Introducing CAO: Your Chief Agent Operator

Features

  • CAO (Chief Agent Operator). Your agent can now keep going on its own. It reviews its own work, decides the next step, and continues without waiting for you to say "next." When a decision genuinely needs you, it pauses, tells you what it tried, and asks a clear question. For larger tasks, it can put together a small team of sub-agents and hand off parts of the work while the main agent stays in charge of the plan. You can open any sub-agent's conversation to see its progress. Learn more about CAO →
  • Project skills in the working sidebar, with a built-in Markdown preview.
  • Per-suggestion models. Pick a different model for each kind of follow-up suggestion.
  • New model: Baidu Ernie 5.1.

Improvements

  • Chat input actions show as icon and label, and only the latest reply animates while streaming.
  • Cleaner tab bar styling, and task schedule labels no longer wrap awkwardly.
  • Recurring tasks are more reliable, with a run-count cap and protection against schedules that fire too often.
  • A cleaner Agent Documents view: easier to find what you saved, without old web-crawl clutter.
  • DeepSeek is priced at official rates again.

Fixes

  • Desktop no longer signs you out during background token refreshes, and it remembers which page you were on after an update.
  • Local-file search handles hidden files that start with ., and grep parameters pass through correctly.
  • Unsupported documents now fail with a clear message instead of a confusing error.
  • Gemini tool calls handle thinking signatures and enums correctly, and per-tool timeouts now hold.
  • Task pages keep the right agent context, and memory updates stay out of your main thread.
