Built-in agent tools

Agents in agent reasoning mode now have access to 22 built-in tools across 8 categories — no configuration required:
  • Knowledgesearch_memory for vector search through training data, screenshot for capturing web pages, web_fetch for extracting page content as markdown
  • User Memoryremember, recall, list_memories, forget for managing per-user long-term memory
  • Fileswrite, read, edit, grep, delete for sandbox workspace operations
  • Planningcreate_plan, update_plan, read_plan, accept_plan for structured multi-step workflows
  • Communicationask_user for structured questions with selectable options, notify_user for proactive notifications, message_agent for cross-agent messaging
  • Executioncommand for running code and shell commands in an isolated sandbox
  • Automationschedule_task for recurring scheduled tasks
  • Utilitythink for internal reasoning without user-visible output
Tools use three approval levels: Auto (executes immediately), Conditional (configurable per agent), and Always (requires explicit user approval).See the creator guide for an overview or the SDK reference for detailed parameter schemas.

New releases

Workspaces

Agents now have a sandbox file system — isolated workspaces where they can create, read, edit, search, and delete files:
  • Built-in toolswrite, read, edit, grep, and delete tools available to agents in agent reasoning mode
  • Per-user isolation — authenticated users get their own workspace per agent, anonymous users get a chat-scoped workspace
  • File explorer — built-in file tree UI with syntax-highlighted code viewer
  • Real-time sync — files created or edited by the agent appear instantly in the workspace explorer
  • REST API — full workspace and file management via the API for programmatic access
See the Workspaces documentation for usage details.

Breaking changes

Agent reasoning mode

The reasoning system has been simplified to three modes:
  • auto — automatically selects the best approach for each request
  • standard — quick, single-pass answers (1x credit)
  • agent — autonomous multi-step reasoning with tool use (up to 10x credit)
The agent mode replaces the previous interactive, stepwise, and react modes with a unified autonomous agent loop that can read files, search, edit code, execute tools, and plan multi-step workflows.Deprecated: interactive, stepwise, and react reasoning modes are no longer supported. Use agent instead.

New releases

Plan chat mode

Conversational “plan-then-execute” workflow for multi-step tasks:
  • Plan mode (chat_mode: 'plan') — AI proposes a step-by-step plan before executing any tools
  • Approve / Modify / New — approve to execute, reply with changes to revise, or start a fresh plan
  • Tool-aware plans — the AI considers all available tools (built-in and connected integrations) when generating plans
  • Direct answers — if no tools are needed, bypasses planning and responds directly
See the Chat API documentation for usage details.
February 2026
New releases

Edit chat mode

Agent-powered code editing through the agent reasoning pipeline:
  • Edit mode (chat_mode: 'edit') — routes your request through the agent, which uses the built-in edit tool for targeted file changes
  • Toggle switch — Chat/Edit/Plan toggle next to the send button
  • Edit button — per-message “Edit” action on system messages with code blocks
  • Smart editing — the agent analyzes your request, locates the right file, and applies precise string replacements
  • Multi-step edits — the agent can chain multiple edits across files in a single turn
See the Chat API documentation for usage details.

New releases

Heartbeat scheduling

Transform agents from passive chatbots into proactive autonomous assistants:
  • Autonomous execution — agents wake up on a timer, execute a prompt, use connected tools, and report back
  • Flexible scheduling — configurable intervals, active hours, active days, and timezone support
  • notify_user — agents can send notifications (email, in-app) to subscribers during execution
  • schedule_task — agents can create their own recurring tasks for follow-up actions
  • message_agent — agent-to-agent async communication for multi-agent workflows

Safety controls

  • Circuit breaker — auto-pause after consecutive failures (configurable threshold)
  • Credit budgets — per-heartbeat spending limits that reset monthly
  • Plan-tier caps — maximum heartbeats per agent and minimum intervals enforced per plan
  • Bot-level toggle — per-agent heartbeat enable/disable in Settings → Features & Options

Execution dashboard

  • Logs — every execution with status, duration, tokens, and credits charged
  • Activity chart — daily visualization of execution volume
  • Stats — success rate, type breakdowns, and time-series data

API access

Full heartbeat management via the external API (/v1/bot/heartbeat/*) — create, list, enable, disable, trigger, delete, view logs, and get stats programmatically.See the Heartbeat guide for no-code setup or the Heartbeat API for programmatic access.
February 2026
New releases

User memory

Agents now remember user preferences, facts, and context across conversations:
  • Automatic memory — agents learn and store important details (names, preferences, decisions) from natural conversation
  • Per-user isolation — each user has their own private memory store, separate from agent training data
  • Memory bootstrap — relevant memories are automatically injected into context at the start of each conversation
  • Vector-powered recall — memories are semantically searchable, so the most relevant context surfaces automatically
  • Memory management — view and delete per-user memories from the Subscribers page in the dashboard

Context compaction

Long conversations no longer hit context window limits:
  • Automatic compaction — when conversation context reaches 70% of the model’s limit, older messages are summarized
  • Memory-safe — important facts are extracted and saved to user memory before compaction
  • Model-aware — compaction threshold adapts to each model’s actual context window size
  • Transparent — recent messages are preserved intact, only older history is summarized

New releases

Proactive trigger system

Transform your agents from passive chatbots into proactive assistants that reach out at the right moment:
  • Smart triggers: Fire events based on user behavior (errors, cart abandonment, page visits)
  • Multiple UI types: Button, toast notification, banner, or inline embed
  • Customizable appearance: Colors, text, positioning, animations
  • Delayed triggers: Show help after a configurable delay

Screenshot capture

Capture visual context when triggers fire to give your agent full situational awareness:
  • Automatic screenshots: Capture the page when users click the trigger
  • Quality control: Configurable JPEG quality and max dimensions
  • Privacy-first: Opt-in only, users must enable per-trigger
  • Requires html2canvas: Lightweight dependency (~40KB gzipped)

Multi-bot routing

Route different events to specialized agents on the same page:
  • Per-trigger botId: Override the default agent for specific triggers
  • Specialized agents: Sales bot for pricing, support bot for errors, billing bot for invoices
  • No re-initialization: Switch between bots without calling init() again

Rich context passing

Provide your agents with full situational context:
  • Source URL: Agents know which page the user is on
  • Custom context: Pass any data (cart value, error codes, user info)
  • User identification: Associate triggers with logged-in users
  • Prompt templates: Use {{context.field}} in agent instructions
Get started with the Trigger Script documentation.
