Flex AI now uses fewer credits and builds faster

November 2026

Since early October, we’ve made a series of under-the-hood changes to Flex AI. The same work now uses about half the credits it did in September, and Flex AI finishes it about a quarter faster. Your credits go further, and you spend less time waiting.

What’s changed:

Fewer credits per edit: a typical change to your canvas costs about half what it did in September.
Faster edits: each change takes about a quarter less time.
Larger builds finish sooner: a multi-section build that took 8–9 minutes now takes 5–6.

There’s nothing to turn on. These improvements apply to every Flex AI conversation automatically. Prompt the way you normally do, and you’ll see your credits last longer.

Flex

Feature

Import from Illustrator

November 2026

A lot of great work starts in Adobe Illustrator. Until now, getting it into Flex meant exporting assets one at a time and rebuilding the layout by hand. You can now import your Illustrator designs into Flex and pick up where your design team left off.

Good for:

Campaign pages and one-pagers designed in Illustrator
Infographics, diagrams and illustrations
Brand artwork your team has already made

To import, in your Ceros Admin click "Create > Import", select Flex, then Illustrator.
Once it's in, your design is regular Flex content, so you can edit it, add interactions and animation, and publish it like anything else you build.

Ceros MCP

Hey Claude, build a landing page with the context from our chat.

Done. Flex AI built a 3-page launch experience in your Campaigns folder.

Beta

Ceros MCP (Beta)

November 2026

You can now work on your Flex experiences by chatting with Claude. The Ceros connector lets Claude find your experiences, build new ones with Flex AI, apply brand kits and publish, all without opening Flex. When you want to fine-tune the design, Claude hands you a link straight into Flex.

Things you can ask:

"Find the Q4 product launch experience."
"Create a 3-page product tour for our new headphones, in the Campaigns folder."
"Here's our product one-pager and logo: build a launch page from them."
"Apply the Acme brand kit to the gift guide, then publish it."

What you need:

A Claude plan that supports custom connectors
A Ceros account with Flex, using your usual login
Beta access on your account

Good to know: Claude can only see and change what you already can in Ceros. Building with Flex AI uses your Flex AI credits, and Claude checks with you before it publishes anything. The beta is enabled per account, so contact your Customer Success Manager to join.

Setup steps and troubleshooting are in the Ceros MCP developer docs.

Feature

Admin & Analytics Redesign

November 2026

Admin now uses the same design system as Flex, so your whole Ceros workspace looks and feels like one product. Everything you already do works the same way, just cleaner.

Dark mode. Switch Admin to dark mode, and it stays that way across sessions.
A refreshed Analytics view. Easier to read how your experiences are performing
Start with AI up front. New “Start with AI” tiles at the top of the homepage make it quicker to start building with Flex AI.
A cleaner, more consistent interface. New fonts, buttons, menus and date picker, a brighter Create button, and tighter spacing throughout.

What do you think of the Admin and Analytics redesign?

Good or bad, your vote helps us decide what to change next.

Thanks for your feedback.

PDF

Export any experience as a PDF

Feature

Export to PDF

November 2026

Sometimes a link isn’t enough. Clients want something to download, legal and compliance teams need a document to review, and RFPs need a leave-behind. You can now export any Flex experience as a polished, printable PDF without rebuilding it somewhere else. Flex stays your single source of truth.

How to export:

In Flex: File > Export as PDF
In Admin: click the three-dot menu on an experience, then Export > PDF

What you get:

Export drafts as well as published work
Selectable text, crisp graphics and one PDF page per experience page
Background processing, so you can keep working

Good to know: PDFs are static. Interactions and hidden content aren’t included, and animations show in their final state.

Feature

Rulers and Grids

October 2026

Rulers: Show rulers along the top and left edges of the canvas so you can see exactly where each element sits, in pixels. Enable in the File menu > View > Show Rulers (or keyboard shortcut Shift+R).

Grids: Keep margins consistent and line up content across sections without measuring by eye.

Select your breakpoint on the canvas (i.e. Desktop), then add a Grid in the right-hand inspector panel.

Feature

Studio to Flex Conversions, Now Credit-Free

October 2026

No AI involved: Converting a Studio experience to Flex no longer runs through AI. Your pages come across with their original layout, fonts, colors and spacing, the same way every time.

No credits used: Because the conversion doesn't use AI, it doesn't draw from your credit balance. Bring over one experience or your whole library without worrying about usage.

Move your existing Studio work into Flex and keep building from where you left off. Find the "Convert to Flex" button when you hover over a Studio experience in your Admin.

Try it now

Feature

Image Masking & Improved Crop

October 2026

Better cropping: You crop directly on the canvas, and the original image is never changed. You can go back and reframe a crop anytime, and see a preview before you apply or cancel it. Thank you for your feedback on the shortcoming of the original crop tool, which led to these improvements! Learn more

Shape masks: Put an image or video inside an oval, rectangle, triangle, star or hexagon. Select an image and in the right-hand inspector → Mask → Add mask. Or select a shape and an image, right-click, and choose Mask. Masks don’t change the original file either, so you can edit or remove them later. Learn more

The result is more polished layouts with images, built faster, and one less reason to leave Flex.

Feature

Native Commenting in Flex

October 2026

Feedback no longer has to go through email, screenshots or a separate review tool. Reviewers can now comment directly on a Flex preview, pinned to the element they’re talking about, so every note stays attached to the work it’s about.

📌 Pin comments in context. Click any element in the preview to leave feedback right where it applies.
💬 Discuss in threads. Reply, @mention teammates, and add attachments to keep the whole conversation in one place.
✅ Close the loop. Resolve comments as you work through them. Email notifications let everyone know when something needs their attention.
🔒 Choose who can comment. Commenting is limited to people you’ve given commenter access, so feedback comes from the right reviewers.

The result is faster review cycles, fewer handoffs between tools, and approvals that happen in the same place the work does.

Feature

Noun Project Icons in Flex

September 2026

Add icons without ever leaving the editor. A new native integration with The Noun Project puts a huge, searchable icon library right in the Add content menu, so you can drop the symbol you need onto the canvas in seconds.

What it does:

Adds an Icons option to the Add content menu, alongside Sections, Components, and Pages
Searches the full Noun Project library by keyword, with no account to connect and no third-party tools
Inserts every icon as an editable SVG, so it stays sharp at any size across responsive layouts
Resizes and recolors like any other Flex asset, right from the Inspector Panel

Learn more

Any text element can now split into columns, with control over the gutter between them, so body copy reads like a magazine spread instead of stretching the full width of the page.

Feature

Text Columns

September 2026

Flow your copy into multiple columns inside a single text box. Text Columns bring an editorial, magazine-style layout to Flex, so long passages are easier to read and quicker to lay out.

What it does:

Splits the text in a single text box into multiple columns, with your copy flowing from one column to the next automatically
Lets you set the number of columns and the gutter spacing between them right from the Inspector Panel

Feature

New CMS Connectors: AEM, WordPress & Contentful

September 2026

Bring Ceros experiences into the tools you already publish with. Three new connectors let authors add interactive experiences to Adobe Experience Manager, WordPress, and Contentful directly, with no hand-rolled embed codes or external scripts.

What it does:

Adds native connectors for Adobe Experience Manager, WordPress, and Contentful, each built into that platform's own editor
Lets authors browse their Ceros account, pick an experience, and preview it in place, instead of copying embed codes between tabs
Gives control over delivery, with a choice of render modes to trade off freshness, offline resilience, and how each experience is served
Supports server-side rendering and local asset storage, so experiences can be read as part of your page and served without a runtime dependency on the Ceros CDN

Feature

Direct Integrations with Google Maps & Youtube

September 2026

Add interactive maps and videos straight to the canvas. Two new integrations let you drop in a Google Map or a YouTube video from the Integrations panel, then configure it in the Inspector, with no embed codes or API keys required.

What it does:

Adds Google Maps and YouTube tiles to the Integrations panel in Design mode, each dropping a ready-to-configure frame on the canvas
Google Maps: type a street address or place name and set a zoom level, with no API key, billing account, or domain allow-list needed
YouTube: paste a video URL and set autoplay, controls, mute, loop, and a start time, with support for privacy-enhanced URLs
Renders both live on the canvas, so you can check location, framing, and video while you build instead of waiting for Preview

Learn more

Feature

Public API

August 2026

Connect Ceros to your own systems and workflows. The new Public API lets your team access accounts, experiences, folders, and embed codes programmatically, so you can automate the work you used to do by hand.

What it does:

Opens programmatic access to core Ceros objects, including accounts, experiences, folders, and embed codes
Secures every request with API key authentication over a standard bearer token
Is versioned with timestamped releases, so you can pin a version and upgrade on your own schedule
Comes with full developer documentation and a version selector to browse each version's exact endpoints

Learn more

Feature

Animation Timeline

August 2026

See and shape your animation timing at a glance. The new Animation Timeline lays out every animation on your selected objects as bars across a time ruler, so you can adjust delays and durations by dragging instead of editing each one by hand.

What it does:

Adds a timeline panel at the bottom of the workspace in Animate mode, showing each animation as a bar with its delay and duration
Lets you drag bars to change delay, or drag either edge to change duration, with snapping to line animations up exactly

Plays, restarts, and scrubs animations right on the canvas with a draggable playhead
Stays in sync with the Inspector Panel, so edits flow both ways

Feature

User-Level Flex AI Credit Limits

August 2026

Account admins can now set a monthly Flex AI credit cap for any individual user. It puts per-person guardrails on your shared account pool, so one heavy user can't spend the credits the rest of your team is counting on.

What it does:

Lets admins set a monthly credit limit per user from the Ceros Admin, under Settings > AI Usage
Blocks a user from Flex AI once they hit their limit, with limits resetting on the first of each month
Shows a live progress bar of credits used against each user's limit, right in the user table
Enables blocking Flex AI to a user entirely, so you can roll Flex AI out to a small group first
Stays opt-in: every user starts with no limit, so nothing changes until an admin sets one

iFramless Embed

Feature

Embed a Flex Experience Inline

August 2026

Flex Inline places a published experience directly in your page without an iframe. It renders inside a Shadow DOM, a scoped section of the page that keeps its styles separate from the rest of your site while still being part of your page.

What it does:

Renders a published experience directly in your page, with no iframe
Scopes styles inside a Shadow DOM, so they stay separate from your site
Adds by pasting a div plus the inline client script
Hands analytics to your own page

Feature

Flex AI Custom Instructions

July 2026

Teach Flex AI how to build for your brand. Flex AI Instructions are freeform brand guidance stored inside a Brand Kit that capture the rules colors and text styles alone cannot, so Flex AI builds on brand every time.

What it does:

Adds a Flex AI Instructions tab inside each Brand Kit for freeform, written brand guidance
Captures the details styles can't, like how primary and secondary buttons should look, corner radius and padding, allowed color-token combinations, and photography or copy guidelines
Lets you reference colors and text styles by their Token IDs so Flex AI applies exactly the right ones
Applies automatically the next time Flex AI creates content in any experience using that Brand Kit
Save & Publish to make instructions active, or Save Draft to keep editing before they go live

Improvement

New Animation Presets

July 2026

Flex now includes more Studio-style animation options, so you can recreate common motion patterns without workarounds. It expands the built-in animation library and makes migrating animated Studio content into Flex a lot faster.

What it does:

Adds ten Studio-style animation types to Flex: Blur, Expand, Bob, Shake, Vibrate, Tada, Roll, Jello, Wobble, and Ken Burns
Lets you apply reusable presets instead of building every animation from scratch
Recreates familiar Studio motion patterns during a Studio to Flex migration with less manual setup

< / >

New SDK

Feature

SDK for Flex & Flex AI

July 2026

Build custom, interactive experience features with code, or let Flex AI write that code for you. The Flex Experience SDK lets a script find your on-canvas components and drive them, and Flex AI is now SDK-aware, so you can create logic and interactivity that standard interactions don't cover without hand-writing JavaScript.

What it does:

Gives you a full SDK surface (Locators, Data, Events, and the SDK Store) to find components and control them programmatically
Powers custom builds like calculators, multiple-choice and conditional-results quizzes, countdown timers, expandable FAQs, dismissible banners, custom video controls, and conditional page navigation
Lets Flex AI turn a plain-language description into working SDK code, always asking for your approval in chat, with a summary of the change, before updating or deleting anything
Stores code as labeled managed blocks in Settings > Custom HTML > Body HTML, where you can read, edit, or copy it anytime
Runs on the standalone preview (opens in a new tab) and on your published experience, so components that look inactive in the Flex workspace aren't broken

Feature

Share Flex Experiences

July 2026

Bring collaborators and stakeholders into your work directly from Flex. Click Share to invite teammates at the access level you choose, or turn on a public preview link so anyone can view your experience without a Flex account.

What it does:

Invites people to a specific experience by email or name, with Can Design (full editing) or Can Preview (view-only) access
Sets permissions per experience, so the same person can have different access on different experiences without changing their account role
Shares a public preview link that lets anyone view the experience in their browser without signing in
Keeps work-in-progress safe: public preview is view-only, and search engines and AI tools cannot index it

On View Triggers

June 2026

You can now trigger interactions when an element scrolls into view, so content can reveal, hide, or change state as it appears on screen. No new interaction types required.

What it does:

Adds a "View" trigger option to show/hide, group visibility, object states, and supported carousel interactions
Lets you set an optional delay when "View" is selected
Automatically cancels delayed actions if the element leaves the viewport before the delay completes
Works with your existing animation and transition settings, just a new way to trigger them

Feature

Flex AI 🤝 Educate

June 2026

What it does:

Answers product questions with accurate, up-to-date guidance pulled from Educate articles
Walks you through builds with interactive, step-by-step tutorials right in the chat
Helps you troubleshoot roadblocks by diagnosing issues and suggesting fixes in context

Feature

Flex AI can create and use your Brand Kit

June 2026

Flex AI can now build an account-wide Brand Kit for you from a URL, image, existing experience, or quick description, then automatically apply those colors, fonts, and styles to everything it creates.

What it does:

Builds a brand kit from a URL, image, existing experience, or a quick description
Auto-applies your brand colors, fonts, and styles to anything Flex AI creates after
Updates every linked element across your experience when you change a token

Improvement

Native Spell Check

May 2026

Native spellcheck now works inside editable text boxes in Flex, so typos get the familiar red underline as you type, without leaving the editor.

What it does:

Highlights misspellings while you edit text layers on the canvas
Uses your browser's built-in spellcheck across Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge
Works alongside normal text styling with no rendering conflicts

Improvement

Text & Animation Polish

May 2026

Two editor fixes that make text and animations behave the way you'd expect. Text with descenders like "g" and "y" now renders fully on the canvas, and animation timing fields accept values like "10s".

What it does:

Renders text fully when "fit content" is applied, so descenders no longer get clipped
Accepts time values like "10s" in animation delay and duration fields
Flags invalid timing inputs instead of silently reverting them

Feature

Asset Library

May 2026

Stop rebuilding the same buttons, headers, and feature blocks from scratch. Save logos, images, components, section, or anything on the canvas to your account's Asset Library and drop them into any Flex project in a couple of clicks.

Save reusable, on-brand, interactive and animated assets from your canvas
Organize, browse, search, and insert from one shared library
Permissions to control who can create vs. use saved items

Feature

Drop Zones

Works when moving elements into, out of, or between Flex containers
Works when reordering elements within a container

Account Level Brand Kits

April 2026

Brand Kits let you define your brand colors and text styles once at the account level, then reuse them across any Flex experience. No more recreating styles project by project.

How it works:

Create a Brand Kit with your color and text style tokens in the Theme & Styles Panel manager
Select a Brand Kit for any experience to apply your brand styles
When you update a Brand Kit, existing experiences aren’t changed until you choose to apply the update – no surprise changes

Brand Kits keep everyone on-brand without manual style policing.

Carousel & Slideshow Interactions

April 2026

Building carousels, tabbed content, and step-based flows in Flex just got a whole lot easier.

Previously, creating sequential or cycling content meant manually wiring show/hide rules for every element. Now, you can skip all of that with new group-based visibility interactions:

Cycle Next — Move forward through a group of elements.
Cycle Previous — Move backward through a group.

Just define a group of related elements, assign an interaction to a button, arrow, thumbnail, or any trigger, and it just works. State is managed automatically, wrapping is built in, and you don't have to worry about visibility logic breaking.

Whether you're building image carousels, slideshows, or multi-step flows, what used to take careful manual setup now takes a few clicks.

Improvement

New Effects: Blur, Ripple & Blur Background

April 2026

Three new effects just dropped in Flex to give you even more creative control over your designs.

Blur: Soften any element to create depth, focus, or a dreamy visual feel.
Ripple: Add a dynamic wave effect that brings motion and energy to your content.
Blur Background: Keep your foreground sharp while blurring what's behind it for a polished, layered look.

All three are available now in the Effects panel.
