Build in public
Changelog
What's new at AI Workflow Center — new tools, new features, and platform milestones, updated as we ship.
Agent-native, policy-enforced platform rebuild
- Link, Dimension, Site, Recipe, Datasource, TaskRun, approval, ledger, commerce, Push, and release contracts now share one Site boundary
- Nine versioned tasks run through a durable outbox Worker with checkpoints, cost records, bounded retries, dead letters, and human output review
- Occupation, task, and workflow routes join daily matchups, Recipe Gallery, PWA offline navigation, and consent-based Web Push
- Public WebMCP is permanently read-only; authenticated REST remains a separate scoped write surface
- Polar checkout now fulfills a signed source release with entitlement, bounded download, refund revocation, SBOM, and AIBOM
- The full Docker topology separates migration, runtime database role, web, MCP, scheduler, worker, browser worker, and TLS routing
Live market data you can cite
- AI Tools Statistics — live pricing medians, free-tier share, and category breakdowns, computed from the verified catalog and refreshed continuously
- Pricing facts and verified price history are folded into each canonical tool page
- Stack cost summaries — what a whole workflow costs per month, on free tiers and on paid plans
- Role pages now show why each tool was picked, anchored to the occupation's official O*NET tasks
- Under the hood: a daily data audit keeps every link, price, and category consistent, and a coverage radar watches the news for hot tools we don't carry yet
