What shipped, and when.

askTheodor 0.9.297 — leads that find themselves, alerts on your phone, and a big round of fixes.

• Lead generation runs 24/7: job boards, news, RSS feeds and business directories, with drafts waiting for your OK.
• Alerts on WhatsApp first, then e-mail, when something on your server needs attention.
• Companies: a full Operations tab, drag-and-drop tasks, and routines that run in your local time.
• Safer by default: confirmations that really ask, encrypted channel passwords and sign-in tokens, and tighter checks on files, links and outgoing data.
• Smoother: dialogs close with Escape and keep keyboard focus, typing with an input method no longer sends early, and long chats stream faster.
• Builds for Apple Silicon (local models on the GPU via Metal), Intel Macs, and Linux (.deb, .rpm, AppImage).

askTheodor 0.9.284 — your files, your recorded workflows, and a support assistant for your website. Now on Linux too.

• Linux is here: a .deb for Ubuntu 24.04+, Debian 13 and Mint 22+, and an AppImage for any x86_64 distro with glibc 2.39+.
• Two Mac builds: Apple Silicon (M1 and newer; local models run on the GPU via Metal) and Intel (local models run on the CPU).
• Give any chat a folder: workers can list, read, create and change files inside it, and nothing outside it. Your home folder, hidden folders, ~/Library and system folders can't be chosen.
• Attach anything to a message: text, code, PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel and images, up to 8 files and 25 MB each. A bar above the message box always shows what the chat can reach.
• Automate: record yourself doing a task on your Mac, turn the recording into a written procedure, then let a worker run it. It asks for your approval before it clicks or types.
• Website Assistants: a customer-support assistant on your own server, with your own API key and knowledge base, added to your site with one script tag.
• Fixes: delegating a task to a server that needs an approval nobody can give now says so plainly instead of a vague "409" and a false "Done"; a kiosk key can now only continue the kiosk's own chats; knowledge-base excerpts with umlauts or Greek letters no longer crash.

askTheodor 0.9.279 — a full marketing department, on macOS and Windows.

• A complete marketing team you can hire in a minute: 13 specialist roles — SEO, Content, Paid Media, Email & Lifecycle, CRO, Growth, Brand, CRM & Automation, Influencer, Analytics, Localization, Competitive Intelligence and Marketing Ops. Install them one at a time from Workers → Browse Catalog, or take the whole department from the Company Wizard's Marketing Team.
• 104 marketing skills your workers already know how to run — SEO and technical audits, keyword research, content briefs and calendars, campaign and launch plans, email sequences, CRO tests, attribution reports, competitor teardowns and more.
• 10 new one-click connectors: Klaviyo, Customer.io, ActiveCampaign, Kit, beehiiv, Ahrefs, DataForSEO, Webflow, Contentful and Plausible.
• Refreshed provider model lists: Claude Opus 5, GPT-5.6, Qwen 3.7 and Kimi K3.
• Fixes: importing a demo now shows its company and workers on every screen without a restart; the floating chat bubble no longer covers the composer; Windows installs bundle the WebView2 runtime, so setup no longer fails on machines without it.

Available for macOS (universal — Apple Silicon + Intel) and Windows, signed and notarized.
