A simpler way to add connections

2026-05-19 — v1.1.13

Adding a new connection is now a single, clean flow with a wider starter gallery and proper credential storage for custom setups. Automations get sharper defaults and per-run working directories, past conversations restore reliably even after switching models, and the assistant explains itself better when something goes wrong.

What changed:

• Connections: A streamlined Add Connection flow with an expanded starter gallery and a generic option for setups not yet in the catalog
• Custom connections: Custom setups now save their credentials, edit their config safely, and recover cleanly from sign-in hiccups
• Automations: A per-automation working directory, a thinking-level control, and smarter defaults for new automations
• Conversations: Past conversations now reload reliably, even after you switch the underlying model
• Heartbeat: Cleaner onboarding states and tighter controls for periodic check-ins
• Settings: Open the Runner Chrome browser from General settings, plus clearer copy on the live-chat row
• Images: New image generations default to GPT Image 2, and large image attachments are resized before sending
• Plans: New Iron, Titan, and Olympus tiers for people who need more capacity
• Fixed the assistant surfacing generic errors instead of the underlying API details
• Fixed automations that occasionally stalled when a handoff failed repeatedly
• Fixed connections that retried with the wrong parameters during a sign-in refresh
• Fixed Google Calendar links so they show the right favicon in finished-work cards
• Fixed an edge case where image attachments larger than the limit would fail silently

Why it matters: Connecting your apps is the first thing most people do, so it should be one clear step instead of a guessing game. These changes make setup faster, keep your custom credentials safe, and make sure the work you've already done — past conversations and running automations — holds up when you switch models or hit a snag.
