Changelog — Sigly Platform Release Notes

Beta 0.9.26 — CI Engine 2.0 & AI Salience

Released 24 February 2026

A complete overhaul of Sigly's Competitive Intelligence system — now powered by 4 AI engines with citation stability tracking and a new AI Salience feature for understanding how AI perceives your brand versus competitors.

Zero-Prompt Citation Intelligence

Beta 0.9.25 — Off-Site Authority & Citation Intelligence

Released 16 February 2026

"Why does AI recommend them instead of me?" This update answers that question by looking beyond your website.

Off-Site Authority Analysis (New)

• Understand the hidden signals that drive AI citations — even when a competitor's website scores lower than yours.

Beta 0.9.18 — The Agentic Era

Released 13 February 2026

We've launched the first independent diagnostic on the market to audit your site's readiness for AI Agents. Our engine now runs the Sigly Agentic Score (SAS) through 4 sequential probes:

WebMCP Readiness (New Core Feature)

• Probe 1 — Discovery: Maps how agents find your site via llms.txt, well-known paths, and Link headers.
• Probe 2 — Negotiation: Simulates Chrome's handshake. We test CORS headers and preflight requests to ensure access isn't blocked.
• Probe 3 — Connection Flow: We open a real SSE (Server-Sent Events) connection, measure response latency, and extract the JSON-RPC manifest.
• Probe 4 — Semantic Intelligence: Our AI analyzes description density, parameter precision, and write safety.
• Growth and Expert plans now include Semantic Friction analysis (AI comprehension friction).

AI-Powered Optimization Engine

• Intelligent Suggestions: Our AI reads your entire audit and crafts a prioritized roadmap to push your Agentic Score higher — no guesswork, just clear next steps.
• Architecture-Aware Guidance: Suggestions adapt to your site's reality. Whether you run server-side MCP, browser-native forms, or a hybrid setup, the AI meets you where you are.
• Semantic Friction Scoring: We measure how confidently an AI agent can understand and act on your tools — think of it as a readability test, but for machines.

Additional Highlights

• Discovered Tools: View the complete list of tools your site exposes to agents (MCP or HTML Forms).
• Gatekeeper Scoring: We've introduced a safety system where critical access failures (like CORS) automatically cap the score, reflecting the reality of browser-level blocking.

Why it matters: With Chrome's native WebMCP integration, your website is no longer just a document to be read — it's an interface to be operated. If you fail Probe 2, you are invisible to the browser's native intelligence. And now, Sigly doesn't just tell you what's wrong — it tells you exactly how to fix it.
