• Enabled enabling and disabling MCP servers on the fly using the /mcp enable and /mcp disable commands.(CLI)
• Introduced four default layouts: agent, editor, zen, and browser for easier customization.(2.3)
• Enabled switching between layouts using the keyboard shortcut Command (⌘) + Option (⌥) + Tab (⇥).(2.3)
• Enabled moving backwards through the layout list by including Shift (⇧).(2.3)
• Introduced Conversation Insights to analyze agent sessions, categorizing work type (Bug fixes, refactoring, explanation) and complexity.(enterprise-dec-2025)
• Enabled sharing of agent conversations via read-only transcripts, which can be forked to start new conversations from the same context.(enterprise-dec-2025)
• Added Billing Groups functionality for enterprise users to map usage and spend to organizational structure, set budget alerts, and track team adoption.(enterprise-dec-2025)
• Extended Linux sandboxing support for agents, complementing existing macOS support, allowing scoped access control.(enterprise-dec-2025)
• Launched Service Accounts for non-human automation, enabling secure configuration, API calls, and cloud agent invocation without tying workflows to individual developer accounts.(enterprise-dec-2025)
• Introduced Debug Mode which instruments the app with runtime logs to help reproduce and fix tricky bugs across stacks, languages, and models.(2.2)
• Enabled a new browser sidebar and component tree for simultaneous design and coding, allowing real-time element manipulation, color updates, layout testing, and CSS experimentation.(2.2)
• Added the ability to select multiple visual elements and describe desired changes in text to initiate an agent for visual updates.(2.2)
• Added support for inline Mermaid diagrams in Plan Mode, allowing agents to automatically generate and stream visuals into plans.(2.2)
• Enabled sending selected to-dos to new agents for more granular control over plan building.(2.2)
• Implemented Multi-agent judging, which automatically evaluates parallel agent runs and recommends the best solution with an explanation.(2.2)
• Introduced AI Code Reviews directly in the editor to find and fix bugs within your changes via a sidepanel.(2.1)
• Enabled Instant Grep (Beta) so that all agent-run grep commands, including manual sidebar searches and regex searches, execute instantly across all models.(2.1)
• Introduced a new Multi-Agents editor featuring a sidebar for managing agents and plans.(2.0)
