Changelog
Every Askpill update, newest first. The version here matches the Version property at the top of Askpill’s right-hand properties.

Fixes
Talk to a Person in the panel footer now uses the same dark or light text colour as the rest of the panel, so it stays readable on a light surface.
Match Now now reads your page. A pasted Askpill no longer keeps the example site’s look: while the preview is open it ignores the Primary, Surface, Text, Radius, Scheme and Matched theme left from before, and shows your site’s fonts, button colour, surface and scheme.
Light and Dark in Tweak now work. Each one builds a real light or dark palette from your site’s colours and updates the swatches, the pill and the panel at once. Accept keeps what you tweaked. Revert goes back to what you had.
The pill hover is clean. One aligned pill: the arrow fades in and the pill grows to fit it, with no second shape behind it. On a phone the label sits centred.
If Askpill cannot see your page, it now says so (“Could not read this page”) instead of showing a default look as a match.
New
Scan this site. One button on the Setup Notice reads colours, type and shape from your page and, with an API Key or Worker connected, reads your site to write an organized Knowledge base, FAQs, hours, services, contact, policies, a name and a label. It only uses text from your site. You review and edit everything before you accept.
A thorough site crawl. Scan this site now reads up to 100 pages: your sitemap, navigation, footer and links inside your pages, most useful pages first (about, pricing, services, FAQ, contact, work, blog). The Setup Notice shows progress, for example “Read 24 of 80 pages”. Pages are written a few at a time, so every page adds its own entries.
Knowledge base. A clean section in the right-hand properties: Knowledge for short notes, Paste knowledge to drop in a lot of text at once (headings or blank lines split it into entries), and a Knowledge base list of entries with Title, Text, Category and Source. FAQs keep their Category and can hold many more. After a scan you review entries grouped by category or by page.
Answers from a large knowledge base. For each question Askpill sends the entries and FAQs that match it best, plus your business details, so hundreds of entries stay useful and every request stays small.
Every page. A new setting near the top of the properties. Turn it on and place Askpill once in your site’s Layout Template, and the pill shows on every page that uses that layout.
Position. Choose where the hovering pill sits: Bottom Right (the default), Bottom Left, Bottom Center, Top Right, Top Left or Top Center. The panel opens from the same spot.
Scanned site. A new optional property that keeps an accepted scan for every visitor. Paste the code from the Setup Notice. Fields you have changed yourself always win.
Clearer setup. The Setup Notice names every field exactly as it appears in the right-hand properties, spots an Askpill pasted from the example site and lists what still needs replacing.
Get a free Gemini key, right in the properties. The API Key field now has a link to Google AI Studio above it, so you do not need Preview to get a key.
Version. The current version now shows at the top of the right-hand properties.
