Changelog

What's new

A running log of major changes, new features, and improvements across CommerceSpy releases.

  1. v0.6 Beta

    June 15, 2026

    AI Visibility, ACO depth, and gap diagnosis

    CommerceSpy expands beyond competitor analysis with AI Visibility scoring, deeper ACO Readiness, and an evidence-led explanation of why scores diverge across pillars.

    • AI Visibility scoring across ChatGPT and Gemini, with per-prompt coverage and ranking
    • Visibility gap diagnosis explaining mismatches between AI Visibility, GEO, and ACO
    • Low-confidence flagging when site inspection fails so empty fetches no longer score as zero
    • GEO and ACO data-quality warnings surfaced in the Executive Summary and ACO tab
    • Executive Summary layout: GEO and ACO readiness dials moved above their narrative text
    • Refreshed /overview page reflecting the AI-era platform (CI + GEO + AI Visibility + ACO)
    • Admin: manage per-user report limits and plan status; payment options under consideration
    • BuiltWith ACO proof-of-concept page with example report thumbnails
    • Stricter authorization on admin server functions and route gates
  2. v0.5 Beta

    June 11, 2026

    Pre-launch hardening and UX polish

    A focused pass to get CommerceSpy ready for public launch — Executive Summary redesign, more resilient report access, clearer error messages, better social previews, and a few quality-of-life improvements.

    • Redesigned the Executive Summary as a true dashboard overview — clickable cards, score indicators for GEO and ACO, merged Products and Pricing, prominent AI Visibility, and a selected-pages badge.
    • Section navigation menu now appears directly above the Executive Summary on the Overview tab.
    • More resilient report access — fixed transient "Report not found" errors during ACO, GEO, run, retry, and cancel actions.
    • Friendlier error messages across the app for expired sessions, missing reports, and permission issues.
    • Branded, evergreen CommerceSpy social preview image for links shared on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Slack.
    • Discovery stays available when your monthly report quota is exhausted — explore competitor pages anytime (capped at 10 pages until you have quota again).
    • /updates is now indexed and shows up in the sitemap; auth and password-reset pages are kept out of search results.
    • Tighter TypeScript types in the admin layer and a launch smoke-test checklist for the team.
  3. v0.4 Beta

    June 11, 2026

    AI Commerce Optimization (ACO) Readiness

    New report section that measures how prepared a company is for AI-driven buying journeys, agentic commerce, and machine-driven product discovery — plus a few report layout refinements.

    • New ACO Readiness report section between GEO Readiness and AI Visibility, with an overall 0–100 ACO score and Poor → Leading classification.
    • Category breakdown covering product discoverability, machine readability, content readiness, API integration, AI integration signals, and agentic commerce signals.
    • Clickable evidence links per category sourced from the competitor's homepage, sitemap, robots, llms.txt, OpenAPI, MCP, agents.json, and AI plugin manifests.
    • Top 5 prioritised actions to improve ACO, ranked by impact and implementation effort.
    • In-app explainer spelling out what AI Commerce Optimization (ACO) means.
    • Pricing intelligence moved to the bottom of the Products section for a cleaner product-first read.
