Turn a sentence into an image

Say the tile has arrived: the new 🎨 Image Generator lets you describe what you want — a product mock-up, a slide illustration, a social graphic — and get a finished image back in seconds. It's powered by Google Gemini, and you can keep refining by simply describing the changes.

Every chat can now search the web

Ask about something recent and the assistant will look it up and answer with links to its sources — no separate tool, no copy-pasting. It works across all of our models, so your answers stay current instead of stopping at the model's training date.

Keep your chats organised with Projects

Brand new in this release: Projects let you group related conversations into tidy, named workspaces — one per client, campaign, class or workstream — instead of one endless chat list. They're private to you, and deleting a project never deletes the chats inside it.
