What changed and what is improving over time.
Late May 2026: clearer signals, safer accounts, sharper builds
Builds got cheaper. Status got clearer. Safety got broader. If you're on Premium, the same workload that ate into your monthly pool a week ago now uses a fraction. If you're on any plan, the chat reads more like a conversation than a log, file edits show up as pills you can click to see the actual code, and an active line glistens while the engine works so it feels alive instead of frozen.
Late May 2026: clearer signals, safer accounts, sharper builds
A round of practical improvements: a credit-pool warning you can actually see, multilingual safety at the front of every build, a fresh chat surface with expandable file previews, and a quiet under-the-hood fix that cut typical credit burn on Premium by about 80%.
Nothing big-bang this round — just a stack of changes that make the day-to-day cleaner. You now see your credit pool status without going hunting for it, the safety check runs in any language before a single credit moves, the build chat looks closer to what people expect from a modern AI workspace, and the engine itself spends fewer credits per build.
May 2026: a new engine under the hood
We rebuilt the build pipeline this month — same prompts, same UI, but a different engine doing the work. Faster, multilingual, and routed through the right model for each section automatically.
The new engine is what's running every build now. You don't switch on anything; existing builds keep working, new ones use V2 by default. What changed is how prompts get understood, how sections get assembled, and how the engine handles hard creative cases.
April 2026: live preview everywhere, plus unlimited cosmetic edits for everyone
Live preview now works across build, edit, repair, and demo. The Standard Engine handles cosmetic changes for free on every plan, and the Deep Engine routes heavier work through the right lane automatically.
Three things changed at once: live preview works across every flow, small cosmetic edits no longer cost Deep Engine credits, and the engine picks the right lane for each edit on its own so simple changes stay fast and deep changes stay thorough.
Early April 2026: a cleaner control surface across the whole workspace
Top-nav shell, tighter dashboard hierarchy, more prominent Stripe area, calmer milestones and live feed, plus some technical cleanup underneath.
This pass focused on how the whole app feels to use. Less clutter, a stronger hierarchy, better Stripe visibility, and a dashboard that reads like one premium control surface.
How Virex improves over time — the running improvement story
One timeline for how the product has changed and where it is heading. Covers routing, engine depth, mobile support, docs, and the transparent Deep Engine credit system.
Instead of one marketing story about 'AI getting smarter,' this is the concrete improvement log: what we have shipped, what we are refining, and what the next passes look like.
Moved: the latest changes now live on one timeline
This page used to carry a recent-updates snapshot. The full improvement history — mobile support, docs, routing, engine depth — now lives on one dedicated page, with individual monthly update posts in the Updates category.
Recent-improvements content has been merged into one place so readers do not have to hop between two overlapping pages.
March 2026 update: simpler Build Engine, tighter Prompt Studio, and a dedicated milestones page
Visible cleanup across the app: simpler creation surfaces, clearer page structure, a more useful Prompt Studio, and milestones finally on their own page.
Usability-focused pass. The dashboard is cleaner, the Build Engine starts from your idea instead of a form wall, Prompt Studio is more builder-friendly, and milestones now have a real home.
February 2026 update: the brief now leads the build, advanced setup moves out of the way
Creation surfaces got simpler: a prompt-first Build Engine, a cleaner Prompt Studio, and a lighter visible choice system with all the engine depth still working underneath.
The create flow is now a cleaner central canvas. The prompt leads, project naming stays visible, visual choices are easier to scan, and advanced setup stays tucked away instead of dumped on the page.
January 2026 update: dashboard cleanup, stronger Stripe presence, and a calmer live feed
Dashboard-focused update: slimmer status signals, stronger action surfaces, a more central Stripe area, cleaner project rows, and a clearer progression view.
The dashboard now reads more like a premium control surface and less like stacked cards. Stripe is more central, projects are easier to scan, milestones are clearer, and the live feed feels like one system.
Category pages are meant to be real public entry points
These are not only filters sitting on top of the all page. They act as direct content routes so users and search visitors can land in the right topic area more intentionally.
