What ships,
and when.

VÆST improves in the open. Every release, tagged and dated — new capabilities, sharper craft, and the fixes in between.

VÆST 3.2
July 2026
Current

Three minds, one taste

  • Improved
    From four engines to threeThink folds into Galdr, the mind you think with. The same engine that sparks the first idea now returns on the finished draft to push it braver. One mind for the whole conversation, from blank page to last edit — and still a different engine from Odin, who writes, so the second opinion stays honest.
  • Improved
    Galdr · Odin · Norrsken — the mind you think with, the hand that writes every word, the last light before it ships. One writes; the others only ever push. That separation is why a VÆST document keeps a single voice.
  • Improved
    Odin steps up — Crystallize now runs on a more capable engine, sharper synthesis at the same speed and the same price.
VÆST 3.1
July 2026

For every room

  • New
    Recast — one document, reshaped in a tap: a one-pager, an exec summary, board-ready, or the whole thing in Thai or English. Type any target; Odin rewrites it in your voice into a new canvas tab, the original kept.
  • New
    Brief now sees — attach moodboards, graphic work, even a video, and VÆST reads their style (mood, palette, typography, pacing) into the brief.
  • New
    Taste memories you hold — write your studio's rules in plain words, pin what matters, and let VÆST distill what it's learned into memories you keep. The moat, made yours.
  • New
    Saved ideas from the Idea room are now real Crystallize sources — ✚ Save, then pick them into any document. And a fresh idea invites its decision: Rewrite or Approve.
  • Improved
    Organise by dragging — pull any Recent or saved .md straight onto a project. Documents export with a dated, addressed cover; decks follow your pinned chapters.
  • New
    VÆST on your desktop — a lean native macOS app that stays current on its own.
VÆST 3.0
July 2026

Three ways in

  • New
    Three ways to workIdea (think out loud), Brief (VÆST interviews you until the brief is airtight), and Crystallize (notes and files into one document) — switchable from the rail.
  • New
    Match a reference in Brief — paste a brief whose shape you admire and yours takes it: same sections, same tone, your content.
  • New
    Mimir · the counsel — Think becomes its own mind, deliberately separate from the one that writes. It reads each section and pushes back; you approve, Odin writes. And the Idea room now holds several topic chats — each one a source for Crystallize, each saveable as .md.
  • New
    Galdr · Odin · Mimir · Norrsken — four engines, each named for the old north, each with its own character and version. One flow of taste.
  • New
    PresentNorrsken, the apex engine, lands the finished document as an on-brand deck, landscape or portrait, ready to save as PDF.
  • New
    A full site — Concept, Features, Product, Developers, Company — and a home at vaest.orions.agency.
  • Improved
    Monochrome geometric sigils and a unified night-prismatic identity across the app and the site.
  • Improved
    Resilience — Refine and Present fall back automatically if a model is briefly unavailable, so a pass never dead-ends.
  • Security
    Per-account row-level isolation — your workspace is yours alone. Usage and error logs are server-only.
  • Fixed
    The password-reset link now opens the set-password screen reliably, and branded auth emails replaced the plain defaults.
VÆST 1.1
June 2026

It becomes yours

  • New
    Taste memory — every approve and skip quietly biases the next suggestion, remembered per project.
  • New
    The client loop — share a read-only link, collect per-section comments, and turn a note into the revision with Apply with VÆST.
  • New
    Think — a senior-creative provocation pass that pushes the work braver, each point anchored to the exact line.
  • New
    Settings hub — persona (Standard · Formal · Playful), reply-language lock, private-session mode, profile and avatar.
  • Improved
    Multi-canvas — distinct deliverables split into their own tabs, each editable on its own.
  • Improved
    A usage meter and fair-use quota so cost never surprises you.
VÆST 1.0
May 2026

The instrument

  • New
    The document canvas — brief and files become one sharp, sectioned, editable document. Not a chat — a deliverable.
  • New
    Refine — a holistic taste audit for inconsistency, redundancy and logic, approve one point at a time.
  • New
    Vision — moodboards reach the model as real images, so palette, type and composition actually inform the work.
  • New
    Versions, word-by-word diff, 30-step undo, and a 30-day trash — nothing good is ever lost.
  • New
    Export to Word, PDF and rich text.
