Stopping a task from Slack now gives immediate, accurate feedback, whether the stop succeeds or is denied.
2026
316 releasesThe agent Payments page keeps working even when part of the underlying data is malformed or temporarily unavailable, instead of failing to load.
Several small fixes make the task activity view clearer and easier to follow.
OpenAI's GPT-6.1 Sol is now available for Brainbase agents using Kafka, Codex, or OpenCode, at the same input and output rates as GPT-6 Sol.
Pasting a playbook's entire contents into a brand-new, empty playbook — or navigating away moments after editing — could silently fail to save. Both cases are now fixed.
Claude Sonnet 5.5, Anthropic's latest Sonnet model with the best combination of speed and intelligence, is now available in Brainbase.
Payments — our beta wallet-approval flow for agent purchases — is now available to every account instead of a pilot group, supports orders above the previous $5 cap, and gives you clearer status and a way to recover a stuck request.
Cloudflare-backed sandboxes, a faster agent runtime option, are no longer limited to internal accounts and now show by default when starting a new agent, with more reliable file delivery to a task that's gone idle.
Agents connected to Slack can now post live progress updates, ask clarifying questions, and be stopped mid-task right from the thread, with an optional approval step before sensitive tool actions that's off by default.
Opening a task from a Slack notification link could land you in an outdated chat view or the wrong project; those links now resolve to the correct task directly.
The Payments page now shows what your agent bought through Link — including delivery details and whether the merchant order actually went through — so you can review and, if needed, recover a purchase in one place. This continues our beta wallet-approval rollout.
Chat attachments and follow-up messages now give clearer, less cluttered feedback, so it's easier to tell what's happening with an upload or a message you sent while a task was already running.
A settings change made in one browser tab could get silently overwritten if an older tab reloaded its own cached preferences afterward — including your instant Slack-reply setting. That's now fixed.
Sending a chat message during a brief network interruption no longer risks submitting it twice, and a temporary connection hiccup no longer makes your workspace list falsely appear empty.
We patched a critical remote-code-execution vulnerability in image handling on our documentation site, and applied the same precautionary security updates across backend services as a hardening measure. No customer data was affected and no action is required.
You can now connect a payment wallet and approve or decline an agent's purchase requests in real time, with the outcome delivered straight back to the task. This is an early rollout for test approvals only — no purchase is completed yet.
Agents running GPT-5.6 models now have a live web-search tool built in, instead of falling back to a slower browser-based workaround to look things up.
Agent tasks now recover more reliably when the platform restarts mid-run, instead of occasionally getting stuck or colliding with a duplicate resume.
When a task fails because your account is out of credits, it now reports that clearly instead of showing a generic failure, and our docs explain exactly how to recover.
Agent tasks recover more reliably from brief connection interruptions and model-routing races, so runs are less likely to be misreported or repeat a step.
The console now automatically catches back up on task and thread updates after a dropped connection, a backgrounded tab, or a brief outage, instead of needing a page reload.
Accounts approaching their credit limit no longer receive the same usage-alert email repeatedly; it's now sent once per threshold crossing.
OpenAI's GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna are now available in Brainbase, with standard token rates at least 50% lower than their GPT-5.6 counterparts.
Claude Opus 5.5, Anthropic's latest Opus model for long-running agentic coding and knowledge work, is now available in Brainbase at a lower price than Claude Opus 5.
You can now send follow-up instructions to an agent task while it's still running, or stop it cleanly, instead of waiting for the run to finish or starting a new one.
Grok 4.7 now appears promoted near the top of model pickers, backed by expanded routing and reasoning support, with platform LLM credits discounted 75% through the end of November.
Removing someone from a project is safer now: they're no longer silently re-added to the General group on login, and admins can't accidentally strip a member's last project.
Enterprise accounts now see their exact billing period and next invoice date on the Billing page, plus a simpler account picker when there's only one account to manage.
Members without admin access now see owners, admins, and the teammates who share a group with them, instead of the entire organization roster, and the list is sorted by role.
Grok 4.7 brings xAI's latest reasoning, coding, and image understanding to Brainbase, with a 500K-token context window and an extra-high reasoning option.
Agent runs are less likely to fail right when they start, whether they're waiting on a connected tool to finish loading or waking a paused sandbox back up.
Tasks that can't proceed because an account is out of credits now consistently show a clear billing message instead of a confusing generic failure.
New email/password signups now go through a brief manual review before free trial credits are applied, to help prevent abuse.
Agent conversations and managed tasks now recover automatically from occasional model-provider glitches instead of dying part-way through or breaking the rest of the conversation.
Billing and Usage pages now show the details that actually apply to your plan, instead of mixing in concepts from the other billing model.
Opening a playbook right after switching to a different agent no longer shows a false "Playbook not found" error.
Chat attachments and task files now support uploads and downloads up to 1 GB, and an interrupted upload automatically resumes instead of starting over.
Project and orchestration cards now let you preview who's a member right from the list, without opening each one individually.
Billing and Usage pages for Enterprise accounts now reflect live wallet and invoice data instead of stale counters or a hardcoded credit price.
Agent tasks are now less likely to fail outright when the underlying model drops a response mid-stream or returns a malformed tool call — Brainbase now recovers automatically instead of ending the task.
Tasks running on the Codex agent runtime can now make outbound network requests, like fetching a webpage, while keeping their existing filesystem restrictions.
Tasks that delegate work to a sub-agent on the OpenCode runtime no longer stall for nearly an hour before failing — delegated work now completes normally.
Pressing Stop now reliably cancels the agent's response, including right after you send a message or right as a reply finishes.
Files an agent sends to Slack now travel through the same durable delivery pipeline used elsewhere, so uploads no longer silently fail to reach the thread.
When an agent handed part of a Slack request off to a delegated task, the result could silently fail to come back; delegated work now reliably finds its way back to the original task and thread.
GPT-4o and GPT-4o Mini are no longer offered anywhere in Brainbase — agents, workflows, and API/CLI requests that referenced them now run on GPT-5.6 Luna automatically, with no action needed on your end.
Attaching a file to a new task no longer gets stuck retrying or times out — you now see a clear message right away when a file can't be attached, and stopping or switching tasks reliably cancels an upload in progress.
Agent replies delivered to Slack now stay correctly bound to the message that started them, even after a retry — preventing replies from arriving against the wrong request.
The add menu on an agent's own canvas no longer offers to create things that page can't actually create.
Linear is now a fully supported Surface, open to every agent: connect it like Slack, and your agent can be delegated issues or @mentioned right in Linear, then work and reply there as itself.
Adding a no-login app like Playwright to a brand-new agent could fail with an account-lookup error — that's now fixed, with explicit per-agent add and remove.
Stopping a Linear-triggered run now actually cancels it, task status and timestamps are accurate, and messages are more reliably attributed to their real source.
A new opt-in setting for the GitHub integration makes sure a review your agent claims to have finished actually gets posted, retrying once and withdrawing its acknowledgment if it still doesn't.
Streamed agent responses no longer come back silently empty or truncated when the upstream connection ends early.
Gemini tool calls and their results now reliably survive to the model's next turn, instead of silently breaking multi-step tool use.
A benchmark run that hits a credit or plan limit now pauses instead of scoring the blocked case as a failure, and you can resume it right where it left off. Runs also show an upfront sandbox-time cost estimate, and can now fan out to more concurrent case runs.
Custom MCP server connections are now restricted to public HTTPS destinations, and OAuth credentials are now bound to the exact server they were issued for — closing gaps that could let a malicious or misconfigured server redirect traffic or intercept authorization.
Evaluations that grade agent responses (used by benchmarks and quality monitoring) now consume credits the same way as a regular model call, instead of running for free.
If an MCP tool server your agent is connected to returns a server error or drops its connection mid-call, the run now fails that one tool call within milliseconds and reconnects for the next call, instead of hanging for up to an hour.
Custom Slack app integrations no longer start extra agent turns or show a misleading “no response was delivered” message when the agent's own reply happens to mention the app.
Kafka agents can now use GPT-6 Astra for text and image tasks, with reasoning controls from low through max.
GPT-6 Astra is now featured for Brainbase agents using Codex or OpenCode, with text and image input and reasoning controls from low through max.
A recurring schedule trigger that can't afford its next run now pauses itself instead of retrying forever, and tells you exactly why.
Kafka can now be deployed as an AWS Marketplace appliance with billing handled entirely by AWS, so those customers manage their subscription without ever seeing Stripe.
Agent Benchmarking (beta) now gives each test case a real Checks section with a structured rubric editor, and shows exactly which criteria the judge found met or missed.
If a `brainbase` command is interrupted mid-login, later commands now report a clear, actionable timeout instead of crashing with a raw stack trace.
Per-agent task history and its overview totals could previously miss or undercount tasks beyond the first 50; both now reflect your full selected date range.
Proxy passwords you save for agent browsing are encrypted at rest and decrypted only at the moment they're used to route a request.
Agent-judge evals previously produced no verdicts at all for Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode agents; they now run and report results just like they already did for Kafka agents.
Adding an agent to an orchestration it already belongs to elsewhere now returns a clear error instead of silently creating an inconsistent setup.
Claude Fable 5.1 is now available across Brainbase's Anthropic model pickers, featured and ready to use in your agents.
Meta's Muse Spark 1.3 and Google's Gemini 3.8 Flash are now featured for long-horizon agent and coding work, while their previous generations remain available.
Live task views now pick back up where they left off after a brief connection drop, instead of replaying the whole run from the start.
You can now manage tasks straight from the terminal — list them, check status, tail logs, and block a script until one finishes — without opening the web app.
The CLI no longer silently confirms destructive actions when run without a terminal, and won't push local changes over cloud data it has never seen.
Mentioning your agent on a pull request while it's already working now queues the request instead of failing with a confusing configuration error.
Set a secret once on an orchestration and every agent inside it can use it automatically, with per-agent overrides and a clear warning when orchestrations disagree.
Benchmarks can now be authored, imported, run, and inspected without leaving the terminal — the CLI covers the full lifecycle from draft to results.
The benchmarks overview now charts every comparable run in order, so you can see how a benchmark trends across runs and drill into any single result without leaving the chart.
Inkling's free early-access period has ended. Usage is billed at standard per-token rates, and the model picker now shows accurate pricing instead of $0.
Coding tasks triggered from Slack now recover cleanly from brief failures instead of silently dropping or re-running the task.
Clicking a task under Recent tasks on the agent overview now takes you straight to that task's detail panel, instead of dropping you on the general tasks list.
Orchestration memory now has its own row in the sidebar, so turning on shared memory for an orchestration no longer requires digging into Settings.
Fixed a security issue where a maliciously crafted package could cause the CLI to extract files beyond what its safety checks verified. Update to the latest CLI to get the fix.
The CLI can now create a starter agent manifest on its own, so you can start building an agent without opening the web app first.
Agent memory and browsing access can now be turned on or off by editing and pushing the CLI manifest, instead of only being viewable there.
Agent evals defined in your manifest now actually sync — push, pull, and status all understand the evals block instead of silently ignoring it.
Slack macro deliveries no longer get retired because of brief, unrelated network blips, so scheduled and triggered macros reach Slack more reliably.
Z.ai's GLM 5.3 flagship is now available in Brainbase's model pickers, with a 1M-token context window and tool calling for long-horizon agentic engineering.
Agents can now be pinned to a specific saved version, so new tasks keep running on a known-good setup even while you keep editing the agent.
GitHub-connected agents can now be granted scoped write access to push branches and commits, so they can open a pull request as part of their work instead of only reading your code.
Agent Benchmarking (beta) now lets each test case define its own checks and scoring weights, explains exactly why a case passed or failed, and can export a run's full results.
A managed agent run that stalls mid-task now reliably fails with an alert instead of going quiet, and the original failure reason is preserved end to end.
Agent replies triggered from Slack are now tracked until they're delivered, with an automatic fallback message if a run fails to reply, so a request never silently disappears.
A new GitHub integration setting lets your agent ignore other bots' review comments and summaries, so its review isn't anchored to another tool's findings.
Right-click delete on an agent or trigger in the workspace scene now asks for confirmation first, and a few related scene and settings bugs are fixed.
Some agent runs previously failed outright if the model provider closed the connection without producing any output; these requests are now automatically retried instead.
Z.ai's GLM 5.3 Flash — released today — is now available in Brainbase's model pickers as a fast, low-cost open-weight option with text, image, and tool-calling support.
MCP servers added to an agent through the API could be saved without error yet never actually be delivered to the running agent; this is now fixed for new and existing agents alike.
Standard members now consistently see and act only on agents, workflows, playbooks, skills, and connectors in the projects they've been added to, with the old Viewer role retired in favor of Member.
Agent Benchmarking (beta) now walks through run setup in three guided steps, lets you stop a run in progress, and shows exactly why each case passed or failed.
Displayed pricing for 22 of the 35 models in the catalog now matches what you're actually billed.
Any version in an agent's timeline can now be given a memorable name and restored, with accurate attribution for whether a change came from the web app, the CLI, or the API.
You can now benchmark an agent's performance directly in Brainbase: build a library of test cases, run them across multiple models, and track score trends over time without leaving the console.
The model picker got a full redesign so it's easier to find the right model: browse by Featured, Newly added, or Open-source, or drill into a specific research lab, with per-model pricing shown up front.
The Usage page's "Team budgets" are now "Project limits," with a slider to set the cap and a live marker showing exactly where a project stands in the current billing period.
A broad visual refresh across the console: redesigned charts, a more interactive agent workspace view, and clean-up across the Usage and Members pages.
CLI commands that fail to authenticate now name which credential actually caused it and give a fix that works for that case, instead of a generic "session expired" or "not signed in."
You can now connect, disconnect, and inspect an agent's Slack and meeting connections, and check MCP server status, directly from the terminal.
Projects can now be renamed from the console instead of being stuck with whatever name they were created with.
Every meaningful edit to an agent is now saved automatically as a version you can browse in a full timeline, with side-by-side diffs showing exactly what changed.
GPT-5.6 Sol usage is discounted 50% now through September 15, 2026 (Pacific time), with the savings shown directly wherever you pick a model, plus a more reliable delivery path for several recent OpenAI models.
If an agent manifest declared commands, hooks, or files, `brainbase agent push` could silently leave them out while still reporting success. Push now fails clearly instead of dropping content, and pulling an agent preserves it correctly.
You can now rename an existing CLI token to keep track of what it's used for, and revoking one token no longer signs out a different token stored on your machine.
Creating a token with the `--scope=<value>` or `--scopes=<value>` syntax could silently grant broader access than requested. The CLI now parses both flag forms correctly and rejects malformed scope input outright.
Agents can now generate images directly inside managed tasks using Brainbase-provided models and task-scoped access.
Strengthened default permissions for backend database functions so new ones can't accidentally end up more broadly accessible than intended, and added automated checks to catch this class of misconfiguration going forward.
`token create --scope publish` now creates a token scoped exactly as requested instead of a broader one, and installing a skill with a version range now fails clearly instead of silently resolving to nothing.
Signing in with the CLI now uses a short code you approve in the browser, fixing sign-in on Safari and making login work over SSH and inside containers.
Two new read-only commands let you find team and agent IDs from the terminal instead of copying them out of the web app.
You can now disconnect and reconnect the connected account behind an orchestration trigger without losing your trigger setup, and failed trigger deployments now show a clear reason instead of a generic error.
Model pickers now surface the most relevant models first, and you can change the model for a follow-up message right from the composer.
Starting a new task is quicker, and the new-task panel can now be resized to fit how you work.
Agent group pages no longer briefly show agents as standalone before their orchestration membership finishes loading.
When an agent posts a Slack message on its own initiative, replying in that thread now reliably continues the same task instead of sometimes starting a new one.
Running a SQL query against an agent's memory for the first time could fail outright instead of setting up storage automatically as intended.
When an agent pauses to wait on something external, the task list flags it and the task view shows what it's waiting for, with a one-click way to stop waiting.
On some agent runtimes, a clarifying question from the agent could go unnoticed and the task would incorrectly finish as done; this is now fixed.
Fixed a security issue in the page shown after connecting an MCP server that could allow a crafted link to run malicious script in your session.
Agent turns that are mid-run when Brainbase deploys a platform update now keep going instead of being cut off, and pick back up automatically if their session has to move.
When a Claude model briefly returns a 'model not found' error from its primary path, requests now automatically retry through a backup path instead of failing the turn.
Adding rows to an agent or orchestration memory table that has auto-generated columns, like an identity id, no longer fails with a database error.
Agent setup pickers are more consistent and accurate: machine settings open on click instead of hover, GPU controls only show up where they apply, and more runtimes and models now have their own icons.
The Billing page now shows your current billing period and credit refresh date, and the Usage page lets you filter usage stats to that same period.
Meta's Muse Spark 1.2 is now available as a model option for agents, and it's the first model on Brainbase that can natively watch and understand video, right alongside images and documents.
New users can skip onboarding and finish it later, instead of being forced through it in one sitting to start using Brainbase.
Task and thread titles are now generated more consistently and no longer get overwritten or lost once a name has already been set.
Inviting someone who's already on your team no longer silently fails.
Fixed several issues that could cause an agent run to fail outright instead of completing.
xAI's Grok 4.6 is now the featured Grok model across agents, flows, and chat, with a 500k-token context window, streamed reasoning, and vision support.
Usage-based billing and plan entitlements for teams under an enterprise account are now attributed and applied consistently.
You can now start an agent task directly from the command line, without opening the dashboard.
Agents that respond in Slack now know exactly who sent each message, fixing cases where they could confuse a message with someone else's identity — including across different connected Slack workspaces.
We've unified how access to threads, stored files, and attachments is verified across the platform, so it consistently reflects your team's actual membership.
We've broadened automatic secret redaction to provide more thorough, consistent masking of credentials across logs and stored messages.
When a row write to an agent's memory table is rejected, the memory tab now explains why instead of showing a generic failure.
The memory table editor now shows which column references another table up front, instead of only after a write is rejected.
Canceling a running task now measures usage correctly, and task completion events are delivered in the right order so a run's final status is reported accurately.
Skills added from the skill registry now install correctly into an agent's sandbox and from the console, instead of silently failing to install.
We tightened how integration credentials and custom secrets are stored and transmitted, so their values are never sent to your browser once saved.
The task timeline no longer shows a browser session replay pane, or a misleading playback error, on tasks that never used the browser.
Tasks created through the MCP integration now run automatically by default, matching how tasks behave when created from the app, instead of sitting idle waiting on a start that never happens.
A task whose final step is cut off mid-call is no longer reported as having completed successfully.
Skills now install under the name declared in their own instructions, so agents can reliably find and use a skill by the name they were told to use.
You can now choose how much compute an agent's sandbox uses — from a light default up to a larger tier — and override it for an individual task without changing the agent's setting.
Fetching an agent, or your full list of agents, no longer fails when one of an agent's skills comes from a GitHub source.
Agents now reliably boot with every skill they declare, fixing a case where a skill install could be removed and never replaced.
New agent onboarding no longer gets stuck bouncing between the creation form and the setup guide when you navigate back or reload mid-setup.
Agents can now turn on Auto to let Brainbase pick the best-performing model for each turn automatically, across every supported model or just open-weight ones, instead of you having to choose and manage a model yourself.
Session recording playback now recovers automatically from a bad video segment instead of freezing, so you don't have to refresh the page to keep watching.
Long task transcripts no longer get stuck on an infinite loading spinner after the task has actually finished successfully.
When a task run or model request fails outright, you now get a clear, specific error explaining what went wrong instead of an unexplained failure.
Agents that use Slack can now reliably open direct messages and read thread replies, fixing two failures that previously blocked those actions.
Creating a task or thread through the API is now safe to retry — resending the same request after a network hiccup reuses the original result instead of creating a duplicate.
You can now watch a browser agent's recorded session right inside the task view, synced to the event timeline, instead of downloading it first — and full downloads now start instantly with no length cap.
You can now download a recording of what your browser agent did during a task, even after its sandbox is gone, so you can review exactly what happened.
Workflow steps that pause for your approval or additional input now reliably stay paused when an automatic retry occurs, instead of occasionally completing on their own.
Workflow runs that post to Slack no longer include an extra internal status line alongside the real completion message.
Closes a remaining timing gap where a finished task could still show as Running and block you from adding a follow-up.
Moonshot AI's Kimi K3 is now available in Brainbase's model pickers, with support for text, images, and tool calling.
Connecting Brainbase to ChatGPT no longer fails because of inconsistent client ID matching, and retrying a connection attempt is now handled safely.
Browser screenshots in an agent's task history render as images again instead of falling back to raw JSON or a broken-image icon.
Orchestrations can now give every member agent one shared memory database, edited from a new Memory tab, instead of keeping each agent's memory separate.
Deleting an agent no longer fails with a server error if it has ever received a connector message or had a dedicated data backend provisioned.
Replying to an agent's follow-up question now always resumes the conversation, instead of occasionally leaving the thread stuck showing it still needs info.
The evals panel in a transcript's turn detail view now scrolls properly instead of clipping results once several evals are open.
Claude Opus 5 is now a featured model, with reasoning effort levels through max, a 1M-token context window, and up to 128k output tokens.
You can now @mention a playbook and attach files when creating a task or sending a follow-up, so the agent has the right instructions and materials from the very first message.
You can now remove individual files from an agent's shared folder right in the file directory, instead of asking the agent to delete them for you.
The usage page now clearly separates the credits you've spent in the selected time window from your cumulative plan total, so the two numbers no longer look inconsistent at a glance.
Connect Brainbase to your MCP client and manage agents, tasks, evals, schedules, skills, and playbooks directly from tools like Claude Code and Codex, secured with a dedicated OAuth sign-in.
Enterprise plans once again apply across every organization owned by the same account, so affected workspaces regain their full plan and the ability to invite members.
Files you attach when kicking off a coding task from Slack are now brought into the task workspace, so the agent can work with them from the start.
While an agent's computer is starting up, the task view now shows a startup notice before the first activity appears, instead of a generic spinner, so it's clear that setup is in progress.
Long-running and multi-step agent runs now report a finished status only when the whole run is genuinely done, so a task no longer appears completed while it is still working.
Teammates and members of groups an agent is shared with can now view that agent's evaluations and results, instead of seeing an empty evals view.
Connecting GitHub now returns you to Brainbase to finish setup, and reconnecting a previously removed GitHub app restores the integration automatically instead of leaving it stuck.
Starting a run or calling the API with a model that isn't available on Brainbase now returns an explicit "model not available" error, instead of a misleading authentication failure or an opaque run crash.
Editing rows in an agent's memory tables now always updates the row you selected, even when several rows share the same key value.
Recurring schedules set from inside a Claude Code agent now fire reliably in Brainbase cloud sandboxes, so time-based automations actually run instead of being silently accepted and never triggered.
Screenshots and image results from browser and task runs now render as inline thumbnails you can open full-size, and previews that had expired now refresh on their own instead of breaking.
The agent memory viewer now loads table data in a single round trip and lands with aligned headers and row actions, so browsing an agent's memory is quicker and easier to scan.
Thinking Machines' Inkling is now available for agents and chat — it handles both text and images, and it's free to use for now.
You can now pick the sandbox provider for any cloud agent when you create it or change it later, with E2B available as an option for every coding runtime.
Any member of an agent's team can now change its model and other preferences — previously only the agent's original creator could, and everyone else hit a permissions error.
GPT-5 and o-series models now run correctly on the OpenCode and Qwen coding runtimes, fixing an error that caused every turn to fail on its first model call.
Pick the coding runtime for any agent — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Factory, Qoder, OpenCode, or Qwen — when you create it or change it later.
The hosted browser tool now detects and clears CAPTCHA and anti-bot challenges on its own, so browser agents keep moving through sites that used to stop them cold.
Agents connected to Slack now read a thread's history once and then follow only new replies, so long Slack conversations no longer balloon context or cause runs to fail — and duplicate replays are gone.
Agents you create through the API now land in a group in your workspace automatically, so they show up in your dashboard alongside the rest of your agents instead of being created out of sight.
Workflow agents now send their answer as a normal chat message before ending a turn, so replies show up in the conversation instead of turns looking empty.
The Brainbase CLI now keeps your login fresh across sessions, signs in through the correct Brainbase app domain, and shows the control-plane endpoint you're connected to in login and whoami.
You can now rename an agent inline from its overview page, with instant validation and no full-page reload.
One API call takes an inline agent spec and a first message and gives you back a running thread — no separate create-agent step, and identical specs automatically reuse the same agent.
Connect agents to verified third-party MCP servers — including Datadog — in a click. The new directory prefills provider metadata, setup guidance, and the exact OAuth callback so most providers are one click away.
Slack macro runs now map to a single task across every reply path, and the completion message links directly to that task so you can jump from Slack into the full run in one click.
When an agent stops to ask a question — or a run cuts short before it can finish — the thread and task views surface the question and the reason clearly, with an Answer action right where you're watching the run.
Time spent by managed sandbox tasks now shows up in your credit usage as its own line, with only active minutes counted and team attribution preserved from the run onward.
Tasks can be renamed inline from the task detail panel, and the new title updates in place across the task list without waiting for a refetch.
xAI's Grok 4.5 is now selectable across agents, flows, and chat, with a 500k-token context window and streamed reasoning support.
The free signup credit claim is now reachable from the onboarding wizard and a compact banner in the sidebar, in addition to the Billing page, and disappears everywhere the moment credits are activated.
Running a macro on a workflow that also has webhook or schedule triggers now consistently starts from the macro trigger you chose, and macro invocations fail closed with a clear error if no macro trigger is configured.
Editing and testing app triggers is more forgiving: toggle saves no longer wait on slow provider option refreshes, and the Test trigger button gives clear, durable feedback instead of false failures or duplicate submits.
The Meeting MCP now accepts Brainbase personal access tokens and live API keys with an explicit profile selection, alongside the existing OAuth flow.
Claude Sonnet 5 is now a featured model, with reasoning effort levels through xhigh, a 1M-token context window, and up to 128k output tokens.
Macros can now be invoked with a slash command from v2 Chat and the developer Task view, macro-triggered workflows publish cleanly, and Slack macro results are always posted back to the originating thread.
When you draw a new connection between two agents, sending a message and continuing an existing task now works out of the box: Send a message is the first tool listed, and messaging tools are enabled by default for new connections.
When an upstream model provider returns a rate-limit or transient error to Brainbase's streaming path, the fallback retry now backs off with jitter and honors Retry-After headers instead of failing the run on the first stumble.
Three new GPT-5.6 variants — Sol, Terra, and Luna — are now selectable across agents, flows, and chat surfaces. Sol becomes the default model for new agents and flows.
Workflows can be renamed directly from the editor breadcrumb or the /dev topbar with a visible pencil affordance. Renames now persist reliably — including for personal workflows without a team — instead of appearing to save and then reverting.
Cursor, Factory, and Qoder agents now have a purpose-built key-entry flow: enter your vendor API key when you pick one of these harnesses, and Brainbase will prompt you to add or fix the key before a run fails — instead of leaving a mismatched agent to wedge silently.
The developer Task view now has a Browser tab that shows the same per-task browser session already available on live threads, with a view-only default and an explicit Take control mode when you need to interact.
Successful auto-reload top-ups now record the Stripe receipt link so the Billing activity row shows a View receipt button — the same way manual top-ups already do.
Enabling an auto-reload rule immediately checks your prepaid balance and tops up if you're already low, and a background scan catches wallets that dip below their threshold between charges — so top-ups no longer wait for a manual nudge.
New Brainbase accounts activate their free signup credits by verifying a mobile number on the Billing page. Paid top-ups, saved payment methods, and existing balances are unchanged — only the free grant is gated.
Meeting Assistant calls are free through August 15. After the promo, meeting time will bill at 1 credit per started minute — an update from the 10 credits per minute rate announced earlier this week. The promo callout is now visible on the Meetings connector before you enable it.
Save a payment method, set a low-balance threshold and a reload amount, and Brainbase will top your prepaid credit wallet up in the background — so agents, workflows, and playbooks keep running without a manual refill.
The old referral promo, invite dialog, and email-based invite flow have been removed. Existing accounts are unaffected — only the legacy invite entry points and their credit granting have been turned off.
Thread links across search, task lists, kanban, and sidebars now pick the right chat surface based on the thread's runtime — managed cloud and ACP threads open in the agent chat view, while legacy threads keep their existing chat view.
Setting up the Slack integration is now a step-by-step walkthrough: name the app, create it, install it into your workspace, then save credentials — with an inline video demo and a note for workspaces that require admin approval.
When you click a run of a managed workflow, it now opens in the agent's task chat surface — where every node's messages, files, and follow-ups live in one thread — instead of a separate legacy view. Older workflow runs still open in their original view.
Time spent in a Meeting Assistant call is now metered against your credit balance at 10 credits per started minute, so meeting usage shows up alongside your other agent activity in Billing.
The three-dot actions menu on sidebar threads — including the Delete thread option — is now reachable for every thread, including those near the bottom of a long sidebar list where the menu used to be clipped.
Recurring auto-joined meetings now book exactly one Meeting Assistant bot, so calendars that were edited with "this and following events" no longer end up with two bots joining the same standup.
Organization administrators can pull orchestration manifests through the Brainbase CLI even for groups they are not a direct member of, matching the access rules the rest of the platform already applies.
When you run out of prepaid credits, the Upgrade plan action in the credits, workflows, and playbooks limit dialogs now opens the in-app Billing page — where you can buy credits, top up, or upgrade — instead of the external payment portal.
Switching browser tabs and coming back no longer discards unsaved edits in the agent Instructions editor. Your typed-but-not-yet-saved changes stay exactly as you left them.
Trigger configuration dropdowns that return plain-text option lists — such as the Repository selector when setting up a GitHub trigger — now populate correctly across every trigger and action configuration surface.
Qwen, OpenCode, Cursor, Factory, and Qoder agents now display their official brand icons throughout Brainbase, making it easier to tell your agents apart at a glance in agent lists, thread panels, and side panels.
Wallet credit top-ups unblock new runs immediately, Team plan upgrades stay active under duplicate payment confirmations, and team credit tracking picks a consistent billing owner across debits and enforcement.
Brainbase now runs on a prepaid credit wallet: buy credits directly from a redesigned Billing page, save a payment method for one-click top-ups, and receive a one-time bonus credit grant automatically when you upgrade to a Team plan.
Choose how each connected integration behaves when an agent wants to use it — allow silently, ask for approval, or deny outright — per integration and per action, so agents only pause on the tools that matter.
The model picker in the new Brainbase chat now saves your choice on the conversation and applies it on the next turn, so mid-conversation model switches actually take effect instead of being cosmetic.
Three additional frontier models — GLM 5.2, DeepSeek V4 Pro, and Kimi K2.7 Code — are now selectable in every Brainbase model picker.
Enterprise teams can now designate a dedicated billing contact so invoices, receipts, and card-expiry notices go straight to the right accounts-payable inbox instead of the earliest team owner.
Brainbase's redesigned in-product experience is now the default when you sign in, with dedicated Settings, Members, Usage, and Billing surfaces and a refreshed group and agent navigation. The previous interface remains available at /legacy for continuity during the transition.
When an agent joins a meeting and the meeting provider returns a transient rate-limit or capacity response, Brainbase now retries automatically with backoff, so bursts of meeting traffic no longer cause join failures.
Credit usage now captures Codex Cloud and Claude Code Cloud agent activity at the same fidelity as Brainbase cloud agents, and LLM consumption inside sub-threads rolls up into the parent thread reliably.
Streamed agent responses recover from upstream failures more gracefully, with automatic retries on early or mid-tool-call failures, clearer error events when something does go wrong, and partial output preserved so future turns stay coherent.
The Brainbase naming rollout covers sign-in, browser metadata, MFA completion, and auth emails, keeping the auth path aligned with the rest of the product.
OAuth-backed MCP connections refresh credentials and reconnect more smoothly during long agent sessions, reducing tool interruptions when provider tokens rotate.
Execution-tool results carry compact failure context for edge cases like non-zero exits and Python tracebacks, helping agents recover from broken commands without confusing read-only logs or file contents for failures.
New accounts landing on the developer app now go through a short multi-step welcome wizard, and the Help → Tutorials experience matches it with the same full-page, decluttered Web and Code walkthroughs.
Each agent's persistent file system now has its own Filesystem tab in the developer sidebar — next to Memory and Browser — with a polished native file browser instead of an inline section on the overview page.
Chat composer uploads include workspace paths, startup retries, and first-message handoff support, making dragged, pasted, and selected files more reliable context for agent runs.
Permission-only pauses in chat are more direct: the approval card appears without an extra free-text step, while multi-question need-more-info flows still behave the same way.
Enterprise customers can now view their invoices, add a card on file, and see live payment status without leaving Brainbase.
Evals can now be judged by a full agent run instead of a single-shot model — the judge can open files, browse artifacts, and reason the same way the agent under test does.
API keys can now be given a human-readable name when created and renamed inline later, so it's easier to tell production, staging, and per-developer keys apart.
Each agent now has its own persistent file system — a shared workspace that survives across every thread and every run for that agent, so files written by one conversation are there for the next one to read.
The Files tab on the agent chat now loads the same way it does in the developer task view, so chats with cloud-runtime tasks no longer sit on a loading state forever.
New accounts landing on the developer app now see a guided UI-or-CLI onboarding chooser, and every developer page has a persistent help button linking to docs, an in-app tutorial wizard, and contact.
The developer Tools page and per-run task detail now show live health for each MCP server, with separate states for connected, not yet checked, and "couldn't verify this run" so an unverified or unhealthy server is no longer painted as healthy.
Several long-asked polish items now ship on the agent chat: per-day date headers, a thinking indicator during sandbox spin-up, a bookmarks panel, owner attribution for teammates, and a queued send-while-busy flow so mid-turn sends no longer drop or show the wrong banner.
The agent chat and developer surfaces now have proper small-screen layouts: a slide-out drawer for navigation, a full-width conversation, and a composer pinned to the bottom of the screen.
Orchestration connections can now expose multiple dispatch tools to the source agent and run in both directions, with the two directions drawn as parallel lanes on the canvas.
The bash script that prepares an agent's sandbox before the harness boots is now editable from a new Entrypoint tab in the developer sidebar, alongside Secrets and Instructions.
The tasks list and overview on an agent's developer page now show all of that agent's threads instead of a small slice, even when the agent's team is busy.
Prompt caching now survives multi-minute idle gaps in human-interactive threads, and team-connected agents stop paying a full prefix rewrite on every new turn.
Scraped tool or web content that contained an embedded null character no longer aborts the surrounding agent run with a database write error.
Installing a marketplace skill from the UI no longer surfaces twice in the CLI manifest, so `agent pull` and `agent push` work cleanly without an unusable placeholder entry.
Gemini 3.5 Flash is now available as the new free-tier Google model, replacing discontinued Gemini options that Google no longer offers.
`brainbase agent push` now writes playbook components alongside instructions, skills, and MCPs, so playbooks can live in source control and reconcile to your cloud agent in a single push.
Agents whose workspace has an active meeting integration now automatically get the built-in Meeting MCP installed, matching how Slack-connected agents already work.
Tools that need explicit user approval now consistently surface an approval prompt with the correct capability attached, instead of relying on the model to recover from the error mid-turn.
Organization-level settings tabs now appear in the settings dialog from any page that shows the agents sidebar, not just the team home, so admins can adjust team settings without backing out first.
Claude Code and Codex subagent runs now appear in team credits and usage reporting, bringing coding-agent spend into the same view as the rest of your model activity.
Pressing Stop in a workflow-driven thread now cancels the workflow itself, so the run cannot resume later and finish in the background.
Long threads stay smoother: idle background checks no longer redraw the whole conversation, and streaming only updates the message currently changing.
Claude Fable 5 is now available, with concise reasoning summaries enabled by default and four effort levels to choose from.
When an agent references a registry skill without pinning a version, each Brainbase CLI push now resolves to the latest published version.
The bot name and avatar saved in Meeting Setup now carry through to the meeting attendee, so participants see the identity you configured.
Slack threads no longer receive a redundant completion summary after a workflow finishes. The agent's own posted result remains the final message.
Starting the same workflow again from Slack or the dashboard now creates a fresh run, even when the inputs match a recent run.
Workflow agent steps now recover from transient timeouts and stay focused on the current step before handing control back to the workflow.
Unreadable or truncated images now produce a clear error after one retry, instead of failing the entire agent run.
Follow-up messages to Claude Code or Codex in Slack and Teams now continue the same coding task instead of starting a new one every time.
Slack workflow commands can now collect inputs directly in the thread with a Run button, alongside the existing modal flow.
Gmail, Linear, and other app triggers now collapse duplicate deliveries into one workflow run, so one source event does not create multiple threads.
App triggers that rely on polling now check for new events about every 15 seconds instead of every 15 minutes.
Threads started from Slack now use the workflow's naming convention instead of staying named after the slash command.
Slack-triggered workflows now finish with the workflow's final output instead of re-posting an earlier acknowledgement.
Persistent memory can now be enabled or disabled per agent from the sidebar, with a confirmation step before memory is turned off.
Configure HTTP and HTTPS proxies for an agent's browser sessions, including regional egress, authenticated networks, and staging environments.
The orchestration view remembers your camera angle, and agent pages opened from an orchestration keep a breadcrumb back to that orchestration.
The Brainbase CLI can now show orchestration triggers, including app triggers such as Linear issue updates.
Slack and Teams messages can now start Claude Code and Codex agents as background coding tasks that post results back to the thread.
Give an agent a calendar email, invite it to a meeting, and it will join on time, capture the conversation, and bring the transcript back into the thread for summaries, follow-ups, and next steps.
Integration setup forms now hide internal fields, so triggers and actions only ask for the information your workflow actually needs.
When you start a workflow from Slack, the confirmation message now includes the inputs you submitted so you can verify the run without leaving Slack.
Skills you publish with the Brainbase CLI can now be attached to agents and appear in the UI, so published custom skills are ready to use.
Orchestrations created in the UI now pull and push cleanly through the Brainbase CLI, including members that did not start from a local checkout.
Turn on recovery mode to block risky follow-up actions after a tool fails, while keeping read-only inspection available so the agent can understand what happened first.
SVG and other unusual image attachments now convert or fall back gracefully instead of breaking the message.
Workflows started from Slack or the web app now resume correctly after a reviewer approves a paused step.
Create custom modes with your own names and transitions, backed by stricter validation and clearer instructions for the model.
Team admins and owners can transfer an agent to another team member directly from the agent side panel.
Kafka now supports Anthropic's newest Opus model, including low-to-max effort controls and Fast mode.
Teams can launch Kafka workflows directly from Slack with custom slash commands and reliable one-response delivery.
Enterprise teams can connect their own SAML identity provider, auto-provision users on first sign-in, and merge matching existing accounts.
Kafka workflows now wait for missing input instead of failing, then resume when the needed details arrive.
Version history now shows who made each meaningful edit across agents, playbooks, and workflows.
Enterprise admins and owners can review contract terms directly in Billing without asking Brainbase staff.
Kafka now recovers from desynced external trigger deployments and gives clearer errors when publishing cannot proceed.
The model picker remembers the chat model you chose for each thread, so opening it later picks up where you left off instead of resetting to the agent default.
A Google-Docs-style preview for past Kafka workflow versions: click a version in history, view it on the canvas hermetically, then Restore or Exit.
