What is Savah?

A SAFe planning tool steadily widening from boards into analytics and resourcing

Savah is a Program Increment / SAFe planning tool built around the Program Board. Recent work pushes past board mechanics into configurability (custom fields, screen layouts), a dedicated reporting Dashboard, dependency health tracking, and team capacity planning.

What is Jitter?

Jitter turns its AI effects engine into a packaged panel — and a pricing tier to match.

Jitter is a browser-based motion design tool shipping weekly, and its center of gravity has moved to AI-generated effects. After launching Jitter AI (build custom effects from a prompt) in May, it has consolidated shaders and effects into a dedicated Effects panel and introduced an AI-heavy Ultra pricing tier. Alongside, it keeps expanding the core editor: components, counters, background blur, glass, and displacement shaders.

A SAFe planning tool steadily widening from boards into analytics and resourcing

◆ Current state

Savah is a Program Increment / SAFe planning tool built around the Program Board. Recent work pushes past board mechanics into configurability (custom fields, screen layouts), a dedicated reporting Dashboard, dependency health tracking, and team capacity planning.

◆ Where it's heading

The arc is toward a more complete enterprise-agile platform: not just visualizing PI work but configuring it to a team's model, reporting on it, and planning resources against it. Each release fills a gap a SAFe coach would otherwise solve with spreadsheets.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued depth on reporting and resource planning — likely more dashboard widgets and capacity/forecasting refinements that build on the recently shipped Dashboard module.

Jitter turns its AI effects engine into a packaged panel — and a pricing tier to match.

◆ Current state

Jitter is a browser-based motion design tool shipping weekly, and its center of gravity has moved to AI-generated effects. After launching Jitter AI (build custom effects from a prompt) in May, it has consolidated shaders and effects into a dedicated Effects panel and introduced an AI-heavy Ultra pricing tier. Alongside, it keeps expanding the core editor: components, counters, background blur, glass, and displacement shaders.

◆ Where it's heading

The direction is clear — grow the effects and shaders library, let AI generate whatever isn't pre-built, and monetize the resulting AI usage through tiered credits. Editor fundamentals such as reusable components, batch export, and timeline UX are maturing in parallel to keep it viable for team workflows. Jitter is positioning as the place where designers both use and generate motion effects without leaving the canvas.

◆ Prediction

Expect workspace-level components (already flagged as next), a deeper AI effects library, and more usage-based gating as the Ultra tier establishes AI credits as the pricing lever.
