Fixed Link

No more blank screen when your app preview restarts

If your live app preview went down while you were reading or clicking around, you used to get a broken error page with no explanation. Now you'll see a clear 'preview restarting' message and it recovers automatically.

  • No more mysterious broken previews — you get a clear status message instead
  • Your preview session stays alive even while you're reading the AI's response or browsing your app
  • Idle previews now stay warm for up to 90 minutes so you don't lose your place
New Link

Ask the AI builder to file a support ticket for you

When something goes wrong while building, you can now ask the AI directly in the editor chat to submit a support ticket — no need to stop what you're doing and navigate elsewhere. It handles it for you, right in the conversation.

  • Tell the AI 'file a support ticket about this error' and it does it instantly
  • Works from inside the app builder chat without switching screens
  • Ticket content is automatically formatted so the support team gets the full context
Fixed Link

Action buttons no longer fall off-screen on iPhone

On smaller phone screens, the buttons inside your data tables were getting cut off and hard to tap. They now wrap cleanly and are fully accessible on any phone size.

  • Browse, edit, and delete table actions are now fully visible on iPhone and small Android screens
  • No more hunting for hidden buttons or sideways scrolling inside table cards
Improved Link

Dashboard looks great on your phone now

Your OverSkill dashboard is now fully optimized for mobile screens. Stats, headers, and buttons stack cleanly on any phone — no more crowded or overlapping layouts.

  • Dashboard works beautifully on iPhone and Android screens
  • Stats and action buttons no longer overlap on small screens
  • Easier to manage your apps and invite users while on the go
Improved Link

See exactly what the AI is doing while it thinks

Those long silent pauses before the AI started responding are gone — you can now see live progress updates and which AI model is working on your app, so you always know something is actually happening.

  • Real-time status updates fill the 30–90 second thinking window before generation begins
  • See which AI model is handling your request
  • No more staring at a spinner wondering if it's broken
Fixed Link

Support tickets now display messages clearly, no more raw symbols

Messages in your support tickets — especially those created through the AI chat — now render cleanly with proper formatting, bold text, and bullet lists instead of showing raw markdown symbols like ** and -.

  • Ticket messages are now easy to read for both you and the support team
  • Bold text, lists, and structure from AI-written tickets display correctly
  • Applies to both your ticket view and the support team's view
Fixed Link

Help chat in the support panel works reliably again

The in-app help chat was crashing for every user who sent a message. It's now fixed — you can ask questions and get answers without hitting an error.

  • Support chat no longer shows an error when you send a message
  • AI-powered help responses load correctly every time
New Link

New users get bonus credits to hit the ground running

Every new team now starts with a welcome credit pack so you can explore, prototype, and build your first app without worrying about running out before you've even gotten started.

  • Generous starter credits included for every new account
  • Build and iterate on your first app without hitting a wall early
  • Credits apply instantly on signup — no action needed
Improved Link

AI suggestions in the editor are more accurate and less repetitive

The AI builder was occasionally re-applying the same fix multiple times when it hit a snag, causing redundant or conflicting changes to your app. It now recovers from errors more cleanly and moves forward without getting stuck in loops.

  • Fewer cases where the AI seems to repeat itself or undo its own work
  • Builds complete more reliably when the AI encounters an unexpected issue
Fixed Link

AI app generation failure rate drops from 33% to near zero

A bug was silently causing 1 in 3 AI-generated apps to fail mid-build with no clear reason. That's now resolved — your builds complete reliably.

  • Significantly fewer failed or stalled app builds
  • AI generation now completes successfully on the first attempt far more often
Fixed Link

AI auto-fix loop no longer gets stuck silently failing

A bug was causing the AI's automatic error-correction to fail repeatedly without telling you why, leaving apps broken and unresponsive. This is now fixed so the AI can reliably repair issues in your app.

  • Auto-fix now completes reliably instead of silently looping and failing
  • Affected apps that were stuck will now recover correctly
  • Fixes worked across all AI model tiers
Fixed Link

Signing up through a shared app link works end-to-end

Users clicking an app invite or OAuth link were getting stranded on the wrong page after signing up. The full flow — confirm your email, sign in, land in the right app — now works correctly.

  • New users land in the correct app after confirming their email
  • No more dead ends or wrong-page redirects after signing up via a shared link
Fixed Link

Out-of-credits message no longer shows a confusing double error

When your credits ran out mid-generation, you were seeing two overlapping error messages at once — a confusing pile-up. Now you get one clean, clear prompt to top up and continue.

  • Single, clear out-of-credits notification instead of a confusing double message
  • Easier to understand what happened and what to do next
Fixed Link

Trial app previews and claim links work correctly

Two bugs were causing trial app preview URLs to show errors and claim links to appear broken even after a successful build. Both are now fixed.

  • Preview URLs for trial apps load correctly instead of showing an error page
  • Claiming a trial app no longer gets stuck or falsely reports a failure
Safer Link

Malicious content hidden inside uploaded files is now blocked

Uploaded documents (text, CSV, code, HTML, and others) are now screened for attempts to hijack your AI — keeping your app builds safe from hidden instructions that could manipulate the AI's behavior.

  • Protects your builds from prompt injection attacks hidden in uploaded files
  • Covers all common document types: .txt, .csv, .md, code files, HTML, JSON, YAML, XML
  • Works automatically — nothing you need to configure
Fixed Link

AI no longer ignores you when you say something isn't showing up

When you told the AI that an image or element wasn't appearing in your app, it would sometimes give up and just respond with text instead of fixing it. Now it keeps trying to actually solve the problem.

  • The AI now takes action when you report something isn't displaying correctly
  • No more unhelpful text-only replies when a visual fix is needed
Improved Link

App dashboard gets a cleaner, sharper look

The Overview tab in your app's dashboard has been redesigned with a refined monochrome style and green accents — making it easier to scan your app's status, visibility settings, and key actions at a glance.

  • Cleaner dark-surface layout with consistent green highlights on active items
  • Active navigation items are now clearly marked with a green icon
  • Fixes visual glitches where raw template text was occasionally visible on screen
New Link

OverSkill apps are now discoverable by AI agents across the web

OverSkill now publishes a full suite of machine-readable discovery files so AI agents, browsers with built-in AI, and automation tools can find and understand what your apps can do — automatically.

  • Apps built on OverSkill are now visible to AI agents that scan the web for available tools
  • Compatible with the latest AI browser features (like Chrome's built-in AI tools)
  • Supports emerging open standards for agent-to-agent discovery — future-proofing your builds

Fixed Link

Attach any file type in chat — docs, PDFs, code & more

The '+' button in the app builder chat now lets you attach documents, PDFs, spreadsheets, and code files — not just images. Whatever you drag in, you can now also browse and pick the same way.

  • Upload PDFs, text files, spreadsheets, and code files directly from the file picker
  • Consistent with drag-and-drop, which already supported all file types
  • No workarounds needed — just click '+' and attach what you need
Fixed Link

Your uploaded logos & images now stick across the entire conversation

Upload your logo once and the AI will use it throughout your entire app — no more re-uploading the same image 6+ times because the AI forgot it was there.

  • Upload a logo or image and it stays in context for every follow-up request
  • AI now saves your uploaded images directly instead of regenerating similar ones
  • Eliminates the most-reported frustration with image handling in chat
Improved Link

Connected an integration? Your AI now picks up right where it left off

After connecting a third-party service (like a data or finance tool), the AI assistant now automatically resumes your conversation — no need to type 'okay I connected it, please continue' anymore.

  • AI resumes mid-build flow immediately after you authorize a new connection
  • No manual prompting required to continue after OAuth
  • Works reliably even on slower connections
Faster Link

Team & Enterprise: your build environment wakes up in ~1 second

On Team and Enterprise plans, your app's build environment is now paused instead of shut down when you're away — so when you return, everything is back up and running in about a second, exactly as you left it.

  • Resume building almost instantly after stepping away — no full cold start
  • Your running dev environment, packages, and state are all preserved
  • Available on Team and Enterprise plans
Fixed Link

Connect 1,000+ integrations — Google Calendar, Cats API, and more work first try

The AI no longer burns your credits guessing wrong action names for integrations. It now looks up the exact correct action before running it, and walks you through connecting any service before building code that depends on it.

  • AI stops guessing integration action names — no more walls of red 'Failed' badges
  • Google Calendar, Polygon, and other services prompt you to connect before the AI writes any code
  • After connecting a service, you're sent back to your app — not to a generic settings page
Fixed Link

Uploaded PDFs now respect the 100-page limit as advertised

The documented 100-page PDF limit was silently not enforced in production since early 2026 — oversized files would appear to upload but fail mid-way through AI generation. This is now properly enforced upfront so you get a clear error instead of a wasted build attempt.

  • PDF uploads over 100 pages are rejected immediately with a clear message
  • No more silent failures or burned generation time on oversized files
  • Behavior now matches what's described in the docs
Fixed Link

File storage cleaned up automatically when you delete chat messages

Previously, files attached to chat messages left behind hidden storage copies even after the message was deleted. Those orphaned files are now cleaned up automatically, keeping your storage tidy.

  • No more hidden file clutter accumulating in the background
  • Deleting a chat message now removes all associated attachments completely
  • Happens automatically — no action needed on your part
Fixed Link

Your app's live URL is always correct in the publish panel

The publish panel used to show mismatched states after deploying — the production URL would update but the custom domain section would still say 'publish your app first.' Both now stay in sync.

  • Publish panel reflects your true live status immediately after deploying
  • Custom domain shows as your primary URL once it's active
  • Share and copy buttons are only shown after your app is actually live
Fixed Link

Live preview stays live while you chat — no more freezing mid-build

The editor preview no longer switches to a broken or blank state while the AI is actively building or updating your app.

  • Preview keeps running while the AI edits files — no freezing or flickering
  • After coming back to a tab, the preview recovers automatically instead of showing an error
  • Version restores now apply cleanly without showing mixed-version flashes

Custom domains now activate reliably — 522 errors fixed

Seven custom domains registered in late April and early May were returning errors for visitors. All affected domains now route correctly, and newly connected domains will work on the first try.

  • Custom domains you connect now go live without manual intervention
  • Apex domains (like yourbrand.com) get proper SSL validation automatically
  • Your custom domain is now shown as the primary live URL in the publish panel once active
New Link

Each of your app's users can now connect their own accounts (e.g. their own Gmail)

You can now build apps where every end-user connects their own third-party accounts — so your app acts on behalf of each individual user, not just your own connected account.

  • Build apps where users connect their own Gmail, Google Calendar, or any supported service
  • Each user's actions stay scoped to their own account — no data mixing
  • Unlocks a whole new class of personal productivity and SaaS-style apps
New Link

Push notifications now work in your published apps

Users of your published apps can now subscribe to push notifications from their browser or installed app, and you can send them messages directly from your OverSkill app.

  • End-users can opt in to push notifications from any published app
  • Works in the browser and when your app is installed as a home screen app
  • No separate push notification service to sign up for — it's built in
New Link

Export your app's code to GitHub in one click

You can now push your entire generated app's source code to a private GitHub repository with one click — full ownership, no lock-in.

  • One-click export to a private repo on your connected GitHub account
  • Full source code ownership — take your app anywhere
  • GitHub connection flow now works reliably end-to-end
New Link

Built-in AI chat helper now matches your app's design

The in-app AI helper widget is no longer a one-size-fits-all box — the AI now writes it to match your app's look and feel, and you can ask it to restyle it at any time.

  • Ask the AI to make the chat widget match your app's colors, fonts, and vibe
  • Helper now requires sign-in by default on private apps — no accidental data leaks
  • Toggle the helper on/off and set a daily message limit right from your app settings
Fixed Link

AI auto-fix no longer spams your chat when something goes wrong

When a build error triggers automatic fixes, you'll now see a single clean attempt instead of multiple stacked error messages piling up in your chat history.

  • No more 4 identical 'Retry 1/3' messages in a row when a fix fails
  • 60-second cooldown prevents runaway fix loops that burn credits
  • Infrastructure errors no longer get misdiagnosed as code bugs
Fixed Link

Credit balance updates live — no stale numbers after buying

Your credit count in the editor now refreshes automatically, so you always see your real balance after purchasing or spending credits.

  • Balance updates immediately after purchasing a credit pack
  • Upgrade prompt appears right in chat when you run low — no dead ends
  • Auto-fix loop now stops if you run out of credits instead of continuing silently
Fixed Link

Public pages on your app no longer accidentally require sign-in

When you asked the AI to build a public ticker tape, pricing page, or any other open page, it was sometimes incorrectly blocking anonymous visitors. That's fixed.

  • Public landing pages, pricing sections, and storefronts are accessible without login
  • AI correctly marks pages as public or protected based on your instructions
  • External users of your apps no longer hit unexpected 403 errors on data they should see

  • Templates are pre-wired with the right data structures for marketing workflows
  • Starter chips in the editor also suggest funnel-specific app ideas
New Link

Send transactional email from your apps — no extra setup

Apps you build can now send emails — contact form confirmations, alerts, admin notifications — without connecting a third-party email service.

  • Build contact forms, booking confirmations, and alert systems that actually send email
  • The AI knows how to set up email sending and will guide you through the one-time domain step
  • No Resend, SendGrid, or Mailgun account needed

Screenshot previews and browser rendering built into every app

Every app you build now has access to headless browser capabilities — take screenshots, generate PDFs, or scrape pages without any additional setup.

  • Generate PDFs or screenshots inside your app with a single AI instruction
  • Scrape and render external pages for data collection or OG image generation
  • Available in every deployed app automatically — nothing to configure
New Link

Vector search & semantic matching built into every app

You can now build recommendation engines, similarity search, and custom retrieval features into your apps without setting up a separate vector database.

  • Build 'find similar items' or 'recommend based on history' features via chat
  • Separate from the Knowledge Base — this is raw semantic search for your app's own data
  • Available in every deployed app, no configuration needed
New Link

File storage built into every app you publish

Apps you build now have their own file storage space — user uploads, generated assets, and attachments all stored securely without connecting a separate service.

  • Build file upload features, image galleries, and document storage into any app
  • Each app's files are automatically namespaced — no mixing between apps
  • Works alongside image generation — all assets stored in one place
New Link

Users can now sign in to your apps with Google

The sign-in page for apps that require accounts now includes Google sign-in — so users who prefer OAuth don't have to create a password.

  • End-users of your apps can sign in with their Google account
  • Users who signed up with Google are no longer locked out of app-specific login flows
  • Consent screen clearly shows what information is being shared with your app

Your app's chat history is readable — color swatches show inline

When the AI proposes color palettes in chat, hex codes now display as small visual swatches right in the message — so you see the actual color, not just a code.

  • Color codes like #7c3aed appear as visual swatches inline in chat
  • Instantly evaluate design suggestions without copy-pasting into a color picker
  • Works for any hex color mentioned in AI responses
