## Summary
Two intertwined streams of work:
### UI — discovery hero pattern, settings shell, AI/API redesign
- **Generalize `SettingsDiscoveryHeroCard`** and use it on Layout, Data
Model, Apps, AI, API/Webhooks, Members. Drops 4 per-page wrapper files
(`SettingsObjectCoverImage`, `SettingsLayoutCoverImage`,
`SettingsLayoutCustomizeVideoModal`,
`SettingsDataModelVisualizeVideoModal`). Each page now supplies cover
src, modal id, and tab list.
- **Modal**: swap `<video>` placeholder for the Vimeo iframe pattern
from `twenty-docs`, per-tab `vimeoId`. Drop the parallel border-bottom
on the header (TabList draws its own baseline) and the grey background
behind the video. Note: Vimeo's embed allowlist applies — the iframes
load with the correct URL on `localhost` but the player itself requires
the video owner to allow the dev/staging domains in Vimeo settings.
- **AI page** rebuilt into a Cockpit pattern (Overview / Models / Skills
/ Tools / Usage). New `SettingsAiOverviewTab` with default Smart/Fast
pickers, at-a-glance stats, and an MCP signpost that deep-links to
`/settings/api-webhooks#mcp`. System Prompt link moved under Models.
Advanced tab removed.
- **API & Webhooks** now has 4 tabs (Playground / MCP / API Keys /
Webhooks). Hero card above tabs. Playground tab inverted to "Core API" /
"Metadata API" sections, each containing REST + GraphQL cards — schema
is the meaningful axis, protocol is secondary. Hash deep-link sync
delegated to the shared `TabListFromUrlOptionalEffect`.
- **Settings shell**: unified drawer outer padding (kill `isSettings`
branch), extract `CollapsibleNavigationDrawerSection`, add `iconColor`
on settings nav items, fix Exit Settings button alignment, 880px content
cap.
### Backend — strategy C: ephemeral playground token
The legacy paste-your-API-key flow is replaced by an on-demand
short-lived token scoped to the calling user's permissions. No shared
"Playground" API key to manage or revoke.
- New `JwtTokenTypeEnum.PLAYGROUND`. `PlaygroundTokenJwtPayload =
Omit<AccessTokenJwtPayload, 'type' | impersonation fields>` so any
future ACCESS claim flows through automatically.
- `AccessTokenService.generatePlaygroundToken` signs an access-shaped
JWT with `type: PLAYGROUND` and a configurable short TTL. A shared
private `resolveTokenSubject` helper parallelizes the user / workspace /
userWorkspace lookups for both generators.
- `JwtAuthStrategy.validateAccessToken` widened to accept
`AccessTokenJwtPayload | PlaygroundTokenJwtPayload`; impersonation gated
on `payload.type === ACCESS` so the union narrows without `as unknown
as` casts. The two branches in `validate()` collapse into one.
- New `PLAYGROUND_TOKEN_EXPIRES_IN` config var (default `2h`).
- New `generatePlaygroundToken` mutation (`WorkspaceAuthGuard`, no args,
returns `AuthToken`).
- Frontend `useOpenPlayground` hook centralizes mint → atom write →
navigate, with Apollo `onError` snackbar and a "use cached PLAYGROUND
token if still fresh" short-circuit (decodes via `jwt-decode`, checks
both `type` AND `exp`). Old API_KEY tokens left in localStorage from the
prior paste-form flow are rejected on `type` alone and force a re-mint —
this is what was causing the "This API Key is revoked" symptom on stale
browsers.
### Drive-by cleanups
- `PlaygroundToken` DTO removed (identical shape to `AuthToken` already
in use).
- 5 `customize-sidebar.webm` imports and the dead placeholder pipeline
removed.
## Test plan
### Discovery hero
- [ ] `/settings/layout`, `/settings/data-model`,
`/settings/applications`, `/settings/ai`, `/settings/api-webhooks`,
`/settings/members` each render the discovery hero card with its
illustration + play button + tabbed modal
- [ ] Modal tabs show the correct Vimeo embed URL per tab; aspect ratio
stays at 1440/900; no parallel border-bottom jog at the tab baseline
- [ ] AI Overview tab shows Smart/Fast model pickers + stats grid + MCP
signpost card; the MCP card lands on `/settings/api-webhooks#mcp` with
the MCP tab active
### API playground (ephemeral token)
- [ ] With an empty `playgroundApiKeyState` in localStorage, clicking
REST or GraphQL playground card opens the playground and the cached
token has `type: "PLAYGROUND"` with ~2h exp
- [ ] Clicking the card again within the freshness window does **not**
re-mint (`iat` / fingerprint stable across visits)
- [ ] Planting a fake API_KEY-shaped JWT in localStorage and clicking
the card forces a fresh mint (old token rejected on `type`)
- [ ] `GET /rest/companies?limit=1` with the cached token returns 200 +
real data
- [ ] `POST /graphql { __typename }` returns 200
### Settings shell
- [ ] Settings nav matches main app drawer padding; sections collapse;
Exit Settings button aligns with the workspace links above
- [ ] Active nav items have a right-gap (cleaner active state)
- [ ] Content area capped at 880px
### Verify
- [ ] `npx nx typecheck twenty-front` passes
- [ ] `npx nx typecheck twenty-server` passes
- [ ] `npx nx lint:diff-with-main twenty-front` passes
- [ ] `npx nx lint:diff-with-main twenty-server` passes

Installation
Cloud
The fastest way to get started. Sign up at twenty.com and spin up a workspace in under a minute, with no infrastructure to manage and always up to date.
Build an app
Scaffold a new app with the Twenty CLI:
npx create-twenty-app my-app
Define objects, fields, and views as code:
import { defineObject, FieldType } from 'twenty-sdk/define';
export default defineObject({
nameSingular: 'deal',
namePlural: 'deals',
labelSingular: 'Deal',
labelPlural: 'Deals',
fields: [
{ name: 'name', label: 'Name', type: FieldType.TEXT },
{ name: 'amount', label: 'Amount', type: FieldType.CURRENCY },
{ name: 'closeDate', label: 'Close Date', type: FieldType.DATE_TIME },
],
});
Then ship it to your workspace:
npx twenty app:publish --private
See the app development guide for objects, views, agents, and logic functions.
Self-hosting
Run Twenty on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose, or contribute locally via the local setup guide.
Everything you need
Twenty gives you the building blocks of a modern CRM (objects, views, workflows, and agents) and lets you extend them as code. Here's a tour of what's in the box.
