What's new in Runtype
Product updates, new features, and improvements.
Agent schedules with messages and records
FeatureScheduled 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
ImprovementRun `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
ImprovementTransform-data steps now validate JavaScript/TypeScript syntax at save and dispatch time—catching typos and parse errors before sandbox execution.
Mock ecomm API templates
FeatureE-commerce API and agent templates so you can prototype integrations without standing up a full backend.
SDK reference for LLM-assisted coding
SDKAn 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 FixPer-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
FeatureA dedicated management API for listing, creating, and managing conversations across all channels — widgets, surfaces, and apps.
Live tail streaming and customer logs
FeatureThe 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
FeatureFlows 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
ImprovementUse /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
FeatureBuilt-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
ImprovementSlack 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.
MCP: schedules, flows, proposals, and identity
FeatureRuntype 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
FeaturePersona 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
FeaturePersona is now open source. Themeable, pluggable, zero-framework chat widget with Shadow DOM isolation, SSE streaming, agent loops, and voice input.
Persona Artifacts
FeaturePersona can now stream rich artifacts over SSE, letting agents emit markdown documents and interactive components alongside normal chat responses.
Model Catalog Refresh
ImprovementThe model catalog has been refreshed with upstream config updates and Qwen 3.5 migration work, keeping defaults and availability current.
Smarter Messaging Surfaces
ImprovementMessaging 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
FeatureRuntype 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
ImprovementBetaThe product generator now shows architecture previews and interactive clarifying pills, turning product planning into a more guided conversation.
Marathon CLI
FeatureMarathon CLI now combines an Ink TUI with context compaction, session search, tool input streaming, workflow plugins, and upgrade enforcement.
Cloudflare Browser Rendering Crawl Step
FeatureFlows can now run a first-class Cloudflare Browser Rendering crawl step with progress streaming, async pause/resume, and page-level billing.
GitHub Secret Scanning
InfrastructureLeaked Runtype API keys found by GitHub Secret Scanning can now be revoked automatically through a dedicated webhook pipeline.
OpenAI-Compatible Provider
FeatureBring your own OpenAI-compatible model endpoints, including local or hosted deployments, and route custom models through Runtype with BYOK controls.
Orthogonal Platform Tools
FeatureManaged 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
FeatureA2A 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
FeatureBetaRuntype now supports server-side ElevenLabs speech-to-text and text-to-speech tools, enabling voice input and spoken agent responses.
OAuth2 MCP Server Authentication
FeatureConnect OAuth2-protected MCP servers with standard auth code and PKCE flows, encrypted credential storage, and automatic token refresh during execution.
Agent Loops
FeatureAgents can now run multi-turn reasoning loops across API, chat, and MCP with configurable turn limits, reflection, cost budgets, execution history, and telemetry.
MCP Code Mode Server
FeatureThe new Code Mode MCP endpoint exposes just search and execute, cutting MCP context overhead dramatically for coding assistants.
Secrets Encryption at Rest
InfrastructureSensitive JSONB fields are now encrypted at rest, protecting stored credentials, tokens, and webhook secrets with transparent seal and unseal handling.
Cloudflare Worker Sandbox
InfrastructureTransform-data steps now execute in sandboxed Cloudflare Workers (V8 isolates) for better security and async/await support.
Unified Event Stream
FeatureReal-time visibility into flow and agent execution with the new Events panel in Persona.
Vector Search Built-In Tool
FeatureThe built-in vector-search tool adds semantic retrieval to agents and flows across pgvector, Weaviate, and Vectorize-backed knowledge bases.
Tiered Execution Limits
InfrastructurePer-customer execution limits with rate limiting, daily caps, monthly caps, and spend limits. Configurable per plan.
Runtime Tools
FeatureDefine tools inline with dispatch requests: external HTTP endpoints, custom sandboxed code, or nested flow execution.
A2A (Agent-to-Agent) Surface — Beta
FeatureBetaSupport for A2A as a surface so agents can talk to agents: tasks, SSE streaming, agent cards, and skill-based routing—now in beta.
