The big picture of this update is all about working smarter. It gives you new ways to teach the app how to do repetitive tasks for you, and makes it easier to manage those tasks across different computers. This matters most if you use the app to automate your homework, coding projects, or daily computer chores.
What's new
- Record & Replay (Mac only): You can now record yourself doing a task on your screen, and the app will turn that recording into a reusable "skill" it can do automatically later. You have to turn on a setting called "Computer Use" (which just lets the app control your mouse and keyboard) to make it work. Note: This isn't available in the UK, Switzerland, or most of Europe yet due to local tech rules.
- Bulk actions for task history: When you look at your list of past automated tasks, you can now select a bunch of them at once to mark them as "read" or file them away, saving you from clicking them one by one.
- Passing work between computers: If you start a project or conversation on your laptop, you can now seamlessly hand it off to a more powerful desktop computer (or a remote server) and pick up exactly where you left off. The app can even help coordinate this move for you.
Improvements
- Better remote browser sessions: If you are using the app to control a web browser, your on-screen notes and the specific browser tabs you were looking at will now stay saved when your session gets moved to a server.
- Easier remote connections: Added new "deep links" (clickable shortcuts that take you straight to a specific setting) to make it faster to set up SSH connections (secure links to other computers).
Fixes
- The update includes general bug fixes to make the app run smoother, though the developers didn't list the specific minor glitches they squashed.
