What’s new in ConsoleX
Everything we’ve shipped, month by month.
2026
October 2026
- ConsoleX: a new homepage and a new workspace. Home shows what ran, what needs your attention and what runs next; Tasks, Chats, Capabilities and Library each have their own section.
- Save as task: turn any chat into a reusable task in a few steps. AI organizes the conversation into instructions and suggests checks for the result.
- Task templates with a built-in definition of done: ready-made tasks for content repurposing, personalized outreach, research, meeting notes, competitor reports and more, each checking its own results.
- Templates are checked before they run: missing connections, keys and blanks are flagged in place, and you can try a run before the schedule starts.
- Acceptance criteria for any task: keep the default standard or let AI draft a checklist from your instructions.
- Clearer run results: failed runs explain why in plain language with a suggested fix, every run shows its cost (with checking cost listed separately), and result emails include a summary and a link to the report.
- Run with new materials: start a task from its Run menu with new files or text; the saved task stays as it is.
- Run trajectories: step through each run’s model turns and tool calls to see what happened and where the cost went.
- Optional fix suggestions after a failed check. You review every change; nothing is applied automatically.
- One place for tools and Skills: a single Capabilities list where you connect services in place and star favorites, plus one + panel in the composer for files, tools and Skills.
- Default capabilities: choose the tools and Skills new chats and Agents start with. Each chat, task and Agent then keeps its own list.
- A tool you turn off is no longer used, even in a reply already running. Tools an MCP server adds later wait for your approval.
- A simpler composer with a Faster–Smarter reasoning slider, and Quick Snippets with highlighted [blanks] to fill in.
- Pinned Agents now appear in the chat sidebar, with one-click unpin.
- Reliability: failed tool calls are no longer charged, interrupted scheduled tasks no longer run twice, and schedules keep your local time.
September 2026
- ConsoleX for Mac: a desktop app for Apple silicon and Intel Macs, with a new Downloads page.
- Artifacts library: everything the assistant builds is saved privately, with search, type filters, stars, a full-screen view and a link back to its chat.
- Quality checks for scheduled tasks: set acceptance criteria (generated or picked from presets), check every run automatically, and read a report with evidence for each criterion.
- Improve tasks from their results: get suggested instruction changes from a checked run or your own request, review the diff, apply it and roll back at any time.
- Scheduled tasks get their own pages with run history, checks and version history.
- New models: GPT Image 2.5 (Flare and Sunburst, with transparent backgrounds), MiniMax H3 and Seedance 2.5 for video.
- Model hub: filter by provider or keyword, and test a model’s connection in one click.
- Import Skills from the Hermes Skill Registry, and fork a conversation from any AI reply.
- Reliability: replies now reconnect automatically after a dropped connection.
