Updates

⚠ In beta — re-download to stay current

AI Cockpit ships changes often, and the installer bundle is rebuilt with them. Reinstalling fresh, or just re-downloading the bundle, is the normal way to stay up to date — there is no in-place updater during beta.

The dated entries below are the full record, newest first. Grab the current build from the Download page.

What's new in AI Cockpit.

2026-09-13

Open source, integrity, guard, and a lot of polish

  • AI Cockpit is open source — Apache License 2.0. Read it, change it, redistribute it. Three conditions: a modified version ships under another name, says it is based on AI Cockpit wherever it is presented, and runs its own server. The account client (cockpit_auth) and the live server stay proprietary. Full text on the Licence and terms page, and in the app (logo → Terms). Terms of Use now also state that Israeli law and your local law both apply — the stricter one wins.
  • Build integrity. Every bundle carries a manifest (sha256 per shipped file + a build id). The app checks itself on first use and on demand (logo → Integrity), lists changed or missing files, and can restore the shipped files from the bundle the installer keeps. The live server answers account services to official builds only.
  • Lockdown and guard. The installer makes the shipped files root-owned and read-only (sudo to edit — a deliberate act) and starts cockpit-guard, a small service that logs any change to a shipped file, flags it in the app at once and puts the file back.
  • Chat context, done properly. A gate decides whether a prompt needs history; a full-text index over every chat picks the turns that matter; Claude gets a pointer and reads the chat file itself. Workers (REST) and Tools runs are now recorded in the chat too.
  • Tools. Runs are jobs in a cockpit_tools tmux session (the card’s open button shows them live), with an installed-check before Run, a long-run watchdog, Stop that stops everything, output files with the tree’s permissions and open-folder / open-file buttons in the chat. The local file chooser now uploads the file and fills the server path.
  • Interface. Every emoji replaced by monochrome Material icons; hover hints drawn by Cockpit itself (never cut off), a First-use mode with summaries from the guide, and a 26-step guided Tour; chat turns are foldable cards with a sticky title row; Enter sends, Ctrl/Shift+Enter add a line; an Exit procedure; a four-row clock with the live server’s time; the account card, sessions and settings blocks tidied.
  • Workers. Groq’s retired llama-3.x models replaced by gpt-oss-20b / 120b and qwen3.6-27b; a stale cascade order no longer blocks the cascade; the Delegate classifier picks an installed model and no longer asks on every prompt.
  • Fixed. The bundle had been shipping the developer machine’s paths.json; ftpush’s progress percentage was always 0 %.
2026-09-11 — later

The account check moved to the server, and modes can now run durably

  • The Full edition’s account check is now the server’s answer, not the app’s. Cockpit asks cockpit.ruggi.site whether this machine is registered to an account, and the server replies from its own records. Two things follow. An install that cannot prove it has an account is asked to sign in, whatever its local files say. And when the server cannot be reached at all, that counts as no answer rather than no — a paid install keeps working offline exactly as before.
  • Fixed: the check used to pass when it failed. If the account service errored or could not be reached on first load, the app treated “could not tell” the same as “signed in” and took the panel down. Unknown is not permission; it now asks.
  • Fixed (security): the account endpoint had no local authentication. Every other Cockpit backend requires you to be logged into the app; this one did not, and the app is served on every network interface. Anyone who could reach the machine on port 80 could read the signed-in e-mail, licence mask and tier — or sign the install out with a single request. It now requires the local session like everything else. Worth updating if you run Full on a shared or office network.
  • New: ⛓ Durable. With Pipeline or Broadcast selected, a button in the mode strip turns that exact selection — your prompt, the agents you ticked, their current models — into a checkpointed chain that resumes at the step that died instead of starting over. Enter is unchanged and still runs the mode in the page; durable is something you press, never a hidden setting.
  • Docs. The Setup Guide’s contents worked for none of its twelve steps — every link was dead. Fixed. Both guides now also cover the account requirement, what the installer sends and how to switch it off, the companion tools it installs (ftpsuite, secrets), and the new button.
  • Corrected on this site: the Free tier was described as “no registration”. That is true of Stand-alone (V1) and not of Full, which registers the install once with a free account. The pricing page now says which is which.
2026-09-11

Version check at install, and what No Phone Home actually covers

  • The installer now checks for a newer release when it starts. If one exists it says so and points at the download page — then carries on with the version you have. That check sends one anonymous line: OS, distro, architecture, package manager, coarse hardware, and the installer's own version. No username, no file paths, no files, no IP. Opt out entirely with COCKPIT_NO_TELEMETRY=1 before running.
  • Why it happens before you choose anything. One installer serves every edition, so at that moment there is genuinely no choice yet to respect — the decision you would be making has not been offered. Rather than guess, the installer tells you what it is about to send, sends one line, and gives you something back for it.
  • No Phone Home starts at your selection. Choose V1 and that boot line plus the record of your choice are the last things sent. No progress, no errors, nothing. At the very end you are asked once — knowing the install worked — whether to send a single anonymous “it succeeded” line. Decline and nothing is sent, and nothing asks again.
  • Your choice is now recorded for every option, including V1. That sounds like more data; it is actually less guesswork. Previously, an install that reported nothing might have been a V1 user or someone who closed the terminal — indistinguishable. Now the absence of a selection means “walked away”, and V1 users stop being mistaken for failures.
  • V2 and Both are unchanged: install progress and errors are reported so broken installs can be found and fixed, with the same opt-out.
2026-09-10

The Hive moves into the sidebar

  • A Hive section in the left sidebar — Autopilot Cruise and AutoCognition now share one home, with a live view of which agents are up and which chains are running. Buttons for Agents, Chains and Broker open the panel scoped to just that concern instead of one long scroll
  • flight PLAN acts on the normal prompt box — one place to type a goal. Press Enter to dispatch to the agent you picked, press PLAN to hand the same text to the Hive as a durable chain
  • The Autopilot Cruise mode toggle is gone — it was a checkbox that silently changed what the Enter key did, and it defaulted to on, so the same prompt could dispatch or plan depending on a setting you could not see from the chat. Planning now happens only when you ask for it. Nothing was lost: Cruise is still there, behind an explicit button. Any saved preference is cleared automatically on first load
  • Interrupted chains are visible without opening anything — the sidebar status line turns amber and tells you how many stalled and where to resume them. The floating hive button that used to carry that badge was retired, since the sidebar section replaced it
2026-09-05

Autopilot Cruise, AutoCognition, and a new tier lineup

  • Autopilot Cruise — state a goal in the main chat and Cockpit plans it into steps, picks the best agent/model for each, and runs it as a durable, resumable workflow (survives a crash or a closed tab), then posts the result back. A fast-path skips planning for trivial messages, and Manual Override is always one toggle away
  • AutoCognition — a local multi-agent bus: agents advertise presence and can see, message, and call each other; durable task chains with a board, checkpoints, and auto-resume-on-kill; capability routing (route a step to the best-fit agent), quorum voting (several models answer, a judge picks/synthesizes), a consent-gated broker, and one-click turn any Power Combo into a durable chain
  • New tier lineup — Free (no account, all local) · Starter (free account + Marketplace + unlimited combos) · Basic (Autopilot Cruise) · Pro (AutoCognition) · Ultimate (Pro + Everywhere), plus Everywhere as a standalone add-on. Everything except Cruise, AutoCognition, and remote access stays free with your own keys. All paid tiers are open free during beta
  • Site + home moved to cockpit.ruggi.site — the product now lives at its own domain (old maestro.ruggi.site links 301-redirect over, with a short history page), and the pricing/landing/features pages were rebuilt around the two new capabilities
  • Leaner download — trimmed ~46 MB of unused art from the bundle; the app itself is unchanged by that
2026-09-01

Account recovery, Workers Auto-cascade, and a full launch experience

  • Account recovery tokens — a one-time code shown when you first create your account restores your paid account and tier on a reinstalled or new machine. Recover right from the app; admins can reset a token
  • Workers — Auto (cascade) — pick this and free-tier workers are used in a priority order, automatically advancing to the next when one hits its daily quota (or a rate limit), for constant free AI. Reorder the priority in Workers settings
  • Marketplace — restore your content — a "my downloads" filter plus a one-click restore that re-downloads everything you previously downloaded and everything you published, so a fresh machine is quick to set up again
  • Auth reliability — fixed a case on newer systems where sign-in/validation could report "server unreachable" and leave a paid account stuck on Free
  • Desktop launch experience — the installer adds AI Cockpit to your applications menu (under an "AI" category) plus cockpit-start / cockpit-stop commands; launching shows a branded splash, then opens Cockpit in a clean app window. Install both versions and AI Cockpit V1 (No-Account) gets its own menu entry and cockpit-v1-start — only one version runs at a time
  • Browser/launch polish: opens a fresh window reliably (no more hijacking the app tab), and a login guard keeps the browser's display flags in place across browser updates
2026-08-24

Downloads refreshed to the current build — please re-download

  • The install bundle now ships the current install_cockpit.sh. The 2026-08-23 overhaul (V1/V2/both, offline, hardware-aware, telemetry, guided prompts) was already written, but the download had kept serving a pre-overhaul installer — so anyone who downloaded before today got the old one. Fixed: re-download to pick it up
  • New bundle shape (dist-based): extract → cd cockpit → sudo bash install_cockpit.sh, which installs from the bundled dist/cockpit_v2.tar.gz / cockpit_v1.tar.gz. Both the automated and manual-copy paths in the Setup & Manual guides were updated to match
  • Tool downloads brought in line with fixes that had only been live in the browser: Drive Migration Calculator (per-drive transfer time now honors per-drive rates), Palette Generator (WCAG luminance threshold), Subscription Sleuth ("Semi-Annual" label), and Veil-10 (large-input encode fix)
  • Every downloadable archive on the site was audited to confirm it contains the latest version of each file it bundles
2026-08-23

Installer overhaul — V1/V2/both, offline installs, hardware-aware, guided prompts, and install telemetry

  • One installer, your choice of version: pick V1, V2, or both at the start. "Both" installs V2 at /cockpit and V1 at /cockpit-v1 side by side. The edition is now derived from the version instead of a separate question — V2/both use the full account edition (needs at least a free account, no card), V1 uses the fully-local stand-alone edition
  • Every prompt now explains what each option means and its implications in plain language, shows the default (Enter = …), and supports proper line editing — backspace, arrows, ctrl-u — so typos are fixable
  • Offline installs: the installer detects no connection and skips every download gracefully (packages, CLIs, Ollama/LocalAI, models, account) while still deploying the local app + web files — ideal for a private, offline V1 setup. V2 warns that its account and models need a connection later
  • Hardware-aware: detects your CPU model + cores, RAM, and GPU/VRAM and recommends a local-model size that actually fits (so a 4 GB card isn't handed a model it can't run)
  • Cross-distro package completeness: the package lists no longer assume a fresh Linux Mint — every tool the app shells out to (unzip, ping, lspci, and GNU coreutils/grep/sed on Alpine, etc.) is installed explicitly on apt/nala, pacman, dnf, zypper, and apk, plus the Docker image
  • Ollama now keeps its own default model location instead of being forced to a custom path, and detects a pre-existing custom location to warn you before continuing. One consistent per-user npm location for the agent CLIs (no more root/user split)
  • New: anonymous install telemetry so we can find and fix installs that fail and see where they stop — reports only OS/distro, your version+edition choice, coarse hardware, and any OS error, with usernames and file paths stripped out; never your name, files, or IP. On for V2 (opt out with COCKPIT_NO_TELEMETRY=1), opt-in for V1 (superseded 2026-09-11 — see the entry above)
  • Verified end to end on a real Linux Mint 22.3 machine: V1 + V2 both installed and serving, the 50 open Power Combos seeded, all three agent sessions running, and the Claude + Gemini CLIs authenticated and responding
2026-08-18

Fixed the install counter showing zero; Windows installer hardened; Card 2 defaults to Gemini

  • Found and fixed the real reason the stats page showed zero installs despite real downloads: the first-run setup ping sent edition: "full", but the endpoint receiving it only accepted "v2" — every real install's completion signal was silently rejected. New installs now register correctly; installs completed before this fix were never counted and can't be recovered retroactively
  • install_windows.ps1 hardened: added a Windows-build preflight check (fails with a clear message instead of a confusing error three steps in on unsupported Windows versions), wrapped both WSL detection calls so a never-initialized WSL install no longer crashes the script, fixed the Linux-user-exists check to key off the actual exit code instead of output text, and switched the generated sudo password to a cryptographically secure generator
  • Card 2 now defaults to Gemini CLI (Google's free-tier API key works directly, no subscription required), restricted to Flash models only. Groq remains available as a background/fallback option but is no longer the default
  • All of the above CI-verified: install_windows.ps1 syntax-checked on a real Windows runner, install_cockpit.sh --unattended run end-to-end on a disposable Linux runner (exit 0)
2026-08-08

Full account and Stand-alone unified into one download; real installer bugs fixed; Everywhere relay activated

  • Full account and No-Account (Stand-alone) editions are now one codebase and one download (cockpit_install.tar.gz) — the installer asks which you want partway through instead of shipping two separately-maintained tarballs. Stand-alone's zero-network-calls promise is now enforced by a runtime flag file, checked before the one call that used to be edition-specific (an anonymous first-account-created ping)
  • Fixed real installer bugs found during testing: a nala update flag mismatch, a home-directory permission bit that could block service accounts (ollama) from starting, and a missing group membership that could deny ollama write access to its own models folder
  • New: a manual-install .zip for anyone who'd rather hand-copy files than run the install script — includes a new step-by-step Manual Install Guide for Linux, macOS, and Windows, plus the existing Setup/User guides. The install scripts are still bundled inside in case you change your mind partway through
  • Everywhere relay (remote phone/tablet access) is now actually wired up and reachable — was previously sold but had no activation path. The local rig now auto-starts the relay poller on cockpit_start.sh (self-gates on entitlement), and the Account panel has a real "Everywhere — pair a device" button linking to the phone-pairing page
  • Scope doc for Everywhere relay corrected — it was marked "NOT BUILT" but the backend/client were already real and functional, just not connected to the install flow or UI; that gap is what got fixed
  • All of the above CI-verified end-to-end (both editions, install to a running server) on Linux Mint/Ubuntu, ARM Linux, and macOS; Windows installer syntax-checked (full WSL2 run still needs a human on real hardware)
2026-08-03

New: Local AI Models Guide, complete Power Combos catalog, Marketplace title fix

  • New: a Local AI Models Guide, in plain language — real ollama pull/local-ai run commands and Hugging Face URLs for every model in the pool, organized by RAM/VRAM tier and what each one is good/weak at. Published on both ruggi.site and maestro.ruggi.site (Backups pages and its own dedicated page)
  • New on maestro.ruggi.site only: the Power Combos paper — how Parallel/Sequential/Judge patterns work, why Dual Mode on Supplier Card 3 is AI Cockpit's real differentiator, and multiple real usage examples per domain (coding, office, language, image, learning, data, creative, accessibility)
  • New: a complete combo catalog page — all 705 combos across all three backends, each with its description, what it's good for, and a worked example, browsable by backend/category
  • Fixed: several combo packs had 2-3 entries sharing the same name (same task, different underlying models) — Marketplace listings and downloaded combos were indistinguishable. Renamed by total model size (e.g. "... — Lite / Standard / Pro") across titles and the actual downloadable payload
  • Model files themselves are no longer hosted on the server — the guide instead points to the real upstream sources (Ollama's registry, Hugging Face) directly
2026-08-01

Pre-release pass: sitewide polish, QA infra, live demo, account management, real Marketplace pool

  • New QA infrastructure: temporary test accounts across all tiers, a re-runnable manual test plan, and real per-OS install CI runs (Linux, ARM Linux, macOS, Windows)
  • New: right-click is now suppressed sitewide (ruggi.site + maestro) except the browser's own title bar — copy/open-in-new-tab etc. are handled by a themed menu instead. F12 devtools unaffected
  • New: ruggi.site tool upgrades — Drive Migration Calculator (unit selector, custom transfer types, per-drive rate), Palette Generator (per-color pickers, Save-as, Saved Palettes with import/export), Media Subtitles (ARM Linux/macOS/Windows sections), a proper HTML page for the Claude Code Linux Mint guide (previously PDF-only), VeilStream's source-view link now opens a Download/View modal instead of a blank page
  • New: the live Web Demo's Supplier Slots now offer real predetermined options (Claude/Gemini/Codex/Groq/Qwen Code, Ollama/LocalAI/Dual), default to Claude · Groq · Dual, and Card 3's model/combo lists are populated for both backends. Unscripted prompts get Lorem Ipsum filler instead of a meta "not available" message. Workers and Tools panels also ship with real sample entries
  • Fixed a real bug in Card 3's Supplier Slots (v2 and demo): picking "Dual — Ollama + LocalAI" wrapped the long name into garbled-looking text on the collapsed card — now shows a short "DUAL" label with the full name as a tooltip
  • maestro.ruggi.site: renamed "Open on phone/tablet" to a distinctly-styled "Everywhere Relay" button; the homepage download counter now only counts real app downloads (v2/v1/Docker), not per-platform helper binaries; Q&A gained search and sort (by date/author/topic); the Account page is now a real account manager — editable profile, a Subscription tab, and a payment-method flow that's wired up but stays inert until billing goes live
  • New: the Marketplace page on maestro.ruggi.site now browses the same live content pool the in-app Marketplace uses — real titles, kinds, and download counts, no login required to look. The in-app Marketplace's kind filter also gained the "User Combos" option it was missing
  • Download page: the old per-platform cockpit_auth binary buttons are gone — that section now just explains the manual (non-scripted) install path and links back to the real tarball/zip downloads. Fixed a spacing bug that pinned the Docker card too close to the section above it
  • Fixed: Quick Utils' search icon overlapped the placeholder text — moved to the right side like a normal search field
2026-07-31

Dual Mode + Power Combos: real feature parity, mixed-backend combos, and a real bug hunt

  • New: the Ollama and LocalAI panels on Card 3 are now structurally identical — same master row (total count, filter, "+ new", collapse/expand-all), same categorized combo groups (Code, Office, etc.), same "Needs both backends" section, same model list with a sort control. Only the accent color and the model curation depth differ (Ollama's Tier 1-4 is hand-curated; LocalAI's is one real group, since it has no equivalent per-model data)
  • New: "Needs both backends" combos are now merged across both catalogs — a dual combo saved while Card 3 was set to Ollama shows up in the LocalAI panel too, and vice versa, instead of only appearing wherever it happened to be saved
  • New: missing-model combos are unselectable and disabled, but a combo you authored yourself stays editable even while it's missing a model — the whole point of opening Edit is to fix that. Hovering a missing combo now says which backend each missing model is missing from (e.g. "foo:3b (Ollama), bar:7b (LocalAI)")
  • New: the Combo Editor's model fields are now real dropdowns built from your actually-installed models (Ollama + LocalAI), not free-text — a newly authored combo can no longer reference a model you don't have. Model lists are alphabetized. Switching a step's backend correctly resets the model pick instead of carrying over an incompatible one
  • New: engine-level support for vision/multimodal steps (LocalAI's vision-capable models) — an images field now flows end-to-end from the combo API through to both Ollama's and LocalAI's actual wire formats. No shipped combo uses it yet; this is the plumbing a real one needs
  • Simplified: Card 3's Supplier Slots now only offers Ollama, LocalAI, or Dual — LM Studio and llama.cpp were listed but never actually wired up for Power Combos or the model picker. Either is still usable as a custom Worker. Also removed the dead "Custom..." option, which had no handler and silently broke Power Combos if picked
  • Fixed a real bug: the Combo Editor's Ollama model list could show up empty — dual_model.php's model-listing endpoint was gated behind Dual mode (so it errored whenever Card 3 wasn't literally set to "Dual") and, underneath that, used shell_exec('ollama list'), which silently fails under most web-server users. Both fixed — model listing now works regardless of Card 3's provider, via Ollama's own HTTP API
  • Fixed: saving/deleting/publishing a combo only refreshed the Ollama panel — an edited combo's row stayed stale on the LocalAI panel (or in "Needs both backends") until a hard reload. Both panels now refresh together
  • Fixed: a dual (mixed-runner) combo's missing-model check used to validate every referenced model against only one backend's installed list — a model genuinely installed on LocalAI could wrongly show as missing when checked from the Ollama catalog. Each model is now checked against its own step's actual backend
  • Installers: Ollama and LocalAI model suggestions now come with "Good for:" notes, and pressing Enter installs the whole suggested set by default (previously required typing "all"). Linux installer now also installs ffmpeg/pandoc, matching macOS
  • Fixed: the cockpit_auth licensing binary was missing from every downloaded tarball (see the notice above) — also added .zip downloads and Docker edition selection (v2/v1) this week
2026-07-29

Ollama + LocalAI together in regular chat, not just Power Combos

  • New: Card 3's model list now shows every Ollama model and every LocalAI model together — pick one of each and both stay loaded side by side (VRAM permitting)
  • New: a real fit-check runs every time you pick a model while the other slot is filled — if the two wouldn't fit in your detected VRAM, the other slot is freed automatically instead of silently over-committing
  • New: with both loaded, sending a prompt first asks both models to rate their own confidence (a quick 1-10, not a full answer), shows both scores, then lets you pick a winner or run the two together — parallel, sequential, or judge, the same patterns Power Combos already use
  • Picking just one model (either backend) works exactly like before — nothing changes unless you actually use the new dual slot
  • Known limit, shown right in the UI: LocalAI has no confirmed reliable "unload model" API, so freeing its slot updates the app's own state honestly but can't guarantee the model actually leaves memory yet
2026-07-28

Dual-mode Power Combos, CI-verified installers, real AMD GPU detection

  • New: Power Combos can now mix Ollama and LocalAI in the same run — both servers run genuinely in parallel (not switched back and forth), each step tagged with which one it uses. A pre-flight check confirms every server a combo needs is actually reachable before it runs, instead of failing partway through
  • New: the Docker bundle now installs and runs LocalAI alongside Ollama too, matching what the native install already did
  • New: hardware detection rewritten as a plain shell script — no compiled binary, no recompile needed for tweaks — and extended to detect real AMD GPU VRAM too (read straight from the kernel's own driver, not a vendor tool), not just NVIDIA
  • New: install scripts gained an unattended mode, and our CI now runs the real installers end-to-end on Linux, ARM Linux, and macOS — a genuine install, not a hand-rolled approximation of one, so a failure there means a real bug. Windows gets a lighter syntax check for now (WSL2 can't run end-to-end on cloud CI without nested virtualization)
  • Fixed: 7 real installer bugs this new CI caught and closed the same night — a text-editor package missing on plain Ubuntu, a file-permission ordering bug on Linux, an Ollama startup race, a wrong Homebrew path on Apple Silicon macOS, PHP never actually loading into macOS's web server, and two Windows-script timing/verification gaps
2026-07-27

Real hardware detection, LocalAI support for Power Combos

  • New: AI Cockpit can now detect your actual CPU cores, RAM, and GPU/VRAM (NVIDIA only, for now) and use it to raise the local-model auto-load ceiling past the old fixed 4B default — safe fallback to the original limit whenever hardware can't be read. Built and CI-compiled for Linux, macOS, Windows, and ARM; only Linux has actually been run on real hardware so far
  • New: Power Combos now work with LocalAI as Card 3, not just Ollama — same 50 free combos, translated to LocalAI-compatible model identifiers (same underlying models, different naming convention). Combos correctly hide themselves if Card 3 is set to anything else (LM Studio, llama.cpp) since those aren't wired up yet
  • Fixed: switching Card 2 to Groq showed a false "not installed" warning — Groq doesn't use a local binary at all, it routes through the encrypted Workers key store. The Supplier Slots picker now correctly shows key status instead of a misleading binary check
  • Fixed a real (if narrow) bug before it could ever affect anyone: installing a LocalAI combo pack would have silently overwritten Ollama's encrypted combo files — each backend now writes its own file
2026-07-26 – 2026-07-27

Bug sweep, Q&A board, Docker option, and honest beta labels

  • New: a Q&A board — ask a question with no account (guest posts stay up 7 days), sign in to answer or keep yours permanent
  • New: a Docker option for Windows/macOS — one bundle, Cockpit and Ollama share a container since the app talks to Ollama on a fixed local address
  • Fixed a real bug: the Power Combos panel was silently empty on every install (a response-shape mismatch between the backend and the UI) — the 50 free bundled combos now actually show up and have been tested working
  • Fixed: fresh installs could end up with the app looking in the wrong folder for your projects (the installer created one folder, the app defaulted to a different one) — Linux, macOS, and Docker installers all corrected
  • Fixed: the Supplier Slots picker (Card 1/2 alternate CLI choice) now correctly shows which CLI is actually configured after a normal page load, not just right after changing it
  • The Everywhere relay is now clearly labeled Beta in the app itself, not just announced
  • Labeled the macOS installer, Windows installer, and Docker bundle Not Tested Yet on the download page — all written and reviewed carefully, but not yet run for real on their target platform. If you try one, please tell us how it went
  • Assorted site accuracy fixes: stale terminology, broken/incomplete stats tracking, and several documentation gaps found and closed
2026-07-25

Live Demo — try it before you install

  • New: a browser-based Live Demo — the real UI, real themes, real chat flow, no install and no signup, hosted right on our server
  • Agent replies are canned/scripted (no real Claude/Gemini/Ollama calls, no local-machine access) so it's safe to host publicly, but every screen, panel, and interaction is the genuine app
  • Linked from the homepage, Features, Pricing, Docs, and every guide page — look for the "play_arrow Live Demo" button
2026-07-24

Live Beta is here

  • AI Cockpit is out of "under development" and into open beta — download it and use it today, free
  • New: a No-Account Edition download alongside the registered build — same local app, zero SaaS account, ever, no network calls to our server, no Marketplace/remote-control features
  • The registered build now asks for a free account once at first run (no card) — local features stay free forever either way
  • Platform downloads added: native binaries for Windows, macOS, and ARM Linux / Raspberry Pi, alongside the existing Linux package
  • Q&A page, Marketplace, and Setup/User Guides all fixed and verified live
  • Paid tiers marked "Free during beta" until monetization actually launches
2026-07-10

Combo catalog expanded to 235, Delegate task routing, in-app guides

  • Power Combo catalog grown from 50 to 235 recipes across 30 categories
  • New Delegate feature — set keyword/phrase rules that auto-route matching tasks to a chosen worker, combo, or Ollama model, regardless of active mode
  • User Guide and Setup Guide now open inside the app itself (searchable, with back/forward navigation) instead of an external browser tab
  • Collapse/expand added across all supplier dropdowns (Ollama tiers, Workers, Tools, Power Combos)
  • Full theme editor — every palette color is an editable swatch, export/import as JSON
2026-06-27 – 2026-07-02

Marketplace and per-user data separation

  • Community Marketplace: browse, download, and publish Skills/Tools/Capabilities/Combos, with compatibility badges before you download
  • Multiple local users on one machine now get genuinely separate data — own tools, skills, combos, and SaaS account per login
  • Account Portal — profile and subscription management (registered-machines panel)
2026-06-19 – 2026-06-25

SaaS layer goes live

  • Cockpit Account system launches, with free and paid tiers
  • Lemon Squeezy billing integration (test mode)
  • Cross-platform compatibility metadata — every downloadable item shows whether it'll run on your machine before you get it
  • Cloudflare Turnstile bot protection on registration
Earlier — v1.0 / v2.0 foundation

Core application

  • Five supplier classes: configurable paid CLI, free REST, and local LLM server slots, plus cloud Workers and local Tools
  • Single / Pipeline / Broadcast / Plan multi-agent modes
  • Full local RAG — Library, Snippets, Accumulator, semantic search
  • 36 themes including 18 Protanopia-safe Dalton variants
  • Smart attachment routing (PDF/DOCX/audio/video/image), scheduler, chat export/import
