Focus and multitask chat modes, improved memory, and polish
Based on early user feedback, we've decided to introduce focus and multitask modes plus a proper chat queue to Senra's desktop and web app. This will make working with Senra feel more deliberate, while also letting you parallelize simpler tasks. Memory has also received a substantial upgrade: Senra will now remember small details over long time periods more reliably and has a stronger retrieval system.
Desktop app
Focus and multitask modes
Desktop chat now has two ways to work. Focus keeps everything inline so you can follow what Senra is doing step by step, which is the right mode when you want to stay close to the work. Multitask lets you spin off background agents work and keep the conversation moving while the work happens. Focus mode is now the default on web and desktop, and on iMessage, Senra multitasks to keep your conversation moving.
You can now also queue messages, and make Senra multitask on the work when it makes sense.
iMessage Terseness
Early users complained that Senra sent too many message bubbles and long messages on iMessage. From now on, Senra will send fewer bubbles per response and be more concise while maintaining an appropriate level of detail in its responses.
Memory
Senra's memory system is greatly improved. In the past it often forgot small details, such as a colleague's email or an important detail about your work preferences. We've overhauled how Senra curates and updates its memories to make it much more thorough by letting Senra reflect on its conversations with the you. Memory search is now needed far less frequently as Senra remembers more by default, although, this retrieval system has also received an overhaul.
Miscellaneous
Performance Improvements
A few quieter changes you'll feel even if you don't see them: file operations should feel noticeably faster thanks to improvements to Senra's cloud computer. Also, resumable streams now have fewer visual bugs in certain edge cases.
Smoother GitHub setup
Connecting GitHub now goes through a cleaner install flow for the Senra GitHub app.
Cleaner Background Agent Traces
When Senra is using tools (running searches, working with files, etc.), the background agent trace is easier to read and less noisy.
Appearance
Both light and dark mode have nicer, more refined color palettes.
