What is Dorik?
A website builder restructuring its plans while the feed repeats every release four times
Two releases are visible behind heavy duplication — the April update appears four times and the March one twice. April introduced a new free plan with unlimited domains alongside Dorik Pro and Agency tiers, added a Table element and tooltip support for links and lists, released seven new templates, and fixed CMS pagination. March released six templates and fixed public API collection items not appearing on live sites, plus collection and page deletion and slug-change problems.
What is Lyssna?
Lyssna connects its UX research data to AI agents via MCP, making participant findings directly queryable from Claude and ChatGPT.
Lyssna is a UX research platform that launched a Model Context Protocol server in beta in July 2026, allowing Claude and ChatGPT to query research data directly in natural language. The platform continues expanding its test types — tree tests now support multiple tasks per tree, and card sorting has gained a hybrid mode. Transcript features (export, bulk download, third-party study routing) are a recurring improvement theme.

A website builder restructuring its plans while the feed repeats every release four times
◆ Current state
Two releases are visible behind heavy duplication — the April update appears four times and the March one twice. April introduced a new free plan with unlimited domains alongside Dorik Pro and Agency tiers, added a Table element and tooltip support for links and lists, released seven new templates, and fixed CMS pagination. March released six templates and fixed public API collection items not appearing on live sites, plus collection and page deletion and slug-change problems.
◆ Where it's heading
The plan restructuring is the most consequential item: an unlimited-domain free tier alongside named Pro and Agency plans is a repositioning toward agencies who manage many client sites, with the free tier as the entry point. The feature work stays modest — a table element, tooltips, template volume — and the fixes cluster around the CMS and API, which is where a site builder gets used seriously rather than casually.
◆ Prediction
Expect further agency-oriented capability to follow the Agency plan, since the tier now exists but the window shows no multi-site management features to justify it.

Lyssna connects its UX research data to AI agents via MCP, making participant findings directly queryable from Claude and ChatGPT.
◆ Current state
Lyssna is a UX research platform that launched a Model Context Protocol server in beta in July 2026, allowing Claude and ChatGPT to query research data directly in natural language. The platform continues expanding its test types — tree tests now support multiple tasks per tree, and card sorting has gained a hybrid mode. Transcript features (export, bulk download, third-party study routing) are a recurring improvement theme.
◆ Where it's heading
The MCP server is the clearest directional signal in Lyssna's recent history: research data is being positioned as a structured source for AI-assisted synthesis rather than requiring manual export and prompting. The Labs feature for third-party study participants shows Lyssna is also building toward panel access beyond its own test types.
◆ Prediction
Lyssna will expand MCP capabilities beyond read-only query toward automated insight surfacing — likely enabling AI to flag key findings or anomalies across study data without explicit analyst prompting.
