Thumbnail Previews and the Easy Button

This week, we shipped four new features to help you move even faster in Blaze.

Thumbnail Previews

We made Blaze more visual to better serve the needs of your business. Now, every calendar tile has a thumbnail preview AND hover preview, so you can double check your content before it goes live.

Want to see a larger preview? Hover over any calendar card or table line item for 2 seconds, and the preview will pop up!

The Easy Button

Sometimes, you just need a shortcut.

So we built you one – next time you want to brainstorm, generate content, or design an Instagram post, just use the easy button to quickly get what you want.

We built this for you because our 'Create New' menu has grown to accommodate every small business need, which can feel overwhelming for some customers.

So, next time, you want to create something fast, just click "Make this easy for me" under the main create menu on your Home screen!

One-Click Copy and Download Post Content

Now you can export your content from Blaze in one click – copy your text and download your images to easily transfer your content onto another platform.

Calendar View File Menu

Want to get more done in less time?

Now you can move, copy, share, and delete directly from your project's calendar view by right clicking on any file.

  • Improved account connection refresh messaging
  • Updated onboarding flow that walks users through workspace setup

Introducing the Blaze AI Designer

Today marks a step change for Blaze’s capabilities. Introducing the Blaze Designer, a first-in-class, AI-native visual studio that creates beautiful, one click content in your unique brand style in seconds.

Create 60+ new types of visual content: Instagram posts, product shots for online marketplaces, profile pictures, and so much more, with AI generated images and captions, all in your brand style. Start from thousands of professionally designed templates in Blaze or build your own.

Best of all, have Blaze schedule and post up to one month's worth of content automatically for you, straight to your social accounts.

1. Meet your new visual content wizards

Open the create new menu to see all the visual content options.  Select your platform, template, and topic then sit back and watch the magic.

If you are a current user, don't worry: we have not changed the existing text-based wizards that you use in your workflows today so you can ease into using the Designer.

2. One-click brand styles pulled from social

Creating your brand style is as easy as logging into your social account.  Blaze will analyze your feed and automatically set up your brand style in a flash.

3. AI designer gives you full control

Add your logo, stickers, text, and custom colors on a powerful canvas that will create your caption, too.

4. Templates for every small business

Ecomm sale?  We got it.  Real estate post?  No problem.  Life coach focused on relational health for married couples?  There's something here for you, too.

5. Image tools that do the work for you

Make iphone snaps look like studio work.  Remove backgrounds.  Change opacity.  Add a border.  Put your best foot forward with the image tools in Blaze.

Calendar Control

We just added more control over scheduling options in multiple post content wizards.  Now you can define custom posting cadences and even select specific posting times to make your calendar planning even faster.

This feature is available in all multiple post wizards: Blog, IG, X, LI, and FB.  On the final screen of the wizard, select the "Let me pick my days" option to customize your scheduling.

Turn one piece of content into 50

This month, we're excited to announce two new features that will help you get more organic traffic and attract more customers: Turn Into and One-Click Wizards. 🎉

With 'Turn Into,' you can turn any file into 50+ pieces of original content. So take those videos and podcasts you worked so hard on, and turn them into blog posts, newsletters, and social media content.

We built one-click wizards because you told us you didn't want to spend all day talking to an AI chatbot or trying to fine-tune your prompts. So, just type in a few words, and Blaze will fill in the rest of your sentences, plus all the details, like: file name, brand voice, and target audience.

Oh, and because you're on a mission to grow, we made you a brand new Help Center packed with step-by-step articles and guides to help you get the most out of Blaze.

A Month's Worth of Content in One Click

What used to take you ten hours now takes you mere seconds with Blaze.

Batch scheduling is just the latest way Blaze is giving you back 10+ hours every week, so you can get back to running your business.

A new way to Schedule Posts

We recently introduced one-click posting to popular social and blog platforms. This week, we're making this even better by giving you the ability to schedule posts automatically from your content calendar.

Connect your blog or social media account to Blaze, and then drag a piece of content on to your calendar to open a post preview. Update your post preview as needed, then hit "Schedule" to pick a time of day for your scheduled post. You can track scheduled posts on the project level or workspace level.

We're releasing scheduled posts as a beta feature tonight, so try it out and let us know how we can make scheduling easier for you.

Post Directly to Facebook and Instagram

Now you can one-click publish to two of the most-used social media platforms in the world. Post your Blaze social content directly to Facebook and Instagram with our new Meta integrations.

When your content is ready for the world, use the 'Export' button to publish it to your desired platform without ever leaving Blaze. You can also publish directly from your social calendar in Blaze to make it easier than ever to plan, create, and distribute your content efficiently.

Blaze Remembers Your Language

We've just made Blaze a little smarter for the large group of customers who primarily create content in languages that are not English. Blaze will now remember your last used content generation language so you don't need to switch output language each time.  In the doc editor, Blaze will also use the original generation language in your revisions and on-doc generations to maintain consistency and quality in your content's language.

Bug Fixes and Enhancements

  • We added the ability to select your original brand voice in your subsequent revisions on the same piece of content
  • We added multiselect abilities for document actions like move and delete in table view for projects
  • We added more formatting options to the in-line toolbar to make bolding, hyperlinking, and more easier
  • We simplified Settings to reduce noise when setting up your workspace

Way Simpler Wizards

Question: What's fun on road trips, but annoying in your everyday life?

Answer: 20 questions.

We've reduced the number of questions in every content generation wizard to help you get to your generated content even faster - with less work and no sacrifice in quality.

But don't worry. If a situation arises when you need to generate content with as much specificity as you can humanly provide, you can still unfurl all the detailed questions in the "More" menu so you can specify to your heart's content.

Bug Fixes and Enhancements

  • We fixed a Homepage bug where your doc and project deletions were not updating in realtime
  • We fixed an issue where some blog posts were too long
