AutoInk now publishes straight to your self-hosted Strapi headless CMS — Strapi v4 and v5 both supported.
- Strapi is the eighth publishing destination, alongside GitHub, WordPress, Ghost, Notion, Webflow, Framer, and Payload
- Works with both Strapi v4 and v5 — pick your version and AutoInk maps the request shape to match
- Connect with a Strapi API token; field names, draft/published state, and your public URL pattern are all configurable per project
- Test-connection probe validates the token against your instance before you save
Three new pages on the marketing site so you can see what we're building before it ships, what we're thinking about next, and subscribe to releases without checking back.
- /roadmap — three columns (Planned, In progress, Recently launched) with everything we're actively working on
- /whats-next — the product bets behind the planned column, written long-form so you know why we picked them
- /changelog.xml — RSS feed for this page; paste autoink.io into any reader and releases land in your inbox
AutoInk now tells you which AI engines started or stopped citing your articles each week — by email Monday morning, and in a new Outcomes tab inside the workspace.
- Monday digest email summarising the week's wins (newly cited), losses (lost a citation), and the visibility-rate trend
- New Outcomes tab in every workspace: weekly KPIs, an eight-week trend, and the full list of articles that flipped
- Per-article drill-down comparing the structure of your content to the page each AI engine cited — definition placement, table presence, code blocks, word count, internal heading count
- Re-scan an article on demand if you've made changes and want to know whether the engines noticed
Two new ways to take an article out of AutoInk: download it in the format you need, or publish it inside your workspace and share a clean read-only URL.
- Download any article as Markdown, HTML, .docx, or PDF — Chinese / Japanese / Korean characters and tables included
- Publish to your workspace as a finished state — no CMS required, no GitHub repo required
- One-click share link with optional 24-hour / 7-day / 30-day expiry; revoke anytime and the URL goes dark
- Shared pages render with social-card metadata so links unfurl properly in Slack, Twitter, LinkedIn
AutoInk moved onto a globally distributed platform. Pages load from the edge closer to you, and the back end scales to zero between runs so you're not paying for idle infrastructure.
- Marketing pages and the console served from 300+ edges worldwide
- Background jobs (auto-scans, scheduled runs, weekly digests) now triggered by edge timers — more reliable than a single cron host
- Sub-second response time on the read path from most regions
The marketing site grows up: pricing has its own URL with a full feature matrix, and Privacy / Terms / Security are now public-readable.
- /pricing — credit economy explainer, per-action cost table, side-by-side plan comparison, and dedicated FAQ
- /privacy and /terms — v1 prose covering subprocessors, LLM data flow, retention, AUP, and refund policy
- /security — encryption stack, audit findings, and responsible-disclosure address
- /changelog — this page
Free-tier workspaces are now metered against their credit allowance. Runs that would go negative are blocked before they start.
- Out-of-credits message in the console gives you two clear paths: top up, or upgrade
- Daily spend cap per workspace protects you from a runaway auto-publish loop that you'd rather wake up to than find out about on the invoice
- Three-day grace period if a renewal payment fails — we email you, account stays active, no work lost
- Our prices stay honest: we reconcile what we charge against what our providers actually bill us, every day
AutoInk goes from solo tool to team product. Five plans, monthly or annual, with shared billing and seat-based access.
- Team workspaces — invite by email, owner / member roles, workspace switcher, leave-and-return semantics
- Five plans live (Free / Solo / Pro / Business / Enterprise) with credit allowances and per-tier feature gating
- Stripe checkout for subscriptions; customer portal for upgrades, downgrades, payment-method changes, and cancellation
- Annual billing offers ~17 % off the monthly rate
- Top-up packs ($10 / $25 / $50) for paid plans
A typography-first overhaul of the in-app console: tighter density, a calmer reading rhythm, and your credit balance always visible at a glance.
- New type rhythm applied site-wide — every screen reads as one product
- Credit balance and cycle window now live in the sidebar footer, no clicking through Settings
- Console loads roughly four times faster on first visit; heavy editors only download when you actually open them
We ran a full internal review against an industry checklist and the OWASP top 10. Everything found was fixed in the same release.
- Passwords never stored in plaintext; multi-factor authentication available on every account
- Connected CMS credentials and OAuth tokens are encrypted at rest
- Login throttling that holds up against credential-stuffing botnets, not just casual brute-force
- Sessions invalidated everywhere the moment you change your password
- Live security posture at /security — what's protected, what's audited, where to report a vulnerability
Structured citation scans miss a fifth to two-fifths of real engine usage. AutoInk now does a second pass on every "not cited" result to flag content the engine clearly used but didn't link.
- New four-state badge per article × engine: Cited, Mentioned (estimated), Not cited, Not scanned
- Inspector shows why the second pass made the call, in plain language
- Adds a negligible fraction of a credit per check; no plan changes needed
AutoInk now asks ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Grok, and Google AI Overviews whether they're citing your articles, and records the answer every day.
- Per-article timeline of citations across all six engines
- Project-level breakdown — which engine surfaces you most, which one ignores you
- Manual scan trigger and per-project auto-scan scheduler with cost cap
- First scan fires three days after publish; weekly thereafter
Drafts now ship with an inline 0–100 SEO score and three publish modes per project.
- SEO score breaks down into structure, keyword coverage, internal links, and length
- Per-project publish modes: auto (ship the draft), review (queue for human approval), manual (save and stop)
- Pending-review queue with batch publish
Before drafting, AutoInk reads the pages currently winning the search result and shapes the outline against them.
- Live look at the top 10 results for your target keyword
- Heading and section patterns pulled out so the draft starts from a structure that already works
- Outline is editable before drafting kicks off — accept it, prune it, rewrite it
Drafts go from the run view to your live site in one click — seven destinations supported.
- GitHub, WordPress, Ghost, Notion, Webflow, Framer, Payload
- Your credentials are encrypted and only used at the moment of publish
- Test-connection probe before saving any new destination so you don't find out it's broken at publish time
Day one. The full pipeline — keyword discovery, AI drafting, quality gates, publish — runs end-to-end.
- Keyword discovery with intent classification
- AI drafting on DeepSeek, Claude, Gemini, and OpenAI models
- Quality gates (minimum word count, minimum SEO score) hold weak drafts before publish
- Cost tracking per run with daily caps
