6/14/2026 Manual Syncs, Billing, GeoIntel briefings and Image preview fixes
Fixed the manual sync issue in Ascend, billing with Stripe, Geointel briefings, and inage previews in url sharing.
Today was a fixing day. Four things that were quietly wrong are now right, and one of them had been there since the beginning without anyone noticing.
The most satisfying fix was the manual sync button in Ascend. If you've ever tapped that button and seen an error message, that was a bug we introduced by accident — we had listed two data types (called "todos" and "goals") that we planned to add eventually but never actually built. The app was asking the database for columns that don't exist, getting rejected, and showing you an error. The automatic background sync was working fine the whole time because it goes through a different path. Now the manual button uses the same list the automatic sync uses, and both work correctly.
We also quietly fixed a billing gap on the payment side. When a subscription payment fails — say, a card expires — we now immediately update our records to reflect that. Before today, there was a window where a payment could fail but our system wouldn't notice until Stripe got around to sending a follow-up message. For most people this was invisible, but it's the kind of thing that matters when we're asking people to trust us with real money.
The third thing: we added a proper preview image for when you share the asix.live link somewhere. If you paste it into iMessage, Discord, or anywhere else that shows previews, you'll now see an image with the three app names rather than a blank card.
And the fourth: GeoIntel now remembers the intelligence briefings it generates instead of creating them from scratch every time someone asks. Each briefing involves asking an AI to analyze a geopolitical situation in depth, which takes time and costs money. It makes no sense to do that work twice in the same hour for the same crisis — so now it doesn't. The result comes back much faster for anyone who reads the same briefing after the first person already pulled it.
A quieter day than some, but this is how the foundation gets solid.
