2026

40 releases
11 JUN 2026
AgentsPlatform

Claude Code and Codex subagent runs now appear in team credits and usage reporting, bringing coding-agent spend into the same view as the rest of your model activity.

11JUN 2026
WorkflowsThreads

Pressing Stop in a workflow-driven thread now cancels the workflow itself, so the run cannot resume later and finish in the background.

10 JUN 2026
ThreadsPlatform

Long threads stay smoother: idle background checks no longer redraw the whole conversation, and streaming only updates the message currently changing.

10 JUN 2026
AgentsPlatform

Claude Fable 5 support is live in Brainbase, with concise reasoning summaries enabled by default and four effort levels to choose from.

10JUN 2026
AgentsCLI

When an agent references a registry skill without pinning a version, each Brainbase CLI push now resolves to the latest published version.

09JUN 2026
AgentsIntegrations

The bot name and avatar saved in Meeting Setup now carry through to the meeting attendee, so participants see the identity you configured.

09JUN 2026
IntegrationsWorkflows

Slack threads no longer receive a redundant completion summary after a workflow finishes. The agent's own posted result remains the final message.

05JUN 2026
WorkflowsIntegrations

Starting the same workflow again from Slack or the dashboard now creates a fresh run, even when the inputs match a recent run.

05JUN 2026
WorkflowsAgentsPlatform

Workflow agent steps now recover from transient timeouts and stay focused on the current step before handing control back to the workflow.

05JUN 2026
AgentsPlatform

Unreadable or truncated images now produce a clear error after one retry, instead of failing the entire agent run.

05 JUN 2026
AgentsIntegrations

Follow-up messages to Claude Code or Codex in Slack and Teams now continue the same coding task instead of starting a new one every time.

05JUN 2026
IntegrationsWorkflows

Slack workflow commands can now collect inputs directly in the thread with a Run button, alongside the existing modal flow.

04JUN 2026
WorkflowsIntegrations

Gmail, Linear, and other app triggers now collapse duplicate deliveries into one workflow run, so one source event does not create multiple threads.

04JUN 2026
WorkflowsIntegrations

App triggers that rely on polling now check for new events about every 15 seconds instead of every 15 minutes.

04JUN 2026
WorkflowsIntegrationsThreads

Threads started from Slack now use the workflow's naming convention instead of staying named after the slash command.

04JUN 2026
WorkflowsIntegrations

Slack-triggered workflows now finish with the workflow's final output instead of re-posting an earlier acknowledgement.

04JUN 2026
Agents

Persistent memory can now be enabled or disabled per agent from the sidebar, with a confirmation step before memory is turned off.

04JUN 2026
Agents

Configure HTTP and HTTPS proxies for an agent's browser sessions, including regional egress, authenticated networks, and staging environments.

04JUN 2026
Agents

The orchestration view remembers your camera angle, and agent pages opened from an orchestration keep a breadcrumb back to that orchestration.

04JUN 2026
CLI

The Brainbase CLI can now show orchestration triggers, including app triggers such as Linear issue updates.

04JUN 2026
AgentsIntegrations

Slack and Teams messages can now start Claude Code and Codex agents as background coding tasks that post results back to the thread.

03 JUN 2026
AgentsIntegrations

Give an agent a calendar email, invite it to a meeting, and it will join on time, capture the conversation, and bring the transcript back into the thread for summaries, follow-ups, and next steps.

03JUN 2026
IntegrationsWorkflows

Integration setup forms now hide internal fields, so triggers and actions only ask for the information your workflow actually needs.

02JUN 2026
IntegrationsWorkflows

When you start a workflow from Slack, the confirmation message now includes the inputs you submitted so you can verify the run without leaving Slack.

02JUN 2026
CLIAgents

Skills you publish with the Brainbase CLI can now be attached to agents and appear in the UI, so published custom skills are ready to use.

02JUN 2026
CLI

Orchestrations created in the UI now pull and push cleanly through the Brainbase CLI, including members that did not start from a local checkout.

29MAY 2026
Agents

Turn on recovery mode to block risky follow-up actions after a tool fails, while keeping read-only inspection available so the agent can understand what happened first.

29MAY 2026
AgentsThreads

SVG and other unusual image attachments now convert or fall back gracefully instead of breaking the message.

29MAY 2026
WorkflowsIntegrations

Workflows started from Slack or the web app now resume correctly after a reviewer approves a paused step.

29MAY 2026
Agents

Create custom modes with your own names and transitions, backed by stricter validation and clearer instructions for the model.

29MAY 2026
AgentsPlatform

Team admins and owners can transfer an agent to another team member directly from the agent side panel.

28 MAY 2026
AgentsPlatform

Kafka now supports Anthropic's newest Opus model, including low-to-max effort controls and Fast mode.

28MAY 2026
IntegrationsWorkflows

Teams can launch Kafka workflows directly from Slack with custom slash commands and reliable one-response delivery.

27MAY 2026
SecurityPlatform

Enterprise teams can connect their own SAML identity provider, auto-provision users on first sign-in, and merge matching existing accounts.

27MAY 2026
Workflows

Kafka workflows now wait for missing input instead of failing, then resume when the needed details arrive.

27MAY 2026
WorkflowsPlaybooksAgents

Version history now shows who made each meaningful edit across agents, playbooks, and workflows.

27MAY 2026
Platform

Enterprise admins and owners can review contract terms directly in Billing without asking Brainbase staff.

27MAY 2026
IntegrationsWorkflows

Kafka now recovers from desynced external trigger deployments and gives clearer errors when publishing cannot proceed.

27MAY 2026
ThreadsAgents

The model picker remembers the chat model you chose for each thread, so opening it later picks up where you left off instead of resetting to the agent default.

26MAY 2026
Workflows

A Google-Docs-style preview for past Kafka workflow versions: click a version in history, view it on the canvas hermetically, then Restore or Exit.
