Empryo 3.8.3-beta · Sep 17, 2026
Release artwork & highlights
Computer use
- Drive any screen: The agent can now navigate websites, web apps, and desktop windows—not just files. It works across Empryo's built-in browser, an isolated Chrome profile, or your own active Chrome browser. It is off by default: enable it anytime in Settings → Computer use, via
/computerin the terminal, or withcomputerUse: truein your configuration. - Accessibility tree over raw pixels: Rather than guessing from screenshots, Empryo reads the accessibility tree as indexed, semantic elements. Form fills and multi-step interactions run in batches with minimal round trips, saving time and tokens.
- Your real Chrome browser: Through the new Empryo Chrome extension, the agent can automate your personal browser tabs using your existing logins and active sessions—no copying profiles, exporting cookies, or re-authenticating. Driven tabs are neatly grouped and returned to their original positions when done.
- Fast execution and pilot mode:
computer_jslets the agent batch complete UI sequences in a single round trip. For routine mechanical tasks,computer_dopilots actions with confidence checks, halting cleanly if it needs guidance instead of guessing. - Native dialogs and file uploads: File choosers accept direct file paths, while browser alerts, confirms, and prompts are handled seamlessly without freezing page execution.
- Granular permission controls: Set strict rules for sensitive actions. Choose whether to allow, deny, or ask before the agent touches file uploads, downloads, the clipboard, credential inputs, or consequential actions (payments, sends, deletions). Permissions can be remembered per application or website.
- The Mote cursor: Whenever the agent operates on screen, the Mote appears as a glowing pointer showing exactly what the agent is targeting in real time. Moving your physical mouse immediately pauses the agent and hands control back to you.
- Cross-platform support: Native OS drivers for macOS, Windows, and Linux inspect windows and display geometry with bounded timeouts to prevent hangs.
- Interactive desktop mascot: The Mote now lives directly inside the desktop app. It greets you on the welcome screen, follows your cursor, reacts to clicks, and travels to your active tab.
- Six visual styles: Choose between six rendering styles: colour, ink, sketch, riso, paper, and pixel. If you prefer a minimal look, Settings → Appearance → Show Mote lets you display the classic brand mark instead.
- Refreshed welcome screen: A redesigned landing view provides quick access cards for your file tree, the Genome code map, and active tools.
- Fast decision model: Empryo integrates TypeSafe AI's Jev, a dedicated System One model that answers typed questions (choice, score, probability) in ~200 ms for $0.042 per million input tokens.
- Five integrated decisions: Proactively suggests relevant skills from your installed roster, re-ranks file search candidates by query intent, triages upstream API failures, guards against destructive UI clicks, and pilots mechanical actions.
- 100% opt-in and circuit-broken: Every capability has an independent toggle under
/typesafeor desktop settings. An expired key automatically trips a 30-minute breaker and falls back to built-in heuristics with zero stalls. - Transparent ledger: Every decision is metered under its own model name in the usage ledger and displayed directly in the chat cue.
- Structured verdicts: Code reviews return clear pass or fail verdicts with exact file locations, line numbers, and severity ratings rather than free-form prose.
- Review-till-pass: When fixing code iteratively, Empryo automatically applies reviewer findings and re-runs checks until tests pass, detecting and halting on repeated oscillation.
- Cleaner scope: Lockfiles, build directories, and generated artifacts are excluded from review scans automatically.
- Lines of code everywhere: The Genome displays line counts across your repository overview, folder trees, language summaries, desktop status bar, and
/genomeoutput. - Git churn weighting: The code map blends git churn with architectural PageRank, elevating files that you modify frequently alongside core dependencies.
- Co-change hints: Running
git statusdisplays smart suggestions for companion files that historically commit alongside your staged changes. - Smarter context caching: File contents stay cached in context for 24 steps while ephemeral script output is pruned after 3 steps, freeing tokens without losing code context.
- New provider logins: Authenticate to Kilo Gateway with a device code and Z.AI Coding Plan through your browser using
/login kiloand/login zai-coding-plan. - Desktop subscription cards: All authenticated providers now appear in the desktop Subscriptions view with live balance and quota tracking.
- Live catalog sync: Context windows, capabilities, and token pricing update automatically from live catalog specifications.
- Silent background updates: New desktop releases download quietly in the background and apply seamlessly with a single restart.
- 10× smaller download: Enabled hardened Electron security fuses and optimized bundle packaging, shrinking the desktop app package from 497 MB down to 42 MB.
- Mid-turn queue and steer: Clear separation between Enter (steer current turn) and ⌘Enter (queue follow-up prompt).
- Expanded Morphs: Added 14 new UI mount points for extensions, custom styling for toolbars and composer panes, and modal presentation as dialogs, slide-over sheets, or bottom drawers.
- Embedded browser opens
about:blankwithout triggering external URL security warnings. - Chrome extension properly preserves and restores tab groups when automating user tabs.
- Computer use MCP server properly enumerates all active surface drivers.
- Operating system keychain reads are consolidated at launch rather than queried per secret.
- Model error classifier correctly ignores tool version dates (e.g.
20250429) when detecting HTTP 429 rate limits. - Multi-file code transformations avoid treating imported module bindings as replacement targets.
- Settings search indexes TypeSafe and computer use configuration fields accurately.
