This update is all about making the app more stable and user-friendly, whether you are building complex AI workflows or just using the desktop app. It cleans up some behind-the-scenes code so the app doesn't error out over simple folder tasks, and it fixes a few visual bugs on the desktop screen so your saved chat history doesn't randomly vanish.

Improvements

  • New Tab Shortcut: You can now use Mod+N (which means Ctrl+N on Windows/Linux or Cmd+N on a Mac) as a quick keyboard shortcut to open a new tab.
  • Smarter Meta AI: If you use Meta's AI models (like Llama), they are now set to use a deeper "reasoning depth" by default, meaning they will think through complex problems more thoroughly before replying.

Fixes

  • AI Helper Loops: "Subagents" (smaller AI assistants launched by a main AI to do specific tasks) are now blocked from launching their own subagents by default. This stops them from creating an infinite chain of AI helpers, though you can still set a custom limit if you need to.
  • Disappearing Chat Sessions: Saved chat sessions that didn't have a specific expiration or archive date (technically called "null" times) were accidentally disappearing from the home screen. They are now kept safely visible.
  • Missing Help Button: The Help button has been restored to the final, public version of the desktop app after accidentally going missing.
  • Windows Screen Cleanup: On Windows, a close button for a side panel was overlapping with the window's main borders. The app now hides this button on Windows to keep the screen looking clean.
  • Folder Creation Crash: Thanks to a community contributor, the app will no longer crash or error out if it tries to create a folder on your computer that already exists.
