April 2026
CurrentScanner reliability — CSRF token auto-refresh
Fixed CSRF token expiration causing scanner and other fetch() calls to fail intermittently. Token now auto-refreshes transparently in the background.
COA Verification Tier 1 — AI Analyst launched
Upload any Certificate of Analysis, get an instant AI-powered authenticity analysis with cryptographic hash proof and a tamper-proof verify page. The core BrandrAI trust layer is now live in production.
Video processing on Azure Container Apps
New Go microservice for video transcoding, deployed as an Azure Container App Job with Laravel webhook integration. Built to scale video without bottlenecking the main app.
Branded share links with custom CTAs
Share link pages now render with each brand's custom call-to-action footer. When your customer verifies, they see your brand — not ours.
Document file preview
PDFs, Word docs, and spreadsheets now preview inline via Google Docs Viewer. No more "download to see." Useful for COA pages where customers want to see the actual lab report.
Provider-agnostic AI image editing & generation
New AI image service that works across multiple providers (OpenAI, Stability, Flux). Brands can edit, generate, and transform product photography with credits.
Credit system with Stripe billing
Full credit pack purchases, Stripe webhooks, balance tracking, and transaction history. Pay-as-you-go for AI generation, overage verifications, and add-on services.
Persistent image caching on DigitalOcean Spaces
Images now cache on DO Spaces as persistent storage instead of local disk. Cache survives deployments, CDN gets hits faster, customer uploads never re-process.
Automated database backups
New db-backup service with automated daily snapshots and cleanup script. Brand data is now backed up independently of the main infrastructure.
Workspace-aware storage limits
Storage quotas now respect workspace membership and plan tier. Invited members inherit workspace limits rather than consuming their own.
Free plan tier live
$0/month tier with 5 verifications, basic DAM, and watermarked share links. Zero-friction signup for brands trying BrandrAI.
Semantic search with Typesense
Full-text + semantic search across brands, products, COAs, and assets. Finds what you mean, not just what you type. Also: bash-native healthchecks (no more curl-in-image dependency).
CI/CD rebuild — Docker image pipeline
Redesigned deployment workflow to build and deploy Docker images from tagged releases. Added maintenance mode during deploys. Zero-downtime target.
Redis + Postgres health checks
Proper service dependencies and health checks for Redis and the database. Deploys now wait for services to be actually ready, not just started.
Brand Intelligence Phase 1
AI-powered brand analysis and insights. Feeds into Brand Guide Builder, AI content generation, and the Cheat Code tool. Phase 1 shipped — phase 2 in development.
