For the complete history, see the canonical changelog at /changelog. ## August 7, 2026: Seedance 2.5 is available in AI Studio 1 change shipped August 7, 2026. - New: Generate videos up to 30 seconds with Seedance 2.5. Seedance 2.5 is now selectable in the AI Studio video composer and can be requested in Vira. It takes clips up to 30 seconds in one generation — double the previous limit — with native synchronized audio, spoken dialogue, and lip sync. - - Attach nothing for text-to-video, a start and end frame for transitions, or reference images, videos, and audio for guided shots. - - Outputs 480p and 720p in every Studio aspect ratio, including 9:16, 16:9, and 1:1. - - Seedance 2.0 stays available and remains the default, so existing prompts and automations are unchanged. ## July 28, 2026: A faster way to set up a generation in AI Studio 2 changes shipped July 28, 2026. - New: Speak your prompt, and pick several images at once. Tap the microphone in the Studio composer and talk instead of typing — your words are added to whatever is already in the box. Selecting images is now a batch too: upload or pick as many as you need and add them in one go. - New: Remix any result to make a variation. Hover a result and choose Remix to load the prompt, reference images, and settings that made it back into the composer. Change one detail and generate again, without setting it all up from scratch. ## July 25, 2026: Bring images straight from the web into your slides 1 change shipped July 25, 2026. - New: Swap a slide image by pasting a Pinterest link. Paste a Pinterest pin link in the slide image picker and it replaces the current slide image right away. The image is also saved to your uploads, so you can reuse it across other slideshows. ## July 12, 2026: A new agent-first onboarding experience 3 changes shipped July 12, 2026. - New: Meet Vira through work made for your product. New workspaces now meet Vira through a guided setup that learns the product, audience, creative direction, and goals before preparing real starter content. The handoff opens into the same Vira conversation you can keep using after onboarding. - New: Start with production-ready creative directions. Onboarding now turns your answers into product-specific concepts, including a UGC storyboard, influencer directions, and starter slideshows. You can inspect the work as it is prepared instead of waiting through a generic setup screen. - Improved: Generation failures recover without losing your progress. If a starter storyboard fails, onboarding can rebuild it from the product context already collected and continue in the same authorized Vira thread. Empty or incomplete reveals are no longer treated as finished setup. ## July 10, 2026: Inbox becomes the home for finished Vira work 3 changes shipped July 10, 2026. - New: Browse everything Vira finished in one searchable feed. Inbox now brings together completed scheduled tasks, delegated research, slideshows, Studio generations, and other background work. Search the feed, open the original conversation, and jump directly into the result without hunting through separate tools. - New: Preview media and inspect the latest result. Finished work now carries its real preview media and opens in a focused inspector on desktop. The newest result is promoted as the Inbox spotlight, with actions kept local to the item you are reviewing. - Improved: Automation settings are easier to understand and edit. Recurring Vira automations now use a master-detail view with readable summaries, schedules, status, and editable settings, so you can inspect what will run before changing it. ## July 9, 2026: Vira turns your first week into an actionable plan 3 changes shipped July 9, 2026. - New: Meet Vira inside your first activation workspace. The post-onboarding experience now opens around your product-specific storyboard and the next decisions needed to move it forward. Vira can continue from the generated context instead of asking you to repeat your brief. - New: Weekly Briefs become draft content plans. Weekly Briefs now translate performance and content opportunities into concrete drafts you can review and act on, connecting insights to the next piece of work instead of ending at a report. - Improved: Viral Library searches recover when filters are too narrow. When a category and keyword combination returns no results, Vira now broadens the search in a controlled order while preserving what was changed. Useful inspiration no longer disappears because one filter combination was overly specific. ## July 9, 2026: Competitor suggestions for ecommerce products 1 change shipped July 9, 2026. - New: See who you're competing with — and what's working for them. Ecommerce products now get automatic competitor suggestions, just like apps already do. Genviral finds real brands in your space, you pick which ones to track, and your product setup surfaces what those competitors are posting so you always have fresh inspiration to work from. ## July 8, 2026: Background work now returns real, openable results 2 changes shipped July 8, 2026. - Improved: Scheduled and delegated tasks render clickable artifacts. When Vira creates a slideshow, post, or Studio asset in the background, the finished conversation now includes the same rich artifact card as a live chat. Open the result directly instead of searching for it manually. - New: Understand Vira usage by plan and model. Usage limits now show live per-plan allowances and model cost comparisons, making it clearer how different model choices affect your available Vira budget. ## July 5, 2026: Vira and the editor now work as one surface 3 changes shipped July 5, 2026. - New: Generate and edit video without leaving the timeline. Vira can generate clips, voiceovers, captions, and timeline changes while the editor stays open as the working surface. Completed video generations appear in the artifact panel and editor-bound work keeps its project context. - New: Build richer edits with multiple audio layers. Editor projects now support multiple audio clips with per-clip volume, making it possible to combine voiceover, music, and other audio in one editable timeline. - Improved: Vira's timeline edits stay visibly saved. After Vira changes an open project, the editor now recognizes the server-saved document instead of incorrectly switching back to Unsaved or issuing a redundant save that can race the active turn. ## July 4, 2026: Delegated tasks report back automatically 3 changes shipped July 4, 2026. - New: Send longer work to the background. Vira can delegate longer research and production tasks to a dedicated background conversation, leaving the main chat free while the work continues with its own context and tool history. - New: Get an automatic report when the task finishes. Finished delegated tasks now resume the parent conversation with a concise synthesis and proposed next step. You no longer need to send another message just to make Vira notice that its background work completed. - Improved: Open the full research conversation as an artifact. Background results render as the real read-only conversation—with formatted answers, tool activity, sources, and produced artifacts—rather than a flattened block of raw text. ## July 3, 2026: Rich background-task results and a steadier Vira 4 changes shipped July 3, 2026. - New: Finished tasks open as rich artifacts. A completed background task now appears as a quiet inline card that opens its status, usage, evidence, outputs, and dedicated conversation. Results stay available without interrupting the chat you are already in. - Improved: Tool approvals remain visible and recover on reload. Pending approvals are preserved through background persistence and page reloads, and multiple approval requests can be presented together instead of arriving as a confusing sequence of interruptions. - Improved: Vira responds faster through more stable prompt caching. The stable part of Vira's working context now reuses provider prompt caches more effectively, reducing repeated input processing while preserving the conversation and tool context needed for each turn. - Fixed: Completed slideshows stop looking stuck. The bulk Slides queue now switches from Researching to Ready when generation actually completes, so finished decks no longer appear to be running indefinitely. ## July 3, 2026: Slideshow generation status fixes 1 change shipped July 3, 2026. - Improved: Slides queue now reflects when a deck is actually ready. A slideshow in the Slides queue could keep showing as still researching even after it had finished generating with real slides. It now updates to Ready as soon as generation completes. ## July 2, 2026: A chat-first video editor and asynchronous slideshow creation 3 changes shipped July 2, 2026. - New: Control the video editor through Vira. The video editor now pairs the timeline with a persistent Vira workspace. Ask for cuts, generated clips, subtitles, voiceover, and other project changes while keeping the editable result in view. - New: Generate slideshow plans in the background. Slideshow planning now runs asynchronously, so larger research and planning jobs can continue without holding the page open. Progress and approvals remain visible while the work runs. - Improved: See what Vira is doing before the first tool result. Live status now appears as soon as a turn begins, closing the silent gap before research or generation produces its first visible output. ## July 1, 2026: Vira gains broader access and consistent controls 3 changes shipped July 1, 2026. - New: Use Full Access for uninterrupted trusted workflows. Vira can now run approved classes of trusted tools without stopping for the same confirmation every time, while credit-consuming and sensitive actions continue to use the appropriate safeguards. - Improved: Choose effort and speed from every Vira composer. The full-page chat, dock, and product surfaces now share the same model effort and fast-mode controls, so a conversation keeps the behavior you selected wherever you continue it. - New: Content Labels, Track Record, and Weekly Briefs. Genviral now connects published content to reusable labels and a performance track record, giving Vira a stronger foundation for recurring Weekly Briefs and evidence-based recommendations. ## June 21, 2026: Vira can delegate complex work 2 changes shipped June 21, 2026. - New: Launch a background task from the active conversation. Longer research and production requests can now run asynchronously in their own Vira thread. The active chat receives progress and completion notices while remaining available for other work. - Improved: Failures include useful diagnostics. When a delegated task cannot complete, its child-task details and failure context remain accessible from the parent conversation instead of collapsing into a generic error. ## June 18, 2026: Stop, queue, or steer Vira while it works 3 changes shipped June 18, 2026. - New: Stop an active turn. You can now stop Vira while a response or tool workflow is running. Cancellation is recorded on the active turn and propagated through the live stream. - New: Queue your next messages. Add up to three pending messages while Vira is busy, remove one before it runs, and let each queued request start with fresh page context after the current turn settles. - New: Steer work already in progress. Send a short correction or extra instruction into the active turn so Vira can apply it at the next model step without abandoning the work already underway. ## June 12, 2026: Consistent characters in the slideshow editor 2 changes shipped June 12, 2026. - New: Use a consistent character on any slide in Slides. When you build a slideshow from scratch in Slides, each slide can generate an image of your own trained character or a reference photo—the same consistent character available in the Media Library, AI Studio, and slideshow automations. - Improved: Train a character with as few as 5 photos. Character training now starts from just 5 photos instead of 30, so you can prepare a reusable character much faster while still adding more references when you want greater consistency. ## May 29, 2026: Publish to Telegram and Mastodon 2 changes shipped May 29, 2026. - New: Schedule and post to Telegram. Connect a Telegram channel or group with your bot token, then publish text, images, videos, and albums from the same composer, queue, and calendar you use for every other social channel. - New: Schedule and post to Mastodon. Connect any Mastodon instance and publish text or media posts from Genviral alongside the rest of your social accounts. ## May 28, 2026: Vira builds analytics dashboards in chat 2 changes shipped May 28, 2026. - New: Ask for a dashboard in plain language. Vira can turn an analytics question into a structured dashboard inside the artifact panel, combining the requested metrics and visualizations without forcing you to assemble the report manually. - Improved: Credit operations are safer to retry. Credit deductions and refunds now require stable idempotency keys, reducing the risk of duplicate charges when a generation or tool request is retried. ## May 28, 2026: Vira understands richer product context 3 changes shipped May 28, 2026. - New: Persistent brand briefs for every product. Product evidence can now be synthesized into a saved brand brief with positioning, audience, palette, and pain points. Vira and other creation surfaces can reuse that context instead of rebuilding it for every request. - New: Open product context directly from Vira. When Vira reads a product, the conversation now renders a dedicated brand-brief artifact so you can inspect the context guiding its recommendations and generations. - Fixed: Abandoned setup no longer leaves empty products behind. Product setup now waits for real context before creating the canonical product, preventing failed or abandoned analysis from filling the workspace with Untitled product entries. --- Canonical HTML: https://www.genviral.io/changelog
