Runchat Updates: February 15, 2026

🏎️ MAJOR FPS SPEEDUPS

• Smaller workflows (<100 nodes) should run at 60fps now, really smooth
• You should be able to run much, much larger workflows than you could before (we've tested up to 1000 nodes).
• This is important because...

🤖 DESIGN AGENTS ARE HERE

The search bar at the bottom of the editor is now a direct interface with the Runchat design agent. The agent can do a lot of really interesting things:

• It can search and use all generative models
• It can ask you to approve models before it uses them (to save spending all your credits)
• It understands your design intent and can flesh out prompts and explore ideas
• It can work with selected images to make edits, or use multimodal llms to understand them

The agent can also use workflows as tools, and this is much more natural than it was with the old Agent node:

• The agent knows about all your tools and will prompt you to allow it to use them if it thinks they will be useful
• It will call multiple tools in parallel (e.g. to search for multiple things at once, or fetch content from multiple pages at once)
• It's pretty good at working with lots of tools. E.g. a tool to get google links, then a tool to inspect page content, then a tool to get images

For images in particular, the agent is really amazing.

🖼️ AUTOMATICALLY CREATE NODES AND IMAGES

• When the agent uses any tool, you can add it to the canvas as a node so you can customize it and re-run it
• When it uses tools that find images (e.g. search or create tools) these all get added to the canvas automatically
• It will zoom to created nodes and lay them out nicely for you
• You can select them to keep chatting about them, select multiple to ask to combine things, or sketch over them.

The node menu is now a fair bit simpler (just models, tools, gallery and chats), and we'e updated the home page with some demos. Have fun!
