OpenBot 0.44.0 & 0.44.1 🚀
Better ways to work with agents
- Agents can ask questions using buttons, quick replies, choice lists, and forms.
- A new Tasks page brings agent tasks together, grouped by what needs your attention: Needs you, Working, Waiting, and Closed.
- View your OpenBot activity over the past year and create a shareable recap image.
- Set a memory limit for agents on a joined server.
- Owners and admins can configure it in Server settings.
More control over the built-in browser
- Take over an agent’s browser tab at any time, then hand it back so the agent can continue.
- Open, duplicate, move, and organize tabs from the tab menu.
- Find open tabs and recently visited pages from the address bar, or stop a page while it’s loading.
- Use familiar keyboard shortcuts in the expanded browser view.
Safer, more reliable integrations
- Agents no longer receive MCP sign-in tokens directly; OpenBot adds them to tool requests.
- Signing out or removing an MCP server revokes its tokens, and expired tokens can renew during a long-running session.
- OpenBot now gives clearer sign-in status and lets you cancel an in-progress provider sign-in.
Reliability improvements
- OpenBot can recover if a power loss damages server settings, and saves settings more safely to help prevent data loss.
- Changing a member’s role no longer disconnects the server and everyone on it.
- Retry a message after a provider refuses its first attempt without leaving the agent stuck.
- Provider CLI updates wait for an active turn to finish, then start automatically.
- Routine answers no longer appear twice in a Claude chat after an OpenBot restart.
Settings no longer gets stuck on an empty page.
Files & tools
- Open large local files over 100 MB from the file panel, even when they can’t be previewed.
- Claude agents can use tools from your shell’s PATH when OpenBot is opened from Finder, the Dock, or a login item.
