v0.4.0: Aera is now free to use

What's new

• Free version of Aera — use the sidebar for free, within limits, indefinitely, just by signing up. No payment information required. This is not a trial.
• New frontier models — Opus 4.6, Gemini 3.1 Pro, and GPT 5.3 Codex.
• MCP dashboard — monitor MCP activity and status, and replicate Aera's own tool calls when building your automations. Nothing is hidden behind the scenes. MCP is also significantly more stable.
• PDF and wider document support — the sidebar can now read PDFs and many more document types.
• Longer-running tasks — stability fixes for long sessions, including on the free tier.
• Auto-update fixes — the update button now appears reliably, and updates apply automatically going forward.
• New agent tools for broader functionality across more sites.

To update: download from getaera.app or go to Settings → About Aera → Relaunch.
