Changelog

Beta 0.2.2April 13, 2026

Synthetic Personas

• Sliding Panel Architecture: Persona interviews and screen tests now open in a sliding panel with a dedicated settings sidebar, replacing the previous full-page view.
• Persona Profile Card: New compact profile card with expandable deep-profile data (statistical, anthropological, psychological) shown inline during interviews.
• Grounding Chart: Visual breakdown of how each persona attribute is sourced (real data, research, manual, inferred) displayed as a donut chart in the interview sidebar.
• Persona Switcher: Switch between personas mid-interview without leaving the chat view.
• Screen Test from Interview:Start a user test directly from the interview type dropdown — select “User Testing” to hand the current persona a design screen.
• Realistic Voice & Tone: Persona voice instructions now include anti-sycophancy rules, demographic- calibrated speech patterns, and natural emotional range so responses feel less like a chatbot and more like a real person.
• Expanded Persona Cards: Research persona cards now support deep profile data, portrait generation triggers, and custom action slots.

Design Generation

• Image-Informed Briefing: Reference images are now analyzed and merged into design orders for both the proposal and V3 generation pipelines, giving the AI visual context alongside text briefs.
• Figma Design Context: Paste a Figma link and the platform extracts tokens, layout patterns, and component structures to feed into the direction planner and generators.
• Figma Auto-Detect in Conductor: The Conductor now detects Figma URLs in your messages and automatically adds them as design context connectors when your account is linked.
• Refactored Figma Client: Figma MCP integration extracted from the refine route into a shared module used across all design generation endpoints.

Conductor

• Voice Audio Improvements: Better audio chunk handling for Conductor Voice sessions.
• Orchestrator Enhancements: Additional routing logic in the orchestrator send handler.

Documentation

• Confidence Scoring Guide: New docs section explaining how persona confidence scores are calculated, what grounding sources mean, and where synthetic personas are most (and least) valuable.

Bug Fixes

• Canvas viewport hook no longer triggers unnecessary re-renders on the design page.

Beta 0.2April 11, 2026

Design Generation

• Failed Screen Retry: Screens that fail during parallel generation are now automatically retried with backoff instead of being silently replaced with placeholders.
• Cross-Screen Color Consistency: Button and CTA colors across all screens are automatically healed to match the first screen, preventing color drift in parallel batches.
• User Reference Images: Upload your own reference images to use as the highest-priority visual source during design generation.
• Parallel Screen Inference: When no flow context exists, the platform now infers suggested screens in a single round-trip, removing an extra step from the setup flow.
• Design System Catalog: Browse and install pre-built design systems directly from the Creative Direction panel. Installed systems feed tokens and components into the generation pipeline.

Creative Direction

• Persona-Aware Generation: Audience and persona context is now injected into every creative direction stage, producing output tailored to your target users instead of generic defaults.
• Aesthetic Tile Previews: All tile previews now render correctly regardless of your current theme setting.

Visual Editor

• Surface Tab Reordering: Drag and drop device surface tabs to reorder them. The new order persists automatically.
• Layer Lock and Visibility: Lock or hide any frame or element directly from the navigator panel with inline toggle controls.
• Typography Token Cascade: Design token changes now cascade across font weight and line height in addition to font size and font family.

Conductor

• Smart Auto-Scroll: The chat feed and task console now detect when you scroll away manually and pause auto-scrolling. It re-engages when new messages arrive.
• Voice Audio Fix: Fixed an issue where voice audio chunks were sent in a deprecated format, improving real-time voice reliability.

Pricing and Hosting

• Updated Pricing Page: Clearer feature breakdowns per tier, new FAQ entries, and a new add-ons section for extra projects and credit top-ups.
• Bundled Hosting: Credit plans now automatically provision and manage hosting slots for your projects.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed confidence assessment card flashing when score is zero.
• Fixed duplicate suggestion actions firing through the chat pipeline.
• Fixed section refinement triggering a stale API call.
