June 2026
Enterprise: client profiles and brief delivery
New
Operators and EP teams can now manage a client roster, generate briefs on behalf of any managed traveler, and deliver the brief directly to the client's inbox via email. Brief history is retained per client. Access is gated to your organization — your clients cannot see or access the operator console.
Enterprise: rich client personalization
New
Client profiles now support preferred vehicle (Sedan, SUV, Escalade, Armored), security posture (Low Profile through Armed Escort), public figure flag, dietary restrictions, languages spoken, preferred hotel brands, blood type, allergies, medications, and two emergency contacts. Vehicle, posture, dietary, hotel brand, and language preferences are injected directly into brief recommendations. Medical, emergency, and security notes are operator-only and never sent to the model.
Fixed: international briefs showing US hospitals
Fix
Briefs for European and other international destinations were sometimes surfacing US hospitals — caused by Open-Meteo's geocoder silently resolving ambiguous city names (e.g. 'Holland') to a US location. Fixed. Hospital data is now gated on confirmed US coordinates from the geocoder.
Addresses open in Google Maps
New
Hotel names, hospital addresses, embassy addresses, and consulate addresses in your brief are now tappable links. Tap any address to open it directly in Google Maps.
Fixed: advisory level showing "Do Not Travel" for safe destinations
Fix
A bug caused some briefs to show a Level 4 advisory for destinations that are perfectly safe — Amsterdam, Paris, Tokyo. Happened when government feeds couldn't match the destination name and the AI guessed worst-case. Fixed. Briefs now default to a realistic level and flag when you should verify manually.
Fixed: no advisory section for US domestic destinations
Fix
Briefs for domestic US destinations left the government advisory section blank. Fixed — domestic briefs now show "No government travel advisory — domestic US destination" in both the web brief and PDF.
FBO recommendations
Pro
The airport section now includes nearest Fixed Base Operator recommendations for private jet and charter arrivals — Signature Aviation, Jet Aviation, Sheltair, Atlantic Aviation, and others. Shows ICAO code, phone, and notes on fuel, customs, and preferred operators. Toggle on or off in your profile under Brief preferences.
May 2026
Curated US hospital data
New
Hospital recommendations for US destinations now come from a curated dataset of 5,565 open US hospitals (sourced from the Homeland Infrastructure Foundation-Level Data public dataset), not the AI's memory. Every US brief surfaces actual nearest emergency facilities, including the nearest Level I/II trauma center by distance.
Fixed: weather showing wrong city
Fix
A geocoding bug caused some US cities to pull weather from a foreign city with the same name. Fixed — lookups now properly disambiguate by state and country.
