​
Meet your new Overcut assistant

We’ve reimagined the assistant as a first-class workspace citizen.
  • A new home screen welcomes you with a focused chat experience. Start a workflow, ask a question, or kick off a task from a single input.
  • Persistent header chat stays with you across the app, expanding and collapsing as you work.
  • Conversation history with renaming, deletion, and auto-generated titles, so you can pick up exactly where you left off.
  • Real-time updates across the UI. When the assistant creates or edits something like a workflow, permission, or trigger, the UI updates instantly without a refresh.
  • Smarter and more capable. The assistant can now perform almost anything available in the UI. Ask it to connect an MCP server, inspect logs, manage integrations, or execute workflows.

​
Multi-project workspaces

Workspaces now support multiple projects with proper isolation and scoping throughout the platform.
  • Global project picker in the workspace header for fast switching.
  • Per-project repository access controls. Choose whether a project can access all connected repositories or only a selected subset.
  • Project-level permissions with team and role assignment for finer-grained access control.
  • Project colors for quick visual identification.
  • Project-scoped runs, dashboards, and consumption summaries that automatically respect the active project.
  • Restructured sidebar with workspace ↔ project mode switching and nested settings.

​
Slack integration

  • Connect Slack to your workspace, manage channels, and send messages directly from workflows and the assistant.
  • Channel message triggers that kick off workflows when Slack messages arrive, with filtering by channel, user, and message content.
  • Expanded OAuth scopes for message history and reactions support.

​
Workflow builder & orchestration

  • Syntax-highlighted instruction editor with live preview in a full code editing experience.
  • New agent tools for linking and unlinking tickets across Jira, Linear, and other ticketing systems, including support for relationship types.

​
UI polish

  • Brand-new icon system for crisper and more consistent visuals across the platform.
  • Restyled sidebar, menus, and profile areas with refined design tokens.
  • Centralized breadcrumbs for clearer navigation context across every page.
  • Automatic selection of your latest execution or default repository when opening the playground.
  • Smarter workflow run defaults that jump directly to the most relevant log step based on run status.

​
Reliability & fixes

  • Improved handling for large agent outputs with automatic management of oversized tool results.
  • Cleaner branch checkouts. Cached working trees now discard stray uncommitted changes before switching branches.
  • Fixed an issue where deleting a comment containing a slash command could accidentally retrigger it.
  • Fixed PR approvals via submit_review failing with “no pending review”.

New releasesImprovements
This release is focused on giving teams better visibility, more control, and faster ways to scale agent-driven workflows across the organization.

​
Orchestration Map

Get a clear, real-time view of how your entire system operates.Instead of managing workflows, agents, and integrations in isolation, you can now see how everything connects in one place. This makes it easier to understand dependencies, debug issues faster, and confidently evolve your setup without breaking things.

​
Skills

Turn your existing knowledge and tools into reusable capabilities for agents.Overcut now lets agents use the same skills your developers already rely on, including skills from repositories and marketplaces. You don’t need to rebuild anything, you can plug into what already exists and bring it into your workflows with full control.
  • Reuse skills from your existing ecosystem and marketplaces.
  • Apply the same governance and management layer across all skills.
  • Control which agents can use which skills to keep execution focused and avoid prompt bloat.
  • Ensure consistency while still allowing flexibility at runtime.
The result is a more scalable way to distribute expertise across teams, without losing control.

​
Playbook Catalog

Make it easier for teams to get started and reuse proven workflows. The new catalog helps teams discover, adopt, and standardize workflows across projects, reducing setup time and ensuring best practices are consistently applied.

​
Workflow Visibility

Understanding what happened during a workflow run is now much simpler with a redesign of the execution details and logs. Teams can quickly scan executions, identify issues, and drill into details, reducing time spent debugging and improving overall reliability.

​
Change Accountability

Every workflow version change is now clearly tied to a person, with full visibility on the history page. This improves traceability, governance, and collaboration, especially in larger teams where multiple people are evolving workflows.
​

New releasesImprovements
This release focuses on self-improvement, memory management, and better visibility into agent behavior.

​
Automatic Workflow Self-Improvement

Workflows are now self-improving through an automated reflection process. After a configurable number of executions (default: 10), Overcut analyzes a sampled set of recent runs and feeds insights back into the workflow. Auto-improvement is enabled by default for all workspaces.How it worksEach retrospective runs a multi-step pipeline:
  • Investigate - analyzes logs, tool usage, and outcomes across sampled runs. Identifies errors, inefficiencies, and recurring patterns, including whether existing memories helped or hurt.
  • Process tentative memories - validates previously tentative memories. Repeated patterns are promoted to active; contradictions are removed.
  • Create memories - generates new memories from cross-run patterns. Patterns seen in 2 or more runs become active; strong single-run signals stay tentative.
  • Update weights - adjusts memory relevance (0.0-1.0) based on impact. Helpful memories are strengthened; ineffective ones decay. Memories below 0.05 are archived.
  • Summarize - produces a structured report with findings, memory updates, and recommendations.
Manual mode is also available - run retrospectives on demand with an optional focus question. Manual runs skip weight updates and tentative memory processing to avoid bias.New configuration options
  • Run threshold - number of runs before triggering a retrospective.
  • Sample size - percentage of runs analyzed.

​
Agent Tool Visibility

You can now see exactly which tools each agent has access to during a workflow run.
  • New “Tools Available” message in each agent thread.
  • Captured for both main agents and sub-agents.
  • Included in thread summaries for quick reference.
  • Infrastructure logs excluded from step counts to keep things clean.
This makes it much easier to understand why an agent did or didn’t use a specific tool.

​
Cancel Queued Workflow Runs

Runs in On Hold status can now be cancelled directly from the UI.
  • Cancel button with confirmation dialog.
  • Transitions the run to Failed with a clear status message.

​
GPT-5.3 Codex as Default Model

The default agent model is now GPT-5.3 Codex, improving code generation and reasoning out of the box. Workspaces with an existing default model are not affected.

​
Workflow Version Tracking

Each run now includes the system-managed version of the workflow at dispatch time. This makes it easier to track how changes impact results over time.
​

New releasesImprovements
This update introduces deeper integrations, smarter agents, and better visibility into how your workflows run and improve over time.

​
ClickUp Integration

Overcut now supports full integration with ClickUp. You can connect your workspace and have workflows automatically sync with your tasks:
  • Create comments.
  • Update statuses.
  • Track attachments.
Everything is powered by real-time webhook events, and supports ClickUp markdown formatting for clean, readable updates directly in your tasks.

​
Agent Memory

Agents can now learn across workflow runs. They build memory of patterns, decisions, and context from your codebase, making workflows more consistent over time.Key capabilities:
  • Dedicated UI to view, edit, and manage memory.
  • Memory scoped per workflow step for precision.
  • Full visibility into which memories are used during execution.
  • Tentative memory system where agents suggest new memories for approval.
This is a big step toward adaptive, improving workflows.

​
Retrospective Workflows

You can now run retrospectives on past workflow executions. Select previous runs and trigger a retrospective to:
  • Analyze agent logs and tool usage.
  • Evaluate outcomes.
  • Generate a consolidated summary with actionable insights.
This lays the groundwork for automatic workflow self-improvement.

​
Workflow Dashboard

Each workflow now has a dedicated dashboard with:
  • Recent runs.
  • Average duration.
  • Quick access to run details.
This gives you a clear view of performance over time without digging into logs.

​
GPT-5.4 Model Support

Overcut now supports GPT-5.4 as the default model for agent and chat workflows. You get access to improved reasoning and performance out of the box.

​
Custom Agents

You can now define custom agent types tailored to your workflows. This allows you to go beyond built-in agents and create specialized automation aligned with your development processes.Read the docs

​
Additional Improvements

  • Use case organization - cleaner tab-based navigation.
  • Workflow output display - properly formatted single-message outputs.
  • Scrollable chat - improved experience for long agent conversations.

​
MCP Catalog & One-Click Installation

Finding and installing MCP servers is now much easier. You can browse a curated MCP catalog directly in the app, search by name, filter by category, and see which servers are already installed.When installing a server, a guided setup flow walks you through everything from a single page:
  • Configuring required secrets.
  • Selecting which tools to expose.
  • Previewing the final configuration.
  • Creating the server.
You can still create custom MCP servers for any service in your ecosystem.Read the docs

​
MCP Server Secrets

MCP servers can now have project secrets attached directly to them. Secrets can be created, updated, or removed from the MCP server settings page and are securely resolved at runtime when agents execute.Read the docs

​
Scratchpad Tools for Multi-Agent Workflows

Agents now have built-in scratchpad tools designed for multi-step workflows. These allow agents to pass structured data between steps and agents, replacing file-based scratchpads that sometimes caused path confusion or accidental overwrites.All scratchpad tools are already available to agents in the playbooks repository, so you can start using them immediately in your workflows.Read the docs

​
GPT-5.3-Codex Model Support

GPT-5.3-Codex is now available as a model option. Vision support is enabled out of the box, and vision has also been enabled for existing Codex models. Across most playbooks we are seeing major improvements in quality, accuracy, and execution speed.

​
New Code Review Playbook + Major Improvements

We released a new code review playbook built with:
  • The new scratchpad tools.
  • Improved reasoning flow.
  • Parallel execution.
Combined with GPT-5.3-Codex, we are now seeing average review times of ~4 minutes for mid-to-large PRs, with improved accuracy and more consistent feedback.View the playbook on GitHub

​
Context Map

A new way to manage multiple code and ticket repositories across your workspace.What it isA visual, graph-based view of all your repos across GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Jira, Azure DevOps, and Linear, showing how ticket systems connect to code repos.What you can do with it
  • Visually connect ticket repos to code repos with simple drag and drop.
  • Instantly see which features are enabled per repo (caching, indexing, hints, custom instructions).
  • Filter by org or configuration.
  • Focus on a specific repo and highlight only its related connections.
  • Edit repo configuration inline from the same screen.
Why this mattersAgents need to understand which code repos correspond to which ticket systems. Without clear correlations, scoping gets messy. Context Map becomes the central place to manage that relationship across your entire workspace.
​

New releases
Two new capabilities bring your CI pipelines into Overcut workflows.

​
CI Triggers & Tools

Workflows can now react to CI pipeline events - failed builds, completed runs, timed-out jobs, and more. Six new trigger events (ci_workflow_failed, ci_workflow_completed, and others) let you kick off workflows automatically when something happens in your pipeline. Agents also get five new CI/CD tools to inspect runs, read logs, and retry workflows, all without leaving the Overcut environment.

​
Fix CI Playbook

Our first CI-powered playbook is live. Fix CI automatically detects when a CI run fails on a PR, reads the logs to figure out what went wrong, applies a code fix, validates it locally by re-running the failed command, and pushes the fix, all hands-free.It won’t take shortcuts either: no ts-ignore, no deleting tests, no commenting out code. If the fix requires a bigger change, it leaves a detailed comment for the developer instead.Trigger it automatically on any CI failure, or manually with /fix-ci on any PR.

​
Build Your Own CI Workflows

We also enriched our playbook repo with knowledge about CI events and context, so you can use it to build your own custom CI workflows tailored to your team’s needs.

​
A note on rollout

CI-triggered workflows are a new feature, so we recommend monitoring them for the first few runs before enabling fully autonomous operation. Start with manual triggers (/fix-ci), review the fixes they propose, and enable the automatic trigger once you are confident in the results.
​

New releasesImprovements

​
Vault

You can now securely store secrets and access tokens inside Overcut. Go to Settings -> Agents -> Vault to get started.Secrets stored there are injected into the agent execution sandbox as environment variables at runtime. This allows you to:
  • Store API keys and credentials securely.
  • Control which secrets are available per use case or per agent.
  • Ask the agent to execute commands that reference secrets via environment variables.
No more exposing credentials inside prompts.

​
MCP Support (Beta - Controlled Rollout)

We’ve added support for MCP integrations, allowing you to connect external systems and capabilities directly to specific agents. When combined with Vault, you can provide MCP credentials securely at runtime without exposing them in prompts.MCP is currently in controlled beta rollout and is enabled per workspace on request.

​
Persistent Agent Memory

Agents now retain persistent memory across runs. They carry forward context about your codebase, structure, and project patterns. This reduces repeated exploration and makes execution smarter over time, especially in long-running or iterative workflows.This works automatically. You don’t need to configure or enable anything; the agent manages this behavior internally.

​
Dedicated Explore Agent

We introduced a dedicated Explore Agent for deep codebase understanding. It knows when to explore, when to act, and handles large or unfamiliar repositories much more reliably. This significantly improves accuracy and overall run stability.It is used automatically by other agents when needed. If you want to explicitly instruct an agent to leverage it at a specific step, you can simply say something like “use the explore agent to analyze the repository structure before making changes”.

​
Parallel Multi-Agent Execution

You can now delegate multiple tasks in the same turn within a multi-agent session. For example, you can instruct the system to assign multiple review tasks to different agents simultaneously, enabling true parallel execution instead of sequential work. This reduces total runtime and improves throughput for complex workflows.The coordinator will attempt to parallelize work automatically when it makes sense. If you know that tasks can safely run in parallel and want to improve runtime, you can also instruct it explicitly, for example “run in parallel”, “delegate all tasks at the same time”, or “execute simultaneously”.

​
New Skills in overcut-playbooks

We’ve added new skills to the overcut-playbooks repository to help you create higher-quality Overcut use cases. To use them:
  • Pull the latest version of the repository.
  • Use your preferred local agent.
  • Leverage the new skills to generate or refine structured playbooks.
These updates should make it easier to build reliable, production-ready workflows.

Workflow Versioning

Workflow versioning is now live. This gives you full control over workflow changes with a git-inspired approach, without risking production.What’s new
  • Draft vs Published - edits are saved as drafts. Only published versions run, so you can safely work without affecting live workflows.
  • Publish with messages - when you publish, add a short message describing what changed, just like a commit.
  • Full history - see every version of a workflow, who published it, and when.
  • Safe rollbacks - restore any previous version with one click.
  • Unpublished changes view - a new page shows all workflows with pending changes across the project, including visual diffs.
  • Discard changes - reset your draft back to the last published version.
How it works
  • Edit your workflow as usual; it auto-saves as a draft.
  • When ready, click Publish and add a message.
  • View history anytime from the workflow page.
