Kai gets a collection — and better manners
v1.2August 3, 2026Kai can now look like *your* Kai. Pick a starter color, then earn new looks by doing labs — never by paying. We also taught Kai better manners: you choose how present Kai is (Coach, Quiet, or Hidden), tips never interrupt you, and anything you dismiss stays dismissed. Quiet is care.
Added
- • Kai Collection: 4 starter colors + 12 earned looks (Meet Kai page)
- • Kai presence levels: Coach / Quiet / Hidden, switchable from Kai itself
- • Inline coach tips at lab checkpoints (dismissible forever)
Improved
- • All Kai animations respect reduced-motion settings
- • Quiet mode replaces the floating bubble with a labeled Ask Kai button
One lab, better name
v1.1August 3, 2026The diagnosis lab is now called "What Went Wrong?" — the name our reader panel chose. Same six prompts to fix, same gentle reveal. Old links still work.
Improved
- • Renamed Prompt Doctor → What Went Wrong? (reader-tested)
Fixed
- • Light-mode colors on dashboard and labs pages
- • Sandbox now accepts single-message requests (Prompt Diff, Gap Visualizer)
The Digital Zen era begins
v1.0August 2, 2026Kaizen Labs is now the hands-on companion to the Digital Zen ebook.

Read a chapter, then come try it.
Added
- • Five Start Here labs: A.I.M. Builder, Prompt Makeover, What Went Wrong?, Keep It Going, The Sunday Reset
- • A.I.M. scoring mode (Assign / Include / Make, scored gently)
- • Digital Zen light theme across the platform, dark mode retuned
Improved
- • Landing page, dashboard, and labs index redesigned in the ebook palette
