Files now has a resizable split view that previews a file beside the tree; double-click still opens it in a tab.

When you have multiple connected accounts for an app, Zo now uses the specific account you picked instead of falling back to your default one.
Your Personalize name now accepts non-Latin characters like Japanese or accented letters.

The model picker now shows exact BYOK model IDs and provider details in the detail panel.
Files now has a + Add toolbar button with built-in cloud import options for Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Notion.

The model picker now has a fourth price tier ($$$$) for premium models, with cost ratings based on fixed thresholds so they stay consistent as the lineup changes.

Your remaining AI credits now appear in chat.
Fixed: chats no longer get stuck on a 'Response interrupted' error when a model returns an empty response — Zo now automatically falls back to another model and keeps going.
Week of Jun 1, 2026
A tool that runs too long now shows as a 'timed out' step inline instead of dropping your whole turn, so the chat keeps its place.
Chats on the Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI providers now fail fast with a clear error when a model connection stalls, instead of hanging until a long timeout.
Fixed: redeemed promo credit now shows on your billing page right away instead of lagging behind the actual grant.
Improved chat reliability — transient server connection hiccups now auto-recover instead of leaving a thread stuck.
Fixed: chats running on the Claude Code provider no longer shorten their history too early — large-context models like Opus 4.8 now use their full context window instead of being capped at 200K tokens.
Retired models now forward automatically to their successor, so older chats and automations keep working when a model is deprecated.
Fixed duplicated SMS replies when texting Zo over Codex or Gemini CLI.
Fixed: a custom per-page social-preview image, title, or description on a Space page is no longer overwritten by your site-wide defaults.
Models you've turned off in Settings → AI → Models no longer appear in the model pickers; the currently-selected model stays visible until you switch away.
Chat feedback — long enough conversations or chats with tool runs now show a thumbs-up / thumbs-down / heart bar at the bottom, with an optional comment box for sentiment-matched feedback.
Fixed Gemini CLI chat models. Recent gemini-cli versions default folder-trust on, which was incompatible with the Zo agent runtime.
Claude Code / Codex / Gemini CLI error cards now show the underlying error message from the model CLI instead of a bare error code.
The agent's bash safety check no longer false-positives on legitimate rm -rf <path> commands. (Previously the regex tripped on any rm -rf /... path, even valid absolute paths inside the workspace.)
Redesigned the page visitors see when a Zo Space's host is asleep.
Inline integration buttons now render correctly in the chat when chatting through Codex or Claude Code — previously the agent could claim it surfaced a connect button on those models without the card actually appearing.
Week of May 25, 2026
Added MiniMax M3 as a new chat model in the picker, replacing MiniMax 2.7. Existing threads and automations stay on M2.7 until you switch them.
Added Claude Opus 4.8 as a chat model. Existing threads and automations continue on 4.7 until you switch them.
Long URLs in the markdown editor's link bubble menu now truncate with an ellipsis instead of overflowing the editor container.
Fixed: on the macOS desktop app, dragging the window from the empty space around the traffic-light buttons works again.
Each automation's detail panel now shows its trailing-30-day cost next to cadence and pause, so per-automation spend is visible without diving into the billing Usage tab.
Pipdedream integrations with files work better: when a tool name includes upload, local file paths are automatically staged to presigned URLs.
Plan cards now show the exact custom domain limit per plan (3 / 5 / 10) instead of a generic "Custom domains" line.
Fixed: when you have multiple X accounts connected, Zo now errors and asks which one to use instead of silently posting from the oldest connected handle.
Improved model reliability — when a model returns an empty response, Zo now falls back to another model immediately instead of burning through silent retries.
Model picker now uses three plain-language visual signals — brains (1–3) for quality (SWE-bench verified), a zap badge for fast models, and for cost tier.
The top-right corner button now cycles through layouts (split, chat-only, center-only).
Week of May 18, 2026
BYOK gpt-5.5 now works through the Codex subscription provider.
Fixed: scheduled automations no longer waste round-trips calling create_agent / edit_agent — those tools are correctly excluded from schedule mode, and the tool-guidance prompt now also stops advertising them in scheduled runs.
Syntax highlighting in code blocks and the Monaco editor/diff now follows your active Zo theme — switching themes recolors code live, replacing the previous fixed Tokyo Night palette.
Chat tab context menu now has Rename chat and Share chat actions, reusing the existing rename/share dialogs (disabled for unsaved draft tabs).
Chat composer polish — controls no longer overlap drafted text. The editor now has a dedicated scrollport, while whitespace taps still focus the input via the request-focus path.
Chat tabs now persist across browser reloads/restarts — tab state and the active index are stored in localStorage, with a one-time migration from the legacy sessionStorage keys.
Fixed: /ask no longer trips the edge WAF when an open file contains exploit-shaped strings (e.g. markdown prose like DELETE FROM messages WHERE …) — the open file is sent by path and read server-side instead of inlined into the request body.
Mid-stream model drops (the upstream closes without a finish event) now surface as a retryable interrupted marker in chat, instead of being silently persisted as a truncated reply.
Credit top-up maximum is now $5000 (both one-time and auto top-up). Minimum stays $5.
Chat reader polish — composer button is now Send (was Go), the + attach button sits left of the persona/model pickers, tool-output code blocks scroll horizontally by default (preserving line numbers), tool-call failures use a quieter dimmed style, and the chat switcher dropdown opens on long-hover and shows recent chats in the empty state.
Fixed: chat message actions (copy, branch, persona, model) are now always visible on mobile instead of being hidden behind a hover-only state.
Chat dropdown toolbar — the new-chat + action now sits next to the active chat title, and the share affordance has moved into the trailing controls before focus/collapse.
Left rail polish — a quieter Settings shortcut now sits beside the account dropdown (works in the collapsed rail too), with tighter footer spacing, account badge alignment, and rounded collapsed-nav hover states. The dense "Ways to chat" secondary action is removed from chats empty states.
Fixed: scheduled automations on the new agent runtime now resolve and persist the right persona — runs use the per-agent persona instead of the main chat persona, and conversation history shows the persona that actually ran.
You can now view your spend by conversation, or by automation, at the bottom of the Billing → Usage page.
You can now disable individual models globally in Settings → AI. Disabled models are filtered out of every model picker, including when Zo picks models on your behalf.
Improved agent tool returns — create_or_rewrite_file now returns a short Wrote N lines (M bytes) to /path confirmation, edit_file_llm / edit_file return a one-line size summary instead of the full post-edit file, publish_site accepts absolute workspace paths, and truncated tool output now has a prominent banner.
Chat footer selectors (model, persona, recent files) now refocus the chat input after a selection, and a new ⌘⇧. / Ctrl+Shift+. shortcut opens the persona picker.
Export Space to Site — copy a selection of zo.space routes into a new standalone Zo Site.
Chat now has a scroll-to-bottom button that appears when you've scrolled up from the latest message.
Fixed: ⌘K command palette results stay scrolled to the top while you type, so the top match is always visible.
The Search tab is now the default landing page when you open a new editor tab via + or ⌘T, replacing the Files tab.
GitHub integration detail in Settings now has an inline Connect dialog — kick off the gh auth login device-code flow directly from the integration page, matching the in-chat Connect widget.
Week of May 11, 2026
Subscription providers (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini) now connect through an in-app sign-in dialog — just click Connect and complete the connection flow inside the Zo UI.
GitHub is now a first-class target for the inline Connect widget — when Zo needs GitHub access, it surfaces a Connect card in chat that opens the gh auth login device-code dialog directly.
Integrations detail in Settings now uses a master-child layout — a sticky toolbar with the integration's brand icon and a back button, matching the personas, rules, and providers pattern.
New users now see recommendation chips on the home screen for connecting integrations and channels, making first-time setup easier to find.
Inline Connect widget — when Zo needs to authorize an integration, it now renders a Connect button inline in chat, instead of routing you to Settings.
Zo can now read and write events on your Outlook calendar after connecting it from Settings → Integrations.
MCP connections now refresh near-expiry OAuth tokens proactively in-flight.
⌥P (Alt+P) now toggles the chat switcher dropdown, and the dropdown is a filterable combobox — type to filter open chats by title.
The chat composer now sits inside a single scroll area — the gutters flanking the composer card no longer eat mouse-wheel scrolls, and the bottom of the message list fades softly into the composer.
Editor tab strip — fixed stuck active state on duplicate tabs, drop-indicator placement, and assorted drag-and-drop bugs.
Free pay-as-you-go — Free users with a working payment method on file can now use premium built-in models, with monthly free allowance consumed first and metered usage taking over after that.
MCP integrations – connect hosted MCP servers like Linear, Logfire, PostHog, Notion, Cloudflare, Sentry, and Ahrefs to your Zo so the agent can call their tools. Browse the catalog from Settings → Integrations and connect via OAuth or API key.
You can now drag to resize the left rail, and iOS buttons now produce subtle haptic feedback on tap.
Paid plans can now hide the "Built on Zo" badge on their public Space site — toggle it from the new Branding section in Space Settings.
Added DeepSeek V4 Pro and DeepSeek V4 Flash to the model picker.
The markdown editor body now widens on extra-wide screens — 80ch at xl and 96ch at 2xl, while the frontmatter panel and narrower viewports stay at the previous width.
Week of May 4, 2026
Reworked the Redeem section in Billing to be easier to find — discount-code entry and the surrounding billing widgets got a consistency pass.
Mobile chat now uses a single scroll area — the outer scrollbar that briefly appeared alongside the inner chat scroll has been removed.
File upload and import progress popups now sit just below the mobile tab bar instead of being hidden behind it.
Telegram bot now replies inside forum topics in groups — @-mentioning Zo in a non-General topic now posts back into that topic instead of falling silent or landing in General.
Zo Space sites now support per-page title, description, and OG image overrides on top of site-level defaults.
Paid plans can now hide the {handle}.zo.space overlay text on auto-generated Space OG cards — toggle it from the OG section of Space settings.
Zo now writes user-facing output to /home/workspace by default so finished files show up in your file browser instead of being buried in conversation scratch space.
Fixed the desktop app on Windows rendering a blank content area after minimize/restore.
You can now long-press a file or folder in the mobile file tree to open its action menu.
More mobile layout polish across automations, sites, persona editing, and the chats list.

SQLite viewer now refreshes alongside chat changes and gained a manual refresh button.
Discord /connect signups now route through OAuth — get_discord_info (guilds, members) works for new connections, and existing token-less bindings repair themselves with one OAuth round-trip.
Fixed the model picker silently reverting your selected per-thread model after app restart — restored selections now stay local to that conversation.
Model picker now toasts when it auto-switches your selected model — silent BYOK fallbacks no longer corrupt your stored preference.
Streamlined the markdown editor toolbar — reorganized formatting controls.
Free-plan windowed allowance now also applies to background jobs, image and video generation, browser-use, and audio/video transcription — not just chat.
get_discord_info now supports a members resource — list members from connected Discord servers.

SQLite viewer now supports column sorting and drag-to-reorder columns — your view state persists per table.
Automations without an explicit persona now run as the default persona instead of with no persona.
