• Vancetope 0.1.0 — the first release 2026-07-30

  The very first tagged release of Vancetope is out. It's early, it's rough, and it's real — you can install it today.

• Research a topic, end to end — in one conversation 2026-07-30

  Ask once, and Vancetope commissions a deep-dive with Marvin, reshapes it into a mindmap, illustrates it, compiles a document — and exports a PDF. All without leaving the chat.

  Ask about a stock and Vancetope pulls the prices off the web, charts them as candlesticks, and returns an assessment that cites the numbers it stands on.
