Runchat Updates: May 4, 2026

⏰ AGENT TASKS

• You can now define agents that run on their own on a schedule on https://runchat.com/dashboard/tasks
• Each agent has an initial prompt, chat config and workflow to use as a scratch pad
• Agents can run workflows and check their work, leave notes for you or themselves, work together in teams and a bunch more
• We're already using agent tasks for <@1482615099972915251> and will be sharing these with the community for anyone who wants to build their own marketing agents.

📺 TUTORIAL SERIES

• We now have a full Runchat 101 series on youtube and the docs
• This makes it super easy to learn runchat from the ground up

🌸 DEEPSEEK PRO AND COST/SPEED TOGGLE

• You can now set a toggle to prefer the cheapest or fastest provider for models hosted on openrouter
• This is especially useful for models like deepseek where the price difference is 1/5th the price of the most expensive provider
• Deepseek is extremely cheap. You can generate workflows or write python scripts for ~10 credits.

⌛ MORE POWERFUL CODING SANDBOX

• The improved sandbox allows agents to write much more powerful and flexible code using any node / javascript api
• It also paves the way for creating full custom apps backed by databases, using external libraries and rendering multi-page web apps to the canvas (soon...)

🏷️ LABELS AND OTHER UX POLISH

• Nodes now have labels. This makes it easier to tell which nodes the agent is referring to when you're creating workflows with the agent
• Workflow privacy is now displayed on the dashboard
• We now remember your chat settings so they persist across chats
• Artifact nodes show the published url be default
• Agents can read images from urls
• Double click zooms to nodes without opening the image editor
• Team members can switch to their own personal subscriptions when team credits expire

Whats next? More powerful agents, apps and sandboxes...
