Runner Product Updates and Release Notes

Browse customer-facing Runner product updates, new workflow improvements, and release notes rewritten for real users.

Sync to Web

Runner v1.1.38 adds Sync to Web — copy your skills, personal memory, and automations to your Runner web account.

Bug fixes and stability

Runner v1.1.37 brings a collection of bug fixes, performance improvements, and reliability updates for a smoother everyday experience.

Replies that keep everyone in the loop

Runner v1.1.36 defaults email replies to the whole thread and shows you the recipients before sending, gives conversations far more room before condensing, and lets you open the right Chrome tab in one click when a task needs you.

Cleaner docs, longer memory

Runner v1.1.35 creates Google Docs with real formatting instead of plain text, holds onto far more conversation history before condensing, and fixes cross-timezone conflict checks when creating calendar events.

More ways to act, fewer snags

Runner v1.1.34 can place phone calls, create Google Calendar events, and find WhatsApp groups by name, with clearer action cards for each. It also renders math in answers, improves browsing reliability, and fixes connection error labeling.

Smarter model picks, tidier labels

Runner v1.1.33 lets managed connections choose the best model automatically instead of staying pinned to an older default, adds "Create label" to the label menu, fixes the workspace default folder picker, and ships reliability polish.

A smoother welcome

Runner v1.1.32 polishes the welcome and start screens — a cleaner referral card and clearer carousel navigation — fixes edge taps that didn't register, and ships under-the-hood reliability work.

See the whole thread

Runner v1.1.31 shows the full Slack thread when drafting a reply, shortens first-run setup, and moves referral codes to the web.

Steadier, more reliable conversations

Runner v1.1.30 keeps generated images from flickering while you type, shows long messages in full, sends iPhone HEIC photos reliably, and fixes connections like Figma.

Smarter model picks, smoother file sharing

Runner v1.1.29 picks the best model for each request automatically, adds file attachments to Slack messages, and fixes sharing files from any drive.

Smoother connections, steadier reliability

Runner v1.1.28 focuses on reliability — a more dependable Outlook connection, better message loading, and behind-the-scenes stability improvements.

Tell your results apart at a glance

Runner now shows distinct icons for Gmail, Calendar, and Drive results, plus a clearer settings view and reliability fixes across conversations, settings, and file attachments.

A more powerful model, clearer action cards

Runner can now use Claude Opus 4.8 for your toughest tasks, plus simpler action cards that are easier to scan and approve and a cleaner chat that stays easy to follow.

A smoother first run, steadier sessions

Runner now greets new workspaces with a guided first run that helps you pick a skill, connect the right accounts, and see Runner working from your very first conversation, plus reliability fixes across conversations and browser profiles.

Send files in any chat

Runner can now send attachments — documents, images, and files — directly in your WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, and LinkedIn conversations, plus a cleaner daily brief, a browser profile picker, and more model connections.

Attach files and branch conversations

Attach files to the emails Runner sends, branch a conversation from any earlier message to explore a new direction, and set a default model so new chats start the way you prefer.

A calmer chat and steadier sends

Long conversations no longer get cut short, the assistant's step-by-step thinking is tucked away by default, and action cards show send status the moment you hit send.

Instagram and TikTok, now readable

The assistant can now read from Instagram and TikTok, messaging cards reject bad recipients up front instead of failing silently, and action cards send with less perceived lag and clearer errors.

Cleaner send signals

A failed action-card send now shows a "Send failed" toast instead of a green "Message sent", and the composer's compact goal status rail is back with a live timer and one-click clear.

Steadier sends, smarter sessions

LinkedIn sends stop failing with confusing errors, revoked sign-ins offer a Reconnect button instead of "Outage", account labels stay accurate, and you can start a new session straight from a label group.

More apps, simpler to connect

Calendar, Workspace, GitHub, HubSpot, Salesforce, and Slack now connect through the same managed layer for faster, steadier sign-ins, with new starters for WHOOP, Reddit, and a curated set of community connections.

A cleaner task home

Your task home opens to a tidy list with clear In Progress substates, automation runs group under their automation, and background tasks now show their activity and controls right in the transcript.

Files in your workspace, bulk edits in one pass

Every file the assistant produces now lives in one workspace browser with CSV and video previews, and a new agent menu proposes bulk task edits and applies them after you approve.

Tasks take shape

Tasks become a real place to organize your work — with labels, project assignment, status filtering, and a Today view — plus a new dashboard Inbox and a wave of todo polish.

A simpler way to add connections

Adding a connection is now one clean flow with a wider starter gallery and proper credential storage, automations get per-run working directories and smarter defaults, and past conversations restore reliably.

Web search and context from your apps

Runner can now search and read the open web when the answer isn't in your apps, and it learns context from your connected apps so it stops re-asking.

Find what Runner made in one click

When Runner finishes a task, a new card links straight to the file, document, or page it produced, and the Chrome connection now recovers on its own.

Automations catch up after a restart

Automations now catch up on runs missed while your computer was off, Google Drive, Docs, and Sheets connect as one app, and stalled conversations recover.
