New ways Babra helps you choose schools and prepare stronger applications.
Updated often
Clearer settings and credit records
Navigation, settings, billing, and sign-out controls are clearer, and De-AI charges now appear in AI credit usage records.
Improved
A clearer left navigation
The left navigation now uses a floating paper panel and a paper-colored active state that matches the school positioning page. This keeps the app visually consistent and makes your current location easy to spot.
Improved
Account shortcut to settings
The account area at the bottom of the sidebar now shows your avatar, name, and a gear icon. Clicking it opens settings instead of appearing unresponsive.
Improved
Cleaner, grouped settings
The settings center no longer repeats the account bar, all-caps label above the title, or extra dividers. On mobile, settings are grouped into cards for a cleaner layout and a more consistent reading flow across subpages.
Improved
Billing details that stand out
The billing balance now uses large monospaced numbers. Plan cards and the top-up amount selector follow the new design system, so key amounts are easier to read and purchase and top-up actions are more consistent.
New
Confirmation before sign-out
Signing out now asks for confirmation before it logs you out. This prevents an accidental sign-out and the need to log in again.
Fixed
De-AI charges in credit history
De-AI charges now appear in AI credit usage records, so the recorded usage matches the credit balance.
GPA conversions now stay consistent across programs and repeated positioning runs, while the Chinese interface plays the school-positioning demo on Bilibili.
Fixed
Consistent GPA conversion
School positioning now uses one authoritative 4.0-scale value for the same non-4.0 GPA across programs and repeated runs. The supporting rationale stays consistent and is easier to trust.
Improved
Bilibili playback for Chinese interface
When the interface is in Chinese, the school-positioning demo now plays on Bilibili, which users can access directly in China. The English interface keeps its existing player.
The school-list page now plays a real product recording inside the demo card, with the correct aspect ratio and no page jump. The Pro upgrade dialog keeps plan details in focus and brings plan cards into view sooner.
New
Play the school-list demo inline
The demo card on the school-list page now plays a real product recording when you click its cover. You can see how the product works before building your school list.
Fixed
Demo video fills the frame
The demo now uses the recording's original aspect ratio and fills the card without black bars. Starting playback no longer makes the page jump, so the video is cleaner to watch.
Improved
Pro plans appear sooner
The Pro upgrade dialog no longer repeats the demo video, and plan benefits now span the full row. This keeps upgrade details together and brings the plan cards into view sooner.
Deadlines and fees now show their precision and billing basis. Users can also leave school-list feedback, review AI credit use, and find the right Babra AI pages more accurately.
Improved
Deadlines show their actual precision
Candidate lists and program pages now display deadlines at the precision provided. Month-only or year-only dates keep that format, and estimated dates carry a tilde, so an approximate deadline no longer looks exact.
Improved
Fees show their billing period
Program fees billed by term, quarter, or credit now include the matching period suffix, so the amount is less likely to be mistaken for the program's total cost.
New
School lists add a feedback survey
After a school list finishes generating, a short survey lets users give feedback on match accuracy and whether the process felt smooth.
New
Billing shows AI credit usage
The bottom of the billing page now shows credit usage grouped by AI call, including the actual total credits each call consumed.
Improved
Website metadata matches current positioning
The English and Chinese websites now use search descriptions, language links, and social sharing information that match Babra AI's current positioning. Search results and shared links present more accurate, consistent information.
Improved
Public pages add a sitemap and structured data
Public website pages now include a complete sitemap, canonical links, and structured data. Search engines can direct users more accurately to the correct language version of the home, changelog, and legal pages.
Review and edit your CV on one page, confirm parsed content before completion, and check translations before export. Manual entry has eight sections, evaluations remain until the CV changes, and stopping parsing restores the correct status.
Improved
Review the full CV on one page
The CV editor and form now share one page. Parsed content opens as a complete document, while only the experience you edit switches to a form. You can review the whole CV without opening every section and item.
New
Confirm parsed CVs before completion
A parsed CV is marked complete on the materials checklist only after you review it and select Confirm as correct. Manually entered content counts as confirmed and does not need a second review, so completion means you checked the parsed result.
Improved
Review English translations before export
Chinese CVs are translated into English in place and returned for review before confirmation. Downloads no longer translate during export. PDF and DOCX files are available whenever the CV has content, and they always match what appears on screen.
Improved
Manual entry covers all eight sections
If you do not have a CV to upload, manual entry now covers the same eight sections as a parsed CV. AI polishing is available for work, research, and extracurricular descriptions. Manually entered CVs can include the same complete set of information.
Improved
Saved CV evaluations remain visible
Your CV evaluation result is saved and appears as a badge in the page header when you return. If the CV changes, the result expires automatically and requires a new evaluation. Otherwise, you can see the last result without running another evaluation.
Fixed
Stopping parsing restores CV statuses
Stopping CV parsing now restores other programs to their correct pre-parsing CV status. They no longer remain stuck in the Parsing state or fail to recover on their own.
School positioning now shows live progress, specific errors, saved results, and current profile data. Login verification uses the latest SMS signature, and expired Pro passes open renewal during CV polishing.
Fixed
Live positioning activity stays visible
When the candidate list already contains programs, the positioning card keeps one live activity line visible and lets you expand the full history. You can see what the AI is doing without mistaking a healthy run for a stalled one and stopping it.
Improved
Specific positioning failure details
If positioning fails, the card shows the server's specific reason, such as missing profile fields, with field names in the interface language. You can see what to add before trying again instead of relying on a generic interruption message.
Improved
Confirmation when candidates are saved
When positioning finishes, the card confirms that the candidate list was saved and shows how many programs were saved. You can leave the page knowing the result is already in the list.
Improved
Latest profile data for queued runs
Queued positioning runs read the latest profile data when execution begins, and the start request only needs the target count. Profile updates made while waiting apply to the run instead of leaving it with an outdated snapshot.
Fixed
Updated login SMS signature
Login verification texts now use the new valid SMS signature, keeping delivery configuration aligned with Aliyun's latest signature requirements.
Fixed
Renewal prompt for expired Pro passes
If a Pro pass has expired during CV polishing, the renewal dialog opens instead of only showing a polishing failure. You can see why polishing stopped and renew without repeatedly retrying a blocked action.
More reliable program research and Chinese support
Restart or fully stop program research, see clearer retry status, add programs in your AI output language, and search for countries or regions by Chinese name.
Fixed
Restart canceled program research
After you stop program research, the program details page now shows a clear way to run it again. You can resume from the canceled state instead of staying stuck on a detail page with missing data.
Fixed
Stopping research clears its tasks
Stopping program research now removes queued tasks or aborts work already in progress. It also prevents duplicate research for the same program from running at the same time, so stopped tasks cannot keep using credits or overwrite later results.
Improved
Clearer research retry status
A failed research retry now shows an error message. Completed programs no longer show stale failed or stopped states, so you can see the retry result without unrelated status messages getting in the way.
Fixed
Website-added programs use your AI language
When you add a program from an official website link, the recognition progress text and saved school and program names now use your AI output language instead of always using English. Chinese users now see both the progress and saved information in Chinese rather than a mix of Chinese and English.
Improved
Search countries and regions by Chinese name
The school positioning background and preferences form and the onboarding target region form now let you search for and add any country or region by its Chinese name. Chinese users can directly find and add countries or regions beyond the common list.
Fixed
Region search results save correctly
Selecting a search result after typing part of a Chinese name no longer adds an invalid region that prevents the form from saving. The matching country or region is added correctly, and the form saves successfully.
School list and program details now show deadlines, tuition, recommendation evidence, and direct source links so you can compare programs and verify their information faster.
New
More details and filters in the school list
Each program row in the school list now shows the next application deadline, language requirements, and tuition. Sort by deadline or tuition, then filter by recommendation tier or deadline window to compare programs and rule out poor fits without opening each detail page.
New
Verifiable recommendation evidence
Recommendation reasons now expand to show the full text, risk warnings, and source links. Select the evidence count to review each source and open it directly, so you can verify the full reasoning behind every recommendation.
New
Positioning evidence in program details
Program details now include a positioning evidence section with the recommendation tier, full reason, risk warnings, and source evidence. You can review why the program was recommended to you without leaving the detail page.
New
Sources on every program section
Each information section in program details now shows its data source and retrieval time. Official sources open directly, so you can check each section against the original page.
Improved
Official links in the school list
Each program row in the school list now includes a direct link to the official website. You can check program requirements in one click.
Improved
More precise source links
Source links for deadlines, fees, admission requirements, and other program details now open the exact source page instead of the program homepage. For example, a deadline can open its admissions page. Sections that use multiple pages show every source link, so you can verify the information quickly.
