Web search and context from your apps

2026-05-18 — v1.1.12

Runner can now search and read the open web when an answer isn't in your connected apps, and it quietly learns context from those apps so it doesn't keep asking the same questions. Slack drafts also reply in the right thread, and downloads route to the right Mac build.

What changed:

• Web reach: Runner can search the web and read pages when the answer isn't in your connected apps
• Context: Runner learns about you and your work from the apps you've connected, so it doesn't keep re-asking the same questions
• Slack: Replies now stay in the thread you started instead of falling back to the channel
• Connections: Custom integrations now show per workspace, so configuring one workspace doesn't leak into another
• Heartbeat: Clearer controls for pausing or opting out of periodic check-ins
• Help: A new "Talk to a human" card surfaces when you need real support, with a one-click handoff
• Fixed the assistant occasionally losing its tool settings when you switched the default model
• Fixed Slack messages that sometimes silently retried instead of surfacing the failure
• Fixed Mac downloads that occasionally picked the wrong build for Apple Silicon
• Fixed download links that could go stale between releases
• Fixed dark-mode contrast on the Operator phone activation button
• Fixed an edge case where some tool inputs weren't validated correctly before being sent to the assistant

Why it matters: Runner is most useful when it can reach past your connected apps and remember what it has already learned. Web search and carried-over context cut the back-and-forth, and the Slack and download fixes make everyday handoffs land where you expect.
