Hi everyone,

The recap for Office Hours #5 is up, and this one was packed with some major updates and live demos you won’t want to miss! If you’re looking to build more powerful, user-friendly, and secure agents, definitely check this out.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of what we covered:

  • :sparkles: Major UI/UX Overhaul:

    • The agent chat preview now exactly matches the public widget.

    • New theming options (colors, font sizes).

    • Persistent Chat History! Users can now see their recent chats thanks to local storage. No more lost conversations on refresh!

    • Fully mobile-responsive design.

  • :rocket: GAME CHANGER: Hugging Face MCP Integration:

    • This is a big one! You can now connect your agents to 1,100+ tools from Hugging Face Spaces using the new “Streamable HTTP” transport.

    • We demoed adding text-to-speech capabilities on the fly (see 24:00 in the video). Think image generation, video tools, and so much more, often leveraging free community models.

  • :paperclip: Native File Upload (Zero Credit Cost!):

    • Users can now upload files (CSV, PDF, DOCX, PPTX, etc.) directly into the chat for your agent to process.

    • Crucially, this is all processed client-side. This means it’s super fast, private (file doesn’t hit our servers), and costs you zero credits .

  • :white_check_mark: Granular MCP Tool Filtering:

    • You can now select exactly which actions from an MCP your agent is allowed to use.

    • Why this matters:

      • Improves Accuracy: As discussed, fewer tools lead to better LLM performance (e.g., 80-90% accuracy with ~9 tools vs. 30% with ~50).

      • Enhances Security: Prevent agents from using potentially destructive actions.

  • :books: 3,000+ New Documentation Pages:

    • Our Help Center got a massive upgrade with more detailed docs for actions and MCPs.

  • :motorway: Roadmap Sneak Peek:

    • We also touched on the upcoming Multi-Agent System (targeting a demo around early July) and native Telegram/WhatsApp integration.

Key Timestamps in the Video:

  • 00:55 - Scheduling Autonomous Agents

  • 02:20 - UI/UX Improvements & Persistent Chat History

  • 11:20 - Native File & CSV Upload (Client-Side Explained)

  • 24:00 - Live Demo: Hugging Face MCP Integration (Text-to-Speech)

  • 38:50 - Documentation Revamp

We highly recommend watching the replay to see these features in action. Let us know if you have any questions or what you plan to build with these new tools!

Happy building!
