Weekly release
Covers what shipped on September 10. The headline is three new workspace-wide controls for security- and compliance-minded teams — Guardrails, Governance, and Tracing — alongside a more capable Genie Agents editor: a real test run on the canvas, testing a single connected-app step on its own, a built-in Genie connector, a new Notification step, and value chips for wiring steps together.

Updates

  • Guardrails: control what Genie AI will discuss. Teams-plan workspaces can now turn on guardrails from workspace settings — dial the strength of harmful-content filters, name off-limits topics, and block specific words — all configured in plain language. See Guardrails.
  • Governance: review projects and enforce compliance rules. A new workspace settings page lets owners and admins approve, flag, or disable individual projects, see every integration and knowledge document shared workspace-wide, and write natural-language compliance rules — with built-in templates for things like GDPR and the EU AI Act — that re-check every project automatically whenever it ships. See Governance.
  • Tracing: see every Genie AI turn in your workspace. A new admin page lists every conversation turn any member has had with Genie AI — model, tokens, credits, timing, and every tool call — with a detailed view of any individual turn, gated behind its own permission. See Tracing.
  • Genie Agents can now be tested for real. A Test run button starts an actual run of your saved agent and paints live status on every step as it goes, and Test this step runs a single connected-app step on its own with realistic example values — no need to save or run the whole flow first. If a step’s test fails, hand it to Genie AI with one click and it proposes a fix. See Testing an agent.
  • Genie itself is now a built-in connected app for Genie Agents — nothing to set up, always available — so a step can create a project, send a follow-up prompt, or change a workspace setting as part of an automation. See Genie Agents.
  • A new Notification step pushes a message straight into the Genie app for whoever ran the agent, or for the agent’s owner — no email address or webhook to configure.
  • Wiring a step to an earlier one’s output is now a chip inside the field itself, with a nested picker to find the right value, instead of a separate reference list below the form.
  • The Genie MCP Server now covers Guardrails, Governance, and Tracing, so an external AI client has the same access an admin has from the settings pages. See Genie MCP Server.
  • Genie AI’s activity feed now names which connected app a step used — “Searching Notion”, “Added something in Linear” — instead of a generic “Working on it”.
Weekly release
Covers what shipped on September 9. The headline is a reworked workspace: one settings surface instead of two disconnected screens, custom roles with fine-grained permissions, and a simplified sidebar built around your chat history. Workflow apps also got a public name — Genie Agents — a faster way to create one, and row-level controls.

Updates

  • Workspace and personal settings are now one surface. They used to be two unrelated screens — workspace settings inside the workspace, personal settings as a bare page with no way back. Open either from the account menu at the bottom of the sidebar and you get the same navigation, with the other half always one click away. See Account settings.
  • Custom roles. Beyond the four built-in roles, owners and admins can now build custom roles that narrow exactly what a role can do — remove billing access, keep member management, drop the ability to delete projects — from a catalog of granular permissions. See Custom roles.
  • A simpler workspace sidebar. Your chat history is now the sidebar’s main content, and the conversation you have open marks its own place there — no separate “Genie AI” entry needed. Drag the sidebar’s edge to resize it or collapse it to icons only, and drag it back out to reopen.
  • The command palette (⌘K) got a visual refresh — a cleaner list of results without the extra sidebar it used to show.
  • Workflow apps are now called Genie Agents. You can now build one directly from the Genie Agents page — give it a name and a first step and you land straight in the editor, without describing it to Genie AI first. Rename, pause/resume, or delete an agent from its row menu, and switch between a card or table view of your agents. See Genie Agents.
  • Microsoft 365 (Outlook, OneDrive, SharePoint) can now be connected as a workspace integration — a personal, per-member connection like the other mailbox-style connectors. See Integrations.
  • Workspace chats now show a real name in their header — the title you gave the chat, or its first message — with a way to rename it and see which projects it’s connected to, instead of every open conversation reading “New chat.”

Fixes

  • Fixed a build-status check that could time out on a longer-running build, leaving the status stuck instead of showing what actually happened.
  • Fixed a rare case where Genie AI’s reply could fail outright if saving its own live status update failed, even though the reply itself was already fine.
  • Fixed the workspace chat history sometimes not scrolling your open chat into view when it loaded in after the rest of the list.
Weekly release
Covers what shipped since September 5. The headline is workflow apps — a new kind of app a workspace can hold with no UI of its own, just a flow of steps that runs on a schedule or a webhook — alongside API keys for talking to Genie AI from your own code, projects that can now share one Genie Cloud backend, and a redesigned Genie AI chat with your history in a resizable sidebar and private-by-default conversations.

Updates

  • Workflow apps: a new kind of app with no screen of its own. Build a flow of steps — query your Genie Cloud database, call an external API, ask the AI to do something, run one of your project’s own backend functions, or call another workflow app — configured by describing what you want to Genie AI, with a visual editor if you’d rather see and adjust the flow by hand. Run it on a schedule or trigger it from an incoming webhook. See Workflow apps.
  • Talk to Genie AI from your own code. Workspaces can now mint API keys so a backend, a cron job, or a bot can send messages to your workspace’s Genie AI over HTTP — billed to the workspace, and a real conversation your team can see and reply to, not a separate assistant. See Workspace API keys.
  • A new project can now share an existing one’s Genie Cloud backend instead of starting with an empty database — useful when two apps are really facets of the same product and should see the same customers and data. Each app still deploys and bills separately; only the data is shared. See Genie Cloud.
  • Genie AI chat history moved into the workspace sidebar, which you can now resize by dragging its edge — it used to appear only on the empty chat screen, capped to a few rows, and vanish the moment you sent a message.
  • Workspace chats are now private by default. Only you can read a chat you started; share it with the workspace explicitly if you want teammates to see or continue it. Previously every chat was visible to the whole team by default.
  • Linked sign-ins. Sign in a new way — your company turns on SSO, or you use a different login method — and if it matches your existing account’s verified email, Genie links it automatically instead of creating a confusing empty duplicate account. Manage your linked sign-ins from Account Settings.
  • Per-member connections for personal integrations, like a mailbox: an admin still sets the connector up once for the workspace, but each teammate connects their own account, and Genie always acts using the person talking to it — never falling back to someone else’s connection. See Integrations.
  • Spreadsheets keep their formulas and cell references when attached to Genie AI, instead of arriving as a flattened table of values — so “why is the total in D7 wrong?” is now answerable. Large workbooks (well past 10 MB, into the millions of rows) are now supported too, and Apple Numbers files work the same as .xlsx.
  • Claude (Anthropic) models are now available through Genie’s built-in AI relay, alongside OpenAI, for your project’s own backend code — no separate Anthropic account needed. See Built-in AI.
  • Your app can now send spreadsheet attachments through Genie’s built-in AI. An .xlsx file passed to one of your project’s own AI features is automatically converted to a plain-text table before reaching the model — no AI model reads a spreadsheet directly, so this happens with no setup on your end. See Built-in AI.
  • The workspace dashboard got a refresh: a full-viewport hero with your projects below the fold, a stable example prompt instead of a typing animation, and Tab to accept it.
  • The Genie AI chat now follows your app’s theme instead of always rendering dark, so it matches whichever of light or dark mode you’ve chosen.

Fixes

  • Fixed the deployment status pill in Genie AI chat sometimes hanging on “building” forever when a run never reported back that it had settled.
  • Fixed a scheduled job that could point at a not-yet-deployed edge function — scheduling now deploys the run’s own function first if it isn’t live yet, instead of the schedule silently never firing.
  • Fixed image generation rejecting requests with an aspect ratio a model didn’t support — Genie now clamps or repairs the aspect ratio automatically instead of failing the request.
  • Genie MCP Server: a follow-up prompt sent to a project that’s already building now queues automatically instead of failing outright, matching how the web app already behaves. See Genie MCP Server.
  • Fixed navigating between workspace pages — Overview, Genie AI, Activities, Archive, Settings — flashing a full-screen loading animation on every click, most noticeable from the dashboard; switching pages in the sidebar now feels instant.
Weekly release
This update makes named things in a Genie-built app — a user, an order, a project — link to their own page or details, and fixes washed-out button text on some brand colors along with a few workspace chat and design mock-up rough edges.

Updates

  • Named things in an app Genie builds for you are now clickable, wherever the app has its own page or dialog for them — a customer on an order row, a user on a task card — instead of being plain, inert text.
  • Genie MCP Server: generate_design_mock now takes a layout and color direction, matching the in-app design mock-up tool — external MCP clients previously had no way to steer either, so a mock-up’s direction was left entirely to the image model. brief_design_mock_for_build also now returns a ready-to-paste design section. See Genie MCP Server.

Fixes

  • Fixed a multi-page design mock-up reserving an empty gap where its page tabs would go while the pages were still generating — it now shows a placeholder tab for each page, sized to fit, while they paint.
  • Fixed some medium-brightness brand colors getting washed-out black button text when you asked Genie to theme your app — buttons on a color like a sage green or a bright blue now get white text where that reads better, matching common design convention, while colors too light for white text (like a pale yellow) are unaffected.
  • Fixed a few workspace chat cards showing English “preparing…” text to German users while their details were still loading in.
  • Fixed the standalone workspace chat page not scrolling the conversation unless your cursor was exactly over it.
Weekly release
This update stops Genie’s “something in your app” alert reassuring you about a network hiccup when the failure was actually your own project’s backend.

Fixes

  • Fixed the “Genie noticed something in your app” alert calling a failure a one-off network hiccup when the request had actually failed against your own project’s Edge Function — undeployed, crashed on boot, or missing a CORS header, which the browser reports identically to a real network blip but won’t fix itself on reload. Genie AI’s hand-off prompt now checks the function itself instead of suggesting you check your connection. See Genie tells you when it notices something wrong.
Weekly release
This update tells you plainly when Genie’s AI provider is just busy instead of showing a generic error, brings the build preview-refresh control to workspace projects where it was unreachable, and fixes dates written in German format sometimes being saved wrong in your Genie Cloud database.

Fixes

  • Fixed workspace chat showing a generic “Something went wrong” message when Genie’s AI provider was only temporarily overloaded. It now says so plainly and keeps the Retry button live for that case, instead of reading like a bug in your message or in Genie.
  • Fixed the “See current version” preview-refresh button being unreachable on a workspace project. It used to live only on the project chat, which is admin-only there; it’s now also on Genie AI’s own build card, with the same one-time auto-refresh once your build settles.
  • Fixed dates written in German format (like 21.08.2026) sometimes being saved as the wrong date, or rejected outright, when Genie AI wrote data into your Genie Cloud database. These are now read correctly before being stored.
Weekly release
This update makes an approved design mock-up’s own picture reach your build, gives every choice card a way to type your own answer, and fixes workspace chat conversations that used web search sometimes getting permanently stuck after a reload.

Fixes

  • Fixed an approved design mock-up’s picture not actually carrying into the build. Genie AI only handed the build a written change list, so what got built could drift from the mock-up you saw and approved. The image itself now joins the build the same way an uploaded attachment does. See Genie AI can show you a design mock-up.
  • Every choice card can now take a typed answer, not just a pick from its options. The single-choice list card had no way out if none of its options matched what you meant, other than canceling; it now has the same free-text field the checklist card already offered. See Interactive answers.
  • Fixed workspace chat conversations that had used web search sometimes getting permanently stuck after a reload, with an error blocking every later turn in that conversation.
Weekly release
This update lets Genie AI search the web when your workspace and its own knowledge can’t answer, and fixes workspace chat losing its place after a dropped connection.

New features

  • Genie AI can now search the web. When a question isn’t answered by Genie’s own knowledge or your workspace — a third-party API’s current behavior, a competitor, a price Genie can’t otherwise know — it now runs a live web search or reads a specific page for you, instead of guessing. See Genie AI can search the web.

Fixes

  • Fixed workspace chat occasionally showing “Something went wrong” and losing your place after a dropped connection, a backgrounded tab, or a failed send — even though your message had been received and Genie’s answer was already on its way. Workspace chat now rides out a brief network blip and rejoins the conversation instead of ending the turn.
Weekly release
This update fixes Project Settings’ workspace switcher and adds a way back for projects that ended up with no workspace at all.

Fixes

  • Fixed switching a project’s workspace from Project Settings just navigating you to the other workspace instead of actually moving the project there. See Workspace.
  • Fixed a project with no workspace at all having no way back. Project Settings’ General tab now shows “Not in a workspace” with an Add to workspace button for these.
Weekly release
This update lets Genie AI draft a design concept for a brand-new app before it’s even created and mock up several pages at once, and fixes a status indicator that could cover an important alert and a build confirmation that could go out unexplained.

Updates

  • Genie AI now drafts a design concept before creating a brand-new project. Ask it to build something new and Genie AI sketches the key screens first — no existing app needed — lets you react, and carries the direction you approve straight into the very first build. See Genie AI can show you a design mock-up.
  • Genie AI can now mock up to five pages of a design change at once, instead of one at a time.

Fixes

  • Fixed Genie’s next-build suggestion sometimes covering the “Genie noticed something in your app” alert and blocking its Fix with Genie AI button underneath. The alert now always takes priority — the suggestion reappears the moment you resolve it.
  • Fixed Genie AI occasionally asking you to confirm a build without first saying what it understood you wanted. A plain line naming the change and which project it goes to now always appears before the confirmation card.
Weekly release
This update fixes two cases where you’d see the wrong thing about your own project: a “report is ready” card that claimed the report was missing, and workspace owners occasionally shut out of their own knowledge base.

Fixes

  • Fixed Genie AI’s “Genie’s report is ready” card sometimes saying underneath it that no report was saved, for a turn that only investigated and answered a question — even though the answer was sitting right there, readable, in your project chat.
  • Fixed workspace owners occasionally being unable to view or manage their own project’s knowledge base documents. See Knowledge base.
Weekly release
This update lets Genie AI theme your app with two colors instead of one, and fixes a bug that was signing people out of Genie unexpectedly.

New features

  • Genie AI can now theme your app with two colors instead of one — a primary action color plus a separate dark color for navbars, headers, sidebars, and other dark surfaces — so a request like “yellow buttons and a navy navbar” comes out looking the way you described, in one step. See Genie AI can theme your app with two colors.

Updates

  • The mobile chat composer has bigger, better-spaced touch controls — larger buttons for attachments, voice, and send/stop, sized and placed for a thumb instead of reusing the desktop layout at a smaller scale.
  • Genie MCP Server: drafting a design mock-up before a build is now the default here too, for external MCP clients — matching the in-app chat behavior from August 21. See Genie MCP Server.

Fixes

  • Fixed being signed out of Genie unexpectedly during an active session. A bug in how your session was kept alive meant it could stop refreshing after login, so it could expire well before it should have. Two dead login links (in account add-ons and the credit top-up page) were fixed at the same time.
  • Fixed Genie AI’s color updates sometimes silently not taking effect, or applying a different color than the one you asked for, on apps with more complex existing styling.
  • Fixed a rare case where a Genie Cloud database query joining several related tables could fail to run instead of returning results.
Weekly release
This update makes drafting a design mock-up Genie AI’s default first move on any visual change, not just when you ask to see a direction first, and fixes Genie AI’s status card misreporting a turn that only answered a question as a finished build.

Updates

  • Genie AI now drafts a design mock-up by default before building any visual change — including a plain request like “make the header blue” or “add a pricing page”, not only when you explicitly ask to see a direction first. Reviewing a picture is fast and free to redo; a build is your credits, so Genie now agrees on the look with you before spending them. Say “just build it” to skip straight to the change. See Genie AI can show you a design mock-up.

Fixes

  • Fixed Genie AI’s status card claiming “Your new version is ready” — complete with a feature count — for a turn that only answered a question and built nothing. Genie AI sometimes investigates and replies in writing instead of changing your app; that kind of turn now renders as a report, saying plainly that nothing was built, with a one-tap Read the report to see the full answer right there in chat.
Weekly release
This update adds a workspace and project knowledge base Genie AI builds with, extends it to external MCP clients, and fixes a rare bug that could erase your chat history.

New features

  • Teams can now file the material Genie AI should build with — brand guidelines, tone of voice, an API schema, a data dictionary — as knowledge documents, scoped to the whole workspace or to a single project. Genie AI automatically checks the knowledge base that applies before building or updating a project. See Knowledge base.

Updates

  • Genie MCP Server: knowledge documents are now available to external clients. list_workspace_documents, search_workspace_documents, read_workspace_document, add_workspace_documents, update_workspace_document, and delete_workspace_document let an external AI client manage the same knowledge base. See Genie MCP Server.
  • The “Genie noticed something in your app” alert now says so when a failure looks like a one-off network hiccup — a common cause behind a plain “failed to fetch” — for as long as that’s still the most likely explanation. See Genie tells you when it notices something wrong.
  • The stop button in Genie AI chat now starts disarmed for a few seconds after you send a message, so a stray extra tap right after sending can no longer abort the turn you just asked for.

Fixes

  • Fixed a rare case where a failed attempt to summarize a long conversation could erase its history instead of leaving it intact.
Weekly release
This update catches up two knowledge base fixes from August 19 that were missed in the original pass.

Fixes

  • Fixed a workspace admin’s “Applies to” dropdown in Knowledge base sometimes opening blank instead of listing every project they administer — including the project the admin was standing in when they opened it. Filing a document into a project is now also checked against the workspace it’s filed under, so a project from the wrong workspace can no longer be picked. See Knowledge base.
  • Fixed Genie AI saying it couldn’t help with the knowledge base in a workspace that had no documents filed yet. It now recognizes the feature from the start and can add the first one.
Weekly release
This update puts Genie’s next-step suggestion right above your message box when a build finishes, has Genie AI check with you before guessing at an ambiguous request, adds Excel spreadsheet attachments, and exposes project memory to external MCP clients.

New features

  • Genie’s suggestion for what to build next now appears right above your message box the moment a build finishes, instead of only at the bottom of a build card you’ve likely already scrolled past. Tap it to see the ideas as a checklist, tick the ones you want, and Apply puts a ready-to-send prompt in your message box without sending it. See Genie suggests what to build next.
  • Genie AI now checks with you before guessing at an ambiguous request — like which project you mean, or whether “add” means something new or a replacement — instead of building the wrong thing. It also now recognizes when you’re asking for the same thing again, however differently worded, and stops to check what happened last time rather than repeating the same attempt. See Genie checks before guessing.
  • You can now attach Excel spreadsheets (.xlsx) to a Genie AI chat message, alongside the existing plain text, Markdown, CSV, JSON, and Word documents — Genie reads the sheet contents as a table. See Attachments carry into your build.

Updates

  • Genie MCP Server: project memory is now available to external clients. save_project_memory, search_project_memory, and forget_project_memory let an external AI client read and write the same shared project notes Genie AI keeps in the workspace chat. See Genie MCP Server.

Fixes

  • Fixed Genie AI’s code-grounded answers occasionally falling back to describing a symbol by name only, instead of reading the real code, for projects reachable by a custom URL slug.
Weekly release
This update gives Genie AI a shared per-project memory, lets design mock-ups start from an image you just uploaded, and fixes several chat, voice, and preview reliability issues.

New features

  • Genie AI now remembers your project, not just you. Tell it a standing rule — “every screen must work on mobile” — or a confirmed detail about a service you’re integrating, and Genie keeps a shared note the whole team can see, updating it in place the next time you restate it instead of piling up a duplicate. See Genie remembers your project.

Updates

  • Design mock-ups can now start from a screenshot you just uploaded in chat, not only from Genie’s own capture of your running app — handy for asking Genie to redesign a picture you sent it directly.
  • The queued-prompt card in Genie AI chat now follows its own prompt. It used to freeze on its original “queued” text for the whole build; it now hands off to the same live status card an un-queued prompt gets, the moment your turn starts running.
  • The workspace dashboard’s greeting is friendlier late at night and varies from day to day, instead of a fixed “Good night” after 10pm and the same line every time.

Fixes

  • Fixed Genie AI’s replies sometimes flickering — a blur-in animation replaying across text that had already fully appeared, partway through a longer answer.
  • Fixed dictating a message able to send half a sentence early. Send and Enter stayed active while your words were still streaming into the composer, so pressing either mid-dictation could submit a fragment and leave the rest typed into an empty box.
  • Fixed the preview’s refresh button reloading your app’s homepage instead of the page you were actually on.
  • Fixed a design mock-up round that reused an earlier image from the chat sometimes failing, and an error message that could include an internal file path.
Weekly release
This update removes a redundant button Genie AI chat sometimes showed right after confirming a build.

Fixes

  • Fixed Genie AI chat offering a redundant “Check status” button right after you confirmed a new project or follow-up prompt. The turn already renders a live status card with phase, ETA, and tasks that keeps updating on its own — the extra button asked you to check something you were already looking at. It no longer appears.
Weekly release
This update fixes two chat reliability issues on mobile and with pasted screenshots, and adds a run id to two Genie MCP Server tools.

Updates

  • Genie MCP Server: create_project and send_followup_prompt now return a run id. Pass it to get_project_build_status to poll the exact build turn you just started, instead of always getting the project’s newest one — handy if you fire off more than one prompt in a row. See Genie MCP Server.

Fixes

  • Fixed a pasted screenshot in Genie AI chat sometimes showing the wrong image. Screenshots share a generic filename, so pasting a second one into the same conversation could silently replace the picture an earlier message still pointed to. Every pasted image now gets its own storage location.
  • Fixed the mobile chat tool drawer — the sheet that opens for things like the “create project” confirmation — sometimes rendering too short with the on-screen keyboard open on iPhone, squeezing its field and buttons off the bottom edge.
Weekly release
This update fixes Genie AI’s confirmation and question cards clipping when their text ran long.

Fixes

  • Fixed Genie AI’s confirmation and question cards clipping or overflowing when a button label or the card text ran long. Buttons now wrap onto a new line instead of getting cut off, and long card text collapses behind a Show more toggle instead of stretching the card.
Weekly release
This update fixes the workspace dashboard search and command palette freezing on some keystrokes.

Fixes

  • Fixed the workspace dashboard search and the command palette freezing — for seconds, sometimes over a minute — after a single keystroke. It only hit you if one of your recent chats started with a long pasted message; typing now stays instant no matter how long that message was.
Weekly release
This update grounds Genie AI’s answers about your app’s code in the actual code, and smooths out the build progress estimate.

Updates

  • Genie AI answers with the actual code. Ask “how does checkout work in my app?” and Genie AI now reads the real code behind its answer instead of guessing from file and function names — so it describes what your code actually does, not just what its name suggests. See Genie AI can see and debug your project.

Fixes

  • Fixed the build progress bar’s time estimate opening far too low on longer turns, and resetting to a new number partway through. The estimate now prices the whole turn — planning and coding together — from the start, and counts down smoothly through the handoff between them instead of jumping.
Weekly release
This update has Genie tell you what it noticed wrong in your app instead of quietly trying to fix it, makes dismissing a Genie AI card instant, and fixes several chat, build-status, and mobile reliability issues.

New features

  • Genie tells you when it notices something wrong. A calm alert now appears above the Genie AI composer when Genie spots a real problem in your live app — a crash, a thrown error, something logged as broken — with a plain-language explanation instead of a raw error message. One action, Fix with Genie AI, hands it straight into your conversation so Genie can check the actual logs (and ask a question, if it needs one) before proposing a fix. See Genie tells you when it notices something wrong.

Updates

  • Dismissing a Genie AI card is now instant. Cancelling a confirmation or a question no longer makes you wait on a full reply — the card clears right away and tells you plainly what it skipped, instead of a bare “Dismissed.”
  • A couple more sounds in voice mode. Ending a recording or hitting the five-minute cap now plays its own short cue, alongside the existing start chime.

Fixes

  • Fixed two prompts to the same project able to build at the same time, with one silently overwriting the other’s changes. Only one build now runs per project at once; a second confirmed prompt queues and waits its turn instead.
  • Fixed attachments in the Genie AI composer disappearing if a confirmation card interrupted you mid-attach — your images and files now survive the interruption.
  • Fixed sending a photo or PDF with no question attached in a Genie AI conversation, which produced an answer based on Genie’s best guess — the composer now holds the message until you add a short instruction and every attachment has finished uploading.
  • Fixed a build status card’s “pages changed” chips sometimes linking to a page that wouldn’t load. They’re now plain, non-clickable info badges.
  • Fixed a multi-line prompt in the composer being squeezed into a narrow column between the attach and send buttons — a wrapped prompt now uses the full width of the bar.
  • Fixed the workspace dashboard’s autocomplete dropdown covering the whole screen on mobile the moment you started typing — it’s desktop only now, and the tap-to-start suggestion bubbles are back on every phone screen.
  • Fixed AI image generation in your app ignoring the aspect ratio, resolution, and format you requested. These are now applied to the generated image.
Weekly release
This update closes two gaps left by last week’s changes: voice input now works for support admins, and design mock-up iteration no longer breaks after a couple of rounds.

Fixes

  • Fixed voice dictation not working for a site admin helping out in a workspace they aren’t a member of. The microphone would sit there doing nothing — the same access a site admin already has to read and type into that chat now also covers dictating into it.
  • Fixed design mock-up iteration chats that could still fail with an image-size error after a couple of rounds, even on shorter conversations. Each round of a mock-up attaches two images (the screenshot and the repaint), and a chat could cross the provider’s many-image threshold mid-turn without ever hitting the per-conversation limit already fixed last week.
Weekly release
This update lets Genie AI show you a design mock-up of a change before it builds it, mirrors that feature to the Genie MCP Server, and fixes several chat reliability and responsiveness issues.

New features

  • Genie AI can show you a design mock-up before it builds anything. Ask something like “what would this look like with a warmer palette?” and Genie AI screenshots your real app, has an image model repaint it with the change you described, and shows you both pictures — with a clear note that a mock-up is an impression, not a pixel-accurate render. React to what you see and it iterates, or turns an approved direction into a build once you’re ready. See Genie AI can show you a design mock-up.
  • Genie MCP Server: design mock-ups. External AI clients can now generate, list, re-fetch, and iterate on a project’s design mock-ups with five new tools, mirroring the workspace AI feature above — images are returned as native MCP image content. See Genie MCP Server.

Updates

  • Genie’s built-in image generation can now produce logos and wordmarks with real, legible text. Previously every AI-generated image suppressed text entirely, so a logo request came back as vague shapes. Ask for one by name and Genie renders the actual lettering. See Built-in AI, images, and email.
  • Every Genie AI message now shows when it was sent, in your project’s Genie AI tab, the standalone chat page, and the command palette alike.
  • Long Genie AI conversations now load a page at a time instead of pulling in the entire history every time you open one — scroll up and a Load older messages control fetches further back.

Fixes

  • Fixed the project’s build chat and Genie AI tab sometimes loading completely empty on projects with a lot of build history, instead of your actual conversation.
  • Fixed Genie AI confirming a follow-up prompt it then couldn’t actually afford. Sending or queuing a prompt from chat now checks your credit balance upfront, the same way starting a new project already did, instead of failing partway through.
  • Fixed a queued prompt’s countdown that could show a stale time instead of counting down from when the current build actually finishes.
  • Fixed the chat composer staying blocked for a few seconds after Genie AI had already finished answering.
  • Fixed Genie AI occasionally losing track of something said earlier in a long conversation.
  • Fixed a few cases where the Genie AI tab’s transcript could scroll out of view, including one where a tall interactive card’s answer button could be clipped off-screen entirely.
  • Fixed autofix and bug-repair turns sometimes making unrelated changes beyond the actual fix.
Weekly release
This update makes a project’s Genie AI conversation and workspace chats shared with your whole team instead of per-person, adds a badge showing who else has a project open, and lets you inspect any attachment before you send it.

New features

  • A project’s Genie AI conversation is now one shared thread for your whole team. Previously, each teammate who opened a project’s Genie AI panel got their own separate conversation — now everyone lands in the same thread, so nobody has to catch up before they can help. See The Genie AI panel.
  • Workspace chats are shared with your team too. A link to a teammate’s Genie AI conversation now opens for you instead of failing with “not found,” and workspace admins can open, rename, or delete any conversation in the workspace for support. Browsing your own Recent chats is unchanged. See Workspace AI.
  • “Who else is here” — a badge for who’s currently viewing a project. The project’s Genie AI tab now shows who else in your workspace has the project open right now, alongside the existing build-status badge. See The Genie AI panel.
  • Genie MCP Server: see who’s viewing a project, and read/rename/delete any workspace chat. The new list_project_viewers tool mirrors the viewer badge. get_workspace_chat, rename_workspace_chat, and delete_workspace_chat now work on any chat in the connected workspace, not just ones the caller started, matching the shared-chat change above. See Genie MCP Server.

  • Every attachment is inspectable before you send it. Click an image, PDF, or document chip in any Genie composer — the workspace chat, a project’s chat panel, the dashboard, or the command palette — to check exactly what Genie will see: an image opens in a lightbox, an uploaded PDF opens in a new tab, and a document shows the exact text that will be sent and whether it was clipped.
  • Voice input: dictate for up to 5 minutes, and the microphone no longer disappears while you wait. The recording cap goes from 2 minutes to 5, and the microphone now stays available while a response is still streaming in or an earlier conversation is still loading, not just after you’ve started typing. See Talk instead of type.
  • Desktop project pages now match mobile: the raw build chat is admin-only. The project’s own build chat (separate from the Genie AI panel) is a secondary, admin-only view on desktop as well as mobile.

Fixes

  • Fixed a chat that could get permanently stuck after answering one of Genie’s interactive cards, where the card’s answer was silently dropped and every later turn failed.
  • Fixed workspace chats with many image attachments failing on every turn once a long conversation crossed 20 images.
  • Fixed voice dictation lagging badly on the workspace dashboard, sometimes badly enough for the browser to offer to close the tab.
Weekly release
This update lets Genie AI queue a prompt instead of hitting a dead end when a project is already busy, adds a live status badge so you can always tell what your connected projects are doing right now, reworks voice input to stream as you talk, and fixes several build and chat reliability issues.

New features

  • Genie AI now queues a busy project’s prompt instead of a dead end. Ask the workspace AI to update a project that’s already building and it lines your prompt up instead of asking you to try again — it sends automatically, one prompt at a time, a short cooldown after the current build finishes. The confirmation card tells you upfront whether your prompt starts a build right now or joins the queue, and roughly when it will go out. See Workspace AI.
  • “Is it still building?” — one status badge, everywhere you talk to Genie AI. A badge now appears on every surface where you chat with Genie AI — the in-project Genie AI tab, the standalone chat page, and the command palette — showing whether a connected project is currently building, running an automatic fix, or has prompts waiting in its queue. Nothing shows once it’s idle. See Workspace AI.
  • Genie MCP Server: manage a project’s prompt queue, and check what’s happening right now. External AI clients can list, pause, resume, reorder, remove, or clear a project’s queued prompts, and adjust the delay between sends, with eight new tools. A new list_connected_project_activity tool mirrors the same “what’s happening right now” status the badge shows. See Genie MCP Server.

Updates

  • Voice input got faster and more accurate. Your words now appear in the composer as you speak, instead of arriving all at once when you stop, dictation recognizes Genie- and product-specific terms like “Genie Cloud” and “MCP” instead of mishearing them, and the microphone no longer disappears the moment you start typing — dictate a correction or addition onto a draft without clearing the box first. Voice input is also now available on the workspace dashboard’s prompt, not just in chat. See Talk instead of type.
  • Minimize a card asking for your input, instead of losing it. When Genie AI needs an answer before it can continue — confirming an action, or reviewing a project it’s about to create — you can now minimize that card and keep chatting or come back to it later, instead of having to answer immediately or cancel it outright. See Interactive answers.
  • Genie AI describes exactly what it’s doing, tool by tool. While it works, the chat’s activity line now names the specific thing Genie AI is doing, instead of a generic “Working” status for most of what happens behind the scenes.
  • Mobile project pages are now built around the Genie AI tab. On mobile, Genie AI is the primary way to work on a project; the project’s own build chat is now a secondary, admin-only view. See The Genie AI panel.

Fixes

  • Fixed deleting a project that could fail for projects with substantial build or database history.
  • Fixed a crash in Genie AI chat right after it finished creating a new project.
  • Fixed a rare case where a chat conversation could get permanently stuck failing on every turn.
  • Fixed a build-progress card that could keep spinning after the build had actually finished.
  • Fixed a color- or theme-only request that could sometimes apply no changes at all.
  • Genie AI’s “open external link?” warning no longer appears for your own project’s preview links.
Weekly release
This update lets Genie AI see your project’s screenshots and search its live console logs, carries chat attachments into the builds you ask for, and simplifies each project down to one ongoing Genie AI conversation.

New features

  • Genie AI can see and debug your project. Ask “does this look right?” or “why did my app just throw an error?” and Genie AI can check for itself — pulling up your project’s live screenshots (the deployed app’s default view, or exactly what you had on screen) and searching its live console output, errors, and crashes. See Workspace AI.
  • Genie MCP Server: screenshots, console-log search, and chat connections. External AI clients connected via the Genie MCP Server can now fetch a project’s screenshots (get_project_screenshots), search its live console logs (search_project_console_logs), and read or set which workspace chat is a project’s main conversation (get_project_chat_connection, list_projects_sharing_chat, connect_project_chat). See Genie MCP Server.

Updates

  • Chat attachments now carry into the build you ask for. Attach an image or PDF to your message when asking Genie AI to create or update a project — a mockup, a reference photo — and the file itself goes into that build, not just a text description of it. See Workspace AI.
  • More file types accepted wherever you attach one. Plain text, Markdown, CSV, JSON, and Word documents are now accepted alongside images and PDFs, from the dashboard, landing page, project chat, and workspace chat alike — and an iPhone HEIC photo is converted automatically so its preview displays correctly.
  • One ongoing Genie AI conversation per project. The Genie AI panel next to your live preview now holds a single conversation for that project instead of switching between several — every hand-off, whether from Continue with Genie AI, an Ask Genie button, or the command palette, continues that same conversation. Browse or start other conversations from the workspace AI instead. See The Genie AI panel.
  • Clearer voice input feedback. A subtle sound now plays when voice mode engages, and the composer shows a live waveform and a running counter while you talk.
Weekly release
This update lets you rate Genie’s chat responses, adds a Genie MCP Server tool for searching your own AI run traces, and corrects an MCP Server tool listing from the last update.

New features

  • Rate Genie’s responses. Give any finished response in your project chat a thumbs-up or thumbs-down, and optionally say why. Change or clear your rating anytime. See Chat history.

Updates

  • Genie MCP Server: search your own AI run traces. The new search_agent_run_traces tool fulltext-searches the execution trace behind your Genie AI conversations — the reasoning, every tool call, and the final answer — not just the visible chat text. Useful for questions like “why did that fail earlier” or “which turn called the deploy tool.” See Genie MCP Server.

Fixes

  • Corrected a Genie MCP Server tool listing. The last update incorrectly documented list_project_cloud_migrations as a Genie MCP Server tool. It’s actually only available through the Genie workspace AI in chat, not to external MCP clients, and has been removed from the Genie MCP Server reference. Ask the workspace AI directly to review a project’s migration history instead.
Weekly release
This update lets the Genie MCP Server list a project’s database migration history, and fixes several build-reliability issues along with a dark-mode contrast bug on the account profile page.

New features

  • Genie MCP Server: list a project’s database migration history. The new list_project_cloud_migrations tool returns every tracked Genie Cloud database migration for a project, newest first — the deployment it shipped with, how many changes it holds, how many of those a rollback could undo, and its status. It also surfaces changes already applied to the database but not yet shipped with a deployment. See Genie MCP Server.

Fixes

  • Fixed builds that could fail entirely, or stall without making progress, when a single step ran into trouble. Genie now repairs just the blocked step instead of discarding the whole turn’s work.
  • Genie AI no longer occasionally refuses to start or continue a build, replying that it doesn’t have a tool for that.
  • Fixed a rare case where a generated page’s interactive components could freeze the browser.
  • Fixed dark-mode contrast on the account profile page. Cards, hero banners, and status badges no longer wash out in dark mode.
Weekly release
This update adds a richer live build-status tool to the Genie MCP Server and fixes the Genie AI tab failing right after you resolved a tool card.

Updates

  • Genie MCP Server: one-call live build status. The new get_project_build_status tool returns the same live status the web app’s build card shows — phase, countdown ETA, progress, how many agents are working in parallel, the preview link, changed pages, and the closing summary — in a single call. See Genie MCP Server.

Fixes

  • Fixed the Genie AI tab failing on the turn right after you resolved a tool card. Reopening a chat, switching to the Genie AI tab, or resuming the last conversation from the command palette could carry the tool result over incorrectly, causing the very next turn to error out instead of continuing.
Weekly release
This update adds built-in embeddings for retrieval and semantic search, gives the workspace AI’s build-status card a live ETA and progress view, and fixes several build-progress and credit-display glitches.

New features

  • Genie Cloud apps can now generate embeddings for retrieval and semantic search. Ask for something like “let users search our FAQ by meaning” or “answer questions using our uploaded documents”, and Genie wires up both ingestion and search using a built-in embeddings credential — no separate OpenAI key required. See Retrieval (RAG) with embeddings.

Updates

  • The workspace AI’s live build-status card now shows a counting-down ETA, progress, and how many parallel agents are working — the same detail you’d see on the project’s own build view. See Workspace AI.
  • Sending a follow-up prompt from inside that project’s own chat now starts the build automatically once you confirm, instead of requiring you to press send again.
  • The public status page now also monitors Genie’s built-in AI API (text and image generation), alongside the core build pipeline it already tracked.

Fixes

  • Build progress bars and ETAs now update smoothly and count down accurately, instead of freezing between updates or occasionally counting upward.
  • Fixed a build/commit card that could look stuck loading even after its deployment had already finished.
  • Credit numbers you see now consistently match what was actually billed. The per-message credit indicator and your transaction history no longer show a stale or inflated number.
  • Opening an existing project now uses the same smooth branded loading animation as creating a new one, instead of a plain spinner.
Weekly release
This update lets Genie AI search a project’s entire chat history instead of just the most recent messages.

Updates

  • Genie AI can now search a project’s entire chat history. Asking Genie AI to find something discussed earlier — inside a project’s Genie panel, the workspace chat, or via the Genie MCP Server’s get_project_messages tool — used to only search a bounded window of recent messages, so older answers in long-running projects could be missed. Search now runs against the full conversation every time.
Weekly release
This update lets PDF and document AI Q&A ship in your very first prompt, and fixes long-running AI requests that could silently drop instead of returning an error.

Updates

  • PDF and document AI Q&A can now ship in your very first prompt. If your opening prompt describes an app that reads an uploaded PDF or document — answering questions about a contract, summarizing a report — Genie now wires the feature in directly from the browser on the first build, the same way it already does for AI images. No Genie Cloud, login, or backend needed yet. See Built-in AI, images, and email.

Fixes

  • Long-running built-in AI requests no longer fail silently. Calls that took longer than usual to answer (for example, more involved reasoning requests) could previously drop without any response. These now return a clear error instead of hanging indefinitely.
Weekly release
This update has Genie ask a couple of quick clarifying questions before an ambitious build, makes sure Genie AI always replies in your language, and lets your app’s built-in AI read images and PDFs.

New features

  • Genie can now build features that read images and PDFs. Ask Genie for something like “describe what’s in this photo” or “answer questions about this uploaded PDF” and it wires the request through the built-in AI credential your Genie Cloud app already has — no separate vision or document-parsing service needed. See Built-in AI, images, and email.

Updates

  • Genie asks before it builds. For a broad or ambitious idea, the workspace AI now asks a couple of quick clarifying questions — batched into one short card exchange — before it starts building, instead of guessing at what you meant. A clear, specific ask still starts building right away. See Workspace AI.
  • Genie AI always replies in your language. Genie AI now reliably answers in whichever language you write to it in, independent of your account’s interface language, and keeps writing in that language for the rest of the conversation. See Workspace AI.
  • Genie MCP Server: sort credit usage by spend or date. The get_credit_usage tool now takes a sort parameter (credits_desc, credits_asc, date_desc, date_asc) to order the breakdown. See Genie MCP Server.
Weekly release
This update lets AI image features ship in your very first prompt, makes live-app AI usage count against your credits with a new per-project usage view, and fixes several chat and build-language issues.

Updates

  • AI image generation and editing can now ship in your very first build. If your opening prompt describes an app built around AI images — generating artwork, editing a photo, analyzing something you upload — Genie now wires the feature in directly from the browser on the first build, instead of deferring it to a follow-up prompt. See Built-in AI, images, and email.
  • Your live app’s AI usage now counts against your credits, with a new usage view. When your published app calls Genie’s built-in AI text, image, video, or audio generation through Genie Cloud, that usage is now billed to your credit balance, the same way project chat is. Track it under Project Settings → Usage — a day-by-day breakdown with a 7/30/90-day range toggle — or in your account transaction history. See Usage and limits.

Fixes

  • Long messages no longer flicker when collapsing. Sending or viewing a long message in project chat could briefly flash between its expanded and collapsed state. It now collapses smoothly.
  • Smoother mobile chat tool drawer. The tool drawer that slides up during mobile chat now sits flush with the bottom of the screen and scrolls cleanly, without stray gaps or a floating footer.
  • Build summaries now reliably match the language you write in. Writing your prompt in German (or another supported language) could sometimes still get an English build summary back. Genie now consistently replies in your prompt’s language.
Weekly release
This update brings live build-status tracking to new projects created from chat, and fixes a few build and chat reliability issues.

Updates

  • Watch a brand-new project build live from chat. Ask the workspace AI to create a new project with an opening prompt — “create a customer support ticketing tool with a Kanban board” — and you now watch it build live in the same status card used for follow-up prompts (queued → building → complete), instead of seeing a static “created” message. See Workspace AI.

Fixes

  • Reopening a Genie AI conversation no longer risks an error. Coming back to a conversation shortly after starting a build, or right after clicking a link inside one of its interactive cards, could sometimes show an error or leave the chat unresponsive. Reopening now always picks the conversation back up cleanly.
  • A brand-new project’s very first build no longer fails outright in rare cases. An unusual pause partway through building could previously get the whole build marked as failed immediately; Genie now gives it another try before giving up.
  • Fixed a blank area with certain chart components. Building an app that used some third-party chart libraries, like recharts, could leave a blank area instead of a working chart. Affected components are now caught and handled correctly.
Weekly release
This update disables rollback for projects running on Genie Cloud, since restoring an earlier version can’t undo changes already made to your live database, edge functions, or storage.

Updates

  • Rollback is now unavailable while Genie Cloud is active. Restoring a previous version only replaces your app’s frontend code — it doesn’t touch the database, edge functions, or storage buckets your live Genie Cloud backend has since moved on to. To avoid leaving the two out of sync, Rollback to this state now stays disabled, with a tooltip explaining why, for the whole time Genie Cloud is active on a project. See Rolling back to a previous version and Rollback and Genie Cloud.
Weekly release
This update adds a chat switcher to the in-project Genie AI panel, personalizes first builds with your name, lets external MCP clients read Genie’s design direction, and pauses the Remix feature while it’s reworked.

Updates

  • Switch between Genie AI conversations without leaving your project. The Genie AI panel next to your live preview now has a chat switcher, so you can jump to a recent conversation instead of losing it to start another. To begin a new one, just start typing in the composer — there’s no separate “New chat” button anymore. See The Genie AI panel.
  • First builds use your real name where a site would. When your first prompt implies a personal site — a portfolio, an author byline, a dashboard greeting — Genie now fills in your account name instead of generic placeholder copy. Guests and signed-out visitors still get neutral placeholder text.
  • Genie MCP Server: read Genie’s design direction. External AI clients connected via the Genie MCP Server can now call get_design_principles to see the look-and-feel guidance Genie’s build agent follows, so a design brief you write for create_project or send_followup_prompt stays consistent with how Genie actually builds.
  • Remix is temporarily unavailable. The Remix button, “Remix from here,” and the Remixable toggle in project settings are paused site-wide while we rework the feature. No remix settings or history are lost in the meantime. See Remixable projects.
Weekly release
This update gives the build progress card a clearer status while Genie writes its closing summary.

Updates

  • Clearer status while Genie wraps up a build. After all files are written, the build progress card used to show a generic “Finishing things up…” status even while Genie was still composing the build’s closing summary. It now reads “Writing your summary…” during that window, matching the summary panel itself. See Watching a build in progress.
Weekly release
This update makes the workspace AI steer new and follow-up prompts toward the kind of app Genie builds reliably, and is upfront about when that needs a paid plan.

Updates

  • Guided toward what Genie builds well. When you ask the workspace AI to create a project or shape a prompt, it now nudges you toward Genie’s proven, cloud-backed approach and offers the closest thing it can actually ship if your original ask isn’t a good fit — for example, suggesting AI photo editing instead of real-time video effects. If the suggested approach needs a paid plan, Genie says so upfront and offers to upgrade; if you’re already on a paid plan, it skips the cost reminder. See Workspace AI.
Weekly release
This update adds a public status page for checking Genie’s health, puts a floating refresh prompt right over the live preview when a build finishes, and catches the Genie MCP Server docs up with a status-check tool.

New features

  • Check Genie’s status anytime. A public status page shows whether Genie is currently operational, degraded, or down, with live uptime for each core system and any active incident notices — backed by real, hourly end-to-end health checks rather than a simple ping. No sign-in required.

Updates

  • A refresh prompt floats right over the live preview. When a build finishes, a small See current version button now appears over the live preview itself — and on its loading placeholder too — so you can pull in the fresh result without looking for a button elsewhere. It disappears on its own once the preview is current, and reappears for your next build. See Refreshing the preview.
  • Genie MCP Server: status now documented. External AI clients connected via the Genie MCP Server can now check Genie’s status with get_status_page — the same read the public status page uses — without spending a chat turn.
Weekly release
This update lets you dictate a prompt instead of typing it, and catches up the Genie MCP Server docs with three tools that shipped alongside last week’s memory and bug-solution features.

New features

  • Talk instead of type. Tap the microphone icon in any Genie chat composer — workspace chat, a project’s chat panel, or the command palette’s Ask Genie — to dictate your message instead of typing it. Tap again to stop, or it stops on its own after two minutes; Genie fills the composer with the transcript so you can review or edit before sending. See Workspace AI.

Updates

  • Genie MCP Server: bug-solution search and user-memory tools now documented. External AI clients connected via the Genie MCP Server can already search the shared bug-knowledge base for a proven fix (find_bug_solutions) and search or delete what Genie remembers about the connected user (search_user_memory, forget_user_memory) — these shipped alongside last week’s memory and bug-solution features but were missing from the reference page until now.
Weekly release
This update lets you ask Genie AI what it remembers about you (and have it forget things on request), gives the workspace AI access to known bug fixes when you describe a problem, and fixes a rare case where a failed reply could keep retrying in a loop.

New features

  • Ask Genie AI what it remembers — or to forget something. Genie already picks up context about you as you chat. Now you can ask directly — “what do you remember about me?” — and it searches everything it’s picked up, not just the most recent items. If something’s wrong, ask it to forget and the memory is deleted. See Workspace AI.
  • Workspace AI can check for a known fix. Describe a bug you’re running into and the workspace AI checks whether the same issue has already been solved on another project, surfacing a fix that’s known to work instead of guessing. See Workspace AI.

Fixes

  • Fixed a rare case where a failed AI reply could keep retrying in a loop. A specific kind of build failure could cause Genie to silently retry the same failed turn over and over. It now stops after two attempts and shows a clear error instead.
Weekly release
This update makes Genie’s chat answers more interactive, adds a live status card when Genie AI updates a project for you, and makes the “Continue with Genie AI” hand-off carry over the full conversation.

New features

  • Interactive answers in chat. When Genie AI offers you a choice, it now renders a clickable card — a confirm button, a single-pick list, or a checklist with your own note — instead of a paragraph you have to answer in your own words. See Interactive answers.
  • Live build status from Genie AI. Ask the workspace AI to update an existing project and a status card tracks the build right in the chat (Sent → Building → Live), with a link to open the project once it’s ready. See Workspace AI.

Updates

  • “Continue with Genie AI” now marks itself as used. After you hand a chat-mode answer off to the full Genie AI panel, the button switches to a Continued state so you can tell at a glance you’ve already done it — and the full exchange, including any cards you answered, carries over so Genie AI has complete context. See Chat mode.
Weekly release
This update makes the project chat recognize questions automatically, tidies up the post-build summary, and fixes a couple of live-preview rough edges.

New features

  • Project chat now answers questions automatically. Ask something like “what does this component do?” or “how would I add authentication?” and Genie recognizes it’s a question rather than a build request, and answers right in the chat — nothing to toggle. If the answer leads somewhere bigger, a Continue with Genie AI button carries the exchange into the full Genie AI panel. See Chat mode.

Updates

  • Build summaries collapse to a short preview. After a build finishes, the “What I built” and “Not built yet” summaries now show as a compact preview with a Show more toggle, so any to-do suggestions or Genie’s next-step recommendation stay visible right underneath instead of being pushed down the page. See Watching a build in progress.

Fixes

  • Friendlier labels when picking elements in the live preview. Selecting an element while editing text or images no longer shows a raw CSS selector — it shows a plain description like “Button selected” or “Image selected” instead.
  • Fixed a stuck “Genie is busy” message and a duplicate success sound that could occasionally appear after a quick batch text edit in the live preview.
Weekly release
This update adds AI image generation and editing, and documents a credit check on creating new projects.

New features

  • Generate and edit images out of the box. Alongside AI text and email, every project with Genie Cloud enabled now also comes with a working image-generation credential — no separate Replicate account required. Ask Genie for things like “generate a hero image of a sunset over mountains” or “change the background of this photo to a beach” and it’s built in instantly. See Built-in AI, images, and email.

Updates

  • Credit check on creating a new project. Starting a new project — from the dashboard, the Genie launcher, or the landing page — now requires an available balance of more than 1 credit. If your balance is too low, you’ll see a clear dialog with your balance and a link to plans instead of a build that starts but can’t be paid for. See Creating a project.
Weekly release
This update adds the account menu to the project chat sidebar and fixes a loading indicator that could linger after a turn was already finished.

Updates

  • Profile button in the project chat sidebar. The account menu — profile, settings, subscription, and sign out — now also appears at the bottom of the project chat sidebar, pinned under Search, matching the workspace home sidebar. See Account profile for what’s in the menu.

Fixes

  • Chat no longer looks stuck after a turn finishes. Once Genie finished building or replying, the chat could briefly keep showing a “Saving” step and kept checking for updates even though your turn had already completed. It now settles the instant the turn is done.
Weekly release
This update documents new Genie MCP Server tools for bug tracking, and fixes a confusing preview error notice.

Updates

  • Genie MCP Server: bug tracking now documented. Genie de-duplicates bugs across your projects, reusing a fix that already worked instead of re-investigating from scratch. External AI clients connected via the Genie MCP Server can now read a project’s tracked bug sightings and file new ones with get_known_issues and report_known_issue.

Fixes

  • Clearer preview health-check errors. If Genie can’t confirm your live preview is reachable right after a deploy, you’ll now see a clear, translated notice instead of a raw, German-only error message. The check also no longer fires a false alarm on your very first prompt, when a fresh deployment can briefly take a few seconds to become reachable.
Weekly release
This update documents two account pages that were live but missing from the docs, catches up the Brain tab description, and corrects an error in the top-up credits documentation.

Updates

  • Account profile page documented. The account profile page — where you edit your display name, contact email, and avatar, review your credit batches, and manage or delete your account — was live but undocumented until now. It’s separate from account settings, which only covers dark mode and notifications.
  • Push notifications documented. Account settings now covers enabling push notifications per device, viewing your enabled devices, and sending a test notification.
  • Brain tab description updated. Project settings now describes the Brain tab accurately: alongside the code structure view, it also shows your project’s feature/goal tree, code insights, and ranked “what’s next” prompt suggestions when available.

Fixes

  • Corrected top-up credit expiry. The top-ups page previously and incorrectly stated that top-up credits never expire. Top-up credits actually expire one year after purchase, same as already stated on the credits page — the top-ups page has been corrected to match.
Weekly release
This update catches the Genie MCP Server docs up with more tools that were already live but undocumented.

Updates

  • Genie MCP Server: feature tree, storage, database, and rollback tools now documented. External AI clients connected via the Genie MCP Server can already read and maintain a project’s feature tree, browse and manage its Genie Cloud storage files, browse its database tables, list its deployed edge functions, roll it back to a previous version, and read or update its SEO title and description. See Genie MCP Server for the complete, corrected reference.
Weekly release
This update is a reliability fix for small follow-up edits.

Updates

  • Small follow-up prompts no longer stall or misreport as failed. Quick follow-up edits could, in rare cases, appear stuck for several minutes or show as failed in the progress card even though the change had actually finished successfully (or was still genuinely running). Both cases are now detected and reported accurately.
Weekly release
This update covers a new build-progress feature and a round of reliability fixes.

Updates

  • Click a build step for details. While Genie is building or updating your app, you can click any step in the progress card to see exactly what happened — what changed, why a step failed, and an Ask Genie to fix this button that retries with the failure reason pre-filled. Steps that never actually ran are now clearly shown as Skipped instead of a false success. See Managing your projects.
  • More reliable first builds. Genie now double-checks that everything it just created is actually connected to your app — routed pages, imported styles — before finishing a build, so it can no longer complete while leaving part of your app unreachable.
  • iOS Safari fixes for workspace chat. Fixed a white strip appearing under the on-screen keyboard, the composer shifting out of view, and the “create project” card not opening in the mobile drawer on iPhone.
Weekly release
This update documents a project settings tab that was missing from the docs.

Updates

  • Brain tab documented. Project settings now lists the Brain tab — a read-only view of your project’s code structure and build history, available to the project owner and workspace members.
Weekly release
This update publishes an English version of the customer compliance package — it previously only existed in German, even though it’s meant to be handed to any customer’s procurement or DPO on request.

Updates

  • Compliance package now available in English. The customer compliance package — legal entity info, the DPA template, architecture and data flows, subprocessors, data categories and legal bases, technical and organizational measures (TOMs), the deletion concept, and how we fulfill data subject rights — is now published in English alongside the existing German version. The three standalone annexes (subprocessors, TOMs, and the AI Data Processing Addendum) are published in English too.
Weekly release
This update documents how project deletion actually works — the underlying feature has been live for a while, but the docs never explained it.

Updates

  • Deleting a project, explained. Project settings now documents the difference between archiving a project (reversible, hides it from your dashboard) and deleting it permanently (requires typing the project’s slug to confirm, then a cancellable 7-day grace period before anything is actually destroyed). You can also ask Genie in workspace chat to delete a project or cancel a pending deletion.
Weekly release
This update catches the Genie MCP Server docs up with tools that were already live but undocumented.

Updates

  • Genie MCP Server: the full tool catalog is now documented. External AI clients connected via the Genie MCP Server can already do far more than the docs covered — rename/move projects between personal and workspace, check or cancel a scheduled deletion, control Auto mode, ask natural-language questions about a project’s code, manage a connected Genie Cloud backend’s end-user roles and sign-in providers, manage a project’s secrets, and look up current Genie pricing. See Genie MCP Server for the complete, corrected reference.
Weekly release
This update catches the docs up with a few features that shipped recently: Teams plans are live, you can roll a project back to any earlier version, and shared projects now show who’s editing.

Updates

  • Teams plans are here. Teams is a live, seat-based plan: pay a flat workspace fee plus a per-seat fee for each teammate, and every seat gets the full credit allowance for your chosen tier. Manage seats anytime from your workspace’s Billing settings. See Plans.
  • Roll back to any earlier version. Every deployed change is saved as a version. Open an earlier turn’s card and click Rollback to this state to restore your live app to exactly how it looked then. See Managing your projects.
  • Browser AI agents can work your project directly. On browsers with a built-in AI assistant, like Gemini in Chrome or Copilot in Edge, that assistant can send prompts to your open Genie project and check on progress. See Managing your projects.
  • See who’s editing a shared project. When a teammate is actively working in a workspace project, you now see a clear banner showing who holds it. See Members and roles.
  • Ask the workspace AI about pricing. Ask Genie things like “How much does Genie Pro cost?” or “What’s the price of a 750-credit top-up?” and get an answer with current numbers.
Weekly release
This release brings Auto mode for hands-free builds, scheduled jobs for Genie Cloud, and a set of reliability improvements.

New features

  • Auto mode. Turn on Auto mode from the prompt input and Genie keeps applying its own suggested next steps automatically, round after round, until it hits a limit, runs low on credits, or you turn it off — and it keeps going even if you close the tab. You get a notification the moment it stops. See Auto mode.
  • Scheduled jobs for Genie Cloud. Ask Genie to run any deployed edge function on a recurring timer — “run my crawler every night at 2am Berlin time” — and it sets up the schedule, no cron syntax required. List, reschedule, test, or remove a schedule any time by asking Genie in plain language. See Scheduled jobs.

Updates

  • Genie MCP Server: manage scheduled jobs remotely. External AI clients connected via the Genie MCP Server can now list, create, update, test, and remove a project’s scheduled jobs. See Genie MCP Server.
  • More reliable custom user roles. When Genie builds an app with multiple access levels (admin, member, and custom roles like “contractor” or “client”), role names are now applied consistently, and the build summary and your to-do list clearly name each role so you know exactly who to assign where.
Weekly release
This release brings direct text editing in the live preview and a smarter prompt experience while Genie is busy.

Updates

  • Edit text directly in the preview. Click the edit icon in the prompt toolbar to enter edit mode, then click on any text element in the live preview to select it. Select one or more items, update the text in the edit card, and click Apply edits. Simple text replacements — headings, labels, button copy — apply instantly without an AI generation and use no credits. See Managing your projects.
  • Open Genie AI while Genie is busy. If you type a message while a build is running, a hint bubble appears above the prompt input. Clicking Open Genie AI sends your draft to the workspace AI chat, which answers questions independently of the running build — so you are never stuck waiting.
Weekly release
This week brings credit rollover on paid plans, image and video uploads to your projects from chat, Genie Cloud access management from the workspace AI, and a more fluid mobile experience.

Updates

  • Credits roll over on paid plans. Unused monthly credits on all paid Genie plans — Genie, Genie Plus, Genie Pro, and Genie Ultra — now carry forward into the next billing cycle instead of expiring at renewal. See Credits.
  • Genie remembers your preferences. The workspace AI now stores things you mention about yourself — your industry, your team, the kinds of apps you build — and brings that context into future conversations automatically, without you having to repeat yourself.
  • Upload images and videos to your project from workspace chat. Open the command palette (⌘K / Ctrl+K) and choose Upload images & videos, or ask the Genie workspace AI directly. A drag-and-drop card lets you publish image and video files straight into your project’s public folder. See Managing your projects.
  • Drag images into the project chat to embed them in your app. Drop a logo, hero image, or product photo directly into the prompt field and describe how you want it used — Genie saves the file into your project and references it in the generated code. No separate hosting needed.
  • Manage Genie Cloud access from the workspace AI. Enable private mode, approve pending users, and send app invites by asking the Genie workspace AI in plain language — for example, “Enable private mode for my project” or “Invite these email addresses to my app”. Access settings now sync to your live Cloud instance instantly when saved. See Authentication.
  • Smoother mobile chat experience. Opening a project chat on mobile no longer causes a brief layout shift while the message history loads.
Weekly release
This week brings programmatic access to your workspace, data-safety controls for chat, and a set of quality-of-life improvements across the workspace experience.

New features

  • Genie MCP Server. Connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI client to your Genie workspace. Create projects from natural-language prompts, send follow-up instructions, manage members, check build status, query credit usage, and more — all via OAuth 2.0. Over 50 tools are available across workspace management, projects, workspace chat, MCP integrations, and PII rules. See Genie MCP Server.
  • Workspace PII rules. Owners and admins can now configure exactly how Genie handles sensitive data in workspace and project chat. Toggle built-in detectors for credit card numbers, IBANs, email addresses, API keys, and more. Write custom regex rules for organisation-specific data. Choose to log, block, or ignore matches. A censored detection log makes it easy to audit what was caught. See Workspace PII rules.

Updates

  • Workspace chat: credit usage queries. Ask the Genie AI how many credits you or your team used this month, which project is spending the most, or break usage down by day — and get a precise answer drawn directly from your ledger. Admins can query workspace-wide totals; members see their own usage.
  • Workspace chat: visible tool activity. While the AI looks up workspace details, searches past chats, or checks a project’s status, a labelled progress indicator now shows what it is doing. Previously the chat appeared frozen during research turns.
  • Account settings. A new Account Settings page lets you manage your display preferences, including a dark mode toggle that syncs across all your devices.
  • Workspace home: always-fresh project list. The project grid on the workspace home now revalidates automatically when you return to the tab and refreshes every 60 seconds while it is open. Archiving or deleting a project removes the card from the grid immediately, without needing a manual refresh.
Weekly release
A short follow-up week focused on refining what shipped on Monday.

Updates

  • Customer compliance package — clearer availability (DE). German customers can now see exactly how to request the AVV, TOM, sub-processor list, deletion concept, and data-subject-rights processes, including the contact address and turnaround time. See Compliance-Paket.
Weekly release
This week brings the first wave of public-facing improvements across projects, Genie Cloud, workspaces, and billing.

New features

  • Genie Cloud is now generally available. Every app you build can opt into a managed backend with a database, file storage, user authentication, and edge functions — set up automatically with no configuration. See Genie Cloud overview.
  • Import a Claude design as a starting point. Drop in an HTML file exported from a Claude design and Genie turns it into a working project you can refine with follow-up prompts. See Import a design.
  • Workspace MCP integrations. Connect Linear, GitHub, Notion, Stripe, and more to your workspace through MCP — one shared connection is available to every member and every project. See Workspace integrations.
  • Project secrets. Store API keys and other sensitive values securely at the project level. Your running app reads them automatically and they are never exposed in code or chat. See Project secrets.
  • Templates gallery. Start from a ready-made portfolio, dashboard, CRM, tracker, and more, then customize with follow-up prompts. See Templates.

Updates

  • New plans: Starter, Genie, Teams, and Enterprise. Every plan now includes the same features — pick one based on credits, custom domain, and team workspace needs. See Plans.
  • Top-ups for paid plans. Buy additional credits on demand. Top-ups stack on top of your monthly allowance and never expire. See Top-ups.
  • Clearer credit usage. Credits now show how they’re counted, per-plan limits, what happens when you run out, and how to check your balance. See Credits.
  • Publishing and sharing controls. Choose who can access your project, grab a shareable link, allow remixing, and connect a custom domain to your live app. See Publish and share.
  • Workspace member management. Invite teammates by link or email, assign roles, change roles later, and remove members when needed. See Members.
  • Anonymous users in Genie Cloud Auth. Review registered users and understand how sign-in, sign-up, and anonymous sessions work. See Authentication.
  • Automatic database management. Genie creates and updates your app’s tables automatically. Inspect tables and data from the Cloud tab. See Database.
  • Public and private storage buckets. Genie Cloud organizes file storage into buckets so you can choose what’s shared and what stays private. See Storage.
  • German-language documentation. The full docs are now available in German for all of the above.
  • Customer compliance package (DE). German customers can request the AVV, TOM, sub-processor list, deletion concept, and data-subject-rights processes in one bundle. See Compliance-Paket.
