Gaia 3.0 - UI Layouts, Canvas, and Portal Experience

The output of an agent is not always a paragraph. Sometimes the right output is a layout, a preview, a canvas, an embedded chat surface, or a visual state that helps people understand what will happen next.

With Gaia 3.0, visual and embedded experiences became more capable.

The Problem: Visual Work Needed Product-Grade Surfaces

As Gaia agents moved beyond text-only responses, the platform needed better ways to represent structured visual output and embedded channel behavior.

That meant improving:

• how agents draft and preview layouts,
• how canvas output is persisted and reopened,
• and how portal and embedded experiences can be configured for end users.

Gaia 3.0 made those surfaces more mature.

Layout Intent Became a First-Class Request

What shipped

Gaia 3.0 added UI layout intent routing with inline responses, artifact templates, component help, and support for checkboxes, switches, radio groups, customizable data tables, text decoration controls, and improved layout access checks.

Why this matters

Users often describe the interface they need in plain language. Layout intent routing gives Gaia a better way to interpret those requests and produce structured UI artifacts that can be inspected and refined.

Canvas Artifacts Made Visual Output Durable

What shipped

UI layout canvas artifacts can now be built and previewed directly in Gaia with persistence, a dedicated reopen flow, workflow tracking, validation, conversation UI integration, and grading support in evaluation trials. Mobile also gained dedicated Messages and Canvas tabs with a more responsive canvas experience.

Why this matters

Visual output should not disappear into a chat transcript. By treating layouts as durable artifacts, Gaia can support review, iteration, and evaluation around generated interfaces.

Portal and Embedded Experiences Became More Configurable

What shipped

Gaia 3.0 added portal embed script generation for text channels, smarter URL pattern normalization, portal frame previews, custom portal chat bubble images, minimized launcher unread badges, portal chat window sizing and expansion controls, configurable chat close confirmation, and terms and privacy messages in portal interfaces.

Why this matters

Embedded chat is often the front door for an end user. Portal improvements make that front door easier to preview, brand, configure, and operate without losing the underlying conversation model.

Conversation Presentation Got More Polished

What shipped

Conversation screens received improved loading, critical loading mode, theme and background controls, preview mode, richer theme previews, markdown styling improvements, better overflow handling, improved accessibility, and more stable message presentation.

Why this matters

When AI interactions become operational, presentation details affect trust. Readable messages, reliable previews, and consistent embedded behavior help users understand what the system is doing.

Why This Is a 3.0 Shift

Gaia 3.0 gives visual work a stronger home. Layouts, canvases, portals, previews, and embedded chat controls now participate more directly in the product's operating model.

That makes agents more useful for building and refining experiences, not only generating text about them.
