Automations (Preview): Schedule recurring agent tasks to run hourly, daily, or weekly, or run them on demand.
Voice Mode (Experimental): Talk with an agent and interrupt or redirect it while it works on your code.
Continue quick chats in a workspace: Attach a project to an existing quick chat without losing the conversation history or current request.
GitHub issues and pull requests (Experimental): Review issue and pull request details directly in the Agents window, even when the repository is not open.
