Changelog

New

• GPT-5.4 - OpenAI's latest model is now available as a quality model option.
• 3 AI Modes - Economy (Gemini only, lowest cost), Smart (Gemini for reading + Claude for building), and Pro (Claude for everything).

Improved

• Help Center rewritten - All help articles updated to reflect current AI features, modes, and model names.

New

• "Undo from here" button - Every message you send to AI now shows an "Undo from here" button below it. Click it to undo all the AI's changes after that point and try again with different instructions. No more endlessly asking AI to fix its own mistakes.
• "Undo & resend" confirmation - When you undo, a clear confirmation dialog explains exactly what will happen before any changes are made. Edit your message if you want, then send it again.
• Checkpoints help page - New help article explaining how checkpoints work, when to use them, and how they relate to publishing.

Improved

• Versions renamed to Checkpoints - "Versions" was confusing for non-technical users. They're now called "Checkpoints" everywhere - menu, labels, help pages. Save a checkpoint before big changes, come back to it anytime.
• Checkpoints moved to top-level menu - Checkpoints were buried three levels deep (Menu > Project > Versions). Now they're right in the main menu, one click away. Includes a "How it works" link to the help page.
• My Projects redesigned - The "My Projects" menu item now has a distinct visual style with a project count badge, so you always know where to find your other projects.
• AI suggests undo and checkpoints - When things go wrong, the AI now suggests using "Undo from here" instead of trying to fix its own mistakes. It also recommends saving checkpoints before major changes.

Fixed

• CSS url() on published sites - Images and fonts referenced with url() in CSS (like background images) now work correctly on published sites. Previously, these paths broke after publishing.

New

• Affiliate Program - Earn commission by sharing Playcode. Share your unique referral link, and when someone subscribes, you earn a commission on their first payment. Track clicks, registrations, and purchases in real time from your affiliate dashboard.
• Multiple Referral Codes - Create different codes for different campaigns (YouTube, Twitter, blog, etc.) and track which ones perform best.
• Affiliate Dashboard - Full funnel analytics: clicks, registrations, purchases, earnings, and payout history. Available in Settings > Affiliate.

New

• AI Image Generation - Generate images, icons, logos, and illustrations right from the chat. Just describe what you need and the AI creates it using Google Gemini's native image generation. Supports any aspect ratio, up to 4K resolution, and multiple style directions.
• Image Editing with References - Attach existing images and ask the AI to edit them: change colors, add elements, remove backgrounds, adjust style. The AI sees your image and makes targeted modifications.
• Background Removal - Automatically remove white backgrounds from generated icons and logos, producing transparent PNGs ready for your website.
• Image Processing - Resize, compress, and convert images between formats (WebP, AVIF, PNG, JPEG, GIF, ICO) through the chat. The AI optimizes your images for the web automatically - just say "compress this image" or "make me a favicon".

Improvements

• Smarter file handling - The AI agent now sees file sizes before reading them and reads files in smaller chunks. No more wasting credits on loading giant files that don't fit in context.
• Faster AI responses - Improved prompt caching for Claude models reduces latency and cost on follow-up messages in long conversations.

Fixes

• Fixed AI agent loops - Resolved an issue where the AI could enter a repetitive loop after long conversations, re-reading the same files and burning credits. A new loop detection system automatically breaks the cycle.

New

• Website Screenshot Tool - The AI agent can now capture visual screenshots of any website. Say "make me a site like competitor.com" and the AI actually sees the design, layout, colors, and typography - not just the HTML text.
• Full-page & element capture - Screenshots support desktop/mobile viewports, full-page scrolling capture, specific element targeting via CSS selector, dark mode, and retina resolution.
• Vision-powered tool results - Tool results can now include images and files as attachments. The AI sees screenshots as actual images (via vision), not just text descriptions. This works across all AI models with vision support.

Under the Hood

• SSRF protection - Screenshot URLs are validated against private networks, cloud metadata endpoints, and DNS rebinding attacks.
• Clean captures - Cookie banners, ads, and animations are automatically removed for clean screenshots.

New

• Native Tailwind CSS v4 - Tailwind CSS is now compiled at build time instead of loading the 266KB browser compiler on every preview refresh. This means dramatically faster previews, especially on mobile devices.
• Zero-config setup - Just add @import "tailwindcss"; to any CSS file and start using Tailwind classes. No PostCSS config, no build tools setup needed.
• Smart class scanning - Only the CSS you actually use gets generated. The compiler scans your HTML, JSX, Vue, and Svelte files for class names and produces minimal, optimized CSS.
• Incremental builds - Compiled CSS is cached between builds. If your classes haven't changed, the preview updates instantly.

Improvements

• Updated all templates - All 32 Tailwind-powered templates now use native compilation instead of the CDN script.
• Backward compatible - Existing projects using the Tailwind CDN script tag will automatically use the native compiler instead.

New

• GPT-5.3 Codex - The latest agentic coding model from OpenAI. Combines frontier coding with research and tool use capabilities.
• Claude Sonnet 4.6 - The newest Sonnet with adaptive thinking and 64K output tokens.
• Claude Opus 4.6 - Upgraded to 128K output tokens with 1M context window support.
• Gemini 3.1 Pro - Replaces the deprecated Gemini 3 Pro Preview.
• Configurable Model Preferences - Choose which AI models to use for Economy (Fast) and Quality (Pro) modes from Preferences > AI Model. Your choices are saved to your account.

New

• Image Attachments - Attach images directly to your chat messages. Paste screenshots with Cmd+V, pick files, or drag and drop. The AI can see and analyze your images - describe designs, debug UI issues, or use attached images in your project.
• PDF Attachments - Attach PDF documents to your chat for the AI to read and reference while building your project.
• Web Browsing - The AI can now fetch web pages and search the internet. Share a URL and it will read the content, or ask it to research topics, find documentation, or look up examples.

Improvements

• Economy Mode by Default - New chats now start in Economy mode (Gemini) for the lowest cost. Switch to Smart or Pro anytime from the mode selector.
• Smarter Chat Names - The AI automatically renames your chat to match the topic once it understands what you're building.

New

• Responsive Preview Mode - Switch between phone, tablet, and desktop views right in the preview toolbar. See exactly how your project looks at different screen sizes without leaving the editor.

Fixes

• Folder Drag & Drop Preserves Structure - Dragging a folder into your project now correctly places asset files (images, fonts, etc.) inside their original subfolders. Previously, all assets were flattened into the root directory.
