Changelog

What's new in Beam.

A dated log of what shipped, in plain language. Newest first.

July 13, 2026

A public API you can build on

  • A public developer API for chat completions, embeddings, knowledge search, and full agent management, callable from your own code.
  • API keys are scoped to exactly what they need (chat, agents, embeddings, or knowledge), and every response carries rate-limit headers so you always know where you stand.
  • Safe retries: send an Idempotency-Key on any POST and it will never be applied twice.
  • Billing now enforces exactly what the pricing page promises, including a real grace period after a failed payment before new invitations are blocked.

Enterprise controls across the board

  • Every action that changes data is checked against a central permission system, not just hidden behind a disabled button.
  • Sharing works the same way everywhere: grant a person, a group, or the whole workspace access to a project, agent, prompt, or workflow.
  • Admins can set retention windows that automatically clean up old chats, files, and workflow runs, and export or delete an entire workspace.
  • If a model provider goes down, requests now fail over to a healthy one automatically, instead of quietly falling back to a canned response.
  • Usage budgets, scoped to an organization, user, agent, workflow, or project, can warn admins or hard-block spend once a limit is hit.
  • Workspaces can restrict which apps are allowed to connect, and any potentially destructive integration action now asks for explicit confirmation before it runs.

A visual way to build and debug workflows

  • A drag-and-drop canvas for building workflows, alongside the existing step-list editor, with branching logic, undo/redo, auto-layout, and validation as you build.
  • A real run debugger: see a live timeline of every step, expand its input and output, retry from the exact node that failed, replay a run with new input, and compare two runs side by side.
  • Publish, roll back, duplicate, export, and import workflow versions. Exports always strip secrets first.
  • A template gallery to start a new workflow from instead of a blank canvas.

Workflows became a real automation engine

  • Workflow versions are saved as immutable snapshots, so a run always executes exactly what was published, and rolling back is safe.
  • Runs now survive a crash: if something goes wrong mid-run, it resumes from where it left off instead of restarting or silently failing.
  • A bigger library of steps to build with: file and web search, image generation, notifications, sandboxed code execution, integration actions with a confirmation step before anything destructive runs, timed delays, capped loops, and named outputs you can pass between steps.
  • Workflows can now pause and wait for a teammate's approval before continuing, with an expiry policy, delivery to their inbox, and a permanent record of who approved or rejected and when.

One home base for getting started

  • A Get Started page that tracks real progress through the product, marked complete only by things you actually did, never a fake progress bar.
  • Optional example content you can load into a fresh workspace to see how things fit together, and remove again just as easily. Always clearly labeled, never loaded automatically.
  • Projects now act as a real boundary: files you upload and agents you pin to a project are automatically in scope for chats inside it.
  • Pages load with proper skeletons and branded error screens instead of blank flashes or dead ends, and empty states point you toward the next useful action.
  • Usage analytics were rebuilt to be privacy-safe: a fixed catalog of product events, sensitive fields stripped before anything is recorded, everything scoped to your organization.
  • Settings and admin controls were consolidated into a single control plane, with the nav filtered to what your role can actually use.

Honest claims, real leads, and a working site foundation

  • Removed every certification and hosting claim we could not back up, and replaced fictional customer stories with clearly labeled example content.
  • The contact form now submits to a real, rate-limited endpoint that reaches us, with basic spam protection built in.
  • Fixed the release checks themselves, including an unskipped bug that broke a dialog on mobile.
  • Added the SEO and social groundwork: sitemap, robots rules, a web app manifest, share-preview image, and structured data.
