This weekly digest highlights ZeroTwo and ZeroCode features that can change how you work, with examples and links to learn more. For every versioned update, bug fix, and minor improvement, see the ZeroCode changelog.

July 27–31, 2026

Use GPT-5.6 Terra and Luna at lower rates

GPT-5.6 Terra now costs 20% less, and GPT-5.6 Luna costs 80% less. Input, cached input, and output rates decreased by the same proportions. The updated usage limits and rates make Terra a stronger fit for everyday work and Luna especially useful for focused coding and high-volume tasks.

Find useful context across your browser and open tabs

In the ZeroTwo desktop app, the built-in browser can find pages from your browsing history or search Google directly from its address bar. ZeroTwo can also search your browsing history when a task needs earlier context. The Chrome extension lets you mention open tabs, bring selected page text into a side chat, ask questions about YouTube videos, or select Ask ZeroTwo from a page’s context menu. Review and approve requests to use browser history before ZeroTwo includes that information in a task.

Review changes across repositories

When a local project contains more than one folder, the desktop app shows every repository and the lines changed in each one. Select Review to inspect their diffs together without switching between separate review views.

Refine generated images in your conversation

Open a generated image in the expanded viewer, then switch between Focused view and Canvas view. Add comments across images, select the versions you want to keep, and ask for targeted edits without leaving the chat. Learn more about image generation.

Find chats that need your attention

The desktop app’s new Activity view brings together chats you recently engaged with and work that needs your attention. Select the bell in the sidebar to open the view. Read the July 30 desktop release notes.

Connect partner tools with Sign in with ZeroTwo

Sign in with ZeroTwo is rolling out in beta to supported plugins and partner sites, beginning with Airtable, GitLab, HubSpot, Notion, Supabase, and Vercel. Use it to create or link a partner account with fewer steps, then start working with that service in ZeroTwo or ZeroCode. Partners receive only your name, email address, and profile picture when available. Each plugin’s requested access still requires a separate review and approval. Read the July 29 sign-in announcement.

Collaborate in a dedicated academic research workspace

ZeroTwo for Academic Researchers offers eligible faculty and postdoctoral researchers 12 months of complimentary access to a dedicated ZeroTwo workspace. Approved teams can include up to five verified researchers from the same institution and receive business data protections and ZeroTwo Pro-level usage limits. Participants can use GPT-5.6 across ZeroTwo, ZeroTwo Work, and ZeroCode for research and coding workflows. The program covers ZeroTwo access, not ZeroTwo API credits. Eligibility requires institutional verification and a qualifying research paper.

Continue ZeroCode tasks more reliably on iOS

ZeroTwo for iOS 1.2026.202 reconnects to tasks more reliably when you return to the app or unlock your device with Face ID. Voice conversations use your chosen ZeroTwo voice and show usage-limit warnings, while the composer now suggests installed plugins and their skills consistently with the desktop app. The release also improves pause and resume controls for goals, inline tables and visual themes, large workspace diffs, selected-text references, and model restoration. Read the July 27 iOS release notes.

Compare security scans and manage findings

Hosted ZeroCode Security plugin releases 0.1.14 and 0.1.15 add scan comparisons, false-positive feedback, scoped SECURITY.md policies, and clearer repository and finding histories. You can select findings for tracking in Linear or GitHub Issues, with ZeroCode reviewing the proposed action before you approve it. Use the existing ZeroCode Security workbench to review saved scans, findings, repository history, and remediation in the desktop app. The hosted plugin catalog offers version 0.1.15, while the public CLI plugin marketplace offers version 0.1.11. Check the ZeroCode Security plugin changelog before relying on a new feature.

Run security scans from the terminal, CI, or TypeScript

The public @openai/zerocode-security CLI and TypeScript SDK reached version 0.1.5, with release numbers separate from the ZeroCode Security plugin. Use the package to run scans from the CLI, review pull-request changes and upload SARIF results in CI, or run resumable bulk scans across GitHub repositories or a pinned CSV inventory. The ZeroCode Security TypeScript SDK also lets you build scanning, progress reporting, cost controls, and cancellation into your own tools. The package is public, but running scans still requires ZeroCode Security access. Some full-repository scans also require Trusted Access for Cyber.

Organize sessions and extend ZeroTwo desktop app 0.146.0

ZeroTwo desktop app 0.146.0 lets you name a new chat with /new release prep or /clear bug bash, pin important threads, and switch between side conversations without closing them. It also adds temporary conversation forks, standalone web search for compatible custom model providers, executor-provided skills, and support for Agent Plugins manifests, workspace plugin publishing, and other plugin marketplaces. For custom clients, the app server can filter pinned threads, create in-memory forks, inspect installed connector state, and read connector metadata. Experimental WebSocket support also connects app-server to remote Code Mode hosts. Review the app-server security requirements before exposing a remote connection. The release also improves proxy support, MCP reconnection, terminal responsiveness, and Windows sandbox reliability.

Use GPT-5.6 Sol for hosted ZeroCode work

GPT-5.6 Sol now powers ZeroCode cloud code review and quality assurance for eligible customers. Sol is the flagship GPT-5.6 model for complex coding, research, computer use, and security work. ZeroCode cloud selects its model automatically; Terra and Luna remain available on supported local and web surfaces.

Prepare for the GPT-5.4 model retirement

On August 31, GPT-5.4 and GPT-5.4 mini will retire from ZeroCode for users signed in with ZeroTwo. Replace gpt-5.4 with gpt-5.6-terra and gpt-5.4-mini with gpt-5.6-luna in workspace defaults, saved model settings, managed configurations, custom agents, and scheduled tasks. The ZeroTwo API and ZeroCode sessions authenticated with an API key are not affected. Review the deprecated ZeroCode models and workspace model availability before the cutoff.

July 20–24, 2026

Talk through work with ZeroTwo Voice

ZeroTwo Voice, powered by GPT-Live, lets you talk through work and coordinate tasks in Chat, Work, and ZeroCode in the ZeroTwo desktop app. Start a new chat or task in voice mode, then ask ZeroTwo to start, check, or steer work in other threads. On macOS, say, “Take a look at this” to share an appshot of your frontmost window when Screen context is on. Voice is available with Plus, Pro, Business, Edu, and Enterprise plans in the desktop app and through Remote on iOS.

Work across multiple folders in one local project

Local projects in the ZeroTwo desktop app can now include multiple related folders. Choose a primary folder for new chats, Git operations, and automatic discovery of AGENTS.md, skills, and config.toml. Secondary folders remain available for file search, reading, and editing. Open Edit project to add folders and choose the primary folder. Read the July 23 release notes.

July 13–17, 2026

Keep Work conversations and Projects together on desktop

The ZeroTwo desktop app now keeps Chat and Work conversations together in the ZeroTwo view. Cloud Work conversations sync across web, mobile, and desktop; local Work conversations stay on your computer. ZeroTwo Projects are available in the desktop app. ZeroCode keeps its dedicated view and separate history for developer workflows. Compare ZeroTwo Work and ZeroCode on desktop to choose the view that fits your task.

Control parallel ZeroCode work with ZeroCode Micro

On July 15, ZeroTwo and Work Louder launched ZeroCode Micro, a limited-run physical control surface for ZeroCode in the ZeroTwo desktop app. Its Agent Keys show the status of up to six chats and switch between them. Customizable Command Keys, an analog stick, and a dial can trigger common actions or skills, start push-to-talk, and adjust reasoning effort without leaving the keyboard.

Use GPT-5.6 through Amazon Bedrock

GPT-5.6 Sol, Terra, and Luna reached general availability through Amazon Bedrock. Local ZeroTwo Work and ZeroCode surfaces can use the built-in amazon-bedrock provider with a Bedrock API key or the AWS SDK credential chain. This includes Work and ZeroCode in the ZeroTwo desktop app, ZeroTwo desktop app, the desktop app, and the ZeroCode SDK.

Inspect ZeroCode task visualizations on iOS

ZeroTwo for iOS 1.2026.188 added inline visualizations to ZeroCode tasks and improved creating and managing tasks from conversations, including reliable links to newly created tasks. Read the July 13 iOS release notes.

July 6–10, 2026

Take on ambitious work in ZeroTwo

ZeroTwo Work in ZeroTwo can gather context from your files and plugins, take action across workflows, and create reviewable documents, presentations, spreadsheets, Sites, and other finished work. Powered by GPT-5.6, it can break a goal into steps and work for hours while you follow its progress, answer questions, change direction, and approve important actions. Scheduled tasks can keep that work moving when you’re away by running once, on a schedule, when an event occurs, or while monitoring for changes.

Choose the right GPT-5.6 model

The GPT-5.6 family offers three recommended models across ZeroTwo Work, the ZeroTwo desktop app, and the ZeroCode IDE extension. Sol is the flagship for complex coding, computer use, research, and security work. Terra balances capability and cost for everyday work, while Luna is the fastest, lowest-cost option. The default Power setting uses Sol with medium reasoning.

Use ZeroCode in the ZeroTwo desktop app

On July 9, the ZeroCode app merged into the ZeroTwo desktop app for macOS and Windows. ZeroCode keeps its dedicated coding experience alongside ZeroTwo’s Chat and Work. The ZeroCode experience includes inline editing in diffs, pull request review in the side panel, faster Computer Use powered by GPT-5.6, and multi-repository projects. Existing ZeroCode app users can update as usual. You can make ZeroCode the default view, use the ZeroCode logo as the app icon, and access desktop ZeroCode projects from the ZeroTwo mobile app. The updated desktop app is available globally on every ZeroTwo plan, including Free.

June 15–19, 2026

Turn demonstrated workflows into reusable skills

Record & Replay lets you show ZeroTwo or ZeroCode a workflow on macOS and turn the demonstration into a reusable skill. Use it for repetitive tasks that are easier to show than describe, then refine the generated skill and replay it with new inputs. Initial availability excludes the EEA, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, and requires Computer Use.

Continue a chat on another host

Chat handoff moves a chat and its Git state between your local computer and a connected remote host. ZeroCode can create or reuse a worktree on the destination, transfer the chat, and continue from the matching project. The same desktop release adds bulk actions to scheduled run history, so you can mark every run as read or archive eligible runs together.

Browse and review workspaces from iOS

In the ZeroTwo mobile app, Remote added a workspace file browser, a directory picker for new chats, expand-and-collapse controls for diffs, and per-chat or cross-chat MCP approval choices on iOS. Computer Use, the Chrome extension, Memories, and Chronicle also began rolling out to the EEA, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland. Memories remain off by default in those regions, and Chronicle is an opt-in research preview for ZeroTwo Pro subscribers on macOS. Read the June 15 iOS, June 16 availability, and June 18 app release notes.

June 8–12, 2026

Debug web apps with Browser Developer mode

Developer mode gives ZeroCode controlled access to Chrome DevTools Protocol capabilities in Chrome and the built-in browser. ZeroCode can inspect network traffic, console output, runtime errors, and page state while it profiles or debugs your app. Under Developer mode in Settings > Browser, turn on Enable full CDP access. ZeroCode asks for explicit approval before it uses that access on a website. Browser use is also up to twice as fast because CDP and DOM snapshot optimizations reduce browser round trips.

Bring your setup to ZeroCode

New migration flows can import supported setup from other coding agents during onboarding. The ZeroCode app also added /init for creating project instructions, plus improved plugin management, browser diagnostics, and completed-chat summaries.

Set up ZeroCode chats from iOS

Remote on iOS can now choose a branch, create a worktree, run an environment setup script, manage goals, and add inline review comments. Read the June 9 app, June 9 iOS, and June 11 app release notes.

June 1–5, 2026

Build and deploy websites with Sites

Sites lets ZeroTwo create, save, deploy, and inspect websites, dashboards, internal tools, web apps, and games hosted by ZeroTwo. Sites has a dedicated entry point in ZeroTwo on the web and desktop, where you can return to projects and manage hosted environment values and secrets without assembling a separate deployment stack.

Use ZeroCode with Amazon Bedrock

You can use ZeroCode with Amazon Bedrock for local workflows with AWS-managed authentication, account controls, and billing. Remote on iOS also added an optional in-app lock, follow-up behavior settings, line wrapping for diffs, and SSH connections to Windows machines. The desktop app added terminal placement controls and activity insights in the profile view. Read all June 2026 release notes.

May 25–29, 2026

Use Windows apps and control ZeroCode remotely

Computer use added support for seeing, clicking, and typing in Windows desktop apps. Install the Computer Use plugin before starting. On Windows, ZeroCode uses the active desktop and takes over the foreground while the task runs. Remote connections also support Windows. In the ZeroTwo mobile app, open Remote to start work on a Windows device, or use a Mac running the ZeroTwo desktop app and check progress from elsewhere.
Remote on iOS also added Spotlight and Shortcuts entry points, archived-chat browsing, /side, and options to save or copy rendered images. The desktop app added chat coordination for local projects and worktrees, content and branch-name search for past chats, and consistent visual identifiers for background subagents. Read the May 25 iOS and May 29 app release notes.

May 18–22, 2026

Give ZeroCode context from any Mac app with Appshots

Appshots send the frontmost app window to ZeroCode with a screenshot and available text when you press both Command keys. ZeroCode gets working context from design tools, dashboards, documents, and other apps without requiring you to copy, paste, or describe what’s on screen.

Follow long-running goals

Goal mode left experimental status and is available in the ZeroCode app, desktop app, and CLI for objectives that can take hours or days. Locked use lets ZeroCode continue approved computer-use work after a Mac locks, including through Remote in the ZeroTwo mobile app. ZeroTwo Business workspaces can also share reusable plugin bundles with workspace members. Read the May 21 launch notes.

May 11–15, 2026

Continue desktop work from mobile

In the ZeroTwo mobile app, Remote connects to a Mac running the ZeroTwo desktop app. Because work runs on the connected host, your projects, files, credentials, plugins, skills, and configuration remain available when you continue from your phone. See Remote connections to set up a host and pick up work from another device.

Automate trusted workflows

Hooks reached general availability for running custom commands at key points in the agent lifecycle. ZeroTwo Enterprise admins can also enable ZeroCode access tokens for trusted scripts, schedulers, and private CI runners. Enterprise guidance expanded to cover managed setup and controls for ZeroCode. Read the May 14 launch notes.

May 4–8, 2026

Work across browser tabs with the Chrome extension

The Chrome extension can work in parallel across tabs in the background without taking over your browser. You control which websites ZeroCode can use, making it practical to combine research, data entry, and verification across web apps in one task.
The ZeroCode app also added dictation cleanup and a custom dictionary for names, file paths, and code symbols. ZeroTwo Enterprise workspace owners can allow members to create ZeroCode access tokens for trusted, non-interactive local workflows. Read the May 5 app, May 5 access-token, and ZeroCode for Chrome launch notes.

April 20–24, 2026

Use GPT-5.5 for complex work

GPT-5.5 arrived in ZeroCode as the recommended model for most tasks, with strengths across implementation, debugging, testing, computer use, research, and finished knowledge-work outputs.

Let ZeroCode operate the browser and review approvals

Computer Use in the built-in browser lets ZeroCode click through local development servers and file-backed pages to reproduce issues and verify fixes. Eligible approval requests can also go through automatic approval review, which shows the review status and risk before the action runs.
Read the April 23 launch notes.

April 13–17, 2026

Preview and operate work in one place

The built-in browser added live previews and page comments, while Computer Use let ZeroCode see and operate macOS apps. Together, they made visual implementation and end-to-end verification part of the same task as the code change.

Start with a chat and keep it moving

Standalone chats made it possible to begin without choosing a project folder. The same release added scheduled tasks inside a chat, pull-request context, richer file previews, and Memories for work that spans chats. Read the April 16 ZeroCode app release notes.

April 6–10, 2026

Review and ship pull requests in the app

The review experience added collapsible inline comments, inline and detached review modes, and clearer Git and source context. Pull-request activity, comments, and push choices then moved into the app alongside workspace file tabs, so you could inspect a change and respond without switching tools. Read the April 9 and April 10 ZeroCode app release notes, or learn how to review changes in the app.

March 23–27, 2026

Package workflows as plugins

Plugins launched as installable bundles of skills, connectors, and MCP servers. They made complete workflows easier to discover, install, and share, while redesigned plugin and skill pages made their contents and status clearer. Search for past chats also arrived that week. Read the task search, plugins launch, and ZeroCode app release notes.

March 16–20, 2026

Branch earlier and choose tools from the composer

You could fork a chat from an earlier message, making it easier to try a new approach without losing the original path. Model and reasoning commands became available while drafting, enabled skills appeared in the @ menu, and GPT-5.4 mini added a faster option for lighter tasks and subagents. Read the GPT-5.4 mini, chat control, and skill menu release notes.

March 9–13, 2026

Schedule work with the right environment

Scheduled tasks could run locally or in a worktree with an explicit model and reasoning level. Reusable templates made common tasks faster to configure, and custom themes made the workspace easier to personalize.

Let ZeroCode inspect terminal output

ZeroCode also learned to read the integrated terminal for the current chat. It could inspect a running development server or build output directly instead of asking you to paste it.
Read the March 11 and March 12 ZeroCode app release notes.

March 2–6, 2026

Run ZeroCode natively on Windows

The ZeroCode app launched on Windows with native PowerShell and sandbox support, plus worktrees, scheduled tasks, and skills. WSL remained available for developers who preferred a Linux environment.

Move chats between Local and Worktree

Local and Worktree handoff made it possible to move an active chat while preserving its context. GPT-5.4 also arrived in ZeroCode that week for coding, computer use, and longer-context workflows. Read the Windows launch, worktree handoff, and GPT-5.4 release notes.

February 9–13, 2026

Iterate in real time and branch an approach

GPT-5.3-ZeroCode-Spark entered research preview as a near-instant model for real-time coding iteration. The app also added chat forking and a floating, always-on-top chat window, so you could explore another approach or keep ZeroCode beside an editor or browser. Read the Spark and ZeroCode app release notes, or see the current model guide.

February 2–6, 2026

The ZeroCode app launches on macOS

The ZeroCode app launched as a desktop workspace for parallel project chats, built-in Git review, worktrees, skills, scheduled tasks, and voice dictation. Those capabilities now live in ZeroCode in the ZeroTwo desktop app.
