Release notes for the DroboAI website and Windows desktop app.
Install or update from the download button; the in-app updater pulls the latest desktop build automatically.
Fixed Amazon discover stalling on ‘searching’ and posting nothing: Amazon sometimes returns a bot-check page (HTTP 200 with no products) that was mistaken for ‘no results’, so discover looped forever finding nothing. It now detects that challenge, retries the same session, and automatically falls back to the browser search to get real results.
Discover product pages now reuse the browser’s Amazon session (cookies) and refresh them automatically after repeated blocks, instead of fetching as an anonymous client — far fewer ‘blocked/skipped’ items, so listings actually post.
Verified live across US, UK, AU, DE and CA marketplaces.
Desktop v1.0.149
AliExpress product data via fast API (discover + listings refresh)
DroboAI Desktop
AliExpress product data (title, price, images, shipping, rating, sold) now comes from a fast product API instead of visiting each product page in the browser — far more reliable, no more captcha blocks or slow page loads on the product step.
AliExpress discover still searches in the browser to collect product links, then pulls each product's data via the API.
AliExpress listings refresh now uses the same API — no browser, no Capsolver needed for refresh.
Product images are normalized to eBay-friendly JPEGs automatically.
Desktop v1.0.148
Delete listings: end on eBay + remove from cloud + local config
DroboAI Desktop
Listings → Delete now ends the selected listings on eBay, removes them from cloud backup, and deletes them from local config — they will not come back on the next cloud pull.
Batch eBay end (up to 25 at a time) for faster bulk deletes.
Desktop v1.0.147
Fix: Min rating / Min sold showing on Amazon supplier
DroboAI Desktop
Min rating and Min sold now only appear under a dedicated ‘AliExpress filters’ section when AliExpress is selected — they no longer show in the top row while Amazon is active.
Desktop v1.0.146
Restored verified Prime / free-shipping search filters for AU, UK, DE
DroboAI Desktop
Amazon discover now uses the correct, verified marketplace search codes: Prime on amazon.com.au, and free-shipping on amazon.co.uk and amazon.de (plus US Prime + free-shipping). Previously these used wrong codes that returned zero results.
Free-shipping filtering now works at search time on the UK and Germany marketplaces.
Marketplaces without a verified code (e.g. CA, FR) still run a normal keyword search and filter after scraping, so discover keeps working everywhere.
Desktop v1.0.145
Min rating / Min sold filters now AliExpress-only
DroboAI Desktop
The ‘Min rating’ and ‘Min sold’ discover filters now only appear (and only apply) when the AliExpress supplier is selected — where rating and sold counts are reliable. They no longer show or filter on Amazon discover.
Desktop v1.0.144
Fix: Amazon discover finding nothing on non-US marketplaces (AU/UK/…)
DroboAI Desktop
Fixed Amazon auto-discover getting stuck on ‘searching…’ and finding nothing on non-US eBay sites (eBay AU, UK, etc.). The Prime/free-shipping search filter used US-only Amazon codes that returned zero results on other marketplaces — non-US now runs a normal keyword search and filters after scraping.
Prime filtering is no longer wrongly applied to non-US Amazon listings (the Prime badge isn’t detectable the same way outside the US), so AU/UK products stop getting skipped as ‘not Prime’.
US Amazon discover behavior is unchanged.
Desktop v1.0.143
AliExpress refresh: real multithreading + fewer blocks
DroboAI Desktop
AliExpress refresh now runs multiple browser sessions in parallel (one per thread on the speed dial) instead of funneling everything through a single Chrome — much faster on large batches.
AliExpress Chrome is now visible (tiled on screen) instead of hidden off-screen, so you can watch scrapes and captchas.
Item pages open directly with a warmed, same-origin session and host-alternated retries (aliexpress.us ↔ .com), which cuts down the ‘blocked’ failures.
Desktop v1.0.142
Fix: “Refresh failed: no rows loaded” + faster listings load
DroboAI Desktop
Fixed listings refresh failing with ‘no rows loaded’ even when rows were on screen — a transient eBay hiccup was silently wiping the loaded rows. Your account and rows are now kept through brief re-verification failures.
Refresh now rebuilds the row list on the fly if the cache was cleared, so a valid selection always runs.
Listings load faster and more reliably: the live active-listing check is cached per account (10 min) and no longer hammers eBay on every load, which was tripping rate limits and leaving the page stuck showing every historical row.
Desktop v1.0.141
Reliable + stoppable AliExpress listing refresh
DroboAI Desktop
Stop now actually stops AliExpress refresh — the Stop signal is threaded all the way into the browser and captcha-solve loop, so it bails within seconds instead of finishing the current (slow) item first.
Added a per-item time budget so one stubborn/captcha-heavy AliExpress row can no longer freeze the whole refresh — it gives up cleanly and moves on.
Refresh no longer flags rows for review when you press Stop mid-scrape (stopped items are skipped quietly).
Desktop v1.0.140
Fix: first launch after an update no longer shows a blank page
DroboAI Desktop
Fixed the ‘this page isn’t working / ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE’ that appeared on the first run after an update (WebView2 now uses a stable data folder instead of a fresh one per version, so updates load correctly on the first launch).
AliExpress refresh retries the Capsolver slider solve several times instead of giving up after one failed drag.
Desktop v1.0.133
AliExpress variant-aware titles & descriptions
DroboAI Desktop
AliExpress now detects the selected variant (size/color) and its price so multi-option listings are handled correctly.
GPT title is forced to match the selected variant — no more '72"H' titles on a 60in item.
GPT description won't state a size/spec that contradicts the selected variant.
Desktop v1.0.132
Listings refresh: select by supplier
DroboAI Desktop
Listings refresh: new 'Select Amazon' / 'Select AliExpress' buttons check every visible row for that supplier so you can refresh one source at a time.
Desktop v1.0.131
Fix AliExpress overpricing / price band not honored
DroboAI Desktop
Fix AliExpress listings priced way too high: the post-time gallery fetch no longer re-derives the price and can't overwrite the already in-range price.
AliExpress PDP price now ignores the 'Similar Items' section so a neighbouring product's price is never used.
Removed price inflation — the live product-page price is used as-is, so items stay inside your Min/Max band.
Desktop v1.0.130
Accurate pricing + rating/sold quality filters
DroboAI Desktop
Fix AliExpress underpricing: listings now use the live product-page price, not the stale (lower) feed price.
Fix Amazon prices: cost basis is the real buy-box price you pay, not the inflated strikethrough MSRP — refresh no longer revises to wrong prices.
New discover filters: Min rating (default 4.0 stars) and Min sold (default 100) skip low-quality/low-demand items on Amazon and AliExpress.
Desktop v1.0.129
Faster Amazon auto discover pacing
DroboAI Desktop
Amazon auto discover: speed 2×/3× now shortens scrape sleeps and queues more products per search round.
Higher speed also raises the pending queue cap so scrapers pause less while eBay posts.
Speed dial now only scales Amazon scrapers; eBay posting is always single-threaded.
OS trust store (truststore) + SSL retry for reliable HTTPS under antivirus/proxy.
Fix login stuck on Restoring when running from source with --debug.
Amazon cookie-refresh browser launches off-screen (no random blank Chrome tab).
Upload activity logged to desktop_activity.log for troubleshooting.
Desktop v1.0.82
Required item specifics only + pricing validation fix
DroboAI Desktop
Item specifics: only REQUIRED fields, filled from eBay’s suggested values (no GPT, no optional aspects).
Validates price/format before save-template so Pricing/Variations errors surface earlier with a clear message.
Desktop v1.0.81
Restore ebayModule listing flow on desktop (US + AU)
DroboAI Desktop
createTemplate/postListing now mirror modules/ebayModule.py step-for-step (browser cookies only difference).
Removed extra item-specific PUTs that broke save-template; GPT fills specifics once, then falls back to eBay suggested values like the server.
Desktop v1.0.80
AI fills required eBay item specifics with suggested fallbacks
DroboAI Desktop
Required item specifics (Brand, MPN, etc.) are filled by GPT from the title and description, then fall back to eBay’s popular/suggested values (e.g. Unbranded) if AI is unavailable.
Specifics are re-applied before template save and again on the publish draft so listings no longer fail with “Brand; REQUIRED” errors.
Desktop v1.0.79
Restore working eBay publish flow (all marketplaces)
DroboAI Desktop
Upload publish again follows the proven server flow: save template, open a fresh draft from that template, then publish live (fixes listings stuck as Seller Hub drafts).
Photos attach right after EPS upload (same order as the backend ebayModule) so the saved template includes the full gallery.
Desktop v1.0.78
Fix eBay publish failures on AU and international sites
DroboAI Desktop
Publish now uses the same fully-built listing draft (photos, shipping, returns) instead of reopening a blank copy from the saved template.
Fix photo-less drafts and duplicate listing attempts
DroboAI Desktop
Photos are attached to the listing draft immediately before save/publish (after category/title/shipping) so they no longer get wiped.
Stopped creating empty orphan eBay drafts on every upload from the shipping-policy pre-fetch.
Publish only deletes the saved template after a confirmed item ID; attribute parsing no longer crashes mid-template.
Desktop v1.0.76
Amazon discover back to server-style scraping
DroboAI Desktop
Discover no longer uses Chrome Amazon cookies, homepage warm-up, or 90s cookie-refresh cooldowns — matches the server scraper: direct HTTP + glow zip + search.
Removed block-cooldown sleeps that stalled AU discover for 60+ seconds after a captcha.
Upload activity log now shows every createTemplate step (listing form, draft, EPS images, category, save) instead of going silent after “createTemplate →”.
Listing API calls capped at 120s per step with a clear timeout error instead of hanging up to 10 minutes.
Shipping profile fetch and publish steps also log to the activity panel.
Desktop v1.0.74
Fix session verify hang on AU/intl eBay
DroboAI Desktop
Upload no longer hangs on “Verifying eBay session” — replaced slow tasksModule call (no timeout) with a fast 45s Seller Hub check.
Uses the account name already captured at login instead of re-fetching it on every post.
Desktop v1.0.73
Intl eBay POST: all browser cookies + correct TLD
DroboAI Desktop
eBay upload now pulls every live eBay cookie from Chrome (with real domain/path per TLD) instead of flattening to ebay.com.
nonsession + ebaysid are pinned to their actual cookie domain (.ebay.com.au, .ebay.co.uk, etc.).
Browser login marketplace wins over cloud/settings when posting — logs show cookie count, domains, and target TLD.
Desktop v1.0.72
Fix Launch Browser on Chrome 148
DroboAI Desktop
Fixed Launch Browser failing with “cannot reuse the ChromeOptions object” after a Chrome/driver mismatch — each retry now builds fresh options and clears the driver cache.
Added a third fallback attempt that lets undetected-chromedriver fully auto-detect the driver when version pinning fails.
Desktop v1.0.71
International eBay upload: correct marketplace domain
DroboAI Desktop
Upload now detects the eBay marketplace from your Chrome session cookie (ebay.com.au, ebay.co.uk, etc.) instead of defaulting to ebay.com — fixes session denied / stuck posting for AU and other countries.
Session verify and upload logs now show which eBay domain is being used so mismatches are obvious.
Shipping service codes for UK, DE, and CA now match the server backend when no business policy is set.
Desktop v1.0.70
Activity log always visible on Upload page
DroboAI Desktop
Activity log is now always visible on the Upload page — no need to open Advanced to see what’s happening.
Every upload step (GPT rewrite, eBay session check, image processing, template creation) now logs to the activity panel in real time.
Added Clear button to reset the log.
Desktop v1.0.69
Detailed discover logs + faster cookie refresh
DroboAI Desktop
Discover now logs the exact Amazon domain, search URL, cookie status, HTTP response, and block signals every round — makes diagnosing AU/international issues much easier.
Chrome cookie refresh now triggers after 2 empty rounds instead of 3, so blocked sessions recover faster.
Desktop v1.0.68
AU & international discover: simpler and correct
DroboAI Desktop
The desktop runs on your own device in your country — your IP is already local, Amazon serves your local currency, and your price settings are already in that currency. No proxy or conversion needed.
AU search filter now matches the server scraper exactly (Prime domestic + free-shipping combined).
Desktop v1.0.67
AU discover fully fixed (search filter + price band)
DroboAI Desktop
Fixed: AU Amazon search now uses the same Prime-domestic + free-shipping filter as the server scraper — matching the URL that actually returns results.
Fixed: price filter ($4–$16 default) is now converted to local currency before comparing — AU products priced in AUD were being silently dropped because $16 USD ≈ $25 AUD.
Desktop v1.0.66
Auto-match Amazon region to your eBay site
DroboAI Desktop
Discover now scrapes the Amazon storefront that matches your eBay marketplace automatically (e.g. eBay AU → amazon.com.au, eBay NL → amazon.nl) — no longer limited to a short hardcoded list of countries.
Desktop v1.0.65
Australian discovery now finds products
DroboAI Desktop
Fixed: Australian sellers came up empty in Discover — the amazon.com.au search now uses the current free-shipping filter so eligible products surface again.
Still only lists free-shipping-eligible items (no slow-ship products), and uses your saved postal code for Amazon + eBay item location.
Desktop v1.0.63
Gentler discover speed (1–3, default 1)
DroboAI Desktop
Discover speed dial is now 1–3 (was 1–5) and defaults to 1 thread — easier on Amazon when you’re getting rate-limited.
Speed 3 max is capped at 2 scrapers + 2 uploaders (less aggressive than before).
Desktop v1.0.62
Keeps running when minimized
DroboAI Desktop
Fixed: Discover (and Listings refresh) no longer pause when the app window is minimized — the bot keeps posting in the background.
UI updates are now decoupled from the window, so a minimized/hidden window can't stall the worker threads.
Desktop v1.0.61
Discover speed dial
DroboAI Desktop
New Speed dial (1–5) on the Discover page — just like the Listings page — scales how aggressively it runs.
Higher speed = more parallel Amazon scrapers + eBay uploaders and a deeper queue; lower = gentler on Amazon/eBay. Your choice is remembered.
Desktop v1.0.60
Dual-thread discovery with steady queue
DroboAI Desktop
Discover now searches Amazon with 2 parallel scrapers, filling the queue faster.
Queue holds steady at 10: scrapers pause when full and resume the moment uploaders drain it below 10 — always posting, never scraping too far ahead.
Desktop v1.0.59
Faster GPT model for quicker posting
DroboAI Desktop
Switched title, description, category and item-specifics GPT calls to a faster model (gpt-4.1-nano) — noticeably quicker uploads.
Same structured output quality, lower latency per listing.
Desktop v1.0.58
Clean GPT titles & descriptions at post time
DroboAI Desktop
Title and description are always rewritten by GPT when a listing is posted — not during Amazon scrape (faster queue).
Fixes raw Amazon bullet paste (?Wide Compatibility?, ALL CAPS blocks) on eBay descriptions.
Desktop v1.0.57
Smarter randomized product search
DroboAI Desktop
Discover search now randomizes phrasing patterns (bare word, '<word> products', '<adjective> <word>', '<word> for <context>', 'best <word>', etc.) over a large word pool, so queries rarely repeat.
Pure local generation — no GPT/network in the search step, keeping scrapes fast.
Desktop v1.0.56
Varied product discovery
DroboAI Desktop
Discover now searches a large built-in bank of real product categories with random modifiers, so each round finds genuinely different products.
Fixes repetitive listings caused by the old search falling back to a generic 'shop <number> products' query in the installed build.
Randomly samples a results page so repeated categories still surface new items. The exact search term is shown in the log each round.
Desktop v1.0.55
Parallel posting — queue is always uploading
DroboAI Desktop
Discover now posts multiple listings at once (3 parallel uploaders) instead of one-at-a-time, so queued products don't sit waiting.
Each parallel post uses its own eBay session; browser cookie reads are serialized so nothing clashes.
Desktop v1.0.54
Much faster discover posting
DroboAI Desktop
Discover: cap 6 bordered gallery images per listing (was unlimited Amazon images).
EPS: fetch listing tokens once per draft + parallel frame/upload (was re-loading the editor page per image).
Discover: less artificial delay between Amazon scrapes; queue more products per search round.
Progress text shows when each listing is actively posting.
Desktop v1.0.53
Bordered EPS images enforced on publish
DroboAI Desktop
Discover/upload: listings now require bordered images uploaded to eBay Picture Services — raw Amazon gallery URLs are no longer published when EPS fails.
EPS uses the ebaysid cookie from your Chrome session (not nonsession) so the custom framed image uploader can succeed.
Desktop v1.0.52
Faster AI + opaque listings table
DroboAI Desktop
GPT: desktop requests use gpt-4.1-mini via the server proxy (faster, lower cost than gpt-4o).
Listings: fixed see-through header and rows when scrolling (solid backgrounds).
Server
Default OpenAI model for desktop GPT proxy is gpt-4.1-mini; responses include the model name for verification.
Desktop v1.0.51
Listings table visible again
DroboAI Desktop
Listings: fixed empty table (flex layout had collapsed the row area to a thin strip); table uses a stable viewport height again.
Column headers stay inside the scroll box so long lists do not overlap.
Desktop v1.0.50
Listings page layout fix
DroboAI Desktop
Listings: fixed overlapping headers and rows when scrolling long lists (single scroll area, column headers stick inside the table).
Virtual list scroll math accounts for the header height so rows align with columns.
Desktop v1.0.49
Profile rename fix & launcher splash
DroboAI Desktop
Browser profiles: renaming or switching profiles stops Chrome before moving login data on disk; failed moves roll back settings so you are not launched into an empty profile.
App updates bundle a fresh launcher (pending_bootstrap) so shortcuts pick up the frameless aurora install/update splash without re-downloading Setup.
Profile add/delete/switch waits for Chrome file locks on Windows before changing folders.
Website
Silent desktop update v1.0.49 published on the version manifest.
Desktop v1.0.48
Profiles, filters, installer splash & listings UX
DroboAI Desktop
Browser profiles: Add keeps your current Chrome session; Save current login copies your logged-in Chrome data into a new profile; switching profiles from the dropdown still relaunches when needed.
Listing filters ship with a large default apparel & footwear keyword blocklist (editable in Settings); built-in Amazon title blocks use the same list.
Installer/update splash matches the in-app DroboAI boot screen (WebView2) with clear steps: checking for updates, downloading, verifying, installing, launching.
Listings: sync settings on the page with a warning when factory defaults are still in use; sticky progress bar and column headers; Stop button and speed dial (1–5 workers) during refresh.
Upload, Orders, and Listings stay locked until the Session browser is running; Session and Settings remain available.
Custom confirm/prompt modals replace native browser dialogs; toasts appear centered in the main workspace.
Profile dropdown: rename and delete inside each row; listings table column alignment and refresh status badges improved.
Website
Product updates page includes this release (v1.0.48).
Desktop v1.0.47
Auto upload discover fix
DroboAI Desktop
Discover & Post (auto upload) no longer crashes on startup when Chrome cookie-refresh modules fail to load in the frozen build.
Lazy-imports for Amazon browser and wonderwords so discover starts reliably; clearer log if an install is corrupted.
Desktop v1.0.46
Smarter listings refresh & regional end-listing
DroboAI Desktop
Listings → Refresh: if Amazon price cannot be fetched (404, blocked page, missing price, etc.) or eBay rejects a price revise, that row’s listing is ended on your regional eBay site and removed from local config.
End-listing uses Seller Hub’s end-listings flow with the correct marketplace host (ebay.com, ebay.co.uk, ebay.de, and other supported regions).
Refresh picks up your active eBay domain from Desktop Settings and the Session browser before each batch.
Website
Static assets (CSS/JS) now use versioned URLs and cache headers so users get fresh styles after deploys without a hard refresh.
Desktop v1.0.45
Site banners, desktop boot UX, and layout polish
Website
Admin-managed site-wide announcement banner on all pages (multiline text supported).
App layout: banners sit above the sidebar; dashboard and account pages use a consistent app shell.
Experimental-country notice for non-US eBay regions (when no admin banner is showing).
Promo page styling improvements.
DroboAI Desktop
Animated bootstrap splash and clearer cold-start / update progress in the desktop app.
Improved loading indicators in desktop toasts and operations.
Marketplace regions & documentation
Supported regions
Country/Region in Desktop Settings supports United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, and Canada — each paired with the matching Amazon site for pricing.
Listing refresh, upload, and orders use your selected eBay domain automatically (one marketplace per session).
US (ebay.com) remains the most tested path; other regions are supported but marked experimental on the website.
Website & admin
Documentation hub with setup guides for eBay, Amazon cookies, and troubleshooting.
Admin users panel and site availability improvements.
Windows desktop download only (Mac installer removed from download links).
