March 2026 Changelog

March is the month clustering stopped being a side tool. You cluster a topic, then hand the clusters straight to Page Pipeline, which is Article Creator under its new name. Seven AI page templates ship with the app so the handoff has somewhere to land.

Clustering itself got what it was missing: an abort button, control over which topics come in, CSV out, and enough speed to be worth running twice.

Read this if you

  • Build topic clusters and turn them into pages.
  • Used to run Article Creator, now called Page Pipeline.
  • Collect local listings or search results.
  • Work in Chinese, Japanese, Thai or Korean.

Clusters feed the pipeline

  • Send topic clusters into Page Pipeline directly. The plan and the pages stop being two separate jobs.
  • Seven AI page templates ship with the app, so a fresh set of clusters has something to write with.
  • Article Creator is now Page Pipeline. Same tool, name that matches what it does.
  • Templates sort by tag and name, and one you add or delete appears in the dropdown straight away.

Clustering you can steer

  • Add or remove topics by type instead of accepting whatever came back.
  • Abort while clusters are being found. A long run is no longer a commitment.
  • Copy a cluster and you get CSV, so it pastes into a sheet with no export step.
  • Skip Reddit with a toggle when its results are not what you want in the tree.
  • Reddit returns more results per run, and the autocomplete source comes back empty far less often.
  • Clustering is faster, and a topic that fails on the first attempt is retried once rather than dropped.

Scraping and extraction

  • Pages are loaded and rendered in a browser before content is taken, so a site built in JavaScript gives you the article instead of an empty shell.
  • Pulling search results is quicker. SCM only opens a browser for the pages that actually need one.
  • Reading headings off search results gives up after 15 seconds rather than hanging the task.
  • Local listings stopped failing with the INVALID ARGUMENT error, and results come back in the language you chose, including when you paste a Google place url.
  • Bing stopped building urls with a double slash, which was returning odd results.
  • Pulling key terms out of many sites at once no longer eats your memory.

Logs, tables and crashes

  • A busy task no longer slows the whole app down. Log messages arrive in batches instead of flooding the screen.
  • Clicking a task with a huge log, or a row in a big table, responds immediately.
  • Long log messages stop getting cut off, and the log text is bigger.
  • If the window crashes it restarts itself.
  • Page Pipeline stopped crashing on Chinese text and on Japanese key terms, and key term detection is better for Chinese, Japanese and Thai.
  • Page Pipeline stopped waiting forever when its queue is empty.
  • An old prompt with no AI instruction in it runs instead of being skipped.
  • Edit a task and resume, and it continues from the keywords it has not done. Adding or removing keywords no longer throws the resume off.
