Changelog

Prestige, Maki Imports, and Reward Update

September 6, 2026

We've shipped another batch of Kiai improvements! Since the Dashboard release, we've been continuing to clean things up, expand what Kiai can do, and make the overall experience smoother across the bot, dashboard, and API. Here's a taste of what's new: 🌟 Prestige Premium servers can now enable Prestige, letting members reset their XP after reaching a customizable XP requirement to earn a higher prestige rank. You can make prestiging manual or automatic, customize what prestige is called in your server, use prestige leaderboards, and create rewards that depend on both level and prestige. 📦 Maki Importing You can now import leveling data from Maki through /levels import, including XP, levels, level role rewards, and Maki's XP formula. 🎁 Rewards Got a Major Upgrade Rewards have been completely rebuilt around a more reliable internal system, making role rewards, message rewards, money rewards, webhook rewards (new!), temporary rewards, and syncing behave more consistently. This also gives us a much stronger foundation for future reward improvements that we will be adding soon. 🧵 Private Thread XP Control Server managers can now disable XP gain in private threads, giving you more control over where members can earn XP. 🧩 A Bigger, Better Kiai API Kiai's public API has been expanded with new v3 routes, covering things like cooldowns, auto leaderboards, reward syncing, leaderboard roles, prestige, XP drops, exports, level-up messages, stats, premium status, blacklist status, and feature previews. We've also added a new unified API docs page: > ### kiai.app/api/docs 🔥 Bonus Fixes - We've made several improvements to the Dashboard, including better handling for network errors, fewer stuck loading states, clearer authorization pages, improved checkout error handling, and performance optimizations across the entire site. - Kiai's Premium redemption process has been simplified on our side. With this, we expect less errors when attempting to create/administrate whitelabel bots, as well as when configuring premium-only settings. - Premium servers can now fully customize XP drop messages, including moving the button elsewhere in the message. - Fixed an issue where users would gain voice XP while server muted We've also shipped a variety of bug fixes and internal improvements to logging, analytics, auto leaderboards, locale handling, browser translation issues, and general stability. As always, if you run into any issues, please let us know in the Support Server!


Kiai Dashboard is Live!

August 10, 2026

We're beyond excited to release the Kiai Dashboard into general access today! After months of iterating, fixing, and testing, we're happy to finally be able to release Kiai's Dashboard! Having been perpetually near the top of our to-do list internally, we're excited to build on the dash in the future and provide even more ways to customise Kiai! 🎚️ Manage & Customize Kiai in a whole new way From the Dashboard, you can now manage and customize your Kiai experience via a dedicated web interface, taking the tediousness of the /settings command away! Dashboard Discord Activity We know a lot of people prefer to remain within Discord when configuring bots, so we're also releasing the Kiai Dashboard as a Discord Activity! Start the activity via running /dashboard, or from the Activity Launcher in any text or voice channel. The Dashboard Activity is not available for Whitelabel Kiai instances, sorry! 📖 Revised Docs Site Our documentation website for Kiai has been given a complete redesign, from how the docs look visually, to their content. We're also now open for contributions to improve the docs! ⚠️ It's still a work in progress With that said, we must emphasize that this is a beta release. Some things may not be available on the dashboard, or they may not function correctly. Please expect bugs, and if you do happen to encounter them, please report them to us via the channel in our Discord server. We're going to be continually patching bugs, adding features, and making fixes from this point onwards. ## 👉 Check it out, live right now: > ## kiai.app/dashboard
