Major release featuring multiple significant updates to Beton.

Neo-Brutalist Design Overhaul

The application now features a consistent visual design throughout, matching the aesthetic previously seen only on landing pages. This creates a unified experience rather than a generic dashboard with branded marketing pages.

Firecrawl Integration

Users can now connect Firecrawl instances to enhance their data context. The platform supports both personal API keys and cloud-based options via the Settings panel. This enables the AI agent to:

  • Review company website content directly
  • Cross-reference site information with product usage data
  • Provide more comprehensive intent signals

Demo Mode & Improved Onboarding

The redesigned flow addresses user confusion by allowing visitors to explore the platform with demonstration data before commitment. Key improvements include:

  • No login, credit card, or initial configuration required
  • Demo mode clearly labeled throughout
  • Login available on every screen
  • Six-step setup wizard covering integrations, field mapping, domain configuration, and billing

MCP Server Integration

Inspector now includes an 18-tool Model Context Protocol server enabling AI agents to interact with the platform. The settings interface provides four sections: setup instructions, method documentation, active session monitoring, and request logging.

The sidebar evolved from a flat list to a hierarchical structure with collapsible sections for Memory, Settings, and other categories. State persists across sessions, and deep-linking automatically expands relevant sections.

Additional Updates

  • Fixed agent-linked display issues
  • Added Intercom chat support for website visitors
  • Bug fixes for agent data model integration

What’s Next

  • Custom signal creation with PostHog event picker
  • Unified detection cron job refactoring
  • Slack as a signal destination
  • PostHog insights integration for agents
