# Changelog

> Every AEOmeter release in plain language, newest first: engine support, extension changes and new dashboard features, with dates.

What changed in AEOmeter, newest first. Version numbers match the Chrome extension. The web app updates continuously, and changes are listed under the release they shipped with.

## 0.7.2: Run one prompt now, fewer extension permissions

Released October 16, 2026.

- Run a single prompt right away from its page, on every selected engine with **Run all now** or on one engine with **Run**.
- The extension no longer needs permission to read and change each AI site. It reaches their pages only through Chrome's debugger, so it installs with fewer permissions.
- Switch organizations from the account menu and brands from the card at the top of the sidebar. Switching keeps you on the same section.
- Press Cmd+K to jump to any brand or organization. New brands and organizations open in a dialog, and organization settings have their own Brands page.

## 0.7.1: Google AI Overviews lower on the page, cancel queued checks

Released October 15, 2026.

- Google AI Overviews that appear below the first search result are now captured, with their sources. Before, these checks could wrongly end as "No AI Overview shown".
- Queued checks are listed on the monitoring page, and you can cancel them one at a time or all at once. Checks that already started are left alone. The same action is available to AI assistants through MCP.

## 0.7.0: Gemini removed

Released October 15, 2026.

- Gemini is no longer supported. It never completed a reliable test run: every attempt ended in a service-error reply. Stored Gemini answers were deleted and Gemini was removed from schedules.
- AEOmeter now checks ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews.

## 0.6.0: Parallel checks and a new way to read answers

Released October 14, 2026.

- Each prompt now goes to all its engines at the same time, in background tabs grouped as "AEOmeter". The next prompt starts when every check of the current one has finished.
- Checks type and click like a person through Chrome's debugger, so Chrome shows its "started debugging this browser" banner while they run. Clicking **Cancel** on the banner pauses the run.
- Answers are read from the page as Markdown once the engine shows it has finished. Perplexity answers and their full source list come from Perplexity's own thread data.
- Google AI Overviews that appear directly in the search page are captured.
- ChatGPT's private-mode menu works again.
- A check interrupted before the prompt was sent starts over in a fresh tab. One interrupted after sending fails, so a prompt is never sent twice.

## Earlier versions (0.1.0 to 0.5.1)

AEOmeter went from a local prototype to a working product in its first week. These versions shipped before named releases.

### October 13, 2026 (0.5.0 and 0.5.1)

- A shorter path from sign-up to the first answer: new brands get starter prompts and a queued ChatGPT check, the extension opens a Connect page on install, and checks start as soon as it connects.
- The toolbar icon turns red when a check needs you. A check blocked by a missing sign-in fails on its own instead of holding up the other engines.
- Organization settings with members.
- Fixes for checks that got stuck after a tab closed, ChatGPT source pills saved as citations, trend charts that skipped days, and engine choices that did not survive a reload.

### October 8, 2026

- Organizations with invitations. Connected browsers are shared across the organization.
- A prompt-by-engine matrix and a detail page for every prompt.
- A new answer viewer that opens beside the list, with Answer, Sources and Details tabs.
- Light, dark and system themes. Website analytics load only after you consent.

### October 7, 2026

- The web workspace: brand-first setup with competitors, aliases and domains, and Overview, Prompts, Answers, Sources, Monitoring and Settings views.
- Daily schedules with a time zone. Answers upload from the extension to your dashboard.
- Prompt tags, pause and bulk actions, plus CSV and plain-text import with a preview.
- Competitor comparisons with explicit denominators, gaps, and CSV export. Editing a prompt starts a new baseline.
- Continue with Google sign-in, a public privacy policy, and an MCP server so AI assistants can read your results.

### October 6, 2026 (0.1.0 to 0.4.4)

- The first Chrome extension: add brands and prompts, run them on the AI engines in background tabs, and save each finished answer with its sources and brand mentions.
- Private modes are turned on before a prompt is typed: ChatGPT temporary chat, Claude and Perplexity incognito, Google without personalisation.
- Finished tabs close automatically, and pending checks explain what they are waiting for.
