  1. Site

    ChartCraft Bespoke, and this changelog

    Bespoke: your Power BI report, designed and built for you, in five working days. Your model, your brand, the dashboards you admire, the .pbip source yours to keep. Built the way Aurum Jet was. From 3,500 EUR, with a pilot price for the first three teams.

    And this page: from now on, every release gets its entry here, with an RSS feed.

  2. Platform

    Security hardening on the MCP connection and the admin area

    The consent page you see when connecting an agent is protected against spoofing and against being embedded in another site, and the admin area is restricted to named accounts. Nothing changes for connected agents.

  3. Site

    Colis Pro and Aurum Jet under the MIT licence

    Both free reports are now released under the MIT licence: take them apart, reuse their measures and their techniques in your own work, including commercial work.

  4. Site

    Aurum Jet: a free Power BI report with no custom visuals

    A fictional private jet operator and its report: Light and Dark mode, native animations, photos that follow the data, 119 visuals and 168 DAX measures, zero custom visuals. Built in two days with Claude Code and the Power BI Desktop Bridge. The full .pbip project is on GitHub, with an article on the five techniques.

  5. MCP

    OAuth 2.1 on the MCP server: connect ChartCraft to claude.ai and ChatGPT

    The MCP server speaks OAuth 2.1: connect it as a custom connector in claude.ai or ChatGPT, approve once on the consent page, and forge from there. A Connected agents card in your settings lists and revokes them. A public skill tells any agent how to use the tools. Registry version 1.2.0.

  6. Forge

    Re-forge: every forge is a run you can replay, download again and share

    Your forges are kept as runs. My forges lists them in Crafts; Forge again reopens one with its settings; Download again gives you the .pbip back for free. A public permalink (/f/<id>) opens any run in Forge, as a guest.

    For agents: list_my_reports and forge_report with from_run on the MCP server.

  7. Site

    Forge first: a sandbox without an account and four free reports

    The home page now leads with Forge. /forge/try lets you forge a report without an account. The /reports gallery offers four designed reports (Retail, HR, Healthcare, Manufacturing) to download, each with a Forge this layout button that reproduces it on your own choices. Activation emails point to Forge.

  3. Platform

    Emails worth opening

    Onboarding emails, a come-back sequence, and a redesign of every email, light-first with product heroes. Fewer emails too: a 48 h cooldown, and nothing on day one for beta accounts. A security fix on account data.

    Any analyzed dashboard can be saved as a template and reused. The analysis goes deeper, and the token cost is shown on every action.

    Visits are counted without cookies and without following you across sites. The Coming Soon page is refreshed.

  4. Platform

    Usage page, costs before you click, refunds

    See where your tokens go at /studio/usage. Each action shows its cost before you confirm, generation runs in the background by default and refunds your tokens if it fails, and going too fast gets a clear message instead of an error.

  5. Analyze

    Scores explained, regenerate from the analysis

    Each score comes with its explanation. One button regenerates the dashboard with the suggestions applied, from the analysis or from the project page.

  6. Site

    Onboarding that knows your BI tool, a template marketplace

    Pricing
