Changelog
What the factory shipped.
Twice-weekly notes on the improvements now available across auto.
Aug 24
Steadier conversations and more capable sessions
- Slack agents keep replies in the original thread for public channels, so follow up messages continue the same conversation reliably.
- Supported hosted sessions include a managed Docker runtime, so agents can run containerized development and Compose workflows without custom environment setup.
- New sessions reach visible provisioning much faster after submission, so people can confirm that work has started without waiting through long blank transitions.
- Sessions replace the regular composer with guided choices when an agent needs input, making multi step questions easier to answer on mobile and desktop.
Jul 20
More control over access and funding
- Project settings show each OpenAI subscription quota window and reset time separately, so available usage is easier to understand.
- Slack and Linear connections can move between organizations during reconnection, giving teams a clear recovery path when ownership changes.
- Invitation links keep sign in, recovery, and acceptance in one consistent flow, so invited teammates reach the product without unnecessary interstitials.
- Account settings offer Light, Dark, and System themes that persist across the authenticated app and follow operating system changes.
- Account settings let people attach, replace, or detach a personal OpenAI subscription with clear status and safe validation feedback.
Jul 16
Faster navigation and clearer recovery
- Onboarding recognizes when an organization is already set up, so returning teams go straight to their sessions instead of repeating the welcome flow.
- Sessions switch faster by avoiding unrelated data reads while preserving the full conversation.
- GitHub Sync reads repository configuration in parallel, shortening the wait between a merge and applied resources.
- Insights groups requester spend by project member, automation, and unattributed activity, making costs easier to understand without exposing raw identity keys.
- Connections explain provider setup requirements before authorization and keep actionable errors visible when approval is still needed.
- GitHub Sync preserves connections created outside repository configuration and stops repeating already applied changes.
- Settings shows unhealthy GitHub connections with recovery actions, and failed GitHub backed runs link directly to the affected installation.
- Slack and Discord suppress low credit warnings when automatic top ups can still cover usage.
- Settings navigation keeps the current layout visible and shows an accessible loading state while the next section opens.
- Sidebar destinations load much faster after navigation intent without preloading every page.
- Onboarding uses every repository available to the GitHub installation by default and keeps configuration selection in one place.
- Connections stop retrying authorizations that require reconnection and return clear recovery guidance instead.
- Sessions explain when credits pause model calls and clear false sending states instead of appearing unresponsive.
- Slack and Discord explain when credits or spend caps block work and link directly to the relevant settings.
- Session authorization actions remain visible when completed work is collapsed, so required connection steps are easy to find.
- Agents and Sessions show which spend cap stopped work, when it resets, and the available override controls.
- Settings lets admins rename projects and organizations or update their slugs with clear validation and saved states.
Jul 14
Settings rebuilt around your organization
- Billing and GitHub configuration now live in one consolidated settings area instead of being scattered across the app.
- Projects can be open to everyone in the organization or restricted to invited members, and org admins always retain access.
- Discord messages now show which agent wrote them, with per-agent names and avatars.
- Organization settings include a full member roster with organization-level invitations.
- Agents show a typing indicator in Discord while composing a reply.
Jul 10
Simpler repository access, sturdier sessions
- Sessions recover automatically when a command stalls mid-dispatch instead of waiting forever.
- Connected GitHub repositories are available automatically to every project in the organization.
- Sandboxes refresh Git credentials reliably during long sessions, so pushes no longer fail late in the work.
- GitHub Sync presents newly created identities with clearer naming and attribution.
Jul 7
Provisioning you can steer, spend you can cap
- The sessions page no longer shows a persistent setup banner once a project is ready.
- Stuck environment provisioning can be stopped and retried directly from the product.
- Onboarding waits for your sandbox to be ready before inviting the first prompt.
- The onboarding repository picker keeps its selection through the entire flow.
- Runtime spend caps are enforced: work stops cleanly at the limit rather than running past it.
Jul 3
Safer authorization, clearer spend
- Owners can release abandoned authorization attempts so teammates are never locked out of reconnecting.
- Remote MCP servers with unsupported authentication are rejected up front instead of failing mid-session.
- Fixed a retry loop that could leave a session stuck dispatching the same command.
- Refined the project GitHub settings surface with clearer layout and states.
- Insights breaks down spend per requester, alongside new controls for setting caps.
Jun 30
Agents arrive in Discord
- Onboarding now covers project repository management, so repos are wired up before your first session.
- Discord conversations reach your agents: channel messages flow in and replies land back in the thread.
- Onboarding teams come with attached starter prompts that give each agent a concrete first task.
- Blank Canvas automations accept a freeform description of what you want built.
- Edited Slack messages are treated as first-class events, so agents see corrections instead of stale text.
Jun 26
Faster loads, steadier repositories
- GitHub repositories are authorized by stable identifier, so renames never break access.
- Copying a session identifier gives immediate visual feedback anywhere in the app.
- Each project gains a dedicated GitHub area in settings for repositories and configuration.
- The sessions page renders on the server again, making first paint noticeably faster.
- Starting from Agent Play opens a fresh composer with that agent preselected.
Jun 23
Faster starts, smoother recovery
- The signed-in dashboard streams in progressively instead of blocking on the slowest data.
- Optional provider connections retry after transient activation failures instead of blocking project setup.
- Sandboxes start more quickly when many sessions launch at once.
Jun 19
Onboarding that stays clear and steady
- Preset installation previews in the welcome flow match what actually gets installed.
- The hands-off GitHub setup option remains easy to read across screen sizes.
- Proactive-work guidance appears without shifting the welcome flow around.
Jun 16
Cleaner operational history
- Older session transcripts once again render tool calls with the right styling.
- GitHub Sync plan comments summarize the changes that matter instead of listing every resource.
Jun 12
Richer context for every agent
- Team onboarding kickoffs automatically include repository and channel details.
- Built-in agents each carry a distinct avatar across every surface.
- Design agents can research real product patterns through the Mobbin connection.
