What's New in 0.2.0

Question Tool — AI agents can now ask you questions mid-task

Your agents can pause and ask for your input before continuing. When an agent needs a decision from you, a question card appears inline in the conversation — you pick an option (or type your own answer) and hit Submit. The agent picks up right where it left off.

  • Options are presented as a clean list — radio buttons for single choice, checkboxes for multi-select, plus a free-text "type your own answer" field on every question
  • Multiple questions can be bundled into a single prompt
  • Refresh the page mid-question and come back — the form is still there waiting for you
  • After you answer, the card collapses to a compact "Answered: your choice" summary right in the timeline
  • If the agent is stopped before you answer, the card switches to a read-only view of what was asked

Smarter model picker

The model selector now surfaces the models you actually want to use instead of making you scroll through a long list. Flagship and fast/small models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google are pinned to the top in a consistent order every time you open the picker.

The selector now shows provider / model name when closed (e.g. anthropic / Claude Sonnet 4.6), so you can tell providers apart at a glance. The "Add Provider" menu now shows all providers — ones you've already configured appear faded rather than disappearing.

Google models now work. Configuring a Google API key in workspace settings will now actually activate Google models in the picker.

Light mode — now a first-class experience

All seven themes now look intentional and polished in both light and dark variants.

  • Cards and panels are clearly visible against the background
  • Hover effects on buttons and list items are clearly visible across all themes
  • The theme picker shows each theme name rendered in that theme's own gradient colors
  • When an agent is actively working, every element in the row stays readable under the gradient
  • Button hover glows now use each theme's own gradient colors

Message streaming fixed

Text now streams character-by-character as the agent responds, instead of appearing all at once when the response finishes.

"Skills" — renamed from "Patterns"

The Skills library (previously called Patterns) has been renamed throughout the UI for clarity.

Reliability fixes

  • Queued message indicators now clear correctly when a newer assistant reply has already finished — no more turns stuck looking like they're still waiting
  • Server errors no longer redirect you to the setup screen
