What is new in CLAQON
CLAQON updates, from the most recent to the oldest. Each entry summarises a change already integrated into the product and says whether it is in beta. No audience figures and no promises.
Change history
Spend this month: one log for everything you pay forBeta
Every call to a paid provider (AI model, search, voice, image, video and X) writes an entry to a single spend log. The “Spend this month” card shows the month total in UTC, the breakdown by source and whether the figure is complete. If an entry is lost, the spend cap fails closed: it rejects instead of letting work through.
AI model catalogue reviewed
The entries of the compared AI model catalogue were reviewed against each provider’s official sources. Every price carries its source and verification date, and the catalogue expires if it is not renewed.
The product is now called CLAQON
The product takes the name CLAQON and its own visual identity: an accessible blue accent in the dark and light themes, and the play symbol inside the Q. The home screen becomes a control room with what needs your attention, the production lines per account and the monthly spend.
Per-network copy and monthly media price renewalBeta
Direct publishing now writes per-network copy: title and description for YouTube, caption for Instagram and Facebook and text for X. Paid voice, image and video prices are stored with their source and date, expire after at most 30 days and, once expired, nothing paid is quoted.
Simple mode: publish your own videos automaticallyBeta
Simple mode reduces the panel to seven sections (Home, Videos, Uploads, Accounts, Results, Connections and Guides). You drop your videos in a Drive folder and they go out on schedule; everything that costs money sits in "Paid options", off until you accept its cost. The mode only hides things: it deletes nothing.
Manual publishing and stopping an account
From the storyboard you can publish a finished edit by hand, choosing destinations and accepting the X cost separately. You can also stop an entire account —production and publishing— with confirmation by name, check that it is stopped and reactivate it.
AI characters, in beta and off by defaultBeta
A new video type with fictional characters in dialogue, lip-sync only on the shots that need it and an estimated cost before spending. Nothing is paid without accepting the cost and authorising each video. It is off by default and pending verification with real footage.
Tinta, direct publishing and operations monitoringBeta
Arriving: Tinta (text posts on Threads, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Mastodon, Telegram, X, Facebook and Instagram, with X always behind a confirmation), direct publishing from Drive and a set of monitors: YouTube quota, checks on what was published, connection expiry, a monthly spend cap, Telegram alerts and signed outgoing webhooks. Everything ships switched off.
Continuous improvement with safeguardsBeta
Continuous improvement measures mature YouTube pieces and adjusts only safe levers (caption casing, visual look, style manual, hook exploration and idea priority), with one change every 7 days and a rollback if results get worse. It never changes the content, voice, schedule, budget or platforms on its own: those arrive as proposals.
