Voice Notes: AudioPen for Mac is now available (video)!

Acquisition: Cavalry and MangoAI have joined Canva, expanding its professional creative ecosystem to include motion design and AI capabilities.

Early Access: Developed by Rank Math, AI Link Genius is a new internal linking solution for WordPress. It tidies up messy internal links, fixes broken links, strengthens site structure, and ensures that your linking strategy aligns with SEO best practices.

Great: It’s been two and a half years since the latest release. Say hello to HappyFiles Pro 1.9 (Beta)!

Here is a selection of the latest and greatest blog posts we published this week on Ahoi.dev. You will also find some interesting industry news, the latest directory listings on The Port, job openings, and BFCM deals. Enjoy!

👋 New Calendar Sync Add-Ons

LatePoint has released the following two new add-ons for its WordPress appointment booking plugin: Outlook Calendar Sync and Apple Calendar Sync. These allow you to connect your calendars and automatically synchronize your availability.

🗞️ Bites & Pieces

WordPress

SureContact now allows you to connect its MCP server to AI clients, such as Claude, enabling you to control SureContact operations directly from these tools. Additionally, OttoKit is now integrated into SureContact, enabling you to design workflows incorporating SureContact triggers and other actions without leaving the platform. There is also a new Convert Pro integration.

Site Reviews 8.0.0 adds support for a variety of new integrations, including SureCart, Divi 5, Breakdance, Bricks, and Yoast SEO. The new Review Actions add-on is currently in beta. It allows users to upvote, report and translate your reviews using DeepL.

Directorist 8.6 introduces Conditional Logic, enabling you to dynamically display or hide fields in both the ‘Add Listing’ and ‘Search’ forms based on user input.

E-Commerce & Sales Funnels

SureCart 4.0.1 adds support for multiple referral URLs in the affiliate portal. What’s next? A dark mode and a one-click button to leave a product review will be added to the customer dashboard. You will also be able to download variants and create parcel templates. The latter will allow you to save common box and envelope sizes in SureCart, meaning you can reuse them for every shipment instead of re-entering dimensions and weight.

FluentCart 1.3.14 introduces bulk product imports, a new Flutterwave payment gateway add-on, and customisable product shortcodes. New Sale and Out of Stock badges and Product Description blocks have been added for Gutenberg, and product images can now be served from external URLs. Finally, customers on instalment plans can now pay off their balance early using early instalment payments.

Product Demos

Supademo introduces a new AI Demo Audit feature, which allows you to instantly score and audit any product demo based on its intended use (website, sales or instructional). Also new are AI data editing, bulk crop and annotate, a redesigned video editor, and a new playback bar (video).

SEO

With SEOPress 9.6, you can freeze the modification date of any post, page or custom post type when you save it. Google and other search engines recommend against updating this date for minor content changes. Additionally, you can now add the Facebook domain verification meta tag directly from the WordPress SEO plugin settings and import global settings from SmartCrawl.

Personalized Outreach

Sendr launches two new plug-and-play engagement automations designed to keep your team instantly informed inside Slack. They detect when a lead plays audio on your Sendr page or clicks an emoji reaction. It then captures the lead’s details and sends an instant Slack notification.

CRO

Claspo introduces a new Single Choice component. Rather than asking for contact details straight away, you can now ask one quick question first. This allows you to gain context before visitors sign up and guide them to a more relevant category, offer or message.

Customer Support

Gleap now lets you import content directly from your Notion workspace to power your AI bot. After connecting Notion as a content source, your AI bot can access your existing documentation, wikis and knowledge bases to provide users with more accurate and relevant answers.

FluentSupport 2.0.5 introduces a new Dark Mode for the admin dashboard, as well as a new ‘View Tickets (Read Only)’ permission. There is also support for OpenAI’s latest GPT-5.2 and GPT-5.2 Chat models, which can be used to power your AI workflows.

You can now receive and respond to Telegram messages directly from your LiveAgent panel.

Social Media

With Linkie (developed by Publer), you can now set a custom brand colour for the banner and other buttons on your link-in-bio page. If you manage multiple brands, you can select a different accent colour for each one. Next: Light vs dark mode and 2 vs 3 columns layout.

Giststack now supports Nano Banana 2 and Seedream 5 Lite, helping you to create stunning visuals without breaking the bank (video).

Sales Video

Weezly now supports full screen video messages — giving you complete control over how your video appears at every step of the prospect journey.

AI

Krisp launches a new AI Accent Understanding feature to help listeners more easily understand accented speech in real time during meetings.

ElevenLabs adds support for Seedream 5.0 Lite (4K images with enhanced photorealism), Nano Banana 2 (4K resolution available on web and mobile devices) and Kling 3.0 to its expanding range of image and video models.

Digital Signage

Juuno releases Screen Analytics in beta, enabling you to see how your screens are performing within the digital signage platform. Track plays, completion rates and interruptions across your screens, playlists and scenes

Customer Testimonials

Feedspace launches its new Shopify app.
