Sturdier runs and honest refunds
No big new surface this time. v1.4.0 is a consolidation release: fixes and improvements that make runs finish reliably and keep billing honest.Fixed
Stalled scheduled runs recover on their own. A scheduled visibility run that got stuck used to sit “running” forever and quietly block new runs for that project. Stuck runs are now detected and restarted automatically.Scheduled runs are never blocked by manual-run limits. Guards built to stop rapid manual clicking no longer apply to your schedule, so two projects due in the same window both run.Canceling an AI Indexing run refunds what it should. Cancel before pages start checking and the full reservation comes back. Cancel mid-run and the dialog shows exactly how many pages are billable and how many return to your allowance. Canceling twice can no longer refund twice.One run of a kind at a time. Starting the same check twice on one project now brings the second attempt to the already-active run instead of creating a duplicate. This is enforced at the database level, so it holds even under simultaneous clicks.Readiness keeps your www pages on apex domains. If your site redirects example.com to www.example.com, page discovery now keeps all your sitemap URLs instead of dropping them.Failed AI Indexing pages show as failed. Individual page failures can no longer stall a run or hide in the report.The billing page no longer flickers on first load. A mismatch between the server-drawn and browser-drawn page forced a visible re-render for some users. Both now draw the same page.Improved
AI Indexing reports are shareable links. Every run has a stable URL you can reload, bookmark, or paste to a teammate. Reports stay sign-in protected: someone else’s run link shows “not available,” never your data.Delete topics and brands without losing history. Deleting now hides the item from management and future runs while keeping every past report intact, and you can re-add the same name later.A clearer plan comparison. The pricing and billing pages share one rebuilt plan table that reads correctly in both light and dark mode.Visibility report PDFs show progress. A generating state replaces the silent wait.For API and MCP users
Batch writes. The MCP write tools now accept batches, so an agent can set up prompts, topics, and competitors in a few calls instead of dozens.A video walkthrough of the MCP server. The MCP docs page now embeds a short Loom showing setup end to end.Questions?

Two new tools answer the questions agencies keep asking: which of my pages do AI platforms actually know about, and what should I fix first to get cited. The MCP server also gets a safety and naming cleanup.New
AI Index Coverage. Point a run at your site and see, page by page, whether ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini have your content indexed. Every page gets a clear verdict: indexed, not indexed, or unknown. It lives on its own page in the dashboard, next to Site Readiness. We validated the checks against a hand-labeled dataset, so verdicts are measured, not guessed. When we mark a page indexed on ChatGPT or Claude, we only count pages the assistant actually cited or returned, so those verdicts are highly accurate. Gemini is a lower-confidence signal, since it can occasionally surface a URL it reconstructed rather than one it retrieved, and we are actively tightening it. A run also harvests the citations it already collected and uses them to confirm pages other checks missed, which recovers real coverage at no extra cost. Free includes a monthly page allowance so you can try it on a real site; paid plans raise the cap and unlock full per-page detail.Content Audit. Audit your whole site for how well each page can be cited by AI, then work a prioritized list instead of a wall of data. Each page gets a citation-potential score. You get an ordered worklist of what to fix first, an impact-versus-effort view, and a side-by-side of the current text against a stronger version you can copy. A cross-reference helper points you at a page you already wrote that does the weak part well, so you can mirror it. Free orgs see every page’s score and the worklist; full fix detail, rewrites, and PDF export are on Starter and Agency. Monthly page allowances are 30 on Free, 1,000 on Starter, and 10,000 on Agency.Improved
Larger page allowances on multi-seat plans. AI Indexing and Readiness page allowances now scale with the number of paid seats in your organization, so larger teams get proportionally more room without changing plans.More accurate AI Indexing on Free. The citation cross-check that upgrades a “not indexed” page to “indexed” now runs for everyone, including Free, so free runs report the same corrected coverage paid runs do.For API and MCP users
Read and write are now separate, and every tool says which it is. No tool both reads and writes anymore, and each one carries a hint marking it read-only or as making changes. Compatible MCP clients can run reads without a per-call confirmation and prompt before anything that modifies or deletes. Tools that consume your plan’s allowance now say so in their description.New MCP tools. Agents can drive the two new features end to end:run_ai_index_coverage,get_ai_index_coverage_run,list_ai_index_coverage_runsrun_content_audit,get_content_audit_status,get_content_audit_results,list_content_audits- Site Readiness is now MCP-callable too:
run_readiness_check,get_readiness_run,list_readiness_runs.

Readiness is a new product surface that audits your own site instead of measuring what AI platforms say about you. It crawls a project’s site, scores how discoverable and retrievable it is to AI agents and crawlers, and tells you exactly what to fix. It lives at Readiness in the dashboard, alongside your visibility view.New
Readiness runs and a score out of 100. Point a run at your site and get an overall readiness score with a verdict, broken down across six categories: Discoverability, Content Accessibility, Bot Access Control, Protocol Discovery, Agentic Commerce, and Agentic Browsing. Every check is marked pass, warn, or fail, and carries the issuing authority and maturity behind the standard it tests (Sitemaps.org, IETF, Cloudflare, Google, Schema.org, and more). Results stream in live as the run crawls, check by check.Run history. Every run is saved per project. Reopen any prior run in full detail to see how the site has changed.Tiered scope and a monthly page allowance. Two levers control how much a run crawls: a per-run page cap and a calendar-month pooled page allowance. A run that exceeds your balance is clamped to what’s left, not blocked. Lighthouse sampling stays small and flat, so larger crawls never slow runs down. See limits and allowances for the per-plan numbers.A real taste on Free. Free orgs run a full scan, see the overall score and every check’s status, and get full detail on the first two flagged checks. Upgrade for full detail on every check.Scheduled runs. Starter schedules weekly or monthly; Agency adds daily. A schedule fires automatically so your score keeps tracking your site.PDF export, branding, and share links. Download any run as a PDF, plain or branded with your logo and brand color, with standards-credibility marks. Agency plans can publish a public, revocable share link to a run.Agent Journey waitlist. Join the waitlist for Agent Journey from the Readiness surface.Questions?

Most of this release was internal plumbing to make the product more reliable. One change is visible when you sign up.New
“Where did you find us?” on sign-up. New accounts can tell us how they found OpenLens. It’s optional and takes one click. It helps us learn which channels bring in the people who get the most out of the product.Improved
Steadier behind the scenes. We tightened how account and subscription changes flow through our systems and moved tracing onto a faster pipeline, so fewer things slip through the cracks. Nothing in your dashboard changes.Questions?
Email contact@aibread.com any time.Teams, plans, and your full platform coverage
This release turns OpenLens into a multi-seat product. You can now bring your whole team and your clients into one workspace, pick a plan that fits how you work, and track every major AI platform, including Grok, which is back. Existing accounts keep their current limits as a permanent floor, so nothing you rely on today gets smaller.New
Organizations, seats, and client logins. Your workspace is now an organization you can invite people into.- Roles that match how agencies work. Owners and admins manage the account; members do the work; clients get a read-only login to see only their own projects.
- Seats only count editors. Viewers and client logins are free and unlimited. You pay for the people who actually run and edit work, not for everyone you want to show a dashboard to.
- Invite teammates and clients from your organization settings, and move a teammate’s project access around without removing and re-adding them.
- Starter is for a single brand or a small team: up to 5 projects, with weekly tracking across the core platforms.
- Agency is for running many clients: unlimited projects and seats, daily tracking, and Claude and Grok included.
- Every plan includes the REST API, the MCP server, prompt attributes, full docs, and a public status page.
- Read the full announcement in Introducing Starter and Agency.
Improved
Existing accounts are protected. Every account that existed before this launch keeps its current limits as a floor, permanently. The new plan limits never claw back what you already had. If you were tracking more than the new defaults allow, you keep what you were using.A more reliable sign-in. We fixed several sign-in and sign-up issues, including a hang on the sign-up button in some browsers, accounts with two-factor authentication, and Google sign-up not always carrying you through to the app.A refreshed dashboard. The interface got a research-grade visual refresh, a new logo, and a faster, denser dashboard.A public status page. Check live platform health any time at openlens.com/status.For API and MCP users
No breaking changes. No endpoints or MCP tools were renamed or removed, and existing API keys keep working. Two things are new:- Organization-scoped API keys and MCP. You can now issue keys at the organization level, and MCP sessions see the projects in your active organization. Your existing personal keys continue to work unchanged.
- Per-plan usage on API and MCP. API and MCP calls are now metered against your plan. Each plan includes a monthly allowance; once you pass it, calls return a clear message with an upgrade prompt instead of failing silently.

This release rebuilds the engine behind prompt runs so they survive restarts and deploys without dropping or duplicating prompts, sharpens how we detect your brand and competitors, and adds alias management to project settings.New
Durable, crash-safe prompt runs. We rebuilt how a prompt run executes. Each run is now tracked task-by-task in the database rather than only in memory, so a run keeps a complete, accurate record of which prompts and platforms it covers even if the server restarts mid-run (which happens routinely on every deploy).- No more dropped or duplicated prompts. If a run is interrupted, it resumes from exactly where it left off instead of re-running work it already finished or silently skipping work it hadn’t reached.
- Self-recovering runs. A run that gets stranded by a server restart is now detected and driven to completion on its own, instead of blocking that project’s future scheduled runs until someone notices. Scheduled reports are far less likely to show a gap.
Improved
More accurate brand detection. Brand matching now records which alias triggered each mention, so a mention is tied to the exact name it matched on. That makes detection easier to audit and tightens the line between a real mention and a coincidental substring.Historical reports are not auto-corrected. They reflect the detection logic that was live when the run happened. Run a fresh scan if you want a project re-scored against the latest logic.More complete answer coverage.- Google AI Overview retries. When a search doesn’t surface an AI Overview on the first try, OpenLens now retries before recording it as absent, so transient misses don’t understate your visibility.
- Consistent outcome recording. Answers from every platform now consistently record whether they returned content, so success and no-content cases are reported accurately across all platforms.
For API and MCP users
No breaking changes for API or MCP integrations in this release. No endpoints or MCP tools were renamed or removed, and no request or response shapes changed in a way that requires you to update an existing integration.Known issues
If Grok is a critical platform for your reporting, reach out and we’ll let you know as soon as coverage is back.Questions?
If something broke, looks wrong, or you want a project re-scored against the latest brand-detection logic, email contact@aibread.com.Prompt attributes, workstreams, and clearer naming
The last two releases (May 8 and May 16) shipped a new way to slice your data, a portfolio view for tracking goals over time, more AI platforms behind the scenes, and a cleaner vocabulary throughout the product.New
Prompt attributes. Tag every prompt with one or more attributes. Branded vs non-branded, language, or any custom label you define per project (intent, funnel stage, persona, region). Every dashboard, metric, and report can now be filtered by those tags, so you can answer questions like “how do we rank on non-branded prompts in Spanish?” in one click.- Manage attributes from the new Prompt Attributes section under project settings. Create, rename, and archive option lists per project.
- Edit attributes in place on any prompt. Analytics recompute against the live label set, so re-tagging is instant.
- Auto-tagging on new prompts. When OpenLens generates prompts during onboarding, it now also assigns attributes automatically using Claude Sonnet 4.6.
- Live filter preview. The attribute filter shows which prompts will be included while you build the filter, before you apply it.
openlens.com/docs 301-redirects here.Improved
Clearer terminology. We renamed two long-standing concepts so the product matches how agencies actually talk about the work:- Keywords are now topics. A topic is the underlying buyer-intent theme; the prompts under it are the actual questions sent to AI platforms.
- Queries are now prompts, and a query run is now a prompt run.
For API and MCP users
REST API renames./api/queries/run,/api/queries/status, and/api/queries/resultsare replaced by/api/prompts/run,/api/prompts/status, and/api/prompts/results.- The onboarding confirm payload accepts
topicListin place ofkeywordList. The legacy field is still accepted during the transition.
run_queriesbecomesrun_promptsget_query_resultsbecomesget_platform_responsesadd_keywordbecomesadd_topic, and the rest of thequery_*andkeyword_*tool surface follows the same rename.add_promptnow requires a non-emptyattributesarray. The simplest valid value is["branded"]or["non-branded"]. You can also pass any custom attribute already defined on the project.
list_prompt_attributes,add_prompt_attribute,archive_prompt_attribute,unarchive_prompt_attributelist_workstreams,get_workstream,get_workstream_breakdown,manage_workstream,update_workstream_goal
query_run_* are now prompt_run_*, and keyword_* events are now topic_*. Every event also stamps a form_factor property (web, api, mcp, or cron) so you can split usage by surface.
