Chat Data is turning its chatbot platform into a workflow runtime with payments built in.

◆Current state
Chat Data is no longer just a custom-chatbot builder — recent shipments push it toward an end-to-end agent platform. The last two weeks added cron-driven workflow triggers, native Stripe OAuth, deeper page-context tiers, and access to GPT-5.5. Each move targets a different gap that previously forced customers to bolt on outside tooling.
◆Where it's heading
The arc is unmistakable: chatbot to agent to autonomous workflow with monetization wired in. Scheduling decouples Chat Data's automations from live user prompts; direct Stripe handles the revenue side; richer page context closes the gap with retrieval-heavy competitors. Pricing is shifting in lockstep, with a per-node credit charge for non-AI workflow steps replacing the prior all-or-nothing model.
◆Prediction
Expect the next releases to focus on workflow observability — run history, retries, conditional branches — and likely an agent marketplace or template gallery to drive adoption of the scheduled-trigger surface.

    Scheduled Workflow Triggers + Per-Node Credit Pricing

    ⚡ SPARK

    Cron-based scheduling lands the missing primitive that turns Chat Data's chatbots into autonomous agents, and the new per-node credit cost rebases the platform's pricing around workflow execution rather than chat turns alone.

    Connect Stripe Directly — No API Key Needed

    Direct Stripe OAuth removes a common onboarding hurdle for the commerce use case and aligns with the platform's growing monetization story alongside scheduled workflows.

    Permanent Scraping Credits

    Scraping credits become a one-time non-expiring purchase — a packaging change that softens the subscription floor for occasional users and complements the more granular per-node pricing introduced this week.

    Enhanced Page Context Awareness

    Two new page-context tiers extend comprehension to 100,000-word pages and charge only when invoked, narrowing the gap with retrieval-heavy chat platforms while keeping the base plan's cost shape intact.

    GPT-5.5 Now Available

    GPT-5.5 is added to the model menu at 8 credits per message, keeping Chat Data on the current frontier of OpenAI's lineup and feeding the longer-context demands that the page-awareness tiers also target.
