# Gaia 2.7 — UI Layouts and Entity Visualization

As AI systems become products, the user experience needs structure — and visibility into the data behind it.

With **Gaia 2.7**, the platform delivers full UI layout management alongside richer entity visualization.

## The Problem: Static Interfaces Don’t Fit Dynamic Systems

When data models evolve quickly, fixed layouts become a bottleneck.
Teams need a way to:

- design interfaces safely,
- iterate without redeploying,
- and reflect complex data structures clearly.

Gaia 2.7 addresses this by making layouts and visualization first-class.

## UI Layout Management — From Prototype to Platform

**What shipped**

Gaia 2.7 delivers full CRUD layout tooling, with:

- structured layout editors,
- rich property controls,
- and **server-side rendering** support.

**Why this matters**

Layout tools turn interfaces into configurable assets.
Teams can:

- iterate quickly,
- standardize views across projects,
- and keep UI aligned with evolving data.

## Entity Visualization — Seeing Relationships Clearly

**What shipped**

Gaia 2.7 adds dynamic entity visualization and relationship exploration dialogs.

**Why this matters**

Complex data is hard to understand in tables alone.
Visualization enables:

- faster discovery,
- clearer understanding of relationships,
- and more confident data modeling decisions.

---

## Designing for Trust and Clarity

UI layout tooling and entity visualization share a goal:
make complex systems **readable**.

By making structure visible, Gaia helps teams:

- design with intent,
- explain data relationships,
- and build interfaces that remain clear as systems grow.

---

## Looking Ahead

The next release builds on this with **richer evaluation workflows** and more guided operational experiences for end users.

Gaia 2.7 makes interfaces configurable. **The next release makes them operational.**
