Verified AI Launch Intelligence

See what launched, what changed, and what it costs.

Track AI product launches, model updates, pricing changes and tested workflows. Each record separates official sources, company claims, Kingy testing and third-party evidence so you can see what is known and what remains unverified.

Today's AI Launches

A Radar edition publishes only when the day has enough source-ready signal; the tracker continues to show the newest verified records.

No source-ready records are tagged for today yet, so this section is showing the latest public launch records available in the tracker.

AI Security

Microsoft Project Perception

Summary: Microsoft announced Project Perception, an agentic security system that coordinates specialized red, blue, and green agents inside Microsoft Defender.

Why it matters: The launch brings attack simulation, defense testing, and threat-scenario planning into one Microsoft Defender workflow. Its practical effectiveness and cost remain unproven until security…

Pricing
Microsoft says Project Perception uses consumption-based, pay-as-you-go pricing measured in Security Compute Units (SCUs). Different agents consume SCUs at different rates; Microsoft did not publish numeric SCU rates in the checked launch sources.

Anthropic deprecates non-default sampling controls on newer Claude models

Summary: Anthropic deprecated non-default temperature, top_p and top_k values on Claude Opus 4.7 and later models. Requests that set them now return HTTP 400; Anthropic says to…

Why it matters: This is a request-compatibility break for teams that carry sampling overrides forward between Claude versions. Remove non-default temperature, top_p and top_k values before moving…

Pricing
The parameter deprecation has no separate charge. Claude API usage is billed per token at model-specific rates; Anthropic currently lists Claude Opus 4.7 at $5 per million base input tokens and $25 per million output tokens. New users receive a small amount of free API credits.

Health in ChatGPT connects U.S. health and wellness data

Summary: OpenAI launched a U.S. rollout that lets eligible ChatGPT users connect health records and supported wellness data for more contextual health conversations.

Why it matters: Health in ChatGPT addresses a concrete need: Connected records make health conversations more personally relevant, but the launch also raises practical questions about rollout…

Pricing
Health in ChatGPT is included within ChatGPT access rather than listed as a separate paid product. OpenAI says GPT-5.5 Instant is available on the Free plan and GPT-5.6 Sol is available to paid users; current ChatGPT plan pricing should be checked separately.

AI Automation Tools

GitHub Issues adds agent automation controls

Summary: GitHub added public-preview approval, confidence, and rationale controls for agent-driven changes to issue labels, fields, types, status, and assignees.

Why it matters: Agent automation controls in GitHub Issues addresses a concrete need: The controls make issue automation more observable and reviewable, but GitHub explicitly says approvals…

Pricing
GitHub did not publish a separate price for the public-preview controls. Availability depends on eligible GitHub and Copilot plans and organization settings.

Methodology

How Kingy AI Scores Launches

Kingy AI scoring is designed for launch discovery, editorial review, creator planning, and buyer trust checks.

Kingy score

A directional editorial score for launch clarity, source quality, audience fit, pricing visibility, demo usefulness, and practical buyer or creator value.

Demo score

A signal for whether the product can be shown, tested, explained, or compared without relying on vague announcement copy.

YouTube potential

A creator-fit signal for demos, tutorials, before-and-after workflows, explainers, reviews, and audience-specific product education.

Source verification

Records distinguish verified, needs verification, and founder submitted status using official URLs, source links, last-verified dates, and correction paths.

Pricing clarity

Pricing signals favor launches with visible pricing, free-plan status, pricing pages, API access notes, or clear uncertainty when pricing is not public.

Use-case clarity

Launches are easier to evaluate when the audience, workflow, category, demo, and alternative comparison are obvious from public sources.

Founder and sponsor fit

Founder submissions and sponsor interest are routing signals only; editorial review still checks source quality, public claims, demo clarity, and usefulness.

Verification labels

Verified means enough public source evidence is present, needs verification means the record needs more checking, and founder submitted means the entry came through the submission path.

Scores are editorial signals, not scientific benchmarks, paid placements, or guarantees.

Founder submission

Submit Your AI Launch

Founders can send a launch for editorial review when the public source trail is ready to verify.
