Asset Gallery, AI Logo Generation, Streaming Chat, and Mobile Overhaul

Mon, 30 Mar 2026 12:00:00 GMT

This cycle's headline: a new Asset Gallery that organizes every image in your workspace into a single browsable, filterable view. We also shipped complete AI logo generation, migrated Ask AI chat to real-time streaming, rebuilt the mobile experience, and made substantial performance improvements throughout.

NEW: Asset Gallery — every workspace image in one place
Browse all your persona avatars, environment images, AI-generated logos, and brand logos in a Pinterest-style masonry gallery. Filter by type (Images, Logos, Avatars), source (Persona, Brand, Upload), or product name. Click any image to open a full-screen lightbox with keyboard navigation, source links back to the original persona or brand, and one-click downloads. Assets are indexed automatically as you generate persona images and brand logos. [Learn about Assets →](/docs/assets)

NEW: Complete AI logo generation system
Generate professional logos from any brand profile with AI. The system creates 4 distinct logo concepts (1 credit), generates all concepts in parallel (2 credits), lets you select your favorite, then produces 4 variations: logo mark only, dark mode, colored background, and monochrome (1 credit). Each variation downloads as a high-quality PNG. Total cost: 4 credits for a complete logo design package. [Learn about Logo Generation →](/docs/brands/logo-generation)

NEW: Real-time streaming chat for Ask AI
Chat with personas and documents now streams responses token-by-token, eliminating timeout failures and delivering instant feedback. The new architecture uses the Vercel AI SDK for reliable streaming. Responses appear immediately as the AI writes them, suggested questions load reliably after each answer, and session recovery handles auth expiration gracefully. Performance improved from 20-30 second delays to 1-2 second first responses. [Learn about Persona Chat →](/docs/personas/chat)

NEW: Mobile experience rebuilt from the ground up
Completely overhauled mobile navigation with proper touch interactions. Mobile menus now have large tap targets, visual press states, and close automatically when you navigate. Added quick workspace navigation for logged-in users in the public mobile menu. Fixed hover states that don't work on touch devices, improved bookmark interactions, and eliminated phantom behaviors across the entire mobile experience.

FEATURE: Enhanced brand publishing workflow
Brand profiles now use the same sophisticated publish popover as persona sets and projects. Publish internally for workspace sharing, toggle community visibility, copy view-only links, and unpublish with granular control. The flow includes last-published timestamps and streamlined sharing options that match the rest of the platform. [Learn about Publishing →](/docs/community)

FEATURE: Major performance improvements across all pages
Homepage, community pages, and workspace sections now use Suspense streaming with skeleton loading states. Above-the-fold content renders immediately while data streams in asynchronously. Eliminated redundant database queries, moved workspace-only providers out of public routes, and added dynamic imports for heavy components in settings. PostHog analytics now loads lazily to reduce initial bundle size.

FEATURE: Brand audience section with persona linking
Brand profiles can now connect to persona sets through a dedicated Audience section. Link existing persona sets or create new ones directly from the brand page. The section displays target audience descriptions from brand analysis alongside persona avatar cards that navigate to individual persona profiles. Strengthens the connection between brand identity and customer understanding. [Learn about Brands →](/docs/brands)

FEATURE: Logo collection with multiple sources
Brand logo sections now aggregate logos from SimpleIcons (3000+ SVG brands), DuckDuckGo, Clearbit, Google Favicons, and extracted site assets. Each logo includes download buttons with format badges (SVG/PNG) and attempts direct downloads with CORS fallback. Added PDF brand package export with comprehensive multi-page layouts covering brand story, colors, typography, voice guidelines, and visual direction. [Learn about Brand exports →](/docs/brands)

FEATURE: Public brand pages with full content parity
Community brand pages now show complete brand profiles with all sections: messaging, story, colors, typography, voice, visual direction, logos, and brand audit. Free access to viewing content and downloading logos, with sign-up gates for exporting configs and forking brands. Enhanced SEO with JSON-LD organization schemas and richer meta descriptions. [Browse community brands →](/community/brands)

FIXES: Ask AI chat reliability and quality improvements
Fixed suggested questions not loading after streaming responses, eliminated input becoming permanently disabled, and resolved session expiration crashes. Restored full persona behavioral prompts after performance optimizations had degraded response quality. Added retry logic with timeouts for reliable infinite chat sessions and improved error handling throughout the chat flow.

FIXES: Mobile UX polish across platform features
Mobile sidebar navigation now provides immediate visual feedback on tap, closes properly when navigating, and hides hover-dependent bookmark buttons. Marketing mobile menu gained scrollable content, consistent press states, and workspace navigation links for authenticated users. Document editor AI tools dropdown now renders above other page elements with proper z-index layering.

Brand Identity System, API Launch, and Major UX Improvements

Mon, 23 Mar 2026 12:00:00 GMT

This two-week cycle brought our biggest feature yet: a complete brand identity system for generating and managing brand guidelines. We also launched our public REST API, redesigned the homepage into a proper marketing experience, and made substantial mobile and performance improvements.

NEW: Complete brand identity system
Generate comprehensive brand guidelines from any URL or description. Extract color palettes, typography, voice and tone, messaging frameworks, and visual direction principles. Each brand profile includes logos, brand story, audience targeting, and brand audit scoring. Share brand guidelines publicly or export as PDF, CSS variables, or Tailwind config. [Learn about Brands →](/docs/brands)

NEW: Public REST API for developers

Added social proof section, testimonial cards, and community showcase featuring real persona sets and brand profiles from the platform. [Visit the homepage →](/)

NEW: AI agent-friendly content negotiation
All public pages now support `Accept: text/markdown` for structured content consumption by AI agents and tools. Includes `/llms.txt` discovery file and automatic content formatting. Perfect for AI coding tools that need customer context or research automation workflows. [Learn about Agent Context →](/docs/personas/agent-context)

FEATURE: Mobile experience overhaul
Completely rebuilt mobile navigation with proper tap targets, press states, and automatic menu closing on navigation. Added workspace links to public mobile menu for logged-in users. Fixed sidebar interactions, bookmark buttons, and eliminated phantom hover states that don't work on touch devices.

FEATURE: Performance optimizations across the board
Homepage loads instantly with Suspense streaming — above-fold content ships immediately while community section streams in with skeletons. Workspace pages eliminated redundant database queries, moved workspace-only providers out of public routes, and added lazy-loading for PostHog analytics. Settings pages now use dynamic imports and proper loading states.

FEATURE: SEO improvements for all public pages
Added structured JSON-LD data, canonical URLs, and enhanced meta descriptions to personas, brands, projects, and documents. Updated sitemap generation and robots directives.

New Developer settings page for API key management with admin controls, key creation/revocation, and usage monitoring. Added comprehensive API documentation with endpoint reference, authentication guide, and integration examples. [Get your API key →](/docs/api)

FIXES: Content negotiation and mobile polish
Fixed drag-and-scroll carousel interactions on desktop and mobile with proper pointer event handling. Improved settings page responsiveness, developer key display truncation, and eliminated layout overflow on small screens.

FIXES: Brand system reliability and security
Enhanced JSON parsing robustness for AI responses, implemented comprehensive input validation for colors and fonts, and added proper CSRF protection for all brand server actions. Improved error handling and user feedback throughout the brand creation flow.

Homepage Redesign, Mobile Polish, and Reliability Improvements

Mon, 16 Mar 2026 12:00:00 GMT

This week we redesigned the homepage into a full marketing experience, polished mobile UX across the app, and made persona generation significantly more reliable. We also improved page performance and added smart credit pack purchasing.

NEW: Homepage redesign with value communication
The homepage is now a complete marketing page that clearly explains what Quikest does and why it matters. New sections include How It Works (3-step flow), Capabilities (4 key features), and Built for Your Team (specific use cases for Product, Marketing, and Sales). The hero leads with "Know your customers before you build" instead of just describing features. [Visit the homepage →](/)

NEW: Redesigned credit pack purchase experience
Credit pack cards now lead with task count as the hero number, show dollar savings explicitly with strikethrough pricing, and highlight Popular and Best Value options. Makes it easier to understand value and choose the right pack size. [Learn about credit packs →](/docs/billing)

FEATURE: Mobile experience improvements
Mobile menus now close automatically when you navigate to a new page. The Settings link opens a proper settings menu instead of jumping straight to Preferences. Input fields no longer trigger browser zoom on focus, and share popovers center properly on mobile screens.

FEATURE: More reliable persona generation
Persona recommendations now succeed on the first attempt far more often. We increased model timeouts, added smarter retry logic, and softened quality assertions that were rejecting valid output. The new system also survives tab switching — if you come back to a failed generation, it automatically retries. [Learn about creating personas →](/docs/personas/creating-personas)

FEATURE: Faster page loads throughout the app
Projects, Personas, and Documents pages now skip unnecessary database queries when the credits system is active. This eliminates up to 12 redundant queries per page load, making navigation noticeably snappier across the workspace.

FEATURE: Enhanced SEO for all public pages
All public pages now have proper title tags, meta descriptions, Open Graph tags, and canonical URLs. The sitemap includes pricing and changelog pages. Better search visibility for users discovering Quikest. [Explore the community →](/community)

FIXES: Members page updated for workspace billing
The members page no longer shows per-seat pricing or paid/free badges since all plans include unlimited users. Added an inline invite form and simplified role descriptions for the credits era.

FIXES: Credit pack modal and subscription updates
All upgrade buttons work independently (no more disabling all buttons when clicking one). Free plans show "Free" instead of "$0/mo". Subscription management reflects the new task-based language throughout.

Faster Pages, Smarter Mobile, and a More Reliable Persona Engine

Sat, 14 Mar 2026 12:00:00 GMT

This week we focused on speed and polish. Pages load faster with fewer unnecessary queries, mobile navigation works the way you'd expect, and persona recommendations are significantly more reliable. We also redesigned the credit pack purchase experience and shipped a wave of mobile improvements.

NEW: Redesigned credit pack purchase cards
The "Buy More Tasks" modal now leads with the task count as the hero number, shows dollar savings explicitly, and highlights the best-value options. Discounted packs display strikethrough pricing so you can see exactly what you're saving. [Learn about credit packs →](/docs/billing)

NEW: Mobile settings menu
Tapping Settings on mobile now opens a full settings menu instead of dropping you straight into Preferences. Pick exactly which settings page you want before navigating.

FEATURE: Faster page loads across the app
Projects, Personas, and Documents pages now skip unnecessary database queries when the credits system is active. This eliminates up to 12 redundant queries per page load, making navigation noticeably snappier.

FEATURE: Smarter document table performance
The documents table now uses an indexed lookup for project associations instead of scanning all records for every row. Larger workspaces will feel this improvement the most. [Learn about Documents →](/docs/documents)

FEATURE: More reliable persona recommendations
Persona generation now succeeds on the first attempt far more often. We increased model timeouts, added smarter retry logic, and stopped rejecting valid personas over minor vocabulary differences. The new loading experience shows six AI agents working together with live progress updates. [Learn about creating personas →](/docs/personas/creating-personas)

FEATURE: Persona recommendations survive tab switching
If you switch tabs while personas are generating, the request keeps running in the background. Come back and your results are waiting. No more lost progress from checking another tab.

FIXES: Mobile menus close after navigation
All mobile sidebar menus now close automatically when you tap a navigation item. Previously, the page would change behind the menu but the menu stayed open.

FIXES: No more zoom on mobile inputs
Tapping input fields on mobile no longer triggers browser zoom. The keyboard appears cleanly without shifting or scaling the page.

FIXES: Share popover works on mobile
The share and publish popover on persona pages now centers properly on mobile screens and no longer shows stuck tooltips on touch devices.

FIXES: Members page updated for workspace billing
The members page no longer shows per-seat pricing, paid/free badges, or seat counts. All plans include unlimited users, and the page reflects that with a cleaner inline invite form. [See billing details →](/docs/billing)

Task-Based Credits, Smarter Billing, and a Redesigned Subscription Experience

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 12:00:00 GMT

We replaced seat-based pricing with a task-based credit system that gives every workspace unlimited users. Choose a plan, use tasks for AI actions, and top up anytime. The new Subscription page puts everything in one place.

NEW: Task-based credit system
Every AI action in Quikest now costs a clear number of tasks. Generate a persona (3 tasks), create a document (1 task), chat with a persona (0.1 tasks), or use AI editor tools (0.5 tasks). No more guessing about token limits or seat counts. [See the full pricing breakdown →](/docs/billing)

NEW: Five flexible pricing tiers
Choose the plan that fits your team. Free (10 tasks to explore), Starter ($9/mo, 30 tasks), Pro ($19/mo, 70 tasks), Agency ($49/mo, 300 tasks), or Business ($149/mo, 1,000 tasks). Every plan includes unlimited users. Save 20% with annual billing. [Compare all plans →](/docs/billing)

NEW: Credit pack top-ups
Need more tasks mid-month? Buy credit packs starting at $5. Bulk packs offer up to 37% savings. Purchased credits never expire. [Learn about credit packs →](/docs/billing)

FEATURE: Redesigned Subscription page
Upgrade, downgrade, cancel, or resubscribe directly from the new Subscription page. See your remaining tasks, plan details, next billing date, and manage everything in one place. No more jumping between separate billing and plans pages.

FEATURE: Instant subscription management
Cancel and resubscribe with one click. Downgrade through the Manage Subscription modal with a clear summary of what changes. Your subscription credits stay active for 30 days after cancellation so nothing is lost abruptly.

FIXES: Real-time credit updates
Your task balance now updates instantly after purchases, upgrades, and subscription changes. No more refreshing the page to see updated numbers.

Persona Skills Export and Community Publishing

Mon, 23 Feb 2026 12:00:00 GMT

Export your personas as structured skill files for coding agents, and publish your work to the Quikest community for others to discover and learn from.

NEW: Persona Skills export
Export your persona set as a structured directory of skill files, ready to drop into your coding agent's workspace. Each persona becomes a detailed reference file that AI coding assistants can use to build with real customer context. [Learn more about Persona Skills →](/docs/personas/skills-export)

FEATURE: Community publishing
Share your personas, projects, and documents with the Quikest community. Published work is discoverable by other users and helps build a shared library of customer understanding across teams and industries. [Learn more about Publishing →](/docs/community)

FEATURE: Improved persona chat
Chat with any persona to pressure-test ideas, validate messaging, or explore customer perspectives. Web search toggle lets personas ground their responses in real-time information when you need current context. [Learn more about Persona Chat →](/docs/personas/chat)

FIXES: Smoother onboarding flow
The new workspace setup experience is faster and clearer, with better guidance through the URL-to-persona pipeline. First-time users can generate their initial persona set in under two minutes. [Get started →](/docs/getting-started)
