Runchat Updates: March 5, 2026

📺 TUTORIALS

• We've been working away on some video tutorials to help you get more consistent and controlled renderings and illustrations from Nano Banana. There are three videos in the series and you watch the first here: https://youtu.be/Ck1cW7q5bmM
• We're also working on some more examples of using Runchat for generative design, and James has a new video out on using ThreeJS / Rhino / Blender for simulations in Runchat: https://youtu.be/AxryzyV63ys

🫧 CLEANER MENU TABS

• It's now easier to tab around in the search menu coz the tabs are always visible
• We've also added a "menu" button to the chat bar to make it quicker to find what you need

⚡ GEMINI 3.1 LITE

• This is a super fast model that is quite good at tool calling and very cheap. This is great if you're wanting to do things like quickly find images on the net, or just experiment with tool calling and chat.

🔔 BETTER ALERTS

• These shouldn't stack up anymore
• These should show nice little expiry animations
• If you have a workflow open that's not yours, you'll see a badge that it's readonly (no more alert stacking)

🦏 RHINO UPDATES

• Loading scripts should work more reliably on mac
• There's a button in the plugin window to load the script browser
• If you're running into the White Screen Of Death with Rhino, just resize the plugin window to reload it (and please let us know about the issue here, we'd love to fix this eventually)

We've got a truckload of new things in the works that we will roll out over the next few weeks, can't wait to share these with you all.
