support
Added in-app feedback submission and richer bug-report tools
Added a secure public contact form email endpoint

Improved

Account pages now support direct /account/* routes and use Clerk's hosted profile management for more reliable profile and billing flows
Shared conversations and Settle It links now have improved social preview metadata with app-domain OG routing fixes
Pricing is now available to signed-out visitors, and billing screens now use the effective database-backed plan state
Conversation sharing and routing were improved with canonical /convo/:id URLs and public-by-default shared conversations

Fixed

Hardened Clerk auth and billing synchronization so plan tiers, usage limits, model access, checkout gating, and subscription recovery stay consistent
Fixed OpenRouter token and usage accounting so streamed chats preserve authoritative counts end-to-end
Restored correct Basic-tier access for student users
Fixed pricing and subscription warning banners to reflect the effective database-backed plan
