Changelog

What's new in Actuent. Follow along with the RSS feed.

7 October 2026

Your AI can now read any page, contact businesses and plan with you

Read any link: actuent_get_page reads a page live and returns it as data: prices and stock (on Shopify shops every size with a cart link), events, opening hours, booking links, recipes and FAQs. Pages read this way join the index.
Contact a business (Pro): "ask the restaurant if they have gluten-free options" emails the business with your address as reply-to; booking requests go to businesses that claimed their site, which accept or decline. Owners see them in Analytics → Inbox.
Watch any page (Pro): "tell me when tickets go on sale" or "when it's back in stock".
One thing, everything: actuent_about joins an artist, brand or venue with its site, events and prices.
Events: genres for concerts, add to calendar, directions, and many more daytime events: every Danish public library, Oslo and Stockholm libraries, Chicago comedy.
Plans you can share, "what's on" share cards, today's hours and closing time on places, landmark opening hours ("is the Louvre open on Monday?"), and results that say how fresh they are.
For site owners: make any site AI-ready with one line (Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, Shopify), a live LAWP badge, an AI report of what people ask about you, and an email if your lawp.json breaks.
Assistants can pass the user's area and preferences for one request (never stored), and answers cite their sources.

A weekly digest for site owners, dishes with prices, best-of pages and a what's-on widget

Site owners get one weekly digest: score, the searches you came up for, visits, and what agents looked for on your site but couldn't find. Plus a reminder before public holidays if your hours don't cover them.
Search: dishes with prices from local menus ("margherita under 100 kr copenhagen"), shops compared side by side ("zalando vs boozt"), place suggestions as you type ("caf" → cafés in Copenhagen), and better brand spelling ("zalanod" → Zalando).
New pages: the best places per city and category (e.g. best cafés in Copenhagen), and "recently fixed" sites on the checklist.
A "what's on" widget for venues and city sites (whatson.js), and /api/events.
Pro keys get a heads-up when they come close to 60 searches a minute. Agents get a "Lawpy says" tip when nothing is found.
www. copies of sites are merged, the ops page shows a data-quality score, and slow searches come with a Lawpy mini game.

30 September 2026

For agencies, Discord, search inside a site and prices in your currency

Search: "why" each result was picked, search inside any site from its Actuent page, and product prices in DKK, EUR, SEK, NOK, GBP, USD, CHF or PLN on humans.actuent.ai.
Trends shows this week's top movers: sites whose agent-readiness rose most. Site pages show "open now" by the name.
For agencies: a Clients page in Analytics (up to 20 sites with scores and next fixes), and the checklist checks up to 50 sites at once with a CSV.
Actuent for Discord, more events from venues' calendar feeds, and the status page shows speed for search, site pages, autocomplete and badges.
Lawpy has a party hat for launch day, 14 October.

30 September 2026

Better products, brand and deals pages, Slack, a Chrome extension and Lawpy stickers

Products: sizes and colours in stock ("nike shoes size 44"), shops that ship to you first, "cheapest …" sorts by price, "A vs B" compares two products, the same product in several shops is grouped, and kids' and pet items only when asked for.
New pages: brand pages, price drops this week, status (30 days of uptime and speed), and new in a city (e.g. /site/in/copenhagen/new), with RSS feeds.
Local search: "open sunday", and vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free from restaurants' own menus. 38 more Danish, Swedish and German towns.
Site pages show your site in 5 AI assistants: whether ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini and Le Chat can read it.
Actuent for Slack: /actuent in any channel. A Chrome extension. A GitHub Action that checks your lawp.json on every push. The checklist as an embeddable widget, and an opening-hours check.
The weekly State of the AI web by email: sign up on the weekly page.
Lawpy stickers for Slack, Discord and iMessage, and seasonal hats: a witch hat in October, Santa in December.

30 September 2026

Search alerts, tonight's events, trends, change feeds and a checklist

Search alerts (Pro): save a search in Analytics → Alerts, or ask your assistant (actuent_alert_new), and get an email or webhook when a new site matches it.
"What's on tonight near me" on humans.actuent.ai, /api/tonight?city=, and when: "tonight" in actuent_events.
Search trends: api.actuent.ai/trends (and /trends.json): the most searched things this week, by category and city.
Change feeds (RSS): api.actuent.ai/changes.rss for the whole index and /site/<domain>/changes.rss per site.
Agent-ready checklist for Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow and WordPress, rechecked live (/api/checkup). The Generator builds your pages from your sitemap (/api/sitemap-pages).
humans.actuent.ai speaks Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese and Finnish.
Better products: every important word of the search has to match (no more golf clubs for "nike shoes"), kids' and pet items only when asked for, and no more than two per shop at the top.
Lawpy is everywhere: badges, link previews, emails, 404 pages, the WordPress plugin and a secret search on humans.actuent.ai.

29 September 2026

Actuent in your terminal, an API playground and alerts for site owners

npx actuent: search, ask a site and similar sites from the terminal, with Lawpy saying hello. npx @actuent/lawp gets Lawpy too: he dances when your lawp.json is valid.
API Playground at docs.actuent.ai/playground: every endpoint and MCP tool live, with code in JavaScript, Python and curl. Plus a Postman collection.
"A vs B" searches show both sites side by side on humans.actuent.ai, with "people also compare".
Pro: short answers with sources for question searches (summary).
Holiday and special opening hours: "open now" is right on holidays. Ratings from more sources, and sort=rating.
For site owners: questions visitors ask in your widget (Analytics), change alerts by email and webhook, and an "Edit" link from your site page.
Better categories: an AI re-check of the 20,000 best-known sites. Near-empty sites no longer clutter results.

29 September 2026

Ask a site, similar sites, price history and LAWP 0.5

Ask a site: /api/ask answers a question from one site's own pages, with sources. On humans.actuent.ai every result has an "Ask" box.
Similar sites: /api/similar and the actuent_similar MCP tool find alternatives to any site.
"Ask this site" widget for site owners: one script tag adds a Lawpy button that answers visitors' questions from your pages.
Download lawp.json: every site page on Actuent now gives you a ready-to-publish LAWP file.
Price history: products include up to 90 days of prices and a "lowest in 90 days" flag.
Smarter searches: spelling fixes for whole searches ("accouting sofware"), and searches for places without a city favour your own city.
LAWP 0.5: standard action types (book_table, book_appointment, check_availability, request_quote and more).
Tools for the Vercel AI SDK and LangChain.js in @actuent/sdk 0.9, and ask/similar in the Python SDK 0.7.
Businesses in 50 more cities across the US, Australia, Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East.

29 September 2026

Names first, answers from sites, and shopping in your market

Names first: search a company, product or place by name ("localilabs", "louvre tickets") and its own site comes first, followed by the company's other projects. Famous names use their official website.
Comparisons: "notion vs obsidian" puts both sites first and adds a comparison field.
Questions about a site: "does basecamp have a free plan" puts that site first, with an answer: sentences from its own pages and the page each came from.
Shopping in your market: products from shops in your country and currency come first, and shops you can't realistically buy from are left out. "shoes under 500 dkk in copenhagen" means Danish shops, and sites in the searched city's country rank higher.
Local needs: "vegan", "dog friendly", "open late", "brunch sunday" and "open now" use the place's features and opening hours. Closed and vacant places are never shown.
A redesigned search page at humans.actuent.ai, with products, events, answers and comparisons.
Faster when it's busy: fast=1 gives a quick first answer, and the best-known sites always come back even when the full search is slow.
City museums: "museo madrid" or "musée paris" puts the city's best-known museums first. Misspelt names ("spotfy") get a "did you mean".
Meet Lawpy, our mascot, on the search page and in the docs.

28 September 2026

Search that understands questions, typos and "near me"

Ask in plain words: "where can I buy running shoes in London?" and "coffee near me" just work, and misspellings get a "did you mean".
Better results: exact brand searches put the brand first, the page that answers the search comes first ("basecamp pricing"), results people open rank higher, and error pages, bot checks and parked domains are gone.
Every result has a snippet and a match score; responses can include related searches and upcoming events.
New search options: limit and offset, category, city, open_now, lang and sort.
Autocomplete: api.actuent.ai/api/autocomplete, used by the search page, which also has shareable links.
SDKs: @actuent/sdk 0.6.0 and actuent 0.4.0 handle busy times politely; the next versions add the new options.

28 September 2026

Clear messages when it's busy, and Pro first

Clear messages when it's busy: limited or empty results now say why in plain English (a message and notices), and busy responses ask you to try again shortly instead of failing silently. Errors & busy times.
Pro goes first: when lots of people are searching, Pro keeps the full search, live site visits and map tools; free searches get a simpler search from the index, with a notice.
MCP tools answer with a readable explanation instead of a bare error, and rate limits say how long to wait.
Better ranking: well-known sites are considered first, and a business's city, type and category are searchable ("barber amsterdam").
Faster, better index updates: sites are converted with a mix of rules and AI, popular sites first, and dead domains are removed from search.

27 September 2026

Search in your language, local businesses and tool examples

Search in your own language: common words in 11 European languages (and compounds like laufschuhe) are translated instantly, so passwort-manager finds the same sites as password manager.
Why this result: every search result has a matched note saying which words matched where.
Results that match every word of a search rank above partial matches.
Local businesses from OpenStreetMap: shops, restaurants, clinics and venues with a website are added city by city, with address, phone and opening hours.
What's on: venues' events pages are read twice a week.
More shops: every indexed site is checked for Shopify and WooCommerce products, not only the most popular ones; checkout links work for all Shopify products.
Cleaner page text: cookie banners, menus and copyright lines are removed.
Site pages: breadcrumbs, full schema.org business data, and a weekly State of the AI web post with an RSS feed.
Tool examples: a real request and response for every tool.
actuent_nearby understands everyday words ("coffee" finds cafés); events leave out betting spam.
Security and privacy: webhooks only go to public https addresses, trending shows only plain-word searches, and very long queries are refused.

27 September 2026

Faster search, checkout links and the Shopify app

Search is much faster: known sites answer in about a second instead of up to 25, and keyword searches overlap their steps.
Better results: sites are ranked with real popularity data, and adult and gambling sites are left out unless asked for. A weekly benchmark tracks quality.
Checkout links: Shopify products come with a cart_url, and actuent_cart puts several items in one checkout.
Actuent for Shopify: publishes a store's LAWP automatically (coming to the Shopify App Store).
npx @actuent/lawp: check, validate, create and test LAWP files from the command line.
Several API keys per account, with labels, revoking and a key history (Analytics → Account).
Free results only mention Pro when something was actually held back.
Search engines hear about new site pages right away (IndexNow).
Abuse protection: clients that keep hammering the API are blocked for an hour.

27 September 2026

Connected accounts and safer site claiming

Connect your account on a site (LAWP 0.4 user accounts) so your assistant can do things like reorder: sign in to the site once, and Actuent keeps the token encrypted and refreshes it. New tool: actuent_accounts.
Claiming a site now needs your personal verification code, as a homepage meta tag, a DNS record or a field in your lawp.json. Publishing a LAWP alone is no longer enough, so nobody else can claim your site.
WordPress plugin 1.3.1: paste your verification code in Settings → Actuent to claim your site.

27 September 2026

LAWP 0.4

Link your LAWP from any page (<link rel="lawp">, a Link header or robots.txt): Shopify, Squarespace, Wix and Webflow sites can publish their own now.
Safety labels: actions that cost money or can't be undone need the user's confirmation; Actuent enforces it.
Quotes (price and availability before committing), standard results and errors, and long-running actions with actuent_action_status.
Business details, hours and offers in LAWP itself; user accounts via OAuth 2.1; translations and split files for big sites.
Requests are signed with standard HTTP Message Signatures (RFC 9421, as in Web Bot Auth) as well as Actuent's original headers.
A JSON Schema and conformance tests for LAWP; the LAWP Checker validates against it.
WordPress plugin 1.3.0, Cloudflare Worker 1.2.0, @actuent/sdk 0.5.0 and Python 0.3.0 support 0.4.
The crawlers try harder before saving a site as minimal: the rendered page, www/http, llms.txt and the sitemap.

26 September 2026

Trips, service search, ask a site and AI bot access

actuent_trip: a 1–4 day city trip with where to stay and a timed plan for each day.
actuent_find_service: find a service or dish with its price, e.g. "skin fade under €30" in Amsterdam.
actuent_ask_site: answer a question from one site's own pages.
Filters for nearby places, plans and trips: vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, wheelchair accessible, outdoor seating, wifi, kids, dogs.
"Open now" knows about public holidays.
What's on pages and calendar feeds for every city: api.actuent.ai/site/in/<city>/whats-on.ics.
Site pages show which AI bots a site's robots.txt blocks, with the fix.
visit_url on every result: owners see the visits Actuent sends them in Analytics.
The crawlers try harder before saving a site as minimal: the rendered page, www and http addresses, llms.txt and the sitemap.
Python SDK 0.2 and @actuent/sdk 0.4 cover every tool; OpenAPI 1.1.

26 September 2026

Plan an outing, compare products, badge widget and city pages

actuent_plan: a timed outing (e.g. coffee, lunch, museum) with places open when you'd arrive, walking times and events that day.
actuent_compare compares products too: price, stock, 90-day price range and cheaper shops.
actuent_watch_price can alert when a sold-out product is back in stock.
Pre-filled booking links: for Calendly, Cal.com, OpenTable, Resy and SevenRooms, the user's date, time, party size, name and email are filled in.
The badge grows up: a card style, badge.json and an embeddable widget, <script src="https://api.actuent.ai/badge.js" data-domain="yoursite.com">.
Site pages compare you with similar sites nearby and show what they have that you don't; the weekly score email does too.
Executable endpoints are tested daily; site pages and the LAWP Checker show 30-day reliability.
Platform guides for Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, static hosts and your own server.
Every site gets a category, and businesses are listed by city at api.actuent.ai/site/in/<city>.
Popular sites are refreshed by how often agents actually ask for them.
Parked domains and duplicates are flagged and left out of search.

26 September 2026

Events, price alerts, cheapest shop and AI bot visits

actuent_events: upcoming events (concerts, classes, workshops) that websites publish, by city, dates and topic.
actuent_watch_price (Pro): get an email or webhook when a product's price drops.

Search results include business details from a site's schema.org data: address, phone, opening hours and price range, plus open_now.
actuent_nearby shows opening hours for each place and takes an open_now filter.
Products show price changes: previous_price_eur and price_change_percent when a price moved.
LAWP 0.3: actions can describe their input as named fields (date, time, email, …). Actuent validates the input before calling the site and returns each action's JSON Schema in actuent_get_actions.
Every indexed site has a public page at api.actuent.ai/site/<domain> with its readiness score, actions and business details.
The badge at api.actuent.ai/badge.svg?domain= shows a live agent-readiness score out of 100.
Social preview images for Actuent pages.
Owners get a welcome email when they claim a site.
The crawler finds subpages from each site's sitemap and uses more free AI providers.
Security headers on every Actuent site, plus Dependabot and CodeQL on the public repositories.
WordPress plugin 1.1.0: the contact action asks for name, email and message.

25 September 2026

Rule-based conversion and a faster backlog

Sites are converted to LAWP without an LLM when the free quota is used up, so fewer sites stay minimal.
Infrastructure hostnames (CDNs, DNS servers) are skipped instead of indexed.
New sites are paused until every existing minimal entry has been retried once.
