What's new in Runtype

Product updates, new features, and improvements.

April 2026

Agent schedules with messages and records

Feature

Scheduled agent runs now support inline message sets (including named variants), structured batch inputs, or record-backed runs—so cron and one-shot schedules can drive agents the same ways you use them interactively.

CLI: auth export-key

Improvement

Run `runtype auth export-key` to print the API key stored by the CLI—handy for scripts, CI secrets, and quick env wiring without opening the dashboard.

Transform-data syntax validation

Improvement

Transform-data steps now validate JavaScript/TypeScript syntax at save and dispatch time—catching typos and parse errors before sandbox execution.

Mock ecomm API templates

Feature

E-commerce API and agent templates so you can prototype integrations without standing up a full backend.

SDK reference for LLM-assisted coding

SDK

An auto-generated, version-tied SDK reference—including FlowBuilder chains, dispatch, and eval APIs—ships in-repo and through MCP-style resources so coding agents stay aligned with @runtypelabs/sdk.

Virtual flow model overrides

Bug Fix

Per-request model overrides now apply correctly when executing virtual flows, so dispatch-time model settings match what you pass from the SDK or API.

Conversations API

Feature

A dedicated management API for listing, creating, and managing conversations across all channels — widgets, surfaces, and apps.

Live tail streaming and customer logs

Feature

The dashboard logs UI supports live tail streaming and sharable URL-synced filters, so you and your team can follow runs and debug without leaving the browser.

Execute-agent flow step

Feature

Flows can invoke agents inline with the new execute-agent step type, combining deterministic routing with autonomous agent turns in one workflow.

Marathon: copy trimmed session JSON

Improvement

Use /copy-trimmed or the session menu to copy the same marathon state as JSON with large code and tool payloads shortened—easier to paste into an LLM without blowing the context window.

Record management and query-mode retrieval

Feature

Built-in tools for creating, reading, updating, and deleting records—plus retrieve-record query mode for many rows in one step—give agents structured access to your data without custom glue.

Slack setup wizard

Improvement

Slack connects through a guided, step-by-step setup wizard instead of a raw OAuth-only path—clearer milestones, fewer dead ends, and more reliable onboarding.

March 2026

MCP: schedules, flows, proposals, and identity

Feature

Runtype MCP adds scheduling, flow management, and get_me for identity—so external AI clients can automate more of the platform.

Persona 3.0: Token-Based Theming

Feature

Persona 3.0 replaces flat widget theme props with structured design tokens, createTheme(), built-in presets, and component-level theming for embedded chat experiences.

Persona 2.0 — Open Source Chat SDK

Feature

Persona is now open source. Themeable, pluggable, zero-framework chat widget with Shadow DOM isolation, SSE streaming, agent loops, and voice input.

Persona Artifacts

Feature

Persona can now stream rich artifacts over SSE, letting agents emit markdown documents and interactive components alongside normal chat responses.

Model Catalog Refresh

Improvement

The model catalog has been refreshed with upstream config updates and Qwen 3.5 migration work, keeping defaults and availability current.

Smarter Messaging Surfaces

Improvement

Messaging surfaces now get trait-driven behavior and flexible inbound and outbound formatting, making delivery smarter across email, Slack, SMS, Telegram, and more.

MCP Context and Streamable HTTP

Feature

Runtype MCP now ships both platform context and modern transport support, with resources and prompts for guidance and Streamable HTTP for live progress.

Product Generator Enhancements

ImprovementBeta

The product generator now shows architecture previews and interactive clarifying pills, turning product planning into a more guided conversation.

Marathon CLI

Feature

Marathon CLI now combines an Ink TUI with context compaction, session search, tool input streaming, workflow plugins, and upgrade enforcement.

Cloudflare Browser Rendering Crawl Step

Feature

Flows can now run a first-class Cloudflare Browser Rendering crawl step with progress streaming, async pause/resume, and page-level billing.

GitHub Secret Scanning

Infrastructure

Leaked Runtype API keys found by GitHub Secret Scanning can now be revoked automatically through a dedicated webhook pipeline.

OpenAI-Compatible Provider

Feature

Bring your own OpenAI-compatible model endpoints, including local or hosted deployments, and route custom models through Runtype with BYOK controls.

Orthogonal Platform Tools

Feature

Managed Orthogonal platform tools let flows and agents call paid third-party APIs like Apollo and LinkUp with built-in spend tracking.

A2A Surface — Generally available

Feature

A2A is out of beta with Agent-to-Agent protocol 0.3 alignment, stable agent card URLs, and consistent artifacts and status across the task stream.

ElevenLabs Voice Integration

FeatureBeta

Runtype now supports server-side ElevenLabs speech-to-text and text-to-speech tools, enabling voice input and spoken agent responses.

OAuth2 MCP Server Authentication

Feature

Connect OAuth2-protected MCP servers with standard auth code and PKCE flows, encrypted credential storage, and automatic token refresh during execution.
