A really big upgrade.
What's new
- Agent Tab — manage multiple agents simultaneously and monitor the background tabs they (and their subagents) are using. Toggle between the Agent tab and the sidebar to suit your workflow, and control how tabs auto-close when agents finish.
- Subagents — agents can now spawn subagents to work in parallel and keep the main agent's context lean. Complex multi-step tasks complete dramatically faster. Available to subscribers on named models.
- Context summarization — on by default so long chats don't blow up the context window and burn credits. Want the full window? Toggle Ultra mode in the model dropdown.
- Screenshots via MCP — your IDEs and CLIs can now actually see the page and make informed decisions.
- Google login — sign in or sign up with Google, and link Google to an existing Aera account.
- New sidebar / Agent tab UI — tool calls, thoughts, and subagents group together, separating actions from answers.
- Profile-scoped chats, tasks, and notifications — create browser profiles whose agents only see what that profile is logged into.
- New model — Kimi K2.5, a lightweight, cost-effective model that works well in multi-agent workflows.
- Plus a list of bug fixes too long to print.
Notes
