Gavana Changelog

People you invite get in right away

Dylan Ngo — Thu, 22 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT

No more waiting for an administrator or a second confirmation email: the person you invite opens the link, signs in and joins the workspace. An earlier invitation email still works after you press Resend.

Find a template faster with search and filters

Dylan Ngo — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Open Templates from + on the Canvas: type to search, or filter by industry and occasion. The window is larger too, so you see more templates at once.

Industry: Beauty & skincare, Fashion & accessories, Home & furniture, Food & drink, Electronics.
Occasion: Evergreen, Summer, Black Friday & Cyber Monday, Christmas, Sale.
Custom templates can be searched by name too.

Brush edit: paint the part to change, keep the rest

Dylan Ngo — Sun, 18 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Select an image, press "Brush edit" on its toolbar, paint over the part to change and describe the change. Only the painted part changes; the earlier picture stays in History.

Brush, eraser, rectangle, lasso, brush size, edge softness, invert, show/hide the painting, undo and redo.
Runs on GPT Image; other models cannot edit a painted area yet, so they are greyed out.

Browse and pick your Gavana canvases right inside ChatGPT

Dylan Ngo — Wed, 14 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT

With Gavana connected to ChatGPT or Claude, you can open your canvases, look through a board and pick images to keep working on without leaving the chat.

Ask to "open Gavana canvases": pick a workspace, filter private or shared, search by title, or start a new canvas.
Open a board to see its nodes where they are, and zoom and pan around it.
Select one or more images and choose Apply: make variations, use them as a reference, edit, or run a workflow. ChatGPT tells you the cost before generating.
Images, videos and generation progress show as cards right in the reply.

What's new: see new features right inside Gavana

Dylan Ngo — Thu, 08 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT

The "What's new" row at the bottom of the sidebar collects the changes you can see, grouped by product area.

When something new ships, the "What's new" row shows a dot. Opening the page clears it.
Pick an area on the left (Canvas, Generation, …) to see only that area's updates.
It is there in the library, inside a Canvas, and on Admin.

Let your workspace make images on your ChatGPT plan

Dylan Ngo — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Open your computer to workspaces you own or administer: their members can make images on it, on your ChatGPT plan, without a ChatGPT plan of their own.

In Settings → AI connections, click "Choose workspaces…" on your computer and tick the workspaces to open it to.
Members pick "GPT Image (ChatGPT plan)" under the "ChatGPT plan" tab when they make an image on a Canvas. The images use your ChatGPT plan, with no Gavana credit.
Opening a computer to a workspace lets its members make images on it, not chat.

Watch agents work right on your Canvas

Dylan Ngo — Tue, 06 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT

When Claude, ChatGPT, Codex or another agent connected through MCP edits a Canvas, its cursor moves to the node it is working on, labeled with what it is doing.

The label reads like "Claude · Generating an image". Each kind of agent has its own color, and the node it is editing is outlined.
Between steps the label shows a playful word such as "Whisking…" while the agent thinks.
The agent shows as a member in the Canvas avatar bar.
When it works off screen, a corner chip says "Claude is working"; click it to jump there and follow along.
Everyone else on the same Canvas sees the agent's cursor too.

Make images on your ChatGPT plan, from your own computer

Dylan Ngo — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Connect a computer with Codex to Gavana, then pick "GPT Image (ChatGPT plan)" under the "ChatGPT plan" tab when you make an image on a Canvas. The image is made on your computer, on your ChatGPT plan, with no Gavana credit.

To add a computer: in Settings → AI connections, click "Add computer" and run the command Gavana gives you on that computer. Codex on it must be signed in with ChatGPT.
When it is ready, AI connections says "Images on my ChatGPT plan: ready". If your computer is not ready, for example offline or Codex not signed in, the "ChatGPT plan" tab says why.
With this model the aspect ratio is only a hint.

Make Gavana yours with an accent color and a wallpaper

Dylan Ngo — Mon, 05 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Open Appearance at the bottom of the sidebar to pick one of 6 accent colors and 4 wallpapers, or use a picture from a Canvas as your wallpaper.

On a Canvas, hover a picture and click "Set as wallpaper" in the toolbar above it.
Settings → Preferences has the same choices. They are saved on this device.
The Canvas board keeps a neutral background, so image colors stay true.

Create images in Studio, right in a chat

Dylan Ngo — Fri, 02 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Open Studio in the sidebar, describe what you want and get one to four images without opening a Canvas. Every image is saved to Assets.

Pick a model, an aspect ratio and how many images, then click "Generate". Each chat keeps its own images.
Click "Add to canvas" on an image to put it on a Canvas you can edit.

Preview an earlier version before you restore it

Dylan Ngo — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

In Version history, an earlier version opens over the board, read only. The board changes only when you click "Restore this version".

Open it from the Canvas sidebar: click the Gavana mascot at the top left, then "Version history".
Before restoring, Gavana saves the current Canvas as a version, so you can always go back. If it cannot save, it asks you first.
Click "Back to current" to leave the preview.

View assets full screen and download many in one ZIP

Dylan Ngo — Tue, 29 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

In Assets, click a picture to open it full screen. Select several and click "Download": you get one ZIP instead of one file at a time.

Full screen, ← and → move between pictures and Esc closes.
Shift-click selects a range; Cmd/Ctrl-click adds or removes one.

Save a workflow as a template and rerun it with new input

Dylan Ngo — Mon, 28 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Select a workflow that has run, right-click and choose "Save as template". Next time, replace the input and get new results without rebuilding the steps.

Open your templates on any canvas: the + button in the toolbar → "Templates".
Replacing one input reruns only the steps it feeds.

Upscale an image with AI

Dylan Ngo — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Select an image on a Canvas, open "Tools" and choose "Upscale" for a bigger, sharper copy at ×2 or ×4. The new image appears beside it and the original stays as it is.

Best for blurry or small images. On logos, text and flat artwork AI can leave halos; "Resize" is safer there.

Use your own AI key and see what it costs in Overview

Dylan Ngo — Thu, 24 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Save an OpenAI, Google Gemini or BytePlus key in Settings → AI connections to make images on your own account. Overview shows what you made, what it cost and who paid.

Your own working key pays first for that provider's images. If it runs out or is rejected, a key shared in the workspace can pay instead; when no saved key works, Gavana tells you to top up, re-test or replace it in AI connections.
Key-paid cost shows as an estimate (≈) from Gavana's rate card; the real amount is on your provider's bill.
Open Overview at the top of the library sidebar. The workspace owner also gets an "Organization" tab with every member's numbers.
