Changelog

March 26, 2025

Fixed an issue preventing the HTML Drag and Drop API from functioning properly on Chrome when users had the chat and canvas displayed side-by-side.
- Example: Visit poe.com/Chibify and drag an image into the app to test.

Added better support for libraries that use Web Workers and WebAssembly, making it easier to build more powerful applications with less friction.
- Previously, using these libraries triggered a confirmation message that required users to allow access to external resources. Now these libraries work directly without the confirmation prompt.
- Examples of supported libraries include:
  - Pyodide: Run Python code within your canvas apps (example app: https://poe.com/PyodideCodeEditor)
  - PDF.js: Create apps that analyze PDFs (example app: https://poe.com/PDFAnalyzerExample)
  - HEIC2any: Convert HEIC images to standard formats. This is particularly useful for iPhone photos (example app: https://poe.com/HeicToJpegExample)
Improved UI lag in long chats with App Creator via frontend rendering optimizations

App Creator can now incorporate the following bots into its apps by default without explicit user instruction:
- Text: Claude-3.7-Sonnet, GPT-4o, GPT-4o-mini, o3-mini, Gemini-2.0-Flash
- Image: FLUX-pro-1.1, FLUX-schnell, remove-background, Bria-Eraser, TopazLabs
- Video: Runway, Veo-2
- Audio: ElevenLabs, PlayAI-Dialog

Improved App Creator’s ability to stream responses from text bots immediately into the app rather than waiting for the bot response to finish.
Added monthly user counts in Canvas app details

You can now upload images as attachments directly to App Creator and use them in your app, making it easier to customize your app’s design and experience (Example).

Opening existing chats with canvas on mobile web now displays the canvas view by default, rather than the chat view.

App Creator will now use vanilla Tailwind CSS for styling by default, rather than Flowbite.
- Improves output quality (especially for dark mode styling) as well as app loading speed.

Enabled Claude 3.7 Sonnet’s “thinking” capability by default for App Creator to improve performance. The default thinking budget is 4096 tokens.
Improved App Creator’s ability to better handle Markdown responses from bots in created apps.
