Edit videos using natural language, work with clips up to 30 seconds long, and upscale your final outputs to 4K resolution.

This week, we're introducing Aleph 2.0, a new video editing model that lets you modify specific elements in a video through text while preserving the rest of the scene. We're also launching a new Video Upscaler for sharper, higher-resolution outputs up to 4K.

Change one element, preserve the rest

Describe what you want to change, a product color, hairstyle, piece of clothing, or another visual element, and Awen updates only that part of the video.

Backgrounds, lighting, composition, and surrounding details remain unchanged.

New editing capabilities:

• Edit videos using natural language
• Modify specific visual elements
• Preserve the rest of the scene
• Maintain visual consistency throughout the clip

Edit longer videos

Aleph 2.0 supports video edits up to 30 seconds and 30 FPS, making it suitable for ads, social content, and short-form productions.

Upscale videos to 4K

The new Video Upscaler increases resolution up to 4K while improving sharpness and fine details.

Upscaling capabilities:

• Upscale videos up to 4K
• Improve clarity and detail
• Produce higher-quality final outputs

Available now in Awen.

Every action in awen is now itemized.

See the model used, input and output tokens, and generation specifications where applicable ; including image resolution, video resolution, and duration.

You can also filter usage by project, making it easier to understand the cost of any project.

This week, we're introducing an updated version of Awen, designed to think more like a creative partner.

Better at understanding, planning, and executing

Even when ideas are abstract, incomplete, or evolving, Awen can now build clearer plans, break complex requests into steps, and execute across multiple actions with greater coherence.

We encourage you to ask away anything and are excited for you to discover this on Awen.

This week, we're introducing batch image editing in Awen. You can now run edits across entire image sets by uploading multiple assets, describing the change once, and letting Awen apply it consistently across all outputs.

Edit multiple images in a single pass

Instead of editing images one by one, Awen now supports transformations across large sets of assets.

Using sub-agents, edits are applied in parallel, maintaining consistency while significantly reducing manual work.

Batch editing capabilities:

• Run edits across sets: Apply the same transformation to multiple images
• Sub-agent processing: Parallel execution for faster results
• Consistent outputs: Uniform edits across all assets
• Simplified workflow: Describe once, apply everywhere

Built for high-volume image workflows

Batch processing is designed for workflows where consistency and scale matter, from asset production to iterative design changes.

Try awen free and edit your next image set in one pass.

This week, we're introducing 4K video generation in Awen. You can now generate videos at higher resolution, producing sharper visuals suitable for professional and high-quality outputs.

Higher resolution, better visual quality

4K generation increases the level of detail and clarity in your video outputs.

This is especially useful for content that requires high resolution, including marketing visuals, presentations, and production-ready assets.

4K video improvements:

• 4K resolution output: Generate videos with higher pixel density
• Improved clarity: Sharper details and cleaner visuals
• Production-ready quality: Suitable for high-resolution use cases

4K video generation is now available in Awen.

Try awen free and start generating in 4K.

This week, we've upgraded image-to-SVG generation in Awen. Outputs are now sharper and more consistent, especially for technical visuals and structured designs.

More precise SVG conversion

The updated image-to-SVG pipeline improves how shapes, lines, and details are interpreted from source images.

This results in cleaner vector outputs that require less post-processing.

SVG improvements:

• Sharper outputs: Cleaner lines and improved detail accuracy
• More reliable conversion: Better consistency across inputs
• Optimized for structure: Improved results for diagrams and technical drawings

Better suited for design workflows

These improvements make image-to-SVG generation more usable in real design and production environments.

Whether you're working with diagrams, icons, or structured visuals, outputs are more predictable and easier to use.

Try awen free and convert your next image to SVG.

At awen, our initial concern was simple: how creative work unfolds in practice.

The act of generation produces outputs while often erasing the path that led to them. Decisions, inputs, and transformations collapse into a single result.

We encountered this not as an abstract problem, but as a practical one. Rather than constrain the process, we asked a different question: what would it mean to make it observable?

With lineage, every creation in awen carries the full path that led to it, stored automatically as you create.

We're also introducing awen.zip: a structured export containing both your final asset and the complete history behind it.

We're excited for you to discover this on awen.

Until now, getting to your most-used tools and recent projects took a few extra steps. The new homepage puts them front and center, with a more structured layout and an updated sidebar that makes core actions easier to reach.

Navigation improvements:

• Redesigned homepage: Your workspace, tools, and recent work visible immediately
• Updated sidebar: Core views and actions accessible without navigating away
• Fewer steps: Less clicking between where you are and where you need to be

A dedicated projects page to manage your work

Projects used to live across different areas of the interface. Now they're all in a single, dedicated view.

Access, organize, and revisit your work from one place, without switching between sections.

Projects updates:

• Centralized projects view: All projects in one page
• Improved organization: Easier access to past and active work
• Faster navigation: Jump between projects without context switching

Settings within reach

Key controls like workspace and account settings are now available with fewer clicks. No more digging through menus to adjust something mid-workflow.

Try the new homepage and start your next project from a cleaner starting point.

Evaluating generated images used to mean squinting at thumbnails or jumping back to the main workspace to make changes. The new lightbox fixes both: images are displayed larger and clearer, and you can now edit them directly using chat without leaving the view.

Improved image readability and focus

The lightbox layout now prioritizes the image itself. Results are displayed at a larger size with less visual noise around them, making it easier to judge composition, lighting, and detail at a glance.

Surrounding context, like nearby results from the same conversation, stays accessible without competing for attention.

Lightbox improvements:

• Clearer image display: Larger, more readable results
• Better focus: Reduced visual noise around the asset
• Context preserved: Access nearby results without leaving the view

Edit images directly with chat

Previously, refining an image meant closing the lightbox and returning to the conversation. Now you can prompt changes right from the lightbox, adjust lighting, swap materials, refine composition, and see the updated result in place.

The editing loop stays tight: generate, review, refine, all without switching views.

Editing improvements:

• Chat-based edits: Modify images directly from the lightbox
• Faster iteration: Refine results without changing views
• Seamless workflow: Generate, review, and edit in one place

Try the new lightbox and edit your next image without leaving the view.

awen now includes two new video editing tools: 4K upscaling and motion transfer.

4K video upscaling

You can now upscale generated or imported videos to 4K resolution. Whether you are preparing content for broadcast, digital campaigns, or large-format displays, 4K upscaling ensures your video assets meet production standards without re-rendering from scratch.

Motion transfer

Motion transfer lets you apply the movement from one video to another. Transfer the motion of a character in one clip to a different visual while preserving the target subject.

Reuse choreography across different scenes, apply real-world motion to generated visuals, or explore variations of the same movement with different subjects.

• 4K upscaling: Increase video resolution up to 4K
• Motion transfer: Apply movement from one video to another
• Expanded video workflows: More control over motion and output quality

Try awen free and start producing high-resolution video with the new editing tools.

Studio now includes a carousel view inside the lightbox. Instead of opening results one by one, you can swipe through generated assets and compare variations without leaving the view.

Browse results at full size

When working through multiple iterations, the carousel keeps you in flow. You see each result at full size while staying one swipe away from the next.

This is especially useful during high-volume generation sessions where evaluating subtle differences between variations matters. The carousel gives you a larger preview of each image while keeping nearby results accessible.

• Swipe through results: Navigate generated images in sequence
• Larger previews: Full-size view while keeping nearby results accessible
• Faster comparison: Evaluate variations without reopening assets

Try awen free and browse your creations with the new carousel view.

Image generation in awen now supports two modes: Fast and Precise. You choose the one that matches where you are in your creative process.

Fast mode for rapid iteration

Fast mode produces results significantly quicker and at a lower generation cost. It is ideal when you are testing visual directions, iterating on compositions, or narrowing down a concept before committing to final quality.

When speed matters more than pixel-level precision, Fast mode keeps your creative momentum going.

Precise mode for final output

Precise mode delivers higher accuracy and detailed outputs. When you have locked a direction and need production-ready fidelity, Precise mode gives your final assets the level of detail they require.

Switch modes at any point

You can switch between Fast and Precise at any point in a conversation. Start in Fast to explore, then move to Precise once the direction is clear. No need to restart the session or lose context.

• Fast mode: Quicker output and lower cost for rapid experimentation
• Precise mode: Higher fidelity for production-ready results
• Flexible workflow: Switch between modes depending on whether you are exploring or refining

Try awen free and see how generation modes adapt to your creative pace.

This week, we are introducing Studio view, a dedicated space to browse every image and video created in a conversation. No more scrolling through long threads to find the shot you loved three prompts ago.

Browse your creations in a visual grid

Open Studio from the view selector and see every generation laid out in a single grid. Click any asset to preview it full-size, send it straight to the whiteboard with Open in Whiteboard, or select multiple pieces to download and manage them together.

Key capabilities:

• Visual grid: See every image and video from a conversation in one place, organized chronologically.
• Full-size preview: Click any asset to open it in a lightbox for a closer look.
• Whiteboard integration: Send any asset directly to the whiteboard with one click.
• Bulk selection: Select multiple assets to download or manage them together.

A dedicated space for your creations

When you generate dozens of images and videos in a single conversation, the chat thread becomes hard to navigate. Studio view solves this by pulling every visual output into one place. You get a clear overview of everything you have created, organized in a grid that makes it easy to spot the right asset without context-switching.

Whether you are comparing lighting variations, picking the best frame for a campaign, or collecting final deliverables, Studio keeps your creative output front and center.

How to use

• Open a conversation and switch the view to Studio (next to Chat and Whiteboard).
• Scroll the grid to browse every image and video generated in that conversation.
• Click an asset to preview it full-size; use Open in Whiteboard to add it to the whiteboard.
• Select multiple assets to download or manage them in bulk.

Open Studio view and keep your best work where you can see it.

This week, we are introducing a modular evolution to your workspace: Floating Chat and The Pocket. These updates move the interface out of your way, keeping your canvas as the focus of your creative process while your entire asset library stays a click away.

Design with floating chat

The new floating chat is a modular command center that optimizes result visibility. Instead of a fixed sidebar, you now have a flexible interface that you can position anywhere on your canvas.

Key workspace improvements:

• Flexible placement: Move the chat box from left to center of your screen to keep your primary design visible. (Canvas mode only)
• Toggle visibility: Easily hide or display the chat to switch between focused creation and active prompting.

Manage assets with The Pocket

We are also introducing The Pocket, a dedicated space where all your creations and attachments live. This centralized hub enables smoother asset management, allowing you to browse every iteration without leaving your active project.

The Pocket acts as your visual memory, storing both your AI-generated outputs and your uploaded attachments in one searchable interface.

Fluid navigation for complex projects

These updates solve the common frustration of cluttered workspaces during high-volume design cycles. By separating the conversation from the canvas and centralizing asset storage, awen lets you manage complex creative directions without the UI getting in your way.

• Instant history: Open your full chat history whenever you need to revisit a specific creative decision.
• Modular layout: Tailor your workspace to your specific workflow, whether you are doing rapid ideation or high-fidelity refinement.

Try awen free and see how a modular workspace transforms your creative flow.

This week, we are introducing Video Producer, a major leap in how you create and edit motion content. We've replaced complex timelines with a conversational engine that understands your creative intent, allowing you to move from static assets to cinematic sequences in minutes.

One conversation, five inputs

Video Producer handles up to five distinct inputs simultaneously. Whether you have a single hero image, a series of style references, or two frames representing a "start" and "end" state, awen figures out the best way to bring your assets to life.

New video capabilities:

• Extended clip duration: Generate high-fidelity motion clips up to 15 seconds long.
• Multi-input intelligence: Use up to 5 images or videos at once to define style, characters, and action.
• Intuitive methods: awen automatically chooses between animating a single photo, creating smooth transformations, or evolving a shot through multiple "beats" based on your description.

Propose, sequence, and orchestrate

Creating long-form content no longer requires manual splicing. If your vision exceeds 15 seconds, Video Producer shifts into Orchestration Mode. It breaks your idea into scenes, generates each clip, and assembles them into a single cohesive sequence.

Start producing today

Video Producer is now available to all users. Whether you're a filmmaker visualizing a treatment or an advertiser scaling social content, you can now produce professional-grade video through simple conversation.

Start producing today and create your first film with a single conversation.

This week, we are introducing an updated interface for image generation and selection. You can now move from a single concept to a collection of variations instantly and refine them using natural conversation.

How does the new selection interface work?

The updated canvas makes it easier to navigate between multiple visual directions without losing your creative flow. When you generate a new set of images, you can now quickly toggle between variations to see which one best captures your intent.

Key interface improvements:

• Side-by-side selection: View multiple generations at once to compare composition and lighting.
• Visual history: Access your previous variations in a dedicated sidebar to track your design evolution.
• One-click focus: Instantly expand your favorite variation to begin high-fidelity refinement.

Creation should feel as natural as thought. With voice commands, speaking to awen becomes as effortless as typing.

You can now generate, refine, and navigate simply by using your voice. Describe a scene, ask for a variation, or request a specific edit, awen listens and acts on your words directly.

How to use

• Click the microphone icon in the prompt field.
• Speak your command, anything you'd normally type works here.
• Review the transcription, then send it to awen.

Voice commands work across all of awen's creative modes: image generation, video production, and canvas editing. Whether you're sketching out a rough concept or fine-tuning a final asset, your hands stay free and your ideas keep moving.

Ideas are now expressed at the speed of thought.
