Otto 0.2.3

New

  • A calmer place to start. A new chat now opens on a quiet welcome: a small Otto who follows your cursor and blinks, a greeting for the time of day, the message box in the middle of the screen, and a few suggestions (Brief me on today, Draft a doc, Research a website, Automate something). In a code project you get coding suggestions instead. It scales with your window, and once you send a message the chat goes back to normal.
  • Your bots are part of Otto's family. Bots now look like Otto: his shape in their own colour, wearing one accessory for their job (glasses, headset, hard hat, beret or antenna). Their eyes show what they're up to: glancing up while working, crossed when something went wrong and closed when offline. Pick a different look in the bot editor; photos and emoji you chose yourself are kept.
  • Bring a bot into any chat. The new-chat screen shows your bots under "Bring in". Hover to see who's who, and click one to @mention it.
  • Videos go fullscreen in the Browser, and file upload buttons on websites now open a file picker.

Changes

  • Switching spaces keeps everything running. Moving between your spaces no longer restarts Otto: agents keep working, and drafts stay where you left them.
  • Terminals live in the work drawer. Agent and bot terminals sit in the panel on the right of Chat instead of a separate page, and the drawer only opens when you choose to look.
  • Links that open a new window now open as a Browser tab inside Otto, instead of in another browser.
  • "Always allow" applies straight away. Choosing Always allow on an approval now covers the run that's already going, and is remembered for that bot.

Fixes

  • Bots no longer open blank. If a bot's conversation lost its place, Otto now reopens the saved conversation instead of an empty chat.
  • Fixed a rare freeze when waiting work was cancelled.
