Botloft 0.3.0
Pre-alpha. Routines: your bots now work on their own at the times you set.
What's new
- Routines. Open a bot, go to Routines and tell it what to do and when: every day, weekdays, chosen days, or every so many minutes or hours, at a time in your time zone. At that time the bot gets your request and does it; the result shows up in its chat, marked "Routine · name".
- See how each one goes: the next time it runs, how the last run went, a switch to turn it off and on, and Run now. A run that failed puts a mark on the Botloft icon in the taskbar until you open that bot.
- Sensible rules out of the box: if the last run hasn't finished, the next one is skipped (or waits its turn, if you choose). If the computer was off at the time, the routine runs once when it's back on, not once for every time it missed. A paused bot skips its times.
- For the crew: the crew's page lists the routines of all its bots.
- For those who want it, a cron expression under More options.
Updating from 0.2.0
Botloft offers this version in the title bar ("Update available"). Your bots, their conversations and their files stay. Botloft doesn't wake the computer to run a routine: the computer needs to be on, with you signed in to Windows.
New install
Download Botloft_0.3.0_x64-setup.exe below and run it. It installs for your Windows user only. The installer is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may say "Windows protected your PC": click More info, then Run anyway. You need Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) and Claude Code with a plan that includes it.
Bots run as your Windows user and are not sandboxed: give them only the permissions you would give Claude Code directly.
