June 30, 2026: News Terminal, Lite trial signup, and platform reliability

Y2 now includes the rebuilt News Terminal, a simpler Lite trial signup path, and reliability improvements across billing, chat, delivery, developer tools, and intelligence data quality.

What changed

News Terminal

• The News Terminal now uses direct-source feeds and appears throughout the product as the Y2 News Terminal / Signal Feed, replacing legacy Gloria-branded copy in active customer surfaces.
• Users can select source feeds, switch between Live Feed and 12h Recap views, refresh the active view, and keep feed/view preferences across reloads.
• Recaps now summarize the same signals shown in the live feed, keeping summaries aligned with the terminal while reducing unnecessary source refreshes.
• News API and reference docs now describe the Y2 News Terminal consistently, with clearer responses for invalid topics, invalid timeframes, and feeds that are still initializing.

Lite trial signup and billing

• New signup now guides users toward a Lite trial by default while keeping Free available as a fallback path.
• Lite checkout starts a 7-day trial and returns users to briefing setup once subscription access is confirmed.
• If checkout finishes before subscription access has synced, users now see a pending setup state with actions to check again or return to plan selection instead of being redirected prematurely.
• Trialing subscriptions now unlock paid access consistently across briefing setup, chat, usage tracking, and billing views.
• Billing views now show clearer workspace subscription status, owner-only billing controls, and profile reclaim notices after plan changes.

App, Chat, and delivery reliability

• App shell navigation and scrolling are more stable on mobile and desktop.
• Chat, profile setup, report delivery, audio, SMS, and webhook workflows received reliability improvements around usage tracking, delivery state, and customer-facing errors.
• Report and briefing layouts now handle long reports, delivery preferences, branding, and profile setup more clearly.

Developer and intelligence workflows

• API Workbench endpoints are now grouped into collapsible categories, making larger API surfaces easier to scan.
• Generated API examples keep pasted API keys out of copied snippets, and the workbench includes a copyable AI Quickstart prompt for teams integrating Y2.
• Aircraft tracks and normalized entity identifiers now feed the intelligence graph more consistently, reducing duplicate entities and improving relationship context across OSINT and Explorer views.

June 18, 2026: Chat reliability, OSINT Monitor, and landing performance

Y2 now hardens chat image generation, streamlines the OSINT monitor workspace, and adds landing-page performance guardrails for responsive marketing assets.

What changed

Chat and configuration reliability

• Image generation now reserves chat credits before external model calls, refunds reserved credits on provider, upload, or storage failures, and avoids double charging when generated images are saved.
• Chat stream error handling now returns a stable INTERNAL_ERROR code and logs redacted identity metadata instead of exposing raw token or subject values.
• Convex client setup and chat HTTP URL derivation now fail fast when VITE_CONVEX_URL is missing.
• Open Graph report routes derive public URLs from SITE_URL, with https://y2.dev as the production fallback.
• Chat web-search source chips now ignore malformed or unsupported URLs instead of throwing during render.

OSINT Monitor experience

• The monitor bottom bar now uses four resizable panes: live video, theater headlines, FININT, and intel findings.
• CNBC is promoted to the first live-news channel, and the removed duplicate news terminal gives more room to the analysis panels.
• Lite workspaces now unlock the full Situation Room experience: live tracking, naval vessels, GPS interference, markets, prediction signals, anomaly/convergence/cascade analysis, exports, and the full paid OSINT limits.
• The monitor layer sidebar now treats every Situation Room layer as Lite-accessible, so Lite users can enable the same map layers available to Pro and Elite workspaces.

Landing-page performance

• Walkthrough images now use versioned responsive srcSet metadata, intrinsic dimensions, eager first-image loading, and lower-priority lazy loading for later images.
• New 960px marketing image derivatives reduce walkthrough screenshot payloads, with immutable Netlify caching for /images/marketing/*.
• bun run check:landing-perf validates stale hero preloads were removed, marketing images stay versioned and responsive, and responsive derivatives remain smaller than their originals.

June 2026: Y2 Elite B2B, Organization Workspaces and Intel API v2

Y2 Workspaces now support the current organization model for companies, teams, and departments. Personal Free, Lite, and Pro workspaces continue to serve individual workflows; Elite creates a shared organization workspace where profiles, reports, API keys, usage, delivery settings, and governance resolve from the active workspace.

This release also expands the Intel API v2 surface served from https://api.y2.dev/api/v2. The new Intel surface is gated by intel:finint, intel:cyber, and intel:explorer scopes. As of July 21, 2026, new API-key access to those scopes requires Pro or Elite. Existing Lite API users retain their keys at historical Lite limits; Lite retains in-app FININT/Cyber/Explorer, and the in-app Cyber dashboard remains available on Free.

What changed

Organization workspaces

• Elite creates a shared B2B workspace for organizations, teams, and departments.
• Owners and admins can invite members, manage roles, and review workspace governance.
• Workspace resources are loaded and protected server-side, including profiles, subscriptions, reports, audio, branding templates, delivery settings, API keys, and usage.
• API keys belong to the active workspace and enforce workspace-scoped resource access, scopes, IP allowlists, and aggregate rate limits.

Elite pricing and limits

Elite includes 10x Pro daily API capacity, 5x Pro API-key capacity, 5x Pro chat budget, 2.5x Pro profile capacity, and organization-only governance.

B2B governance and safety

• Workspace members and audit logs are available on Elite organization workspaces.
• Team usage summaries and API-key activity are available from workspace governance views.
• Invite acceptance activates the paid organization workspace while preserving each user's separate personal Free workspace.
• Free-trial report limits remain user-global, so creating additional workspaces does not mint new trial capacity.

Intel API v2

The new Intel API exposes Y2's ontology layer through HTTP endpoints: deduplicated incidents, canonical entities, entity-relationship graphs, prediction and Y2 markets, emergent signals, and financial intelligence. It serves the same data as the in-app Explorer, FinInt, and Cyber sections.

The 11 endpoints shipped in this launch accept both API keys and x402 pay-per-request:

New Intel scopes:

• intel:finint — markets, finint indicators, non-cyber incidents, market/supply-chain signals
• intel:cyber — CVEs, threat actors, malware families, cyber graph, cyber incidents, cyber/technology signals
• intel:explorer — universal entity catalog, entity drill, entity graph, any-category incidents, broad signal queries

Every v2 response stamps X-Y2-API-Version: 2.0 so programmatic clients can branch on surface. The in-app API Workbench lists Intel endpoints in a dedicated Intel group, the full reference lives in Intel API documentation, and the OpenAPI spec at /api/openapi.yaml includes all 11 v2 paths with operation-level servers: overrides.

Everything in Pro, plus team scale

Elite includes Pro capabilities such as full Situation Room access, audio narration, SMS and webhook delivery, scheduled reports, advanced research, FININT/Cyber/Explorer API scopes, investigation sharing, live/vessel/market tracking, anomaly/convergence/cascade analysis, and data export.
