Beehiiv

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.
