Telex updates: from napkin sketch to WordPress block (and more)

When we launched Telex in August, we invited everyone to experiment with creating AI-powered blocks.

Since then, thousands of you have built blocks, shared feedback, and taken the tool in directions we didn’t expect.

That enthusiasm has kept us going. Here’s what’s new.

1. Show Telex what you want to build

You can now upload reference images when describing your block. A Figma mockup. A screenshot of a design you like. A napkin sketch.

Upload it next to your prompt and show Telex what you imagine.

This helps most with complex layouts – or when you’re aiming for a specific aesthetic. Instead of writing a detailed description of how each element should be arranged, you can simply show it.

A picture is worth a thousand prompt words, or so they say.

2. Work in your favorite editor and then come back

One of our most requested features – editing blocks outside of Telex – is here.

Download your block, open it in VS Code, Cursor or whatever you want (we won’t start that discussion) and make your changes. Then upload the zip back to Telex to continue refining with AI.

This return workflow bridges AI generation and traditional development. It’s still early days – we’ll continue to improve it.

3. Discover previous versions without risk

Version history now works better. When you restore a previous version, Telex creates a new version instead of overwriting your current work.

This means you can explore previous iterations, compare approaches, and restore what you deleted three prompts ago.

Your past mistakes are now just research. Or as we call it: iterative development.

4. Telex speaks your language

Telex is now available in 7 languages ​​so you can create blocks and experiment.

We also fixed an issue where Japanese, Chinese, emoji, and other multi-byte characters were not streaming correctly.

5. Small improvements that add up

We’ve also released some smaller fixes:

• Dynamic page titles: Juggling multiple blocks on different tabs? The page title now matches your selected project.

• Save confirmations: Manual code edits now display a “Files updated” message. You always know that your changes have been implemented.

• Shorter share links: Cleaner URLs that are easier to pass.

• Changelog page: Do you want to stay informed of every update? We now have one special changelog. They’re like release notes, but we actually write them.

Keep experimenting

Telex is a living experiment. Your feedback determines where things go.

Turn up a block. Try the image upload. Tell us what works and what doesn’t – in the comments or via the in-app feedback form.
