Initial public release

These are the first public builds. Every major surface — chat, specialists, an embedded browser, settings, and a Chrome extensions manager — is in your hands at once, so you can see the shape of the product even while most of it is still being filled in.

Chat

Chat ships with a Slack-style layout and the first cut of the AI message UI. The sidebar groups conversations into Channels, DMs, and Archived sections that you can collapse independently, and your choices stick between launches. Picking a thread no longer closes the sidebar.

Messages support markdown, syntax-highlighted code blocks, and per-message hover actions for copy, regenerate, and thumbs up or down. A demo conversation is preloaded so you can poke at the formatting right away. Threads are scaffolded for a later release.

Specialists

The specialists marketplace launches with categories, search, and 40+ starter specialists, plus a guided creation form. Name a specialist, pick from eight preset icons or drop in your own PNG, SVG, or JPEG, and a unique handle is generated from the name with live availability checking. Custom specialists you create stick around across reloads.

Browser, extensions, and file selection

The app now has a built-in browser with back, forward, refresh, and home controls, a working history stack, and the ability to pop the browser into a standalone window and back without losing your place. A right-click menu offers inspect and reload, and an element-selection mode lets you click items on a page for use elsewhere in the app.

A new extensions manager lets you install Chrome extensions by Web Store ID. You can enable, disable, and uninstall them from a list, and pre-installed extensions like React Developer Tools are included by default. Drag and drop works for links, file pickers work for selecting local files, and the keychain prompt that used to appear on launch on macOS is gone.

Settings

A settings page is now reachable from a workspace and app switcher in the top bar. The first sections cover Account, Appearance, Notifications, Privacy and Security, Language and Region, and Integrations. Most controls are placeholders for now — the page exists so your preferences have a home as each capability lands.

Polish and fixes

UI spacing, button variants, and icon sizes are aligned with the design system. The new chat button uses an outline style, the send button uses an arrow-up glyph, and styles render the same in production as they do in development.
