What's new in Houston

Houston 1.0.6

What's new

• Mistral Large 4 is now the default Mistral model.
• Routine history tells you when a routine can't run as its owner. If the person a routine runs as can no longer use the AI Employee, the failed run says so and tells you the fix: pause the routine and resume it.
• Only a routine's creator can create or replace its webhook key. Everyone else still sees whether the routine has a webhook, along with who can change it.

Fixes and polish

• Pressing Stop no longer leaves an AI Employee stuck as busy.
• Skills shared with your team now load in every chat with an AI Employee running in the cloud.
• If your team's allowed models name an older Claude model, members can pick Claude again instead of being sent to OpenRouter.
• Reloading the page while Houston saves your first conversation no longer leaves your AI Manager's chat empty.
• A routine always runs as the person who last saved it.
• Additional reliability improvements under the hood.

Before you upgrade

• Quit Houston before installing. macOS doesn't always replace a running app. If in doubt, delete Houston from Applications and drag the new copy in.

• PRODUCT-2048 — Control plane: bound transcript decode memory and huge-exponent numbers on read
• PRODUCT-2047 — E2B turn sync must not accept routine edits written from the shell
• PRODUCT-2036 — Trigger bindings must not move across orgs on a routine id collision

Houston 1.0.5

What's new

• Your AI Employee tells you what it's about to do. Before it starts working with your apps or files, it writes one short line, so you see a reply start within seconds instead of waiting while it works.
• Claude Haiku 5.5 is available in the model picker.
• "Every N minutes" routines run exactly N minutes apart. A routine set to every 16 minutes now runs every 16 minutes all day, instead of starting over at the top of each hour.

Fixes and polish

• Messages to AI Employees with many files are accepted faster.
• Routines in the cloud keep what they remember between runs, so they no longer repeat work they already did.
• A routine deleted while it was running no longer stays "running" forever.
• The notice that your session is ending now spans the whole window.
• Additional reliability improvements under the hood.

Before you upgrade

• Quit Houston before installing. macOS doesn't always replace a running app. If in doubt, delete Houston from Applications and drag the new copy in.

Performance

• PRODUCT-2010 — AI Manager history read on a missing conversation wakes its pod (~5.7 s 404)

Houston 1.0.4

Fixes and polish

• The first reply in a new chat finishes sooner. For AI Employees running in the cloud, Houston now names the conversation while the reply is written, not after it. That saves about 3 seconds.
• Replies start faster in chats with many shared images. Your AI Employee no longer waits for every earlier image to load before it starts answering.
• The Houston icon shows in your browser tab on every Houston site, in white on dark tabs.
• Additional reliability improvements under the hood.

Before you upgrade

• Quit Houston before installing. macOS doesn't always replace a running app. If in doubt, delete Houston from Applications and drag the new copy in.

Houston 1.0.3

What's new

• Use your AI Employees from other apps. Settings has API keys again, and each AI Employee has an API access page with its ID. Houston can also create a key for you right in the chat.
• A heads-up before Claude signs you out. Claude's sign-in ends about every four weeks. Houston now warns you a few days before and shows where to reconnect, so your routines keep running.
• New AI Employees are ready in seconds. Their first day shows up the moment you create them, and you can start it right away.
• Empty folders show in the sidebar, and it's clear where each folder ends.

Fixes and polish

• Replies stream reliably, even when the connection catches up late.
• A message you send while your AI Employee is still answering is never lost. It waits and goes out when the reply ends.
• A reply that stalls recovers on its own, and a reply stuck repeating itself now stops.
• The effort level you pick is used on every message.
• A routine run that couldn't start says why, in your language.
• Additional reliability improvements under the hood.

Before you upgrade

• Quit Houston before installing. macOS doesn't always replace a running app. If in doubt, delete Houston from Applications and drag the new copy in.

Houston 1.0.1

A small update after 1.0.

What's new

• Your plan is always in view. On Free, the bottom of the sidebar shows how much of your week you have used, with an Upgrade button that opens Billing. On your phone it sits in More.

Fixes and polish

• An edit you make to a routine is never undone by your AI Employee saving its own change at the same moment.
• Houston stays connected while it sits in the background, instead of reconnecting every few minutes.
• AI Employees you aren't using stay asleep instead of being woken by the app in the background.
• Additional reliability improvements under the hood.

Before you upgrade

Houston 1.0.0

Houston 1.0 is here, and Houston is out of beta. Thank you for building it with us.

Plans, and a gift for our beta testers

• Plans start on October 1, 2026. Your plan is personal and covers you in every space.
• Free is for personal use. It has a weekly usage limit, shown as a percentage of your week. Houston lets you know as you get close, and if you reach the limit it tells you when your usage resets.
• On Free, one routine runs at a time, at most every 15 minutes. If you have several, you choose the one to keep running. The others stay saved.
• On Free, routines pause after 7 days away. When you come back, Houston asks if you want to resume them.
• Plus is USD 15 a month with our launch discount, down from USD 20. You keep going without waiting, all your routines run, and they keep running while you are away.
• Teams is coming soon, so your whole team can work on Houston together.
• A thank-you gift for our beta testers. If your account was created before October 1, 2026 and you have never had Plus, your first month of Plus is USD 10. Then it is USD 15 a month. There is no deadline.
• A new Billing screen in Settings shows your plan, your weekly usage, your routines and your invoices. Upgrade or manage your payment from there.

Meet Houston, your AI Manager

• Your AI Manager is named Houston. It builds your team, hands out the work and keeps track of it.
• New to Houston? It welcomes you in its own chat. It helps you connect your AI, asks a few questions about your work and builds a starter team with you. Then it takes your first goal and you watch it pick who does what and get started.
• AI Employees give each other missions. A Teamwork setting on each one decides who it gives missions to and who it takes them from. Every mission shows who started it, including "Started by Houston".
• Houston can do more for you: connect your apps and your AI through secure cards, rename missions and find your past chats.
• Talk to Houston from Slack. Connect it in Settings > Channels and continue the same conversation in the app.

A new home for your team

• The sidebar is your team. It lists Houston and your AI Employees, with "Connect your apps" and "Connect your AI" at the bottom. Your account menu holds your spaces, Profile, Admin, the Academy and Settings.
• Groups replace teams. Arrange your AI Employees into your own groups with drag and drop. Your arrangement is yours and never changes anyone else's.
• Admin opens on your org chart, with the hours your AI Employees worked this month, who ranks first, and who manages or uses each one.
• Pick your colors. Settings > Appearance offers Light, Dark or System, plus a palette for each mode that you see change live.
• On Mac, the title bar blends into the sidebar for a cleaner window.

AI Employees that learn your work

• Hiring starts from an industry and a role, picked from a catalog you can search, then a name and a color.
• A new AI Employee starts with a first day. It introduces itself, offers three concrete jobs, does one with you on a real case and saves it as a Skill.
• Skills read as workflows: numbered steps you edit in each AI Employee's settings.
• GPT-6 Luna is the default ChatGPT model.

Work and routines you can count on

• If Houston restarts in the middle of a task, the task picks up once on its own, and your AI Employee tells you what carried over.
• A routine that keeps failing for the same reason pauses itself after 10 tries and tells you the one fix, like reconnecting an account.
• A routine that has run for a long time keeps running, instead of failing once its chat grows too long.
• Routine history keeps every run, even when several run at the same time.
• The routine screen shows the model the routine runs.
• A routine your AI Employee sets up runs on the same AI as the chat it came from.
• Replies start sooner.

Fixes and polish

• A folder Houston cannot write to says so, instead of failing in silence.
• After Houston summarizes a long chat, you see the reply, not the summary.
• Connecting a model that runs on your own computer saves correctly.
• Signing in on a computer with no default browser tells you what to do.
• An update download retries a short hiccup on its own.
• On Windows, a missing WebView2 is named, with the fix.
• A folder name with a space in it no longer blocks your AI Employee's commands.
• Additional reliability improvements under the hood.

Before you upgrade

• Quit Houston before installing. macOS doesn't always replace a running app. If in doubt, delete Houston from Applications and drag the new copy in.
• On Free with more than one routine, Houston asks you to choose the one to keep running. The others stay saved.
• Your teams become groups with the same AI Employees. Team pages and team notes are retired.
• An AI Employee already named "Houston" keeps its name. New ones can't take it.
• Some things moved or are retired: the Agent Store and the skills marketplace leave the app, the help menu is gone (Report bug stays in Settings), and the tour is two lessons in the Academy.

Known limitations

• Teams is not available yet.
• Slack appears in Settings only where your Houston is set up for it.

Houston 0.6.24

The newest Claude models

• Sonnet 5.5 and Opus 5.5 are here. Sonnet 5.5 is the new default for everyday work; Opus 5.5 takes on deeper, longer tasks.
• Claude gets its full 1M-token memory. Long conversations keep far more context before Houston has to summarize them.
• A simpler Claude menu: Sonnet 5.5, Opus 5.5 and Fable 5.1. Agents on an older Claude model move to the newest one of the same kind.

Fixes and polish

• Additional reliability improvements under the hood.

Houston 0.6.23

Your work is not interrupted

• An answer in progress finishes before Houston restarts, so an update never cuts a reply in half.
• A stuck turn tells you it is stuck, instead of quietly repeating itself.

Routines that run as they should

• A routine woken by an event runs as the person who set it up, with the right access.
• The routine screen stops spinning forever when a trigger is slow to answer.

Fixes and polish

• Choosing a model stays within what your agent is allowed to use.
• A model running on your own computer stays connected, even when the desktop sits idle.
• Saving or opening a downloaded file explains itself instead of showing a raw error.
• Signing in to Claude without internet says you are offline, plainly.

Houston 0.6.22

Updates that finish what they start

• A large update keeps going after your connection drops, resuming where it stopped instead of starting over.
• Houston checks for a new version once when it opens, so startup is quicker and quieter.

Skills and connected apps behave

• Finding and installing a skill is more dependable, with searches that end on their own and skills that no longer exist kept out of the list.
• Disconnecting an app while it is still connecting no longer looks like a failure, the row simply goes back to available.

Fixes and polish

• Houston opens reliably on Windows.
• Your saved routines keep loading, even when an odd character slips into them.
• A model key that gets rejected explains what to fix, in plain words.
• Dictation tells you what went wrong when it stops unexpectedly.
• Your usage limit clears as soon as it resets.
• A mission you just started appears on your board while the agent wakes up.
• Additional reliability improvements under the hood.

Houston 0.6.21

New integration: ManyChat

• Connect ManyChat from the curated integrations list, so your agents can work with your chat marketing right away.

Custom integrations you set up yourself

• Sign in to a custom integration with your own account when the service supports it, instead of hunting for an API key.
• Give a custom integration your own name and icon, so it looks right alongside the rest.

More room to read

• Mission chats open in a wider view, so long answers are easier to follow.

Fixes and polish

• Connecting a model on your own computer tells you the truth, with honest wording instead of an endless wait.
• The restart to update button is easier to spot.
• Very long conversations keep working, and a heavy task no longer takes the agent down with it.
• A dropped connection no longer reads as a failed answer, and an expired session recovers on its own.
• Additional reliability improvements under the hood.

Houston 0.6.20

New integration: HighLevel

• Connect HighLevel from the curated integrations list, so your agents can work with your CRM right away.

Smoother answers and a steadier board

• Replies and their follow-up suggestions arrive together, as one complete answer.
• Your task board stays accurate, so a slow refresh no longer undoes a change you just made.

Fixes and polish

• Houston reopens properly after an update on Windows.
• Moving a workspace between machines is more reliable, with large transfers no longer running out of time.
• Additional reliability improvements under the hood.

Houston 0.6.18

A new model

• Use GPT-6 Astra for your work, now available in Houston's model picker.

Start from an agent you already have

• Create a new agent by copying an existing one, right from the create dialog.

Fixes and polish

• Conversations with Gemini recover on their own, so a hiccup mid-answer no longer stops your turn with a retry card.
• Connecting your own local model explains what went wrong, with the reason shown next to the connection instead of a silent failure.
• Signing in again clears the old error, so a provider that failed before stops looking disconnected once you reconnect.
• Additional reliability improvements under the hood.

Houston 0.6.17

Updates that wait for you

• Houston no longer restarts itself to update. A new version downloads quietly in the background, and a small "Restart to update" button appears in the corner of the window. Restart whenever you like; nothing you are doing gets interrupted.
• Your agent finishes what it is doing before it restarts, so a task in progress is never cut off by an update.
• A message sent while your agent is restarting is delivered once it is back, instead of failing.

Calmer, more honest messages

• Everyday moments no longer look like failures, so a waking agent, an expired sign-in, or a permission you do not have shows a clear notice instead of a red error.

Sign-in fixes

• Signing in with Claude on Windows now works on more setups.
• A Claude subscription stays connected on self-hosted setups.
• When your ChatGPT sign-in expires, Houston asks you to sign in again instead of showing an error.

Fixes and polish

• The integrations catalog now shows every available app, instead of stopping partway through the list.
• Houston only offers models your connected provider can actually run.
• Additional reliability improvements under the hood.

Houston 0.6.16

Clearer waiting, fewer alarming errors

• Send a message to a sleeping agent and see it right away, with a calm waking up notice instead of a red error.

Connections that just work

• Connecting an app now opens its sign-in reliably, even when your browser blocks pop-ups.
• Signing in with a Claude subscription now works on Mac-hosted setups.

Fixes and polish

• Amazon Bedrock now offers only the models your key can actually run.
• Running a routine now uses the connections of the person who pressed Run.

Houston 0.6.14

Publish agents straight from Settings

• Copy an agent and publish it to the Agent Store, right from Settings — now the default tab when you open an agent, so sharing what you built takes one click.

New integration: Croma

• Croma joins the curated integrations list, discoverable by your agents for Colombian public data (traffic cameras, procurement records, company filings).

Fixes and polish

• Clearer status while things wake up. Renaming an agent, logging into a provider, or reconnecting after a pause now shows a calm "waking up" notice instead of looking broken.
• Local AI connections report their real state. A disconnected tunnel to your own computer's AI model no longer shows as still connected.
• Usage and provider error messages are easier to read and stay visible instead of scrolling out of view.

✅ L9: Serve probe fan-out — no retry, ERROR-per-transition logging (HOUSTON-APP-4YV), failed probe skips the provider for that sync
✅ L8: #1303 ghost cleanup is manifest-gated — a ghost .credentials.json outside the served manifest is never cleared
✅ L6: API-key connect writes runtime before central store — unmanaged key vanishes at pod recycle ("spontaneous disconnect")
✅ L5: Post-capture scrub erases ALL providers' refresh tokens — concurrent OAuth connects race
✅ L4: Revoked-token report digests the CURRENT auth.json token, not the one that failed — can delete a healthy reconnect
✅ L3: Non-atomic credential capture — failed scrub leaves a permanent second rotator; healer full PUT clears the #230 tombstone
✅ L2: Served refresh:"" entries cross pi's 5-min refresh window → OAuth refresh with empty token (PRODUCT-1293 root cause)
✅ L1: Gateway treats any refresh 400/401 as terminal rejection — fleet-wide sign-out risk
✅ Anthropic revoked-token storm survives the HOU-952 heal: ghost materialized .credentials.json + non-reporting classifyText seams (Sentry HOUSTON-APP-4YA)
✅ Deeply understand why AI Providers are loging out and fix this
✅ After singing in with composio into any integration, we should return to the app automatically
✅ Secure api key card not working
✅ Let setup engines sleep — remove the waker exemption (houston-prod cost + capacity)
✅ Anthropic disconnect loop persists on long-lived always-awake pods: pod-local credential state poisons the OAuth token family until a restart (fix #1226 was already on board)
✅ Review Optimization suggestions by Felipe Gamboa +57 316 2953476
✅ Los triggers no están funcionando de manera correcta. Verificar que estén funcionando para los siguientes casos
✅ Cerebras se desconecta cada tanto (maybe fixed with the new update?)
✅ Remove version floor block
✅ Allow renaming a skill by just adding a "pencil" to rename it
