Smarter AI image-to-template, AI image generation, and a simpler new-template flow

A big release: image-to-template is rebuilt as a multi-step pipeline, the AI assistant can generate and edit images, new templates start from a first-draft composer, and billing handles Shopify teams and expired plans more gracefully.

This release rebuilds how the AI Assistant turns an image into a template, adds AI image generation and editing, gives new templates a simpler starting point, and makes billing smoother for Shopify teams.

Image-to-template, rebuilt

Turning a screenshot or reference image into an email is now a multi-step pipeline: the AI classifies the image, copies the text and matches the layout, builds the template, and then resolves the images. Batch tools and layout fixes make the results noticeably closer to your reference.

AI image generation and editing

Generate images right from the AI Assistant in a persistent thread dialog. You can edit a generated image, follow its history, request exact sizes, and rely on automatic retries when a generation fails. Admins can also set default image models.

A simpler way to start a template

The new template page is simpler, with a first-draft composer where you can pick a design system and export target, bring your own API key, attach files, and enjoy a new 3D logo scene.

Projects and templates

  • Gallery-style template cards and list view on the project page, with skeleton loading and a create-template card
  • Project slugs are now generated automatically, and are optional when creating a project through the API

AI Assistant improvements

  • Support for the OpenAI Responses API and DeepSeek thinking effort
  • Fixes for attachments being re-read repeatedly during a turn
  • A fullscreen image viewer in the composer

Billing and Shopify

Teams linked to Shopify now stay off Paddle and see a clear billing notice instead of a hard redirect. When a plan expires, the team falls back to the Free plan and the owner is notified.

Smaller fixes

  • Fixed a false "session expired" redirect in the guest builder
  • Improved real-time reconnect recovery in collaborative editing
  • Fixed Ctrl+C being hijacked in the builder
  • Fixed image gallery overflow and several UI polish issues
