## Overview

Recently shipped AI Discovery with AEO-ready websites, AI crawl control, AI-built digital products, and the beehiiv Agent.

**AI Discovery optimizes newsletters for AI answers.** AEO-Ready Websites format content for citation by ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini, where being cited is the new ranking. AI Crawl Control gives publishers a say in how answer engines access content, and a new AI Builder helps create digital products.

**Newsletter core updates are out.**
- Click Triggers start an automation when a subscriber clicks a specific link — ideal for follow-ups, tagging high-intent readers, or launching a sale.
- Random Cohort Sends deliver to a random subset for testing.
- Custom Group Deals offer discounted team and group pricing on paid subscriptions.
- The Visual Editor reached stable release.
- The Send API for programmatic sends landed on Max plans.

**Recommendation Network combined organic and paid growth.** Recommendations and Boosts merged into one engine, with over 15 million subscriptions created to date. Creators can grow faster and monetize by recommending others.

**Group Subscriptions sell seats to organizations.** One purchase covers multiple team members, with dedicated dashboards for managing and retaining paying subscribers.

**Write Access gives AI control of the platform.** Users create and edit posts, build multi-step automations, and launch products, polls, and surveys by chatting with their AI tool.
