OpenMausBot 0.1.121

This release starts every new workspace with one assistant that brings in its own specialists, lets your bots on the Cloud open Google, YouTube and Instagram through your own computer, and lets you take control right where you watch a bot's screen. Update to get it. There is nothing else to do.

New

• One assistant from the first minute. A new workspace starts with its Chief of Staff.
  • When a job needs a specialist, it adds one itself, says so in one line, and you can Undo it. When your goal matches a ready-made team, it builds that team for you.
  • In Simple mode, New bot opens the assistant's chat with a request already typed, so you just say what the new bot should do.
  • The welcome asks for nothing up front. If an AI already works (a signed-in Claude or ChatGPT, an API key, or the Cloud's included credit), bots use it straight away. If none does, one Connect an AI step shows the recommended sign-in first.
  • Existing setups keep the bots they have. (#3204)
• Your bots on the Cloud browse from home where it matters. Turn on Let my bots use this Mac (this PC on Windows) in Settings → MausBot Cloud.
  • Your bots on the Cloud then open Google sign-in and search, YouTube and Instagram through this computer's own internet connection. These sites turn away data centres; through your connection they work as they do for you.
  • Every other site still loads straight from the Cloud, which is much faster.
  • It works only in your own conversations and routines, and the menu bar shows In use while bots use your computer. (#3201)
• Take control right where you watch. On a Private desktop or a VPS, press Take control and, in about a fifth of a second, the picture in the panel becomes the live desktop. Click and type straight into it.
  • Hand control back, or simply close the panel, and the bot carries on by itself.
  • Cloud desktops no longer refuse Take control. (#3218)
• React to a bot's message to answer it. Point at a message and pick 👍 👎 ❤️ 😂 🎉 or 👀.
  • A 👍 or 👎 on a bot's question is your yes or no, and the bot carries on.
  • The other reactions never start any work; the bot sees them with your next message. (#3203)
• Automations report into the bot's own chat. A result arrives as a normal message from the bot, with See run for the full run.
  • A run with nothing new stays quiet.
  • A run that needs you asks right there, and you can answer by typing, tapping or reacting. (#3225)
• Everyday words.
  • "Engine" is now AI.
  • The Computer tab is now Screen.
  • Cloud computer and Local VM are now Cloud desktop and Private desktop. (#3205)
• Delete all threads… in a bot's … menu. Running threads and routine runs are kept, and it tells you what it deleted. (#3224)
• Halloween. Ten Halloween bodies a bot can wear, from pumpkin to vampire, and a Halloween skin that dresses every bot up. Thanks to @aivsomkar. (#3215)

Fixes

• A busy Cloud stays up. When many bots browse at once, new work waits for memory instead of bots being stopped, and a stopped bot's browser closes at once. Thanks to @AdityaUmale. (#3222)
• Running out of credits says so. An out-of-credits refusal no longer shows a false "at its limit · resets …" date, and a working turn clears a stale limit. Thanks to @jagtapazad. (#3213)
• Lending your screen: once My Cloud's call ends, the screen is free for its next call right away, instead of being refused as "in use locally" for 40 seconds. Thanks to @AdityaUmale. (#3212)
• Read aloud keeps three parts ready ahead of the voice, so long replies no longer pause between parts. Thanks to @bradhallett. (#3189)
• Threads: deleting threads no longer pulls hidden ones into view, and deleting the open thread opens the top one in the list. (#3224)

OpenMausBot updates itself. If it doesn't, download the installer for your system below and install it over the old one. Your bots and chats are kept. MausBot Clouds move to this version on their own.
