Update #5: Zeno Best AI is Now in Your Hands + Better AI Chatbot + New Reward Program
A Big Day for Zeno: Our Best AI is Now in Your Hands!
Hey Zenos!
It's been a whirlwind 18 hours, and I've just pushed some of the most critical updates since last week launch. This is all about transparency and giving you the full power of Zeno.
Here’s what’s new:
✨ 1. You Now Have the Keys to Zeno Best AI Engine *even as a free user
Some of you astutely noticed that the insights on videos you curated weren't as deep or detailed as some of the content already in our library. You were right.
What was happening: I was using two different "recipes" to analyze videos. A powerful, "gourmet" recipe for content I added internally, and a simpler one for the user-facing curation tools, for free users. This was a major oversight I forgot to remove.
The Fix: I've made our "gourmet" internal recipe the universal standard across the entire platform. The Curate Videos and Import pages now use this powerful, detailed prompt. Now, the power of Zeno best analysis is in your hands, ensuring every video you curate has the highest quality insights, as free user too.
🤖 2. A Vastly Smarter AI Chatbot
The video AI chatbot is no longer just a chatbot; it's now a true video expert.
What's new:
Deep Context: The AI now has access to the entire video analysis—every key insight, quote, action item, and even the full transcript—making its answers incredibly accurate and context-aware.
Rich Formatting: Responses are now beautifully formatted with headings, lists, and bold text, making them easy to read and digest.
Smarter & Faster: It remembers your conversation history for each video and is now powered by GPT-4o Mini for faster, higher-quality replies.
It’s like having a one-on-one conversation with a researcher who has already mastered the content for you.
You can find it inside each video detail page* it works with the videos uploaded since the 1st of June.
💰 3. Token Rewards are Flowing Again
I squashed a crucial backend bug that was preventing user token balances from updating correctly. Your contributions are the lifeblood of Zeno, and now I can be sure you're getting every token you earn.
The goal is to give you the best tools to turn video into knowledge. These updates are a massive step towards that promise.
I’d love for you to jump back in, chat with the new AI on a video, and see the difference for yourself. Your feedback is what drives these improvements!
Cheers,
Marco

The transparency in this post really stood out to me. A lot of companies would quietly make these updates, but the openness here made me feel more connected as a user. It’s clear that the updates weren’t just technical, they were rooted in real user experience gaps. I’m glad you fixed the token issue too, I’d been wondering about that and thought maybe it was just me!
