Roadmap & Release Cadence

PromptIQ ships an update every two weeks — each release brings accuracy improvements, bug fixes, and new features that close the remaining gaps between what a developer types and what the AI actually does. The goal is to keep raising the ceiling: every cycle the optimizer gets smarter, the score card gets more precise, and the edge cases that trip up real prompts get handled.
