v3.0 — The Operator Era

DesignGen v3.0 Release Notes

v3.0 is the biggest DesignGen release yet. Operator is now at the center of every workflow — from idea to design, brand to storefront. This update brings Creative Studio, Brand Studio with the Violet knowledge interview, a full seller marketplace, and production-grade image tools to every tier.

Operator is the AI assistant at the center of your DesignGen dashboard. It understands your workflow stage and connects every tool through a single conversation.
Generate designs, open Creative Studio sessions, manage brand context, create marketplace listings, and navigate production tools — all by chatting with Operator.
Operator carries context across tools so you spend less time re-explaining and more time creating.

Creative Studio is a persistent workspace for turning rough ideas into campaign-ready creative.
Session-based work that saves your progress, references, notes, and outputs in one place.
Attach reference images to guide output direction. Brand context from Brand Studio carries directly into every session.
Multi-format output — images, variations, and video assets all produced from the same creative brief.
Built for campaign launches, ad variations, and repeat brand content.

Brand Studio is your centralized hub for voice, logos, imagery, colors, typography, and strategy.
Import colors, typography, and imagery from your existing website as a starting point.
Upload logos and brand assets to an organized library accessible across every tool.
Talk to Violet — our AI brand strategist — to capture your brand voice, audience, positioning, and visual identity through a guided 10-topic interview.
Violet remembers what you have already shared and focuses on gaps, proof points, and competitive positioning.
Build your brand once. It travels with every Creative Studio session automatically.

Blue-noise FM screening produces consistent minimum dot sizes for better adhesion on printed products.
Configurable density, angle control, and tone curves for print compensation.
