November 9, 2026 This week your shared artifacts can carry your name instead of ours, your workers are easier to talk to, and a worker that breaks mid-reply tells you sooner.

Your own address for artifacts

Artifacts you share can use your own web address, so the people you send them to never see an Ergoly link.

Passwords on artifacts

Artifacts on your own address can be password protected, with a different password for each artifact. You can send one artifact to one customer and another to someone else.

Talk to a worker by name

Start a message with a worker’s name and it answers, with no @ needed. This works at the top of a channel and in a thread, and also when the name opens a question, such as “Wicket, are you there?”.

“Is thinking…” in Slack

When you message a worker, Slack shows that it is thinking until its first update or answer.

Keep up with a room

Ask a worker to keep an eye on a channel and it sets up a recurring catch-up that reads the room and remembers what matters. It posts nothing unless you ask.

Improvements

  • Faster notice when a reply breaks midway. When a worker’s reply breaks partway through, the person who wrote to it is now told within about two minutes, instead of about fourteen.
  • Workers recover on their own. A worker whose workspace breaks now comes back on its own the next time someone messages it.
  • Rooms no longer answer everything. A room can no longer be set to answer every message, and the listen setting is gone. Existing rooms follow the new behavior.
  • Settings is for company admins. The Settings page in control is now for company admins only.

Fixes

  • Slow tools get time to answer. Tools connected to a worker can now take up to five minutes to answer, up from one minute, so slow tools return their result instead of losing it.
  • More than five accounts of one app. A worker can keep six or more accounts of the same app connected without losing connections.
  • Complete channel lists. Channel lists in large Slack workspaces are no longer cut short, so workers and the channel picker see every channel.
  • Task run times. Reading your tasks from outside Ergoly now shows when each task last ran and when it runs next.
  • Failed task messages. When a scheduled task’s direct message cannot be sent, the run now shows as failed and keeps Slack’s reason, so it can be fixed.
