A clearer, calmer Alchemyst
A refreshed design in the website's colours, with a proper light and dark mode. Page titles and answer headings use the same serif as this site.
Each focus has its own colour

03 · Personal context
Answers that know your work
Tell Alchemyst once what you do. Every answer starts from there.
- My work. Your role, the markets you sell into and your product categories, set once. Answers assume them when a question doesn't say. Add your own if yours aren't listed.
- Next steps. Three one-click follow-ups under each answer, such as "Check regulations for my markets".
- Templates. Ready-made questions for each focus. Save your own for the questions you ask every week.
04 · Briefing
Your Briefing, every Monday
Switch on the weekly Briefing email to get the most important new recalls, regulations and research from your sources in one message.
- Weekly email, opt-in. One message on Monday morning instead of ten tabs.
- EU RASFF alerts are now a source: pathogens, allergens and contaminants in products on the EU market.
- Less noise. Fewer off-topic EFSA items, busy sources first, quiet ones folded away.
- Ask what it means for you. Every item has a ⋯ menu: ask Alchemyst what it means for your products, or save it to the Library.

05 · Workspace
Library, Projects and Settings
The places you come back to every day, rebuilt to show more at a glance.
Projects
- Stage-gate board: Concept → Feasibility → Development → Scale-Up → Launch
- Larger cards with the brief, chats, batches and last activity
- A progress bar per stage; archived projects set apart
Settings and Usage
- A section list on the left
- New Usage view: questions in the last 30 days, per day, by focus, and a 90-day activity grid
- Appearance: light, dark or system
Word downloads
Answers and whole conversations download as Word documents. So do the specification sheet, development report and HACCP plan summary on Professional.

06 · Fixes
Fixes worth mentioning
Failed questions show an error with Retry instead of vanishing.
Questions no longer disappear in new chats.
Links in answers open in a new tab, so Alchemyst stays open.

Charts inside answers
Turn tables in answers into charts, starting with recipes, comparisons and nutrient values.
