Changelog
New updates and improvements.
Shareable Profiles
In our last update, we introduced user profiles. You can now share your profile URL (e.g., https://gptengineer.app/@fabian) to showcase your creations with others!
Other users can also visit your profile by clicking on your username in the latest project view.
Add Custom Knowledge
You can now add custom knowledge to your project that will provide GPT Engineer with any additional context it might need.
This could include documentation on a specific library or any other important guidelines. By doing so, you ensure that GPT Engineer has all the relevant information to deliver the best results.
You will find the “Manage knowledge” option in the project settings.
”Edit with GPT Engineer” Badge Removed for PRO Users
By popular request, we’ve removed the “Edit with GPT Engineer” badge from published deploys for PRO users.
If you want this change to apply to existing deploys, simply redeploy your project.
Smaller Bugs / Improvements
- Improved Prompt: The prompt has been updated to reduce laziness that can introduce unwanted placeholders.
- Supabase Integration Fixes: We’ve resolved issues where the Supabase integration could get stuck, adding reliability.
Let Us Know What You Think
We’re always eager to hear your feedback. To reach us, you can:
We made #1 Product of the day & week. It took us by surprise. We scrambled to add an ‘alpha’ label to GPT Engineer, and we heard loud and clear signals we were onto something people wanted.
But that was just the beginning. Since that surprise hunt, we’ve personally onboarded hundreds of users from our waitlist, and relentlessly iterated based on it.
This wasn’t just about polishing rough edges; we’ve been experimenting with the very core of GPT Engineer. We tried multiple agentic AI architectures, combinations of LLM models, and abstractions to interface with models, edit code, and provide the iterative feedback loop needed to build real apps in real time.
The goal? To strike a balance between speed and reliability, give seasoned developers a tool to turbocharge productivity, integrate with workflows they love, while lowering the barrier to entry for anyone to create software.
Graduating from alpha to beta
We’re really proud of where GPT Engineer is today. In our latest iterations, we’ve found that founders, CTOs, product engineers, and maintainers of internal tools are able to build front-end & ship software faster than ever before. With that, we’re graduating from ‘alpha’ to ‘beta’.
The move to beta is more than a label change. Generating a new front-end takes on average 15 seconds, to go from prompt to prototyped. Edits take on average seconds — not yet WYSIWYG — but quick enough to stay in flow while iterating towards a viable product. Errors can be auto debugged by AI. Deploying takes a single click. We’ve made huge strides in both reliability, and capabilities.
In part, we’ve been able to achieve this by being opinionated in GPT Engineer’s tech stack. Front-end is built React, Tailwind & Vite. GPT Engineer can integrate directly with Supabase & OpenAPI specification backends, but for now we recommend using it to build front-end, and taking over in your IDE from there (everything syncs with GitHub, two-way).
Join the waitlist & shape the roadmap
The beta still has a waitlist, but if you’re a founder, product engineer, CTO, or internal tool builder — get in touch for immediate access, and be part of shaping the next phase of GPT Engineer to your needs.
We’re committed to a future where anyone can build software, and we believe this is just the beginning.
We’re excited to have you all along for the journey.

We’re always happy to hear any feedback you have. To reach us, you can:
Faster Edits
We’ve significantly enhanced the editing experience, making it faster and more responsive, especially for smaller, granular edits.
View Changes in Realtime
With every edit, a loading indicator will now appear in the chat, which you can click to view real-time changes to your files. This feature offers immediate feedback, helping you track modifications as they happen.
Subscriptions
We’ve updated our pricing. Free users now get 10 free edits per day, while PRO users receive 100 daily edits included in their $19/month subscription. For more details, visit our subscription page. Additionally, PRO users can now make private projects.
Tip: If you’re a PRO user and want to set all your new projects to private by default, you can do so in your profile under Settings.
User Profiles
We’ve introduced user profiles, allowing you to set your username, location, and other personal details. Claim your unique username before someone else does!
Renaming Projects
You can now easily rename your project by navigating to Settings -> Rename Project. Please note that this will not change the name of your GitHub repository.
Small Fixes
- All GitHub projects will now default to being private.

A new Lovable
We’ve just upgraded our website, including adding this blog. Expect to hear more from the team on upcoming features, deep dives, and behind the scenes sneak peeks.
Redesigned Task Interface
We’ve revamped the way we show cards to unify progress indicators and edit options into a single task card. This new design simplifies tracking your ongoing tasks.
Stop Button Added
You can now halt any active task running in the background by clicking the stop button located in the input area. This feature aims to reduce stress when you need to stop an agent that is off track or using an approach you disagree with.
Shadcn as the Default UI Component Library
Shadcn is now the default design system for new projects. However, if you prefer the look and feel of Chakra UI, you can still select it through the advanced settings.
Let us know what you think
We’re always happy to hear any feedback you have. To reach us, you can:
UX Revamp
We have completely revamped the design of the homepage and editor. More updates are on the way!
New agent flow
We have been building and testing a more “agentic” flow that should feel more conversational, flexible, and in the long term also more resilient that our “classic” flow. Prefer the classic method? No problem—you can easily opt out in Settings before starting a new project. Note: Once you create a project using a given modality, you cannot change the modality.
Page selector
You can now preview any page directly by selecting it from our newly added page selector dropdown.
Images in prompt
Guide GPT Engineer’s responses more effectively by attaching images to your prompts. Try it with a mockup or color theme today!
Note: For best results, make sure you reference the image in the prompt so that the agent uses it in the desired manner.
## NPM Packages
Now, adding advanced features like graphs, drag & drop, and maps is easier. GPT Engineer automatically installs the NPM packages your will need for this.
Contacting us
We’re always happy to hear any feedback you have. To reach us, you can:
You can now use GPT Engineer to build a frontend that will work with an existing backend services, by specifying your API’s OpenAPI specification URL in the project settings. Once you do this, GPT Engineer will become aware of your backend’s capabilities and take this into consideration when iterating on the frontend.
Expanded support to new Tech Stacks
Have you ever wanted to create a project using Tailwind? We’ve now introduced support for additional tech-stacks beyond React + Chakra UI, including:
- Tailwind with React
- Simple HTML
- Tailwind & Daisy UI
Choose your stack in the Advanced Settings before initiating a new project generation.
New foundation model integration
Accelerate your project builds with our new integration of the Claude 3 Haiku model — expect gains in speed and efficiency.
