Chloe becomes your Assistant, plus a side panel with tabs

This release polishes Chloe into a proper Assistant you can shape to fit you, turns the conversation side panel into a workspace you can tab through and expand, and makes chat feel instant. There are also steadier specialists, cleaner settings, and dozens of smaller fixes throughout.

Chloe, now your Assistant

Chloe has a clearer identity this release. The dock header reads "Assistant," her replies carry their own avatar, and the composer greets you with rotating suggestions so you always have a starting point. Chloe now lives entirely in her dock rather than surfacing across the app, so she's there when you want her and quiet when you don't.

You also get more control over how she works. In Settings you can now pick which model Chloe runs on: leave it as-is to keep the built-in model, or choose your own to run her on the provider you prefer. You can also set which side of the window her dock opens against, so she starts where you expect every time.

A side panel that works the way you do

The conversation side panel now holds multiple workspace apps as tabs instead of stacking them. Open the panel to a simple picker, choose the app you want, and add more tabs as you go. Your panel keeps its size as you switch between tabs, so nothing jumps around.

When you need more room, expand any tab to fill the workspace area while your conversation stays exactly where you left it, then dock it again to bring chat back at its previous width. Opening a conversation notification or sending text to chat from an app automatically returns the panel to its docked view. And when you have a lot of apps installed, a search box at the top of the picker lets you filter to the one you want by name.

Chat that feels instant

Your messages now appear the moment you send them, before anything finishes saving in the background, so the conversation keeps pace with you. Streaming replies stay in a stable, correct order as they arrive.

Mentions are more useful, too: you can now @mention anyone in the channel, and the autocomplete popup has been cleaned up. Channel names now follow a simple lowercase, hyphenated format that's normalized as you type, and the conversation header shows the channel description and an accurate member count. Joining a channel adds it to your sidebar immediately, and the Browse channels button stands out when there are channels you can join. Timestamps now respect your preferred time format.

Steadier specialists

Marketplace detail pages open reliably again, and the marketplace search bar matches the rest of the app. Adding or removing members and specialists now shows clear loading feedback while it works, and publishing a specialist no longer trips over a name that already exists. The "Requires permissions" badge has a tooltip explaining what it means. This release also adds a bundled Playwright specialist that can create, run, and report on end-to-end browser tests for you.

Settings and models

Your profile now preserves the values you last submitted instead of dropping them, the usage page has been tidied up, and a redundant label was removed from the settings sidebar. Anthropic's Claude models are now correctly advertised as supporting tool use, so they show up where you'd expect to use them.

Polish & fixes

You can now report an issue straight from the command menu. The app no longer gets stuck after you quit it on macOS, and the window's traffic-light buttons are centered in the title bar. The chat input box has been refreshed, inline message editing now uses the same rich editor as the composer, and inline message options work correctly again. Author names in chat read as plain, clickable text rather than links, muted channels show their names again, and long multi-line messages keep their avatar pinned and stop truncating the last line. Empty channels no longer show a stray "missed messages" banner, and replies are now blocked in archived threads. Thread visibility is cleaner, threads use the main conversation composer, and the notification bell count no longer double-tallies with the chat badge. When you add people or specialists to a channel they join once, without duplicate entries, and a specialist replying in a thread now follows the parent channel's permissions. If a channel notification setting fails to save you'll see why, and direct-message notifications keep your conversation view current. The channel heading and list line up correctly, and the channel settings dialog matches the app's other dialogs. Workflows keep their icon color through a rename and no longer pop a false "unsaved changes" prompt after you save. Accepting a workspace invite transitions more smoothly, generated project icons render steadily, home page columns share a clean top edge, the side-panel launcher is centered, and menus, tooltips, and popovers now share consistent styling. This release also includes routine security improvements.
