Collection search results can now be added without invalid URL errors, rotation setup refreshes target servers after bot linking, and bulk imports use the capacity-filtered import count before showing upgrade prompts.
Dashboard settings, navigation, loading states, notifications, command palette rows, and emoji tools now use more consistent spacing, borders, radius, active states, and localized copy across supported languages.
Eligible coupons now work with crypto checkout as well as card checkout. Kao shows the discounted crypto price before sending you to NowPayments, and some trial-extension coupons can activate access without a crypto invoice.
New promotional banners and pricing discounts now refresh without waiting for stale page or API caches to expire. When Kao launches or updates a coupon, marketing pages can show the current offer as soon as the page loads in the browser.
Hosted Kao Bot imports now track Discord emoji creation capacity more accurately, so large imports are less likely to be queued earlier than necessary. Queued imports also keep clearer Discord retry timing in the import modal, operations dock, and Activity.
Animated imports that need background preparation now stay attached to their original import batch when Discord rate limits are active. Import progress, Activity, and admin queue views now use the same queue timing, including a clearer ready state when a queued item is due.
Animated emotes that need extra preparation now move into worker processing sooner, so imports can keep showing progress instead of waiting on expensive preparation work.
Bulk operation progress is easier to recover after navigating around the dashboard. Queue, Activity, and admin views now agree more consistently about whether work is waiting on your quota, server capacity, or a Discord rate limit.
Imports, rotations, syncs, and restores now share clearer Discord capacity handling. When work has to wait, Kao can show whether the delay is related to your quota, server capacity, or Discord’s emoji limits.
The bots dashboard now waits for access checks before showing setup choices. This prevents a brief flash of the wrong bot layout when your account has no configured bot access yet.
Kao launched with Discord sign-in, Bring Your Own Bot setup, emote search, imports, server emoji management, bulk deletion, and custom bot setup.Supported sources at launch included 7TV, BetterTTV, and FrankerFaceZ.
