Changelog

What we shipped, week by week.

Honest, plain-English summaries of every user-facing change. No internal version numbers, no marketing fluff, no surprise pricing changes — just what landed in production and who benefits.

FOR CREATORS

Study mode + per-post Remix

Click 'Study' on any leaderboard creator. Coach returns a 5-section brief (What's working, Tone of voice, Posting playbook, Steal-worthy angles, Where you can leapfrog them) with citations to specific hooks and posts. Then Remix any of their top posts into your own voice in 30 seconds.

  • 20 Study turns per month for every creator — resets the 1st
  • Per-post Remix is included, no extra Coach turns spent
FOR CREATORS

Coach got 60% faster + learns from your reactions

Three sequential generateHookInVoice calls collapsed into one batched call. Anthropic prompt cache split: stable prefix on the cache_control boundary, per-turn dynamic suffix uncached — multi-turn conversations within 5 minutes now hit the cache. Plus thumbs-up/down chips below every Coach reply: counters propagate to source hook + parent pattern, and a weekly demote cron auto-prunes patterns Coach surfaced repeatedly but creators ignored.

  • Hook feedback loop with idempotent-flip support (👍 → 👎 swaps the counter, doesn't double-bump)
  • Voice profile auto-refresh weekly so Coach doesn't sound like the creator from 3 months ago
  • Cache observability logged on every turn so we can verify the split is delivering
FOR CREATORS

Posting streak nudge (gentle, weekly)

If you've gone quiet for 7-21 days AND you usually keep a regular cadence, you'll get a single Sunday email with 3 quick post ideas based on YOUR top recent performers. One-shot per gap, never daily.

FOR BRANDS

High-fit creators digest (weekly, brand-side)

Every Tuesday morning, claimed brands get a digest of fresh creators that scored ≥80 with strong Hook Mastery in the past 7 days. Ranked by score + Hook Mastery, with deeplinks to /brand/creators.

FOR BRANDS

Creator CR-surge alert (brand-side)

Mirror of the existing CR-drop alert: when a creator's CR climbs ≥30% week-over-week with ≥20 clicks in both windows, the brand owner gets an actionable email. Two windows of opportunity: lock the rate or scale the offer.

FOR CREATORS

Goal deadline reminders + viral-hook + post-outperformed + payout alerts

Four event-driven notifications: goal deadlines at 30/14/7 days; cross-niche viral hook digest weekly; "your post hit 1.8× baseline" celebrations; deal payout receipts. All gated by a new 3-toggle preferences UI in /settings.

  • Celebration / Action-needed / Weekly-digest categories
  • In-app notifications stay on regardless of email pref
  • Transactional mail (verify, reset, receipts) always delivered
FOR CREATORS

Empty-dashboard fix for new users + verification reminder cron

New users who connect a platform but never finish Bio Code verification now see a clear amber CTA "Finish verifying to unlock your Zera Score" instead of a half-empty dashboard. A new daily cron pings them at day-1 / 3 / 7 with friendly progressive copy.

FOR EVERYONE

Coach intelligence alerts (Hook Mastery, Score thresholds, Stale invites)

Coach now fires three new event-driven alerts: Hook Mastery score change ≥10pt, Score-tier crossing (50 / 65 / 70 / 85), and stale invite reply (creator after ≥48h of brand silence). Plus a daily admin digest of the hooks-discover cron.

FOR EVERYONE

Autonomous hook discovery

A daily cron now sweeps a curated watchlist of high-engagement creator accounts and adds the outlier-performing hooks to a cross-niche library. Coach pulls from it on every relevant ask.

  • Cross-niche by design — fitness/business/fashion patterns reach trading creators
  • Auto-disables permanently-broken accounts after 3 consecutive failures
  • Cosine-similarity dedup catches semantic duplicates the prefix-match missed
  • YouTube discovery added (free via Data API)
FOR CREATORS

Coach trajectory awareness

Coach now sees the last 30 days of score snapshots in its system context. When you click a notification like "your score dropped 11 points", Coach answers from the actual delta — no more pushback.

  • Per-subscore deltas with "biggest drag" annotations
  • Same source of truth as the proactive-notification engine
  • Brand Copilot got the same fix for creator-CR drops
FOR CREATORS

Performance-driven content recommendations

Coach now recommends posting windows and format mixes based on YOUR own engagement data — "your top carousels go up Tuesday 9am", not generic timing advice.

FOR BRANDS

Natural-language brand matchmaker

Type "5 trading creators with 50K+ IG who post daily and have strong contrarian hooks" and get a ranked shortlist — filtered by Hook Mastery, voice profile, niche, not just follower count.

FOR EVERYONE

Anonymized cohort intelligence

Patterns from peer creators in your size + niche cohort are now surfaced in Coach (k-anonymity floor of 3). "Creators in your tier who post 5+ carousels/week reach 70+ score 2.1× faster."

FOR CREATORS

Persistent Coach goals

Declare durable goals ("land a prop firm sponsorship by July", "hit 50K followers") and Coach references them across sessions, paces against deadlines, and surfaces progress proactively.

FOR CREATORS

Per-creator archetype outcomes

Every post is classified into a hook archetype and compared to YOUR own baseline. Coach now steers you toward the archetypes that empirically work for you, not generic best practice.

FOR BRANDS

Brand-side intelligence layer

Hook Mastery breakdown + voice-profile filter + niche filter on every creator profile. The discovery shortlist now ranks by content-quality signal, not vanity metrics.

FOR CREATORS

Voice-of-creator drafting + TTS

Coach builds a persistent voice profile from your posts (tone, sentence length, signature phrases, opener style) and drafts in that voice. Captions can be played back as audio.

FOR EVERYONE

Hook Mastery score

Your last 50 posts get classified against 12 proven hook archetypes. Score reflects both diversity (how many archetypes you can pull off) and strength (how each one performs vs your baseline).
