Buda v1.16.0 Release Notes

Released: July 01, 2026

✨ New Features

• Browser option added to the chat + menu: Click + in the chat box and choose Browser. A removable Browser chip appears above the message. After sending, the Agent knows this task can use Buda's built-in browser.
• Apps list supports Agent filtering: In the Apps & Skills panel, the Apps list can now be filtered by Agent, so you can view all Apps for a specific Agent.
• Connected systems can send files and manage tasks: If your team connects its own business system to Buda, it can now use API Claw to send files, read Drive content, and manage scheduled Agent tasks.

🔧 Experience

• Preview windows try to wake stopped Apps: If an app preview stops working, Buda first tries to restart that app, then decides whether the Agent needs to handle it.
• Desktop returns to the last position on launch: When you open Buda Desktop, it returns to the last layout, Space, Agent, and conversation you used.
• Shared-session continuation keeps the original conversation: When you continue from a shared session, Buda enters a new conversation and shows the original shared history in that conversation.
• Share dialog actions were reorganized: Agent and session share dialogs now have a clearer action area for social sharing, copy link, and public-access status.
• Rewards separates invites and redeem codes: The Rewards page now shows Invite Friends and Redeem Code as separate actions, so clicking invite text no longer leads into the redeem-code flow.
• Chat input chips use one spacing system: File, mention, and command chips now use consistent spacing.
• Computer storage shows product names: The Computer tab now shows Standard Disk / High-Performance Disk instead of internal system names.
• Create Agent includes disk information: The High-Performance Disk option in the Create Agent dialog now includes a help entry.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Scheduled tasks execute again: Automations set to run later now send the correct instruction to the Agent, so the task starts when triggered.
• Automation tools stay enabled: The tools for creating, viewing, and deleting Automations now remain enabled.
• Continuing a shared session no longer leaves the new session loading: After continuing from a shared session, the new conversation in the sidebar no longer stays in a loading state.
• Shared-session history is displayed as separate messages: Historical messages from a shared session now appear as their original message entries instead of one merged block.
• Shared sessions open the new conversation page: After choosing a Space and Agent, Buda opens the newly created conversation page instead of stopping on the Agent home page.
• Space Drive files in chat can open in the right panel: When a chat message contains a file from Space Drive, clicking the file card opens it in the right-side Files panel instead of failing because the file source was detected incorrectly.
• Busy model status is shown: If the current model is busy, Buda shows that state and suggests retrying or switching models.
• Reasoning options follow model support: If a model does not support the highest reasoning setting, the interface no longer sends that unavailable option to the model.
• Invalid workspace choices are blocked: Buda blocks folder choices that could cause preview or Git workspace failures.
• Git repository picker no longer starts with a blank name: Before a repository is selected, the confirm button stays disabled; Drive roots are no longer treated as valid repositories.
• Drive folder picker does not collapse when clicking the root: When the folder picker opens, the root stays expanded; clicking the root does not clear the current selection.
• Sites can be unpublished from the list: Published sites can now be unpublished directly from the Sites list before deleting or redeploying them.
