Highlights

VS Code Extension

IDE-integrated chat sidebar that connects to the EloPhanto gateway as another channel adapter. Chat with the agent from VS Code with full IDE context injection — active file, selection, diagnostics, open files. Same conversation across all channels.

  • Chat panel with streaming responses, crop marks, tool step indicators
  • Chat history panel — load and switch between past conversations
  • Tool approvals via native VS Code notifications with risk classification
  • Right-click context menu: Send Selection, Explain This Code, Fix This Code
  • Status bar with connection state (connected/disconnected/thinking)
  • Gateway checker on startup (does not auto-launch — vault password requires terminal)
  • New Chat button (UI-only clear, never wipes agent memory)
  • Close panel button, tooltips on all controls
  • Design matches the web dashboard aesthetic

Business Launcher Skill

New business-launcher skill — 7-phase pipeline to spin up revenue-generating businesses end-to-end.

  • All business types: SaaS, local service, professional service, ecommerce, digital product, content/media
  • B2B vs B2C classification drives pricing, content style, launch channels, growth tactics
  • 7 phases: Classify → Validate → Plan → Build → Deploy → Launch → Grow → Operate
  • Smart payment handling: checks knowledge_search, vault_lookup, wallet_status for existing credentials before asking the owner
  • Cross-session execution: goal checkpoints, knowledge persistence, autonomous mind continuation
  • Type-specific launch channels: tech → Product Hunt/HN; local → Google Business/Yelp/Nextdoor; B2B → LinkedIn/email outreach

OpenAI as First-Class Provider

  • GPT-5 and OpenAI models fully supported alongside Claude
  • Smart tool prioritization for OpenAI's 128-tool limit
  • Tool profiles for context-aware filtering
  • Temperature parameter fix for GPT-5 models

Autonomous Experimentation

New experimentation tools inspired by karpathy/autoresearch — the agent can design, run, and analyze experiments autonomously.
