Koozee Launches Freeform Canvas and MCP to Make Apparel Visual Production Repeatable

SYDNEY, Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — STARII TECHNOLOGY PTY LTD today announced a major update to Koozee, its AI apparel visual production platform. The update introduces Freeform Canvas, a node-based workspace for reusable, multi-step fashion content workflows, and Koozee MCP, which lets supported AI agents access Koozee’s fashion visual tools for batch image generation. The company also consolidated its preset workflows under Quick Create.

“Freeform Canvas helps apparel teams connect each step of visual production and reuse workflows across a collection. MCP lets them bring Koozee’s fashion tools into supported AI agent workflows,” said Adrian Bennett, product lead at Koozee.

QUICK CREATE

Sellers choose an outcome — a model try-on, a flat lay, a ghost mannequin shot, a pose or scene change, an enhancement pass, or a short product video — upload a garment photo, and receive a finished visual. No prompt writing is required.

FREEFORM CANVAS

Freeform Canvas is a node-based workspace for connecting garment photos, model photos and visual references, or starting with an idea to generate text, images or video. Users can choose templates such as Outfit Swap or Recolor Garment, select an AI engine and carry each output into the next step to refine or extend a look. Users can add nodes and, for more creative control, add written instructions or reference images.

An approved look can become flat lays, three-view outfit images, nine-frame storyboards, scene variations or videos for product pages, ads and social media. Teams can save the workflow, replace assets and apply it across a whole collection. Canvas supports Gemini, Claude, GPT, Nano Banana, Seedance and Kling for text, image and video tasks.

MCP CONNECTS KOOZEE WITH AI AGENTS

Koozee MCP connects Koozee’s fashion visual tools to Codex, Claude Code, WorkBuddy, Antigravity and more. Users can request batch fashion image generation directly from their existing AI workspace. A copyable setup prompt connects the agent using OAuth and Streamable HTTP and configures it to use Koozee MCP for image generation.

AVAILABILITY

Both features are available now. Learn more about Koozee at koozee.ai.

Financial Cents Brings Back WorkflowCon for 2026 — Bigger Than Ever and Still Free

Published

on

By

Back by popular demand after a standout 2025, the two-day virtual conference for small and growing accounting firms returns November 9–10 with an expanded lineup: four keynotes, more than 20 speakers across five tracks and the Small & Mighty Awards

ATLANTA, Nov. 5, 2026 /CNW/ — WorkflowCon is back. Financial Cents, the practice management software built for small and growing accounting and bookkeeping firms, is bringing back its free annual virtual conference — and this year, it’s bigger than ever. After a standout 2025, WorkflowCon returns November 9–10, 2026, with an expanded two-day program for firm owners and teams across North America who want to grow with intention. Registration is open now, and attendance is completely free.

This year’s theme, “Focus Is the New Flex,” reframes what success looks like for small and growing firms. With owners pulled in every direction and pressured to offer more services to more clients, WorkflowCon makes the case for a different approach: deciding what not to do. The program spotlights firm owners who have committed to a single growth lever — a client niche, a service line or a distinct way of working — and held steady everywhere else.

The free, 100% virtual event spans five tracks — Workflow, AI, Client, Revenue and Team — so every member of a firm can find a relevant path. Attendees can join for one day or both, and session recordings are available afterward.

WorkflowCon 2026 features four keynote speakers:

Ethan Kross, PhD, psychologist and bestselling author of Shift and Chatter, who closes Day 1 with a session on managing emotions under pressure;Keila Hill-Trawick, CPA, founder and CEO of Little Fish Accounting, who delivers the opening plenary;Jan Haugo, founder of SmartAccountant.ai and co-author of Intuit’s AI certification; andNicole Davis, CPA, founder of Conscious Accounting and a Forbes Top 200 CPA.

They are joined by more than 20 firm owners, operators and advisors leading sessions throughout the program.

“WorkflowCon is an opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, learn from other firm owners, and think differently about how you’re running your business,” said Hill-Trawick.

Highlights from the agenda include candid, practitioner-led sessions such as “Would You Fire This Client?” with Al-Nesha Jones, CPA, and Tony Proctor, EA; “Pricing Is How You Say No” with Logan Graf, CPA; “Attract A-Players in 45 Minutes” with Ryan Lazanis, CPA; “The Minimum Viable Operations Manual” with Justine Lackey; and “Before AI Touches Client Data,” a frank look at the questions every tool should answer before being entrusted with sensitive client data. The event opens with a host welcome from Financial Cents CEO Shahram Zarshenas. The full agenda, including Day 2 sessions, will be announced in the coming weeks.

“Running a firm means being pulled in a dozen directions at once, and the pressure to do more of everything never really lets up,” said Zarshenas. “WorkflowCon makes the opposite case. The firms we admire most didn’t grow by saying yes to everything; they got clear on what mattered and had the discipline to let the rest go. We created these two days so firm owners can step back from the daily grind, learn from peers who’ve made those calls and leave with a better sense of where to focus.”

The event will also crown the winners of the Small & Mighty Awards, which recognize standout accounting, bookkeeping, tax and advisory professionals across the U.S. and Canada in four categories. The four winners — selected from 12 finalists by an independent panel of practitioners — will be revealed live on Day 2.

Registration is free and open now at workflowcon.com.

Firms that want help making the case to a manager can use the conference’s ready-made “Convince Your Boss” email template, also available on the site.
