Product Updates | May 2026
What's new in Circuit?
Better experiences for visitors. Faster work for you.
Maps are more accessible. Pronunciation is smarter. Your CMS is faster to navigate. Plus, the Instagram wait list is open.
Here's what's new this month.
Every visitor can navigate your map with ease
Your map experience now meets WCAG 2.1 Level A and AA accessibility standards, meaning visitors who rely on keyboards or assistive technology can explore your campus just as easily as anyone else.
They can browse markers, open location details, get directions, and close panels, all without a mouse. Focus stays on visible markers so nothing feels disorienting, and a cleaner layout with an improved "skip to content" link gets people to what they need faster.
Hear it in context, fix it with confidence
We heard you. Proper nouns are tricky for AI — "Strachan" isn't pronounced the way it looks, and Circuit's AI-generated audio should be smart enough to get it right.
The updated pronunciation workflow now pulls example sentences directly from your content, so you can hear any word or name spoken in context before deciding whether to adjust it. That context also helps the AI interpret language cues more accurately, meaning fewer corrections needed and better audio out of the box.
Scan and manage your content faster
Managing a large tour library means a lot of scanning. Listing views are now cleaner: tighter columns, single-line titles, and horizontal scrolling on smaller screens keep everything readable without the clutter.
For power users who want to fit even more on screen, try the new Snug mode in your account settings. Same information, just closer together. Circuit editors, we see you.
Real people, real moments, now inside your tour
Real life doesn't sit still, and now your virtual tour doesn't have to either. Coming soon, you'll have the ability to embed Instagram content directly into your tours, letting real-world moments live alongside your curated experience. It's the kind of depth that keeps visitors engaged and makes your tour feel alive.
This one's rolling out in a limited beta very soon. Register for early access and you'll be among the first to use it.
