Runchat Updates: July 07, 2026
Build custom apps for workflows, run chat with speech-to-text, and experience smarter agents with improved vision and reasoning capabilities.
🚀 CUSTOM WORKFLOW APPS
The Runchat agent can now create custom HTML apps to run your workflows via our API. This allows you to build dedicated tools like custom rendering galleries or team-specific utilities. Make your published apps private to you and your team, or public on the internet to anyone with a link. Apps can persist user state and results so you can remember preferences and past generations. Design and republish your apps directly within Runchat for a seamless development loop.
🎙️ VOICE AND SPEECH SUPPORT
We've added speech-to-text functionality to the chat input and all text fields. This allows for a completely hands-free experience when prompting or configuring nodes. Streamlined for professional environments where quick verbal commands are faster than typing.
🤖 SMARTER AGENTS AND REASONING
We now stream reasoning text back to the chat so you can see the agent's thought process in real-time. Agents can now specify exact LLM models on prompt nodes and have better reliability with output formats. We’ve audited and simplified agent tools to ensure they follow instructions more consistently. The vision system is improved; non-vision models can now ask vision models specific questions about images to verify conditions.When agents connect new edges to a parameter we now provide a simple report on all edges connected to the node to improve how agents replace existing connections when re-wiring examples.
🛠️ PUBLISHING AND UI REFINEMENTS
A new parameter picking UI makes it easier to choose which inputs to expose when publishing. When updating a runchat, omitting fields will now automatically reuse settings from the previous version. We've also removed the option to publish only selected nodes - this should make it a little less confusing when trying to release new versions of workflows and it simplifies the UI
⚡️ INTEGRATIONS AND PERFORMANCE
We've added support for Nano Banana 2 Lite for low cost image editing. Optimized provider routing for GLM, Kimi, and Xiaomi to ensure better cache hit rates and lower credit costs. Fixed a rendering bug where SVGs were not displaying correctly in the gallery or editor.
