Resume open agents automatically after an app update

From tiago.guimaraesDone 3 days ago

When I click the green update icon in the bottom-right corner, AgentsRoom restarts to install the new version. When it comes back, every agent that was open is stopped, and I have to go into each one and click Resume by hand.

AgentsRoom ships updates every day, sometimes more than once a day. I really like that and I want to stay on the latest version. But because of the manual resume step, I often put off updating. With several agents open, resuming them one by one takes time and breaks my flow.

Suggestion: after an update restart, automatically resume every agent that was open before the restart, using its previous conversation, as if I had clicked Resume on each one.

Nice to have:

A setting to turn auto-resume on or off, for people who'd rather resume by hand
Skip auto-resume for agents that were closed before the update, and only bring back the ones that were open
A short notice after the restart, such as "5 agents resumed", with a way to see which ones failed to resume and why
If an agent was in the middle of a task when I clicked update, either warn me before restarting or resume it so it can pick the task back up

Why it helps: updating would take one click and no cleanup afterward, so I could update as soon as a new version is out instead of waiting for a quiet moment.

This will be available in the next version. A new option, "Resume agents after an update" (Settings > Global settings), lets your agents pick up their previous conversation on their own after you click the update button, so you no longer have to click Resume on each one. It is off by default, so switch it on once. Only the agents that were open before the update come back, and an agent that was in the middle of a task picks it back up in the same conversation. If this is not quite what you had in mind, let us know and we will adjust it.

Thanks: your idea is implemented and ships in the next release. We built it the way we pictured it, so if the result is not what you had in mind, tell us and we will adjust it.
