Changelog

A running record of what’s new in Jootle. The most recent month is at the top.

This isn’t a release-by-release log (that’s the internal version). It’s the customer-facing summary of “what’s actually different in the product since last time you looked”.

May 2026

Jootle launched. The product is now generally available. This handbook, the blog, and the marketing site shipped alongside.

What was in the launch release:

All toolkits in the built-in tour (Built-in toolkits) are available.
AI provider support: Claude (Sign-in or BYOK), OpenAI, Google Gemini, DeepSeek, Anthropic-direct.
Channels: web, Telegram, email, Slack (beta).
Knowledge graph backed by PostgreSQL (replaced earlier graph DB).
Plan tiers: Starter, Pro, Business, with Enterprise on request.
Stripe-based billing with automatic tax handling.

Known limits as of launch (also called out in their chapters):

Routing rules apply to background tasks; chat still routes through Primary only.
Inbound SMS is experimental; outbound SMS is stable.
WhatsApp setup is per-customer-walkthrough, not yet self-service.
“Publish” status on artifacts exists as a label; the action hooks (push to hosted site, trigger webhook) are not yet wired.
Plan downgrade enforcement is partial.

Pre-launch (archived)

For the curious: development of Jootle happened in earnest from late 2025 through May 2026. The platform went through nine foundation phases (the “Foundation Rework” sprint), an LLM layer overhaul, multiple toolkit waves, and a launch sprint.

The detailed history is internal. The summary is: this product was built quickly, with daily testing on a real instance (Jarvis, the founder’s own Jootle), and feedback was incorporated continuously. Many design decisions you’ll find in the handbook come from real production incidents that we learned from.

How this changelog gets updated

Each customer-visible release lands here as a short summary, plus links to the chapters affected. We don’t list every internal change; the focus is on what you’d notice as a user.

If you want the developer-facing release notes, those live at github.com/ShaneG/jootle-knowledge and in our release announcements on the blog.
