RSS feed
Files section with four color-coded folders and a table of files showing type, size, and upload time

You can now group your files into folders in Files & Media. Create a folder from the toolbar, then move your files into it.

  • Drag to move. Drag files onto a folder to move them in, or onto the breadcrumb to move them back out.
  • Color and emoji. Give a folder a color and an emoji so it stands out.
  • Search across folders. Search and filters look through every folder at once, and each result shows where it lives.

To get started, open the Files & Media tab and click New folder. Learn more in the Files & Media docs.

The SEO and AEO Review panel with a health score of 100, check counts, and a grouped list of passing findability checks

You can now review your App for search engines and AI answer engines, right from the App Builder. Open the Branding & SEO tab, select SEO Review, and run a review to get a health score and a checklist of what to fix.

  • A graded checklist. Each review scores your App and groups its findings across findability, metadata, content, AI search, and technical checks, so you can see what passes and what needs work.
  • Built for AI answer engines too. Alongside classic search-engine checks, the review looks at whether AI answer engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity can read and cite your App.
  • Fix with the agent. Send one finding, a whole group, or everything to the agent. It verifies each issue in your App and fixes what it finds.

To get started, open the Branding & SEO tab in the App Builder and run a review. Available on the Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans. Learn more in the Branding & SEO docs.

Hercules Auth sign-in screen in Spanish with localized provider buttons

You can now set your Auth Portal to English, Spanish, French, or German. Your users see sign-in, sign-up, one-time codes, password reset, and account settings in the language you choose.

Setting a default language is available on Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans. To get started, open Branding & SEO → Customize Auth Portal and choose a Default Language. Learn more in the Customize Auth Portal docs.

Branches

You can now create branches in Hercules. A branch is an isolated copy of your app with its own backend where you can build and test changes without touching your live version. When you're done, merge the branch into main or close it to discard.

  • Isolated backend. Each branch gets its own backend so changes stay separate from your main app.
  • Replicate production data. Optionally copy your production database into the branch to test against real data.
  • Parallel work. Run multiple branches at once to let the Agent work on several features simultaneously.
  • Merge or close. Merge to bring changes into main, or close to discard them with no impact on your app.

To get started, open any App and click the New branch button in the chat threads sidebar. Learn more in the Branches docs.

The Hercules AI Gateway now does more than generate text. The same client and managed billing handle images and audio, with no extra API keys to set up.

  • Image generation. Create images from a text prompt.
  • Text to speech. Turn written text into spoken audio.
  • Speech to text. Transcribe audio and video files into text.

To get started, ask Hercules to add image, speech, or transcription features to your app. Learn more in the AI Gateway docs.

App Audits

Audit screen showing Product, Design, Performance, and Documentation cards, each with a Run Audit button

You can now run audits that have Hercules review your App across product, design, engineering, security, marketing, and more. Hercules reports its findings in the chat, ordered by impact, and you decide what to fix.

  • Findings ranked by impact. Each one explains what is wrong, why it matters, and what to do about it.
  • 20+ audit types. Run checks for accessibility, SEO, performance, database, dependencies, legal, and more.
  • Fixes from chat. Ask Hercules to apply any recommendation without leaving the conversation.
  • Nothing changes on its own. Audits only review and report. Your App stays as-is until you apply a fix.

To get started, open the Audits tab in the App Builder sidebar and click Run Audit. Learn more in the Audits docs.

The Transfer screen with a warning about what is removed and a field for the receiving organization ID

You can now transfer an App you own to another organization, right from the App's settings. Open Settings, then the Transfer tab, and enter the receiving organization's ID.

  • The receiving organization approves. They see an incoming transfer and choose to accept or reject, so an App never moves without both sides agreeing.
  • Your code and data come along. Commerce, custom email senders, and API keys are not carried over and are set up again in the new organization.
  • Once every 30 days. Each App can be transferred once in any 30-day window.

Available on the Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans. Learn more in the App transfer docs.
