What’s new in MONA

MONA learns how your studio works, on its own. The first time your team opens a chat, MONA asks a few short questions about how you like to work, then writes it down as your studio's own operating rules. Invited members answer for themselves. From then on it follows the rules automatically, no settings page to fill out.

Export any CAD plan as a real DWG or DXF file. If MONA drew or edited your floorplan, export it as an editable DWG or DXF and open it in AutoCAD, SketchUp, or whatever your studio already uses. DWG and DXF files also upload straight into chat and the Library, and doors on a CAD plan now carry a type: swing, double, sliding, pocket, bifold, garage, or open frame.

Pull a live SketchUp model straight into a project. Sync a SketchUp file in as a project's 3D source instead of re-uploading exports every time you make a change.

Clients can approve or comment right on your own site. If you use a custom designer site through MONA, clients can review, approve, decline, and comment on individual product cards directly on your branded page, no separate portal link to send.

Invoices got a full set of controls. Mark an invoice paid by hand when a client pays by Zelle, check, or cash, and MONA sends the receipt automatically. Preview an invoice, download it as a PDF, set a due date, add payment instructions, and void one when you need to. Invoices and purchase orders now generate on their own the moment a client approves and pays.

Projects match how your studio organizes work. Set your own project statuses instead of a fixed list, assign teammates to specific projects so people see what is theirs by default, filter to My projects, and show or hide archived projects in every picker.

Schedules got an organize bar. Trade categories and spec fields on every line, group by trade, per-trade export, saved views, a Shipping column with a freight tile on the Financial view, bulk status changes, and line archiving. Client approvals can be grouped by room or trade.

Live-data tables stay in sync. A tool built from an imported spreadsheet now reads its current rows every time, and the data lives in a database you can open.

Connect a shared Outlook mailbox. Studios on Microsoft 365 can connect a shared mailbox through a member's sign-in, and any connected inbox has a toggle for whether the assistant may draft replies in it.

A few smaller things. Pin your most-used chats to the top of the list. Chat rows show chips for owner, channel, and project, with an agent-run filter. Consecutive tool steps fold into one collapsible row. Ask the agent to start a new chat and it switches in place. Time entries can be edited and deleted by whoever logged them. Contacts can be archived or deleted. Products have an editable URL and a multi-image gallery. Saved tools are private by default and can be shared with named teammates. The Credits page breaks usage down by chat and scheduled task. Starter agent packs install from the Agents gallery. The Templates tab shows every saved template, contracts included. And the left sidebar is resizable, so long project names stop getting cut off.

This page. Every feature and fix now lands here, weekly, with an RSS feed at monaverse.com/changelog/rss.xml.

Fixes

• A client declining from the approval page marks the line Rejected, not Draft.
• Portfolio images imported during onboarding land in the Library instead of a fake project.
• Scheduled agent runs survive a full context, and crashed runs report what happened.
• Long URLs no longer clip the chat bubble.
• The Projects list Location column shows the address you typed.
• A teammate's expired mailbox connection no longer masks the live shared one.
• Resurrected chats show their whole history, and long chats open in seconds.
• Database cells no longer paint over frozen columns while scrolling.
• Back returns to the previous tab or list, not to the top of Projects.
• The agent confirms before creating a project or client, checked against what you actually said.
• The agent always replies from the number you texted.
• Google Sheets reads keep smart-chip values, let you choose the tab, and page long sheets.
• The agent can edit and delete estimates, and money tools see the whole studio's projects.
• Teammates can open a project's client portal.
• Plan changes and the billing portal are owner-only.
• The agent no longer narrates its own tool internals to you.

MONA can join your calls. Connect it to a Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams call and it shows up, takes notes, and hands you a summary when the call ends, same as the Notetaker but without you having to remember to start it. Say "hey Mona" during the call and it answers out loud, so you can ask it to pull up a number or check a client's history without touching your keyboard.

Text or call MONA directly. Every studio gets its own MONA phone number. Text it a question about a project and the agent replies with full context on your clients and schedules, no login required. Call it and talk to the same agent out loud. It is the fastest way to check something from a job site. Photos come back as MMS.

Contracts you can reuse. Save a contract template once, with every signer's fields already placed, and send it out again for the next deal in one click.

Get paid without sending an invoice. Ask MONA for a payment link for any amount and send it straight to a client. No invoice, no line items, just a link that collects the money.

MONA can draw a CAD plan, not just read one. Upload a floorplan and the agent used to just convert it. Now it can draw and edit the plan itself, so you can ask for a wall moved or a room added and see the change on the actual CAD drawing.

Build your own database inside MONA. Set up a Notion-style database for anything your studio tracks, with unlimited columns and a spreadsheet import to get it populated fast. The agent can read and write to it live, and databases render on the public share page and on mobile as cards.

Tasks and tables got sharper. Tasks sort by urgency everywhere, the Tasks screen is sortable, and the sidebar shows counts. Tables have a sticky header, a frozen first column, and reachable horizontal scroll. Project headers show every client and the job-site address, and an archived-projects toggle keeps old work out of the way.

A few smaller things. Slides exports straight to PDF. A new Markup Mode lets you draw on any screen in MONA and send the sketch straight to the agent. Share links come in view, comment, and edit tiers with an expiry date. You can save any render, document, or moodboard as a reusable template and reapply it in one click. MONA learns your timezone and schedules in it automatically. The Meetings agenda works across Google and Outlook calendars. Carrier tracking pulls from the carriers' feeds so order status stays current.

Fixes

• A chat poisoned by a bad image no longer dies for good, and a re-dispatched tool can no longer crash-loop a conversation.
• The agent's Library listing is team-scoped, like the Library itself.
• Library search covers Documents, Floorplans, and Presentations too.
• A Blank proposal actually creates a proposal, and an empty approved pull explains why.
• The agent no longer skips client approval on a schedule line.
• Big spreadsheet imports into a Database save again.
• Vendor product imports land even when an image fails, with a plain-words error on the card.
• The Pipeline view no longer hides vendors, and pickers are searchable and alphabetical.
• The task date picker no longer commits on month navigation, and completed tasks show where they should.
• The meeting recorder survives navigation, and bot recordings end when the bot leaves.
• The phone agent stops cutting the caller off mid-sentence.
• PDF exports work for titles with special characters and refresh an expired login before downloading.
• Hand-typed schedule lines can be sent for client approval, and their photos reach the approval list.
• Any team member can create and edit approval lists.

Contracts now handle the whole signing process. Upload any PDF, add one or more signers, and place signature, initial, date, and text fields right on the document. Your client signs from a simple link with no account needed, everyone gets the executed copy automatically, and MONA sends reminders until every signature is in. If a client wants changes, they can redline specific clauses and you can revise and resend without breaking their signing link.

Voice Mode is open to everyone. Talk to your agent instead of typing, on any plan. It replies while you are still talking so the conversation stays natural, and you can jump in from the composer on any chat page.

Slides is a real presentation and moodboard tool. Build a client presentation or a moodboard with a Canva-style editor, right inside MONA. Pick from five moodboard templates, ask the agent to fill in or adjust a slide while you work, and share the deck with a rotating link that never breaks.

Your CRM finally knows your clients. Contacts split cleanly into a sales Pipeline and a client Directory, each with board and table views. Vendor records carry freight terms, coupon codes, and trade type. Client records can hold property access notes and gate codes. MONA surfaces upcoming client birthdays and anniversaries so you never miss one.

Home opens with what actually needs you today. The Today band shows your schedule for the day and any client email still waiting on a reply, with attachments visible right there. Click through and it opens the real message in your own Gmail or Outlook.

Custom domains on every paid plan. Designer sites built in MONA can live on your own domain, no longer Studio only.

A few smaller things. Tasks has List, Board, and Timeline views with real dependencies, so moving one date can cascade the rest of the project. Schedules can be shared with a client as a live, read-only link with the financial view attached, and you can filter by room. Estimates has a studio-wide bid ledger with a vendor bid chase list and inline editing. MONA can infer billable time from your own activity in the app and hand you a review screen before anything posts, never automatically. You can connect multiple Google and Outlook inboxes at once. And the Credits page now shows a per-category usage breakdown, including agent chat.

Fixes

• The client portal always renders as a white page with black text, and the gallery remove button is no longer hidden behind the render.
• Schedule Summary totals include inherited card prices.
• Two people on the same team can no longer create duplicate projects.
• The public deck link shows the deck the designer built, and Present mode covers the app chrome.
• Sessions restore silently in the background. No more surprise logouts.
• Projects, Clients, contacts, and every picker page past 100 rows.
• Contacts got server-side counts, inline editing, profile fields, and co-clients on a project.
• Microsoft account connection no longer fails with a 403.
• Teammates' Library assets can be attached in chat, markup, and agent tools.
• Archiving a project removes it from the All table.
• Meeting recordings assemble correctly across long sessions.
• Designer sites serve the studio's own favicon on custom domains.
• Agent turns interrupted by model overload resume on their own.

Never lose a meeting again. The new Meeting Notetaker records client calls and in-person walkthroughs, transcribes live as you talk, and writes you a summary when it is done. Keep your own notes alongside the transcript while it runs, and every speaker shows up color-coded so you can tell who said what. If you use Granola, connect it once in Settings and your past and future transcripts flow into MONA automatically.

The MONA Web Clipper is live on the Chrome Web Store. Open it on any vendor product page and it pulls the image, title, price, brand, dimensions, and description straight into your MONA library in one click.

Share anything with one link. Chats, renders, and files can be shared as a clean public link, no login required on the other end. Send a client a read-only view of the exact conversation or render you are talking about instead of a screenshot.

Every schedule item keeps its history. See what changed on any line and revert with one click.

Download any document or plan as a PDF. Clean, paginated, print-ready. Slide decks print one slide per page with full-bleed backgrounds.

Fixes

• Downloading a file downloads it instead of opening it in the browser tab.
• Renders made in a chat show up in that chat's artifacts rail.
• The Library search box searches Products.
• A contact's page shows every project they are on, with an activity drill-down.
• Completed tasks can be edited, and task notes take multiple lines.
• Clicking a schedule row opens the product's detail page.
• A product with an AVIF image no longer kills the chat session.
• When a chat session ends unexpectedly you see an error instead of dead air.
• The Approvals product picker is scoped to the project's own schedule.

Publish a real website for your studio, right from MONA. Ask the agent to build you a site and it publishes to a live link in minutes. No template picker, no separate tool, no developer. It pulls from the same brand profile the agent already has for your studio, so the first draft actually looks like you.

Pin your schedule directly onto the floorplan. Open any plan image, drop a numbered pin anywhere on it, and attach the schedule item it refers to. Move a pin and the schedule updates with it. Hand a plan to a client or a contractor and every decision lives in one picture.

Talk to your team without leaving MONA. Team Chat is live. Message your team in channels right inside the app, so project talk stops scattering across email, texts, and screenshots.

See what you are working on while you chat. Ask the agent for a render, a document, or a plan and it opens next to the conversation instead of replacing it. Keep talking and watch your work update in real time in the same window.

A few smaller things. New signups get their first Instagram content drafted by the agent the same day they join. Notes and Documents live under one Docs tab. Comment automations can be edited or removed inline instead of rebuilt from scratch. And the agent itself got noticeably sharper this week.

Fixes

• Large image uploads are downscaled before the agent reads them, so oversized photos no longer fail a turn.
• Finished renders display inline in chat, and the Generating pill never sticks after a render completes.
• Export PDF leaves the editor toolbar out and prints cleanly.
• A failed product URL import tells you why instead of leaving an Untitled product.
• The FF&E schedule refreshes when you edit a library product.
• Chat text is selectable and copyable on iPhone.
• Accepting a team invite lands you in the app, not on the marketing page.

You now land somewhere built for you. Log in and you land on a home base, not a blank chat. It greets you with what changed since your last visit, puts a single box front and center to hand the agent your next task, and lists everything the agent is working on or waiting on you for, plus your most recent renders, drafts, and chats.

Region Edit, now without leaving the chat. The markup tool lives directly inside chat, so you can draw on an image, describe the fix, and keep the conversation going in one place.

One rich editor for every note and document. Client notes, project notes, and full documents share the same editor, and every save is versioned so you can always see what changed. Share anything with a public link, let clients and collaborators comment as guests, and export to Markdown or a clean PDF. Your Library filters by Documents, Clients, Projects, and Notes.

Build an Instagram carousel without leaving MONA. Upload your photos, drag to reorder, and ask the agent to touch up any single slide the same way you would a render. Write your caption and send it to the same Approve queue you already use for other posts.

Studio credits went up again. The Studio plan moved to 2,000 credits a month.

Quality of life. Stop the agent mid-task with one click, or cancel a render you no longer need. Search across every chat you have ever had. Upload PowerPoint and Markdown files straight into chat.

Fixes

• The New Contact modal no longer closes when you pick a Type or Stage.
• The app sidebar stays visible on Settings pages.
• The markup viewer fills the stage instead of showing a thumbnail.
• The document editor no longer wipes a body that had not finished loading.
• Floorplan to 3D uses a deterministic pixel scale, so room sizes come out consistent.

Run the entire project inside MONA. Send clients a proposal they e-sign in the browser, with your markup built in and the deposit collected up front. Approved items flow into your schedule, which now has a financial view with costs, markup, discounts, and totals. From there you can issue purchase orders, track orders through delivery, log your time, and bill against retainers. Every client gets one portal link where they see progress.

Region Edit is live for everyone. Lasso any part of a render, describe the change, and MONA edits just that region while the rest of the image stays untouched at full resolution. Attach a reference photo, select the placeholder chair, add the vendor's actual product shot, and tell it to replace this with this.

Your product library grew up. Every product has its own detail page, and you can filter and sort the library by furniture type. Product Image Swap lets you upload a better photo or paste a link, and it updates everywhere the product appears.

More credits on every plan. Monthly credit pools went up across the board on July 9. Floorplan generations are now completely free and never touch your pool.

Comments on renders. @mention teammates in a render comment and attach reference images to it.

A real home for your clients. The new Contacts section is a full CRM the agent maintains for you. Import a CSV, share a booking link or a contact form, or let the Client List Builder pull your client list straight out of Gmail. Client message threads live inside MONA too. The agent drafts replies for your review, and clients can simply reply by email.

Your studio's memory, visualized. Studio Brain has a browsable notes index, and the new Workspace Graph gives you an interactive map of every project, client, product, task, and note in your studio and how they connect. Projects have a Tasks board and a Timeline view the agent can manage, and chats can attach to projects.

Video, start to finish. Generate a video from any room design, cut it on the new timeline editor, apply a Reel template with styled captions, and publish straight to Instagram Reels.

Quality of life. Install MONA as an app on your phone or desktop, paste images into chat with Cmd+V, connect Todoist, Asana, Trello, and Dropbox, send a deck to Canva for final polish, browse the new Agents Gallery, upload Evernote exports, and get answers anytime at monaverse.com/help.

Fixes

• Region Edit keeps the full resolution of your render. It no longer downscales to 2048px.
• Bulk uploads show progress instead of a blank wait.
• Renders you create inside a project attach to that project.
• Onboarding saves every field you fill in, and website URLs are normalized before enrichment.
• Integrations are reachable from Settings on mobile web.
• Signing up or logging in from an invite link shows the accept-invite step.
• The presentation scraper finds hero images on trade-brand product pages.
• The Workspace Graph follows your light or dark theme.

Render Notes. You can now leave pinned comments directly on any render. Share a review link with a client or teammate, they open it in the browser, pin notes wherever they want on the image, and you resolve them in your inbox. The notes stay attached to the render so nothing gets lost.

Studio Brain. MONA now builds a knowledge base for your studio as you work. Clients and projects get their own pages, the agent fills them in from conversation automatically, and everything links together. If the agent mentions a client it creates the connection.

Video generation. Ask the agent to generate a video from any room design or reference and it will. You can trim and edit the result inside MONA and publish directly to Instagram Reels.

The agent is everywhere. Pull up the agent from any page in MONA and it knows exactly what you are looking at. On your schedule, it can update a line item. On a project, it can draft a note. On a client page, it can fill in their details.

Mona Social, open to everyone. The Marketing surface is live for every MONA account, with a calendar view of every scheduled and published post, a grid that previews how your feed will look before you post, and a composer you can use with or without the agent.

Client Approvals. Send clients a link where they approve or decline each item in a schedule, and export every decision to CSV.

Shareable decks. Ask the agent for a presentation and publish it to a public link your client opens right in the browser. No PDF attachments, no logins.

Floorplan to render in one click. Upload a floorplan and MONA takes it to 3D and then to a photorealistic render in a single step. The floorplan engine underneath was rebuilt, so walls and rooms parse far more accurately.

Project schedules. Projects now have a real FF&E schedule grid, and the agent can source vendor products directly into it for you.

A smarter agent. The agent runs on Claude's newest model, remembers your brand and your notes, and picked up voice dictation, recurring scheduled tasks, and inline image previews in chat.

Quality of life. iPhone HEIC photos upload everywhere, files up to 400MB, drag and drop anywhere in the app, Outlook joins Gmail as a connected email account, and you can upload images directly to your Library Images tab.

Fixes

• iPhone photos from iOS 18 now decode on upload instead of failing silently.
• Images you upload to chat render as images; the agent no longer treats them as files to open.
• A failed render no longer hangs the chat, and the working indicator clears the moment a render finishes.
• Decks publish reliably and shared decks render for the person you send them to.
• The Files tab previews image assets inline.
• The mobile menu opens the full sidebar, and the feedback pill no longer covers it.
