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

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
