Move older OpenWork installs to OpenCode v2 in the background
- Older installs move to OpenCode v2 in the background. Existing installs still using OpenCode v1 are moved over automatically, with a backup made first so your chats are kept. Windows installers also carry less duplicate engine data, and Windows can identify OpenWork's signed app files.
- Computer use is more capable and predictable. For Mac users, the agent can script apps directly and keeps working while you use your computer; Take over and Stop return control, and Continue resumes the task. Workbot can also script supported desktop apps. Browser pages keep a steady desktop, tablet, or phone size while the panel changes, and forms take fewer steps. When available, you can dictate into OpenWork or Workbot.
- Chat can work with more of your existing tasks and connections. Type
#to add another task as context, ask the agent to create or move sidebar groups, and find connected actions with everyday wording. You can finish or repair an API-key connection in chat without sharing the key with the agent, and OpenWork Cloud tools work again in older desktop versions. - Documents and first launches are more dependable. Closing an edited document now gives clear save, discard, or cancel choices, and reloading or reopening it preserves your editing session and unsaved work. Workbot can open a requested document beside chat, explain why a file could not open, and show or rebuild a computer that will not connect. Fresh desktop installs can load built-in tools even if the package registry is unavailable; slow Windows sign-in and first launch no longer hide recovery options.
- For admins: team and organization controls are clearer. Platform administrators can manage feature access per organization member and, when enabled, grant organizations Web access or extra Free Auto usage. Admins can finish connector setup after a check fails, remove connectors, and save team-role changes reliably; Workbot settings show one default model and its availability. When available, Workbot can guide eligible people from free Auto to paid Luna without losing the conversation.
- Website visitors can find practical AI governance guidance. The expanded enterprise pages explain governing employee AI and planning an OpenWork rollout.
