Safer approvals, and Buddy is in testing on Google Play.
Approvals
- The whole plan, before the first step. If the agent backs out of something to then do something with it (cancel one booking to book another, unsubscribe to switch plans), it asks you before the cancel, not just before the second step. Undoing its own steps in the current task still doesn't ask.
- Never twice. Before retrying a message, post, order or payment that seemed to fail, the agent checks whether it already went through (the chat, the order confirmation, the history). If it can't tell, it asks you instead of sending again.
Thanks to u/QuanTradin and u/Sentient_Dawn on Reddit for both ideas.
Accessibility and privacy
- Before you turn on Buddy's accessibility service, a short sheet explains what Buddy reads and does with it, and asks for your OK.
- The privacy policy is linked from Settings and from that sheet.
Fixes
- Bottom sheets (like the model picker) scroll when they're taller than the screen.
Google Play
Buddy is in closed testing on Google Play. The GitHub version stays free and complete; the Play version leaves out self-updates and developer mode, as Play requires.
Updating
Buddy will tell you about this update (or ask any agent "update yourself"). Otherwise install buddy.apk below over your current Buddy; your chats, settings and sign-ins are kept.
Full Changelog: v2.1.3...v2.1.4
