What shipped in this release
On April 23, 2026, HeyWaii shipped a product-heavy release focused on reducing friction across creation and AI content workflows.
Create flow redesign
- Character creation moved from a denser setup flow to a faster, more direct path.
- The new structure is better suited for rapid concept validation and faster publishing.
AI image generation is now live
- The Create area now supports AI image generation workflows.
- This release connects character setup more directly to visual output.
Stability and availability work
- We fixed model availability issues caused by upstream instability.
- Free models were restored so low-cost validation and casual chat testing can continue.
Why this matters
This release shortens the path from creation to generation to distribution, which improves creator workflows, image-generation use cases, and first-time onboarding.
