New agent capabilities
Opus 4.6
The agent now runs on Claude Opus 4.6, the latest model from Anthropic. It better understands what you want, makes fewer mistakes, and produces better results.Long-running tasks
The agent can now work on bigger tasks for up to 1 hour without stopping or timing out. You can describe the full scope of what you need and let it handle everything at once.Agent memory
The agent now remembers your preferences across conversations. Tell it once what colors, layout, or fonts you prefer, and it applies them automatically in future chats.Agent understands your project
You can ask the agent how any part of your project works. Ask about login, checkout flow, or navigation and it explains it in simple, clear language.In-product navigation
Not sure where to find something? The agent can guide you directly inside the product. Ask it where to add your domain or how to manage your team.Connected to documentation
The agent is now connected to the Macaly documentation. If you’re not sure how something works, just ask and it finds the answer directly from the docs.Feb 2-6
New agent capabilities
Better design output
The agent now produces cleaner, more polished interfaces with better spacing, layout, and overall visual quality. You can also ask it to improve an existing design and it refines it step by step.Icons and images
The agent can now find icons in SVG or PNG and place them directly in your project. You describe what you need and it handles the rest.Improved CSV handling
Working with CSV files is now more reliable. The agent reads the data better and displays it in your app as tables, lists, or dashboards.Jan 19-23
Separate testing database
Production and testing data can now be separated. You can create a testing database to make changes without touching live data. The testing database starts as a copy of production data, so you can safely try changes, adjust features, or test data updates. All edits apply only to the database you currently have selected.
Improved GitHub pull behavior
Pulling changes from GitHub now updates the current chat, instead of creating a new one. All files will be replaced with the version from GitHub, while environment (.env) files remain unchanged.You can also disconnect GitHub from a chat using the new disconnect option, without needing to contact support.Jan 12-16
Macaly API (Enterprise)
Macaly is now available via an API on Enterprise plans. You can create chat sessions, build web applications with AI, monitor progress, and deploy to production programmatically. Read the docs
Smarter model selection
Macaly now uses more capable models by default, primarily Opus 4.5, with GPT-5.2 as a fallback for tasks Opus can’t handle. This improves results on more complex or edge-case requests.
Improvements
- Deployments now show the correct status when your app is already live
- Better stability for projects using 3D and interactive components
- Fixed extra blank lines appearing when editing user messages
- General design and layout improvements across team management and settings

- Fixed cases where sidebar search results could persist unexpectedly after closing and reopening the sidebar
Jan 5-9
Human-in-the-loop confirmations
Before the agent completes a response, it can now pause to confirm intent or ask follow-up questions when context is missing. This helps avoid incorrect or overly broad changes and gives you more control over larger actions.
Planning mode
Macaly can now plan its work before executing it. The agent automatically decides when planning is needed, and you can also turn it on manually in the input box to review the approach first.
Duplicating a chat now creates an isolated copy
When you duplicate a chat, Macaly now creates a fully separate copy with its own data. You can experiment freely without worrying about changes affecting the original project.Improvements
- Sidebar refactor with lazy loading and server-side search for faster navigation
- Published apps and domains management moved into the Team dropdown
- Chat sidebar dropdown updated with quick access to documentation, settings, billing, help, and logout
Bug fixes

- Fixed an issue where the screenshot tool sometimes failed to capture external websites
- Improved ChatInput responsiveness on devices with small screen heights and larger text
December 2025
Media Assets (upload & reuse)You can now upload and manage any type of media directly in Macaly. Uploaded assets are stored in a shared library, and the agent can reference and reuse them while building or editing your project.More reliable background AI actionsThe Macaly agent now runs more reliably in the background and can handle longer, more complex tasks without stopping unexpectedly. This means you can let the agent work for longer periods of time and trust it to finish multi-step actions without needing to restart or break them into smaller pieces.Improved Assets UXWorking with uploaded assets is now faster and clearer, with improved browsing and handling inside the editor.Diff Mode: undo for blocksDiff Mode now supports undoing block-level changes, making it easier to review and safely revert edits made by the AI.Billing page authenticationThe billing page now correctly handles user authentication, improving reliability around plan changes and upgrades.Security updates (Next.js)We rolled out a large security upgrade for projects using older Next.js versions. Macaly now detects vulnerable versions, guides users to fix them, and auto-upgrades projects where possible.
