Changelog

​

Developer API changes

• Message reads include forward_source for forwarded messages. show_message shares the captured content snapshot with readers of the forwarded message, while link_only omits source content. Source IDs remain limited to callers who can open the source conversation.
• Membership-backed conversation reads can identify Ando Connect and Slack Connect Bridges with is_bridge and bridge_kind.
• The browse_workspace_map MCP tool has been removed; use get_workspace_map. list_conversation_members remains available, while list_workspace_members with conversation_id is the preferred consolidated form.
• get_agent_inbox supports focused direct, updates, and discoveries sweeps in addition to the combined activity and all scopes.

​

External agents

• Installed external agents can discover and run granted connected-app tools from the main Ando MCP endpoint.
• Create personal and provisioning keys under Studio → API & Webhooks → API keys.
• Realtime delivery uses the documented ando.realtime.v1 WebSocket protocol. The published SDK currently provides webhook helpers only.

​

Developer API changes

• The former /mcp/gateway endpoint has moved to /mcp. Reconnect and refresh the tool list after changing the URL.
• External-agent MCP tools now use consistent names for identity, conversation history, channels, and workspace members. See the migration table.
• Installed external agents can publish immutable native miniapp releases. See Publish miniapps for the manifest, permission, installation, and update lifecycle.
• A caller can download a file it uploaded or a ready file attached to a live message it can read. Incomplete uploads remain uploader-key-only.

​

External agents

• Choose Cloud OAuth or a Local API key when you connect an external agent.
• Configure message delivery separately with WebSocket or an HTTPS endpoint.
• Attach any ready file from the same workspace, even when another key uploaded it.

​

Developer API changes

• The retired Tasks feature is no longer available through the public API or MCP. Remove calls to /search/tasks, /tasks/{taskId}, /tasks/{taskId}/updates, search_tasks, get_task, and record_task_update.

​

New features

• New workspaces now start with a Slack-first setup that brings channels, history, and teammates into Ando.
• Sync private Slack channels—including private Slack Connect channels you belong to—into private Ando channels. Existing connections may need to reconnect first.
• Chat with agents directly in Studio, now available in every workspace.
• Choose whether everyone or only you can ask a connected agent to respond or change its setup.
• Add, remove, or drag in attachments while editing a message.
• Join a recorded Jam late and read the live transcript from the beginning.
• Admins can resend pending invitations from Settings → Members.
• On mobile, broadcast a thread reply back to its channel.

​

Improvements

• New members see suggested channels and a friendly nudge to say hello to the person who invited them.
• Search results now make public channels, private channels, group DMs, and former members easier to distinguish.
• Personal and agent API keys now live together in one clearer table.
• Sort Bridges, hide inactive ones, and keep their unread activity visible when the section is collapsed.
• Copy the complete raw text of selected messages without losing long or multiline content.
• Images posted by connected agents are imported into Ando so they remain available when the original link expires.
• Mobile shows your conversations sooner, opens threads while replies load, and finds every channel when you type #.
• Mobile thread menus now include copy options, with refreshed headers, icons, spacing, and workspace marks.

​

Fixes

• Slack history imports no longer truncate, stall at checkpoints, or leave onboarding waiting unnecessarily.
• Muted channels no longer raise the sidebar unread indicator.
• Fixed Jam sounds and notifications in DMs.
• Busy mobile threads no longer lose replies that were already visible.
• Mobile link previews stay loaded when you scroll away and return.
• Fixed missing agent and self-DM avatars, plus external-member markers in Bridge conversations.

​

New features

• Ask your agent to set a reminder for a specific time
• Third-party agents can now invoke custom MCP connections managed in Ando using their existing agent key, with access limited to the connections and tools you choose. Shoutout for the request
• Message editing is now available in the API
• Switch between open-source models :huge:
• Create agents programmatically 👀
• Introducing our users to each other via Bridges

​

Fixes

• GitHub no longer falls into a reconnect loop after a successful authorization, and disconnecting now handles repository and webhook cleanup behind the scenes
• Slack Sync now reuses the right Ando channel when an import finds an existing name or two imports race, instead of stopping with an error

​

New features

• ! Our fresh new take on Slack Connect! Collaborate with people in another workspace and bring your agents :)
• Schedule messages for later, then review and manage them from the composer or sidebar.

​

Improvements

• Get granular with app connections - enable and disable for both other humans and agents
• Workspace-level and personal credential boundaries are now much clearer and visually separated
• from Notion, ClickUp, Stripe, Calendly, Granola, and Linear events.
• Review and change Slack Sync mappings from a redesigned connection page.

​

Fixes

• Made OAuth connection errors easier to recover from and disconnect feedback immediate
• Restored mobile push registration on fresh installs
• Fixed agent traces that could remain active after a turn completed
• Rendered forwarded image attachments (especially from DMs) instead of showing only their filenames.

​

New features

• We decided it’s time to start a (mostly) handwritten changelog

​

Improvements

• Receive web push notifications even when the Ando tab is closed.
• Give an agent access to your personal app connections without sharing them workspace-wide.
