Runchat Updates: March 31, 2026

🐰 PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS

• We've made some changes to our engine that should dramatically improve the performance of the canvas editor. It should be possible to work with hundreds of nodes and keep the experience smooth
• We've also made some changes to our authentication system that should reduce the latency on all requests (signing in, running nodes, loading the dashboard etc)

🟢 BETA: REALTIME COLLABORATION AND CANVAS SYNC

• We've shipped changes to how we save, load and share runchats that make real-time collaboration much smoother. For now this is in beta, you can enable it from runchat.com/dashboard/preferences
• When you enable realtime sync, multiple users can view and edit the same workflow (if they are both on the same team). You can also share public workflows with people who aren't on your team and they will see any changes you make in real time.
• When you have realtime collaboration enabled you can also enable Canvas Awareness from the chat settings. This allows the agent to read and write directly to the canvas to build workflows, update nodes and prompts, answer questions about your project and so on. We're actively working on this and so you can expect the capability of this agent to keep improving.

🔄 MUCH BETTER UNDO / REDO

• If you enable realtime sync from the preferences you will also turn on a new undo / redo system
• This is much more reliable than the current system and handles more undo and redo steps than before

▶️ RUN SELECTED NODES

• You can select nodes on the canvas and run just these selected nodes. We've removed the old "run downstream nodes" button from the node settings bar.

If you have any issues with these new features please let us know, there might be a few bumps to work out. But they now enable exciting things:

• Fast, native agents to interact with the canvas like other real users
• Custom components with any UI you can imagine
• Custom agents!
