Nowa 3.9: A fully rebuilt AI system

Nowa 3.9 is our most powerful release yet. 🚀 It's the first version where building complex, top-tier apps with AI feels genuinely easy and efficient — powered by a fully rebuilt AI system and real in-app compiling with App Run. Together with a refreshed layout and a long list of improvements, this is where you can confidently build world-class apps, no matter the complexity, faster and easier than ever.

📋 Check all the details of this release in the changelog.

New in This Version ✨​

  • 🤖 A Fully Rebuilt AI System We rebuilt our AI from the ground up into a multi-agent system, where several subagents work on your project in parallel — coordinating to plan, build, and refine your app at the same time. The result is exceptional UI/UX out of the box, complex logic built reliably even across large projects, smooth handling of external pub.dev packages (including any platform-file setup), and smart context fetching that reads exactly what's needed without over- or under-reading. Because it's so efficient, you get far more done per credit than ever before. This is the first version of our AI you can fully rely on for any use case.

  • 🗺️ Smarter Planning Mode Planning mode now presents a clear, readable plan that anyone can follow — no technical skills required — and it's much better at matching what you actually want to build before any work begins.

  • ▶️ App Run — Compile & Run Inside Nowa You can now compile and build your app directly inside Nowa. When you play your app, Nowa compiles and runs it for real — exactly as it'll behave on deployment, including every pub.dev package, custom code block, and native part. In other words: what you see in App Run is what you'll ship.

  • 🎬 App Preview Is Back — Now on the Board Many of you loved the instant play experience, so we brought it back and made it even more convenient. Just hover over any screen on the board and hit the play button to run your app right where you're working — no extra steps, no switching views.

  • 🎨 A Fresh, More Intuitive Layout We reworked the interface to make building more enjoyable and easier to navigate:

    • New Assets panel for uploading and managing your assets.
    • Outline moved to the left side, giving you a cleaner workspace.
    • A dedicated code editor — click the <> icon in the top right to open the full code panel, and every change compiles automatically.
    • Files merged into code editing — the separate Files panel is gone; everything now lives in one place alongside your code.
    • New deployment UI with more detail and easier management.
    • New settings page — a cleaner, more organized home for your project settings.
    • Smarter logs that cover both App Run and preview, for full visibility into what's happening.

  • 🎁 Invite a Friend, Get 15 Credits Each You can now refer a friend to Nowa. When they sign up, you both receive 15 free credits — and with the new AI system, those credits go a long way.
