Update Recovery and Connection Stability

Supported updates are pre-validated in an isolated copy before modifying the running installation. After activation, it checks the version, service status, plugins, etc., and follows a recovery or rollback path if it fails. The Web UI retains loaded panels and saved drafts even when disconnected, and automatically refreshes upon reconnection.

Real-Time Browser Monitoring and Conversation Sharing

In the Browser panel, you can monitor the agent's page loading, scrolling, and response processes in real time. Additionally, conversation content can be shared via revocable read-only links, and the shared page does not include tool activity, reasoning, files, images, etc.

Cloud Repository Execution and Skill Management

Repository sessions can be started directly on a managed cloud runner or a paired computer without a local clone. Checkpoints preserve approved changes. Skills learned by the agent are attributed to that agent's Skill Workshop regardless of workspace changes. The Mac app has added native browser tab functionality that persists even when switching conversations.
