February 2026 update: the brief now leads the build, advanced setup moves out of the way

This update focused on the creation surfaces rather than the backend logic. The engine underneath stayed as powerful as before — the visible build flow just got simpler, more premium, and easier to understand.

Build Engine now starts from the brief

The Build Engine has been reworked into a prompt-first surface built around one central creation canvas. Instead of leading with a stack of admin-like controls, it keeps the brief front and center, leaves project naming visible, and pulls only a small number of high-value choices onto the main surface.

That makes the first move clearer in just a few seconds for both new and repeat builders.

Prompt Studio is cleaner and more builder-facing

Prompt Studio now behaves more like a brief-shaping workspace and less like a planner form. The prompt stays central, the refined brief stays editable, and the deeper engine structure remains behind the scenes where it belongs.

The result is a smoother handoff from a rough idea into a repo-ready request without adding more visible clutter.

Web and mobile choices are clearer without more form fatigue

The visible choices now focus on the product shape people actually understand: what kind of thing they are building, how it should make money, and where it should start. Those choices are shown as clearer visual selections instead of a wall of dropdowns.

That keeps the surface lighter while still giving the engine enough direction to shape the repo properly.
