Beton Product Newsletter
Major release: simplified onboarding, Firecrawl integration, MCP support for AI agents, Intercom support, and a complete visual overhaul with neo-brutalist design.
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.
Navigation Restructuring
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
