TL;DR
In July’s Open Studio, we dropped exciting new creation capabilities and AI tools designed to streamline workflows and make space for more creativity. We also shared updates to our business solutions and revealed a game-changing tool for devs building mobile apps.
Fresh ways to bring your creative vision to life

Apply it to text or images, and they’ll blend together with the layer underneath to create striking new color combinations when they overlap.
Glass effect

You can now create scroll-stopping layouts with sticky cards, even when your Repeater is connected to the CMS.
On the menu: revamped site navigation
Hamburger menu
We’ve updated hamburger menus, added more design flexibility and made it easier to work and scroll inside the expanded menu container. They’re also more accessible and SEO-friendly, with menu content now indexed on Google.
Speed things up with brand new AI tools
Regenerate an existing image with a prompt while keeping its original essence or add new elements to shake up its style.

Make quizzes for online programs
Turn content from an online program into a quiz that tests knowledge and keeps users engaged.
Generate FAQ sections for site pages
Fast forward through the repetitive task of creating FAQ sections—and make sure visitors’ questions are covered.
COMING SOON
Build complex flows with the Automation Builder
Streamline and automate advanced flows on an intuitive canvas with the new Automation Builder. From email flows and payment requests to invoice reminders, and more—build automations out in a visual and digestible format.
Introducing the new Mobile Widget Builder: a new cost-effective way to create fully-custom mobile apps for clients, at a fraction of the time it would take to develop from scratch. Use the Branded App framework for our native business solutions and build custom functionalities for specific client needs - all in an intuitive new editor.
And the best part: apps you create with the Mobile widget builder will be eligible for revenue share, so you can keep earning even after they’re launched.
