Overview

OpenMates focused on enhancing the discovery of app capabilities and refining the embed experience. Key updates include the addition of example chats for app skills and a series of fixes for weather and search result rendering. Internal progress was also made on application previews and CI stability.

Released Changes

• OpenMates added example chats to app skill details, allowing users to see practical demonstrations of how specific skills function. (27f6e8775)

Bug Fixes

• The weather embed experience was refined with fixes for empty result filtering, normalized child preview structures, and restored interactions when opening day views from a forecast. (f1d3d39bb, 1663f2505, 39d5877c8)
• Search result templates now correctly store and select rendered child embeds. (482d1cca9, bc17e09fd)
• Chat interaction improvements include better ownership verification after cache misses, mobile viewport constraints for the selection toolbar, and ensuring "Explain in new chat" starts with a clean state. (191a74dae, f59e4efff, 681860336)
• Resolved a regression in the signup flow for users in the EU. (f1b284ab7)

Unreleased Progress

• Initial development of application embed live previews, including backend task runners and frontend renderers, is underway but remains disabled for public use. (e3243f6ef)

Internal Progress

• OpenMates scheduled new weekday smoke tests for self-hosted environments. (e89396b09)
• End-to-end testing was improved by isolating specs that mutate credentials. (a621adab7)
• A shared structure for child embed full-screen views was implemented to ensure UI consistency. (37f9379b4)

Newsletter Guidance

Include

• New example chats for app skills. (27f6e8775)
• Comprehensive weather embed rendering and interaction fixes. (f1d3d39bb, 1663f2505, 39d5877c8)
• Mobile UI refinements for chat message selection. (681860336, d5ad431bb)

Exclude

• Application embed live previews. (e3243f6ef)

Rationale

The update introduces a user-facing discovery feature (skill examples) and resolves several high-visibility bugs in weather and search embeds. Application previews are excluded as they are currently disabled.

Quality Notes

• Weather embed components underwent significant normalization to ensure consistent rendering across different view modes.
• Chat forking logic was hardened with additional ownership checks to prevent unauthorized access during cache misses.
