The latest tax-inclusive monthly preview prices are $9.99 for Plus, $29.99 for Pro, and $79.99 for Ultra. No order or charge is created yet.

- 2026-07-16MinorImproved
A more focused update feed, plus a full changelog
Product update notifications now focus on the changes that matter, with a new page for the full history.
Notifications now highlight important updates and show fewer minor notices. To review the complete history including small refinements, open the new product update log page from the bottom of the notification panel.
- 2026-07-16MinorFixed
More reliable notification alerts and empty states
Unread alerts now appear after the page opens, while empty announcement lists remain stable without repeated loading.
You no longer need to open the notification center before seeing a new product update or urgent announcement indicator. Notification status refreshes appropriately when you return to the page without repeatedly interrupting your reading.
When product updates or announcements have no content, the panel now stays in a stable empty state instead of flickering. A clear Retry action is available when loading does not complete.
- 2026-07-16MinorFixed
Image descriptions on English pages are now in English
News image descriptions and alternative text now follow the page language.
Image analysis now produces both Chinese and English descriptions. The English feed, News Story galleries, and AI Daily no longer show Chinese image descriptions, while Chinese pages remain unchanged.
- 2026-07-16MinorNew
New "Insight only" filter in the feed
You can now filter the home feed to show only stories that have a SynthePulse Insight deep read.
The home feed toolbar now has an Insight toggle. Turn it on to browse only the stories that already have a SynthePulse Insight deep read, so you can focus on the important changes we have analyzed.
It composes with the quality, multi-source, source, and search filters, and the state is kept in the link so it survives sharing and reloads. Turn it off to view all stories again.
- 2026-07-15MinorImproved
Smoother feedback and motion
Saving, read later, reactions, and sharing now confirm instantly, and filters, expanders, and pop-ups feel smoother.
You can now see an instant confirmation when you save, add to read later, react, or copy a share link, and removing from read later offers a one-tap undo.
The feed now transitions smoothly and shows an updating hint while sorting, quality, or search change, and expanders, filter panels, and the image viewer open more clearly. Animations turn off automatically when you prefer reduced motion.
- 2026-07-15MajorImproved
English pages now show English content
When you switch to English, the news feed and the AI Daily now display in English.
On the English interface, article titles and summaries in the news feed and the AI Daily (including the daily briefing and highlights) now appear in English, even when a story comes from a Chinese source. The Chinese interface is unchanged.
- 2026-07-15MinorImproved
Tall images in the daily report stay compact
Portrait photos and long screenshots in the daily report no longer stretch too tall, so the whole report is now easier to scan.
Previously a portrait photo or long screenshot in the daily report could stretch very tall and fill most of the screen, breaking your reading flow.
These images now stay at a sensible height, while landscape images are unaffected. You can still open the full-size viewer to see the whole picture.
- 2026-07-14MinorChanged
Updated personal plan tiers and preview pricing
You can now compare Free, Plus, Pro, and Ultra more clearly, with updated preview pricing and launch offers.
Plus is the recommended standard ongoing service, Pro is designed for deeper personalization, and Ultra is for heavy users who need the full API, Skill, and automation experience beyond the website. SynthePulse Insight remains publicly readable.
The subscription page now displays preview monthly prices of $7.99, $19.99, and $59.99, together with quarterly, annual, and first-billing-period launch offers. Live payments remain unavailable, so current prices and entitlements are shown as a pre-launch preview.
- 2026-07-14MinorFixed
Fixed consecutive dialog focus
Keyboard focus now remains in the active layer when quality and feedback dialogs are opened in sequence.
When quality, feedback, and similar dialogs are closed and opened in sequence, the previous overlay no longer steals focus back after the next one appears. Keyboard users can stay in the current action layer more reliably.
- 2026-07-14MajorImproved
The content value profile now uses five clearer dimensions
Each article's content value profile now explains its rating with event magnitude, AI focus, lasting value, information density, and evidence strength.
Open the content value profile on an article card and you can now see five dimensions: event magnitude, AI focus, lasting value, information density, and evidence strength. The first three tell you how big the event itself is, and the last two show how much concrete detail the report provides, so it is easier to tell why a story matters.
- 2026-07-14MinorFixed
Consistent page titles and branding
Browser tabs, search titles, and share titles now identify the current page while showing AI SynthePulse exactly once.
The home page, AI Daily, News Stories, topic centers, sources, Saved items, subscriptions, and error pages now use one bilingual title system. Cases where the brand was missing, repeated, or shown without the page name are fixed, and browser, search, and social-share titles now stay aligned.
- 2026-07-14MinorImproved
Improved news image relevance
News feeds and News Story galleries now prefer images that directly explain the event, stay text-only when none qualify, and keep decorative or unrelated brand visuals out.
News images now receive a more consistent relevance check. Product interfaces, charts, documents, and on-scene visuals that directly support the event remain available. Abstract backgrounds, navigation decoration, QR codes, avatars, and unrelated brand graphics no longer fill public galleries. When no suitable image is available, the story stays in a clean text-only layout instead of showing a low-value placeholder.
- 2026-07-14MinorFixed
View complete news images
Images in the news feed and News Stories now stay fully visible, and you can open a larger viewer to inspect details.
Charts, product interfaces, document screenshots, and portrait images no longer lose their edges just to fill a card. The feed remains compact, while opening an image gives you a larger view with navigation, descriptions, and source links for the same News Story.
- 2026-07-14MinorImproved
Improved list search, filtering, and draft protection
News search and admin lists are easier to use continuously, pagination and counts are clearer, and unsaved edits remain protected during navigation.
Homepage search now clearly separates what you are typing from the query already applied, while keeping the input editable during updates. Multiple terms, older news, and relevant results are easier to find, with clearer result counts and next-page availability.
Admin user, feedback, and content-localization lists now support previous and next pages while preserving filters. Announcement and localization edits are protected before searching, filtering, switching records, or leaving. Source bulk actions, version selection, and Agent API credential filters also provide clearer scope and status feedback.
- 2026-07-14MinorFixed
Fixed gallery layering over story lists
Opening a gallery from a list now reliably covers the page, so later cards and sidebars no longer overlap or intercept clicks.
Image galleries on the homepage, News Story pages, and AI Daily now stay fully above the page. Opening any gallery from a list keeps later cards, sticky navigation, and sidebars behind it; closing returns focus to the original image control while keyboard navigation and page scrolling remain stable.
- 2026-07-14MinorFixed
Improved feed image height
Images in the news feed now stay compact so one story no longer dominates the page.
The homepage feed now treats images as quick visual context and limits their height in list cards. You can still open the full gallery for images, descriptions, and source links, while day-to-day scanning makes it easier to compare several stories in a row.
- 2026-07-14MajorImproved
Refreshed browsing and content management
Quality filters, sorting, search, AI Daily, sources, and saved items are clearer, with smoother mobile and keyboard navigation.
The home feed now shows B-grade and higher content by default, keeping stronger items in focus. You can still choose All grades whenever you want to include C-grade content. Sorting is now consistently labeled Overall and Latest, while search runs after confirmation so active filters and results are easier to understand.
Paths between the home feed, AI Daily, News Stories, the source directory, and Saved items are shorter, with saved searches, bulk management, and recovery actions now available. Mobile navigation, touch targets, keyboard focus, and reduced-motion support are also improved across both Chinese and English pages.
- 2026-07-13MajorNew
Images and visual descriptions for News Stories
The feed, News Story pages, and AI Daily now show selected news imagery with an on-demand full gallery.
AI SynthePulse now identifies imagery that directly supports a News Story across multiple reports while filtering avatars, QR codes, ads, and low-information assets. Lists stay compact with one representative image and a remaining count; the gallery adds an objective Chinese visual description and links to each source article.
- 2026-07-13MinorFixed
Improved News Story grouping and source coverage
Reports about the same event group more reliably, while clearly different reports are less likely to be grouped together.
AI SynthePulse now groups reports about the same News Story more reliably and reduces cases where different events appear in one group. News Story pages should show primary reporting, source coverage, and related content that better match the same event.
- 2026-07-13MinorFixed
Fixed sign-in flicker during refresh and navigation
Signed-in users now keep their avatar, account details, and plan visible while refreshing or moving between primary pages.
Account state is now restored with the first page response. Moving between the Feed, AI Daily, Saved articles, Subscription, and News Story pages no longer shows repeated account placeholders, and temporary network errors are not presented as a sign-out.
- 2026-07-13MinorFixed
Signal feed pagination is steadier
As you keep browsing, feed order is more consistent and AI Daily keeps stronger representative coverage.
When you page through the Signal feed, the order is more stable and less likely to jump between pages. AI Daily also keeps a stronger representative report for each News Story so you can catch the key development faster.
- 2026-07-13MinorImproved
Improved localized content and source labels
Chinese and English interface terms are more consistent, with clear labels when source text is shown.
Articles, daily briefings, News Stories, related coverage, and saved items now prefer content in your selected language and clearly label source-language fallbacks.
- 2026-07-13MinorImproved
Improved Insight scheduling and capacity governance
You can get Insights for critical News Stories sooner, while historical backfill progresses gradually in the background.
Administrator requests, core Stories from the latest AI Daily report, and newly public News Stories now receive capacity first, so the most important Insights can appear sooner. Historical backfill progresses gradually when capacity is healthy, while public pages continue showing the latest successful version during waits or retries. The Admin capacity console and navigation provide complete Chinese and English entry points.
- 2026-07-13MinorImproved
Improved feed, filtering, and keyboard navigation
Continuous loading, source filters, and saved preferences are more reliable, with complete bilingual and keyboard states across notifications and dialogs.
The feed now preserves previously loaded results more reliably, while source categories and initial preferences no longer override active choices. Notifications, account controls, feedback, quality details, and source templates now support Escape, focus restoration, reduced motion, and localized error states.
English pages now preserve the signed-in account in the first server response without redundant session requests. News Story images, daily-report visuals, and galleries load correctly again, and consecutive overlays no longer steal focus from the active control.
- 2026-07-13MajorImproved
New topic and content-method pages
Important AI changes are easier to follow by topic, with clearer source and correction principles.
AI SynthePulse now organizes important News Stories, topic timelines, and daily editorial judgment into stable reading entry points. You can follow a topic over time and review how sources, AI use, and corrections are handled.
- 2026-07-13MinorFixed
Times now follow your browser time zone
Visible times across news, daily reports, notifications, and admin pages now use the current browser time zone.
This fixes shifted visible times for readers and admins in different time zones. The app now shows news, News Stories, daily reports, notifications, subscription status, and admin times in your current browser time zone.
- 2026-07-13MinorNew
Controlled Agent API and official Skill
The first administrator pilot can issue personal credentials on the Web site and query AI news through the official Skill.
Administrator pilot users can now issue personal credentials from the Skill page and use the official Skill to query news, News Stories, daily reports, and sources. Public Web pages remain readable without signing in. This rollout is currently limited to the first administrators, with invite and general access planned later.
- 2026-07-12MajorNew
Subscription status and entitlement management
You can now review your current plan, subscription status, and entitlement usage.
After signing in, open subscription management to review plan status, billing period, and entitlement usage. Live payments remain unavailable, and Pro and Ultra cannot be purchased until their core capabilities are ready.
- 2026-07-12MinorNew
Product updates and site announcements
You can now review recent product changes and site events from the top navigation.
The notification entry sits next to Profile and separates product updates from site announcements.
- 2026-07-12MajorNew
SynthePulse Insight is now bilingual
You can now read each deep analysis in Chinese or English with the same facts and judgments.
SynthePulse Insight now provides Chinese and English versions for the same deep analysis. Both versions keep the same facts, numbers, and judgments so language switching does not change the meaning.
- 2026-07-10MajorNew
Favorites and read later
Keep long-term references or add articles to a read-later queue.
Signed-in users can manage favorites and read-later items independently from a dedicated saved view.
