A leaner, sharper build agent
The agent now pulls in exactly the knowledge it needs per task, with lessons from real sessions baked into its skills.
New
Free plan limits, and a clearer path to upgrade
Free accounts now have defined limits, and hitting one opens a one-click upgrade instead of a dead end.

Drafts that wait for you
The builder now keeps your unsent message per app, so switching apps or leaving no longer eats what you typed.
Fixed

Copying a share link no longer silently fails; it now fires reliably on tap.

Longer builds without losing the thread
The build agent now slides a window over its session history, so long builds do not run out of room to reason.
