# January 12

This release removes key friction points and improves reliability, significantly speeding up **app building** and enabling teams to iterate **\~6.5–7× faster**.

## **App Builder**

### **Rapid Mode (New)**

* Now there are 2 modes of building apps - Deep Thinking & Rapid.
* With Rapid mode, you can turn ideas into working prototypes and functional apps much faster.
* **Early build time reduced from 20 minutes to \~3 minutes - 85% faster.**
* What's included:
  * Currently supports frontend-only builds for rapid prototyping.
  * Backend integrations (including Supabase) are not supported yet in Rapid Mode.

### **Stability Improvements**

* Resolved recurring **502 errors**, network errors, and WebSocket connection issues.
* Reduces build interruptions by **\~80%.**

### **Improved Build Experience**

* Simplified interface with clearer build states and smoother loaders.

### **Better Version Reverts**

* Reverting an app version now restores the relevant chat context.
* Eliminates context mismatch issues and reduces rebuild recovery time.

### **Asset Handling Fixes**

* Images, logos, and other assets now update consistently across regenerated apps.

### **GitHub Management Fixes**

* Improved stability in GitHub linking and repository sync flows.
* Fewer GitHub-related disruptions during builds.

## Agent Builder

### Under-the-Hood Enhancements

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.uptiq.ai/release-notes/2026/january-12-2026.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
