New Features
- Brand character @ tagging: Each brand now has its own cast of characters. Type @ in content fields to tag a specific character, and simplecx will auto-select the right voice and persona for that piece. Great for brands with multiple product lines or audience segments.
- Deep research in AI chat: The full research pipeline is now available as a tool directly inside AI chat. Ask a research question and simplecx runs a real multi-step investigation without leaving the conversation.
- Multi-source brand onboarding: You can now pull brand context from multiple sources during setup - not just a single URL. The more you give simplecx to work with, the sharper your content will be from day one.
- Narrated video Learning Center: A new Learning Center with narrated video tutorials is live under Resources. If you prefer to watch and follow along rather than read docs, this is for you.
Improvements
- Research agent depth controls: Power users can now tune research depth, toggle specific steps, and fine-tune how the agent gathers information - giving you more control over thoroughness vs. speed.
- Redesigned Learning Center: The tutorial hub has a refreshed layout that is easier to scan and navigate.
- Tutorials moved to Resources menu: Tutorial links are now grouped under a Resources dropdown in the main header, keeping the nav cleaner.
- Better SEO on public pages: Public-facing pages now have improved titles, descriptions, and metadata so simplecx content is easier to find through search.
- @ tagging discovery hint: The content regeneration modal now shows a hint about @ tagging so the feature is easier to discover.
Bug Fixes
- Doubled @mention text: Fixed a bug where typing an @ mention would show the text twice or leave a ghost copy behind.
- Clearer image generation refusals: When AI image generation is blocked, you now see the reason instead of a silent empty result.
- Meta connection recovery: The Instagram/Facebook connection flow now detects when it hits a dead end and gives you a clear path to retry, instead of leaving you stuck.
- More reliable image remakes: Image remake operations in the editor are now more stable and less likely to fail silently.
- Gemini image generation fix: Repaired an underlying issue that was causing AI image generation to fail in certain cases.
