May 2026: What We Shipped

---

Big month. Two entirely new products, major signal expansion, infrastructure that materially improves reliability, and the foundation for self-service API access opening later this quarter.

Here's everything, with links to the deep-dives where relevant.

New Products

Buyer Intent API

Topic-level research signals across the B2B web. This is the answer to "who's actively in-market for my product right now?"

• ~38,000 B2B topics in the taxonomy
• Contact-level results (named people, not just companies)
• Filter by seniority, department, company size, revenue, country
• Credit-billed: 1 credit per contact returned
• Three endpoints: /topics (browse), /contacts (query), /filters (discovery)

Not IP-based. Not content syndication. Named contacts researching specific topics. The is_product flag distinguishes high-intent product research from general category browsing.

MCP Server 1.0.0

Autobound's signal data now works natively in Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, and every MCP-compatible AI agent. This is the core thesis: Autobound is the B2B data API for AI agents.

• npm install @autobound-ai/mcp-server
• 11 tools: search, enrich, signal browsing, intent queries, account management
• 60 seconds from install to live signal data in your AI tool
• Multi-tenant safe for platform builders embedding our data into their products
• Every tool in your AI stack gets access simultaneously — no per-tool integration

Signal Expansion

Podcast Transcript Intelligence

Full podcast ingestion pipeline: feed discovery → audio transcription → LLM extraction. We identify which executives appear on which shows and extract structured intelligence from what they actually said.

• Guest name, title, company, LinkedIn URL
• Episode topics (specific, not generic tags)
• Key insights (actual positions and plans stated on the show)
• Outreach hooks (personalized conversation starters from episode content)
• ~53 records/day, 70% B2B podcast coverage
• Nobody else offers this at scale

Conference Speaker Intelligence

Daily tracking of executive speaking commitments at tech conferences. When someone commits to present on a topic, they're publicly declaring their priorities 3-6 months early.

• 18 technology categories tracked
• 80+ cities globally
• ~140 records/day
• Speaker name, title, company, talk title, conference, dates, topics
• Both confirmed speakers and open CFP deadlines

10 New News Subtypes (40 total)

Our news intelligence now covers 40 distinct event types. The 10 new additions:

All 40 subtypes now deliver daily (shifted from weekly). Company events surface within 24 hours of publication.

---

SEO Traffic v2

Complete rebuild of website traffic analysis. Improved deduplication, higher data quality, and new subtypes:

• sustainedGrowth — steady upward traffic trends
• sustainedDecline — consistent drops
• trafficSurge — sudden spikes (product launches, viral content)
• trafficDecline — sudden drops (outages, penalties)
• baseline — reference data for trend comparison

~4.7M rows per delivery. Full B2B web coverage.

Hiring Seniority Overhaul (Breaking Change)

We refined seniority categories on hiring signals:

Removed: non_manager, owner

Added: junior, mid_senior

New fields: sample_normalized_titles, sample_translated_titles

If your integration filters on seniority categories, update your enum handling. This improves targeting accuracy for teams using hiring signals to identify team-building patterns.

Platform & Infrastructure

Workspace Credits — Credits now scoped to workspaces instead of individual accounts. Teams share a pool, invite members, manage usage together. Starting credits increased from 500 to 1,000.

Refresh Cadence Field — /v1/signals/types now includes refresh_cadence for each signal type. Your automation can programmatically know whether a signal updates daily, weekly, or monthly. Build polling logic around real schedules.

API Surface Redesign — Replaced /v1/signals/search with separate /v1/companies/search and /v1/contacts/search endpoints. Cleaner interface, aligned with how MCP tools and AI agents query data.

Improved Delivery Coverage — Pipeline now tracks entities individually through processing. LLM retries, third-party data delays, and processing hiccups no longer cause silent signal loss. Stragglers ship in the next batch automatically. Zero records dropped.

News: Daily Delivery — Our most popular signal category shifted from weekly to daily cadence. Company events are actionable within 24 hours.

Postgres Migration — Entire data plane migrated off Zilliz (vector DB) to Postgres. Massive reliability and query performance improvement. Search latency dropped 60%+.

S3 Full-Mirror Architecture — Complete signal archive now mirrors to S3 alongside GCS. 29-day delivery gap from Q1 backfilled in full. Redundant delivery infrastructure ensures this never happens again.

SecurityScorecard: 67 → 100 — Perfect security score. Unblocks enterprise procurement for customers who require vendor security posture assessment.

Coming Soon

News: Second Company Enrichment (June 2026) — M&A, partnership, investment, and litigation signals will include structured data on both companies involved. A new related_company object surfaces the second entity from ~5,000 records per delivery that currently only have this buried in article text.

Job Posting Content Analysis (Q2) — Extracting structured signals from job descriptions: tech stack decisions, pain points mentioned, budget indicators, and team buildout patterns. Signals embedded in job postings that you can't get from title/seniority alone.

Company Connections Graph (Q2) — Competitor, customer, vendor, partner, and investor relationships as a queryable flat file. Account-based selling gets much richer when you know who your prospect's customers and competitors are.

Self-Service API Access (later Q2) — Opening the signal API for self-service signup. Developers will be able to get an API key and start pulling signals in minutes without a sales conversation. Currently in closed beta.

Expanded Review Sources (Q2) — Product review coverage expanding beyond current sources to include Capterra, TrustRadius, Gartner Peer Insights, and PeerSpot.

Historical Backfill to 12 Months (Q2) — Extending signal history from current retention windows to a full 12-month lookback across all signal types.
