Features ✅

  • Conversation-first Signals – Create, refine and activate ongoing monitoring by describing what you want Lucid to watch in natural language.
  • Signal lifecycle controls – Signals now support clear Draft, Live, Paused and Archived states.
  • Public research preview – Ask Lucid intelligence questions from the public experience and inspect supporting evidence before creating an account.
  • Explicit research sources – Select Lucid News and available official datasets as part of the research boundary for a question or Signal.

Improvements 🧱

  • More relevant Lucid News retrieval – Improved query planning, date handling, publisher diversity and relevance so retrieved coverage better matches the question being asked.
  • Richer entity context – People, organisations and places can resolve to more useful profiles with identifying and contextual information.
  • More honest monitoring outcomes – Signals better distinguish between material change, repeated information, quiet periods and insufficient source coverage.
  • Clearer evidence and provenance – Improved how Lucid communicates which sources were selected and which evidence actually supported a response.
  • Stronger end-to-end Signals workflow – Creating, activating, running and reviewing a Signal now behaves more like one coherent workflow.

Fixes 🔧

  • Fixed paused or archived Signals becoming eligible to run.
  • Fixed cases where a confirmed Signal could fail to save correctly.
  • Fixed selected sources being omitted from some mixed-source research.
  • Improved failure handling so unavailable evidence is not confused with evidence that nothing changed.
  • Fixed reliability issues affecting public research and Resources.
