Changelog

What the factory shipped.

Twice-weekly notes on the improvements now available across auto.

  1. 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.

    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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
