New Computer Use: Flowly can now act on the Mac directly open apps, click buttons, switch windows, read on-screen text. The bot reads the same semantic UI structure as VoiceOver so it can act on labels you'd say out loud ('the Sign In button in Safari') instead of guessing pixel coordinates. Sandboxed by default; every action visible in the Activity tab.
New Live tool-turn panel: Every assistant message ships a collapsible panel that streams tool calls (file edits, shell, search, computer-use) in real time, with per-tool renderers. The Activity tab's audit view uses the same renderers so history looks identical to live chat.
New In-app file preview: Click a file path the bot mentioned (markdown link or inline code) to open a resizable, syntax-highlighted side panel. Relative paths auto-resolve against common project roots; directories still reveal in Finder.
New Artifacts cloud sync: Canvases, slides, docs, and code sync automatically across signed-in devices. Offline-aware queue, S3-backed previews, 10 MB size cap (up from 500 KB).
New Screen-aware Coach (macOS, opt-in): When you enable it, a native ScreenCaptureKit sidecar shares lossless captures of the window under your cursor with the model alongside audio, so tips can reference what you're actually looking at. ElevenLabs Scribe v2 STT adds [YOU]: / [OTHER]: speaker labels. Dual-Cmd forces a tip mid-session. Notch escalates to always-on-top with a 3-second watchdog.
New Knowledge Graph overhaul: Floating detail panel, click-through entity relationships, in-app entity deletion (cascades to triples), liquid-glass zoom controls, flicker-free node drag.
New What's new modal: First launch after auto-update opens release highlights with a hero matching the website's auth screen and a link to the full changelog.
New Welcome-screen otter mascot (opt-in): Vector otter toggleable from Settings Appearance. Eyes track your cursor while you type, mouth opens pink when you paste, blinks idly.
New Hey Flowly wake word: Production-ready on-device wake-word integration. Talk hands-off when the notch is live without holding Fn.
New Skill library expanded: 30+ new built-in skills covering finance modelling (3-statement-model, DCF, Excel authoring), GitHub workflow (PR review, repo management, code review), design and docs (concept diagrams, Excalidraw, PowerPoint authoring, nano-pdf), and SaaS integrations (Notion, Linear, Airtable, Google Workspace). Browse the full catalogue in Dashboard Skills.
Improvements Sandbox by default: macOS uses sandbox-exec, Linux uses bubblewrap; deny-list profile blocks writes outside the workspace. Master switch in Dashboard Settings. Skill marketplace surfaces per-plugin risk labels.
Improvements Composer attachments: Upload-first flow with per-file status (queued/uploading/ready/failed), 50 MB video uploads, correct serverId/conversationId on every upload.
Improvements Windows / Linux parity: Platform-aware default hotkeys, modifier labels, voice shortcut hints, and smart-pause process detection. Dedicated Windows tray icon.
Improvements Coach quota visibility: Live progress bar in Settings Usage and the sidebar usage popover. Pre-flight gating stops the session cleanly on STT 429.
Improvements Coaching settings is now a floating panel matching the rest of the app's side-panel pattern.
Improvements Dashboard regrouped: AI Tools and Security promoted to top-level groups. Pre-Sonoma macOS gets a friendly capability warning.
Improvements Shared AlertDialog adopts the liquid-glass theme app-wide with softer corners.
Fix Activity tab now scrolls instead of clipping; Radix ScrollArea wrapper repaired.
Fix Tool output rendering is cleaner: stray wrapper markup removed, escape sequences normalised, and excessively long blobs collapse to a short summary by default.
Fix Artifacts: 8 small UX bugs (delete confirm cancel, sort persistence, distinct empty/loading/error states, a11y labels).
Fix Coach screenshots use a quality + cursor-display target that keeps small on-screen text legible to the model.
Fix Granting macOS Accessibility from onboarding registers the global hotkey live; no app restart needed.
Fix Coach Start gated on Flowly AI gateway availability so it doesn't 404 immediately.
Fix Computer Use finds targets more reliably: matches against multiple element attributes (not just the visible label), suggests the closest candidates when an exact match misses, and avoids re-using stale element IDs after a window changes.
Fix Terminal emulators (iTerm2, Terminal, Alacritty, Kitty, Ghostty, Wezterm) get clipboard paste instead of synthetic key events.

Internal Sentry on artifact sync with scope tags. Persistent sync cursor avoids re-uploads after cold restart. Window-hidden poll pause for limits + bot updates. package.json at 1.4.0.
This is interesting a personal AI with memory could be really useful. Curious how people can manage or edit what it remembers?
Flowly
the notch overlay is such a thoughtful choice, feels way less intrusive than another floating widget. really nice execution on something most AI tools get wrong.
Flowly
@aguvenoglu54912 Thank you — that one took way more iterations than it probably looks like 😄 The whole idea was that your agent should live where your eyes already are, and stay invisible until you summon it. "Less intrusive" is exactly the bar we were aiming for, so this genuinely made our day.
Hakan, most helpers happily tell you how to do a task and then leave you to it, so one that quietly carries it out for you is refreshing. The quick shortcut to summon it is a nice touch too.
Flowly
@amine_aziz_alaoui That's honestly the exact bar we build against — less "here's how you'd do it," more a chief of staff who just handles it, quietly, and shows you the log if you want to look. Glad the shortcut landed too; "one keystroke away" was one of those small details we argued about way too long 😄
Curious what you end up handing it first — that's usually where we learn the most.
@hakanorensy Probably the "glue" work that fragments deep focus: chasing down a dataset or an access, turning a messy pile of findings into a clean shareable update, keeping a running log current across parallel threads. None of it is hard, it's the context-switching that kills the deep work, so handing it off (with the log to peek at) is exactly the dream. I'll report back on what breaks first !
Flowly
@amine_aziz_alaoui Thanks!!!
