Release Archive
Major launches and smaller operational updates now share one structure: newest releases first, grouped by month, with enough context on the timeline to decide whether the full write-up is worth opening.
5 releases published.
Screening Room now charts how your audience feels at every moment of a video, from a 15-second spot to a full-length feature, so you can see exactly which beats land, which drag, and where attention breaks.
Screen any ad, content piece, or film to a synthetic audience and get a structured feedback report — emotional response, intent, clarity, verbatims, and demographics — in minutes. Then chat with the audience to ask why.
FishDog now supports enterprise SSO with SCIM. Users sign in through your own identity provider, and revoking access there ends FishDog sessions and API keys automatically.
When a thesis's Channel Checks and Expert Calls finish, Thesis Lab now assembles them into a single Thesis Summary - a scannable verdict with the source evidence behind every claim one click away.
Upload a video, pick a research panel, and each persona reacts individually. Tested with groups of ten. Available on media and production tiers.
7 releases published.
You can now hand-pick which Expert Calls and Channel Checks Thesis Lab recruits for each thesis. The AI proposes the panel plan; you keep, edit, or delete each one before recruitment runs.
Recruit research participants by occupation, industry, health profile, and medication usage. 30+ targeting dimensions including GLP-1 filtering, occupation synonym expansion, and a value discovery endpoint.
Compose hedge-fund investment theses, recruit synthetic expert-call and channel-check panels, ask structured questions, and read findings programmatically over REST or MCP server. Mass thesis validation at portfolio scale. Enterprise tier.
Thesis Lab now decomposes sector theses, multi-name baskets and macro themes — no longer single-ticker only — and Channel Check research starts itself as soon as a panel finishes recruiting.
AI agents can now self-register for a FishDog free-tier API key in one terminal call — no signup, no credit card, no browser. Claude Code gets a working key in under five seconds and starts running studies against ~12 shared synthetic personas.
Thesis Lab's AI recruiter now finds the niche specialists you ask for — ESG-focused buy-side analysts, membership-economics operators, retail-finance hybrids — combining four matching strategies in parallel.
A new `POST /cli/auth/agent-register` endpoint lets Claude Code (and any other AI agent) get a free FishDog API key in five seconds — no browser, no OAuth, no context switch. Identity comes from the agent's own config.
2 releases published.
State an investment thesis. A team of AI hedge-fund analysts decomposes it, auto-recruits synthetic channel-check and expert-network panels, and assembles the public record — filings, news, consensus, price history, volume — in one workspace. Beta.
The new FishDog product design rolled out across the web app this week — refreshed nav, study flow, admin pages, and a properly usable mobile layout. First wave of a longer redesign.
10 releases published.
The brand cutover is a marketing story you've probably already heard. This is the technical version — what changed in the API surface, what still works on the legacy domain, and what an integrator should update.
You can now sign in to FishDog with a Google account, in addition to email and password. Authenticated browser sessions also extend to thirty days, with both options refined through April.
Browser-side JavaScript can now call the v1 API directly. CORS shipped this week — preflight handled, allowlist plus regex on Origin, rate-limit headers exposed. One restriction: `/v1/billing/*` stays server-only.
The overview chat now has a wand button. Type a one-line prompt — "we're losing Gen Z to Liquid Death" — and it drafts a complete editable study brief: objective, target panel, seven questions. About fifteen seconds.
A weekly synthetic version of the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index — the headline ICS, plus current conditions (ICC) and expectations (ICE) — computed from a 100-persona panel and overlaid against the official UMich monthly release.
The FishDog API documentation has been rewritten end to end — proper quickstart, real examples on every endpoint, an error guide that names the actual failures, a workflow diagram, and a Postman collection.
The Zeitgeist mood survey now ships with proper visualisations — a Mood Balance index, a Mood Compass scatter plot, and a Recovery vs Strain breakdown. Public landing-page chart endpoint included.
You can now import Polymarket events into FishDog as calibration targets — give a recruited panel the same questions a real prediction market is pricing, and compare the panel's predictions to the live market.
Questions can now carry image and PDF attachments. Show personas a logo, a packaging mock-up, a one-pager, or a poster, and ask what they think. Up to eight files per question, ten megabytes each.
Two new endpoints let you put a single question to a single persona — or to an entire group — without scaffolding a study. Useful for sense-checks, follow-ups, and quick reactions where the survey overhead doesn't pay back.
6 releases published.
The in-product research agent has been rebuilt. Replies stream as they're generated, tool calls are far more reliable, and the agent now consults a versioned playbook of FishDog's own API on every turn — so it stops guessing.
Each FishDog organisation now provisions a default API key with sensible scopes attached. No more sharing a single org-wide key, and no more guessing which scopes a new key actually needs.
Each FishDog persona now has its own profile page — chat with the persona one-to-one, read their background and personality, see what they've been reading. Each persona also has a generated voice.
You can now search the full FishDog persona library — `GET /v1/agents/search` — and add specific personas to a group by hand. Useful when the panel you want isn't a clean demographic slice.
The FishDog Slack agent now runs the full research workflow from a DM — recruit a panel, ask questions, get insights, share results. Twelve workstreams, one install, no platform-switching.
You can now describe the panel you want in a sentence — "twelve American mothers in California who buy organic baby food" — and FishDog recruits it. Filters, screening, and refinement run in the background; you get progress updates as they happen.
