When a deployment fails, AI Builder reads the build logs, identifies the error, and proposes a fix in the chat. Low-risk fixes — type errors, missing imports, lockfile mismatches — are applied and redeployed automatically; anything ambiguous waits for your approval.
Ask AI Builder to draft an implementation plan before writing any code. Review and approve the plan upfront; toggle plan mode from the Builder chat or with Shift+Tab.
Share an AI Builder conversation via link — the full transcript, the generated code, and the resulting preview. Useful for asking for feedback or handing off work mid-session.
The store deployment flow is more flexible, with extended gating logic to support additional deploy scenarios. Cloning and onboarding also get more robust — image downloads handle failures gracefully, and onboarding falls back to a default generated store when the source site can't be scraped.
YNS now ships with multi-currency and translations. Stores can configure additional currencies alongside the base, with per-currency prices, automatic conversion rates, and a checkout flow that handles currency switching end to end. Every content surface — products, categories, collections, reviews, blog posts — is translatable inline, with AI-generated translations available as a tool you can invoke and per-entity override.
Connect a Shippo account to YNS and get live rates at checkout, label generation from the order page, and automatic tracking-number sync.
A new unified workspace for AI-powered operations — media generation, product operations, and batch edits. Image Studio (AI-powered product media) lands as the first tool inside Command Hub, with more to follow.
createInsight)openapi.json spec exposed, and an MCP server that lets the AI Builder call YNS API endpoints in code modeGET and POST endpoints for product reviewsFull design and responsiveness cleanup of the customer-facing account panel — orders, subscriptions, addresses, loyalty — all readable on mobile without reflow jank.
Three new REST endpoints land this release: AI image generation, image upload to the media library, and bulk product creation. These power upcoming admin UIs (Image Studio, bulk product entry) and are available for external integrations today.
AI Builder routes third-party API calls (Anthropic, FAL, and others) through Vercel Sandbox credential brokering, so raw keys never reach the sandbox environment — only short-lived tokens do.
Attach videos to product pages alongside images. Upload limits are raised to accommodate longer clips, and the player inherits the theme's aesthetic.
Generate short product videos from an image or description. Outputs land in the media library ready to attach to products or use in banners — a natural pair with the new product video support.
Kickstart a new store by pointing YNS at an existing website. The AI Builder scrapes products, copy, and imagery, then assembles a first-pass store you can refine.
A single keyboard-driven command palette spans the admin — products, orders, settings, store switcher, recent items — so navigation is one shortcut away from anywhere. The redesigned hub uses a table-based tab layout and Linear-style task statuses.
Manage AI credits per plan — monthly allotment, rollover rules, overage pricing. Credits show up in the billing page with a live balance and recent-usage breakdown.
The chatbot can pause mid-task to ask the merchant a structured question with preset options, rather than parsing free-form replies. Cleaner dialogue for multi-step flows.
AI Builder gets a file explorer and terminal view alongside the chat, with tabbed command logging in the terminal. Inspect the generated codebase, run commands, and debug without leaving the Builder.
Pick a competitor domain and get an audit of their on-page SEO — titles, meta, headings, schema. YNS highlights gaps where your store could catch up.
