Your builder can now reference documents you shared earlier

Files and documents you've attached in previous messages are now available throughout your conversation — you can ask the builder to read or build on them at any point without re-uploading.

  • Attach a doc once and refer back to it in any later message
  • The builder reads only what it needs, keeping your conversation fast and focused
  • Works across your whole project conversation, respecting your app's boundaries

Apps build up to 65% faster

Your app now compiles in roughly half the time — a typical build finishes in 6–7 seconds instead of 11–15, and large apps go from 50 seconds down to about 16. Faster builds mean you spend less time waiting and more time creating.

  • Typical builds finish in about half the time they used to
  • Large, complex apps see the biggest gains — up to 65% faster
  • Lower CPU usage means builds stay snappy even when you're iterating quickly
Improved Link

Finished task progress clears itself automatically

When the AI finishes a batch of tasks, the completed task list now collapses and disappears on its own — or you can dismiss it yourself — so your workspace stays clean as you keep building.

  • Completed task cards collapse to a single summary line when done
  • Dismiss the finished card manually with one click, or it clears when you send your next message
  • No more stale task lists cluttering the editor between prompts
Improved Link

Database health panel now speaks plain English

The database health panel now opens in a simple view with a plain-English summary of how your app is performing — no technical knowledge required. A single toggle reveals the full technical detail whenever you want it.

  • Simple mode gives a clear one-paragraph summary of your app's data health
  • Each finding has a plain-English explanation of what it means and what to do
  • Toggle to advanced mode any time for the full technical breakdown

  • Automatically show product recommendations to keep shoppers browsing

Shopify product quizzes: recommend the perfect item every time

You can now build a quiz or survey inside your app that guides shoppers to exactly the right product from your Shopify store. The quiz always stays in sync with your live inventory — sold-out items are automatically skipped, so customers only ever see products they can actually buy.

  • Build a guided quiz that ends with a personalised Shopify product recommendation
  • Sold-out products are skipped automatically — no manual upkeep needed
  • Recommendations always reflect your current store catalogue in real time
Improved Link

Connect Twilio, Sendblue & SendGrid without leaving the card

  • Paste your Twilio, Sendblue, or SendGrid key right where you set up the connection
  • Fewer steps from 'I have a key' to 'it's live in my app'
  • Works the same whether you're connecting from the integrations page or the chat
Improved Link

See exactly when each user joined your app

  • Pending invitations display cleanly with no layout changes
