WorkBuro 1.0.16

Agent mode reads an attached picture, and joins the conversation it is switched on in.

Agent mode

An attached picture is now read by the model in agent mode. A picture pasted into the composer
arrives as a data URL with no file behind it, and the provider config declared every model as
text-only, so the picture was accepted, recorded, and never actually sent. It is now written into
the workspace and handed to the agent, and each model is declared with the sight it really has, so a
model that reads pictures in the chat reads the same picture with agent mode on.

Switching agent mode on mid-conversation no longer loses the thread. The agent is told what was said
before it was switched on, and what was said while it was off, without repeating anything it already
holds. Previously the conversation was handed over once, ever, so anything discussed later was
invisible to it.

WorkBuro 1.0.15

Search is chosen in Settings, and the chats panel slides.

Search

Settings -> Tools -> Search now offers three ways to search: your own SearXNG instance, a search
API key (Brave or Tavily), or the model provider's own search. All three fall back to the bundled
reference sources (Wikipedia, Stack Overflow, Hacker News, Open Library) when the chosen one is not
available, and every answer says which source it came from.

One click sets up SearXNG where Docker is available. It writes the settings file first, because the
image ships with its JSON API off and answers 403 to every query otherwise, then waits until search
actually answers before reporting success. Search that finds nothing says so rather than inventing
an answer.

Interface

The chats panel slides instead of appearing: a drawer over the chat in a compact window, with a
scrim that fades with it, and a panel that pushes the chat across in a wider one. While closed it is
inert, so it cannot be tabbed into or clicked off screen.

Fixes

Choosing a model now moves the endpoint, its key and its affinity together, so no provider can be
sent another one's credential. A model-count notice no longer paints over an open Settings panel.

WorkBuro 1.0.10

What is new

Pictures the agent makes now appear in the chat, with the drawing state shown while it works.

Ask for more than one. Set a count and a single call returns several pictures.

Change a picture you already have. Give the agent a picture from before and it edits that one,
rather than drawing a new one from your words. Edits use the image-to-image model in Settings under Images.

A real image tool for the agent. The agent has an image tool of its own, so it can act instead of
describing what it would have drawn.

Files the agent writes can be opened. Open and Reveal work on anything the agent produced, and the
agent is told where your pictures are kept.

One key per provider. Every provider has its own key field with a Test that tells you whether it works.

Hundreds of models across every provider you have a key for, searchable, grouped by provider, and
labelled with the provider they come from.

Install

Run WorkBuro-Setup-1.0.10.exe, or take WorkBuro-1.0.10-portable.exe if you would rather not
install anything.
