What’s new in Redirect 301 AI.

Product milestones from the private beta: safer redirect decisions, faster storefront scans, clearer operations, and more deliberate automation.

Private beta Last updated August 12, 2026
v0.9.0Release candidate

Production-ready foundations

The private beta now has the operational checks, documented limits, and worker visibility needed for a controlled public-release review.

Added

  • Dedicated liveness and readiness checks, including required background-worker heartbeat status.
  • Production environment validation for database, Shopify, billing, encryption, and worker configuration.
  • Merchant-facing Help Center guidance for 404 tracking, redirects, patterns, setup, privacy, and plan behavior.
  • App Store-ready product screenshots and a complete release checklist.

Improved

  • Link Scanner storage and source resolution for large storefronts, with compact repeat-scan evidence.
  • Uninstall handling now disables automation, pauses patterns, stops queued work, and removes Shopify sessions.
  • Privacy export, redaction, and retention behavior is clearer and covered by automated tests.
v0.8.0Private beta

Verified suggestions and faster scans

Redirect suggestions became more conservative while storefront scanning became quicker and easier to reason about.

Added

  • Mandatory direct-live and canonical checks before a suggested target can be approved.
  • Published-source evidence for link repairs and rendered-page redirect verification.
  • Separate views for broken internal links, broken external links, redirect chains, and inconclusive checks.

Changed

  • Fast scans now favor sitemaps and compact URL sources before rendered-page traversal.
  • Target candidates preserve resource type, reducing product-to-collection or article-to-page mismatches.
  • Blocked and inconclusive responses are no longer presented as definite broken links.
v0.7.0Pilot hardening

Queues that can recover

Long-running catalog, scan, analysis, pattern, redirect, and maintenance work moved onto durable, observable worker paths.

Added

  • Independent workers for link scans, catalog and redirect materialization, target analysis, patterns, and maintenance.
  • Worker leases, stale-job reclamation, capped retries, backoff, cancellation, and heartbeat reporting.
  • Fresh storefront verification before exact redirects are queued or created.
  • App installation state and scope-update handling.

Improved

  • Redirect ownership checks distinguish app-created records from existing Shopify redirects.
  • Conflicting targets remain untouched and visible for merchant review.
v0.6.0Safety preview

Guardrails for assisted automation

Pattern discovery gained optional AI assistance without giving a model direct authority over storefront redirects.

Added

  • Restricted source-pattern and target-template language with traversal, capture, and locale protections.
  • Deterministic simulation, overlap checks, conflict detection, and explicit merchant activation.
  • Optional OpenAI pattern proposals with merchant opt-in, structured output, and deterministic fallback.
  • Pro Safe Autopilot with configurable 95–99% confidence and daily creation limits.
  • First-hit rescue for matching paths covered by an already-approved active pattern.
v0.5.0MVP foundation

The redirect lifecycle, end to end

The first complete internal build connected storefront 404 evidence to exact Shopify URL redirects.

Included

  • Theme App Embed for Online Store 404 templates and signed app-proxy ingestion.
  • Normalized 404 paths, human/bot separation, daily aggregates, and privacy screening.
  • Dashboard, onboarding, 404 Inbox, patterns, redirects, analytics, plan, settings, and data export screens.
  • Catalog and Shopify redirect synchronization with deterministic target suggestions.
  • Free and Pro allowances, plan-based retention, compliance webhooks, and tenant separation.
