[ Changelog ]
What shipped,
when it shipped.
New capabilities, improvements, and fixes across the Nico desktop, web, and iOS apps. Updates deploy continuously — this is the running record.
August 2026
Approved plans now run to the finish — no more “keep going”
When you approve an execution plan, Nico now carries it through on its own: each completed step is recorded in a durable run ledger, data that was already fetched is reused instead of re-read, and the run continues step by step until it reaches a result — or a decision that is yours. Anything that writes (creating an agent, enrolling prospects, sending) still stops and asks. Reads only, bounded, and every automatic step lands in the activity log.
Scheduled routines hold third-party tools to a stricter standard
Unattended runs — routines, schedules, digests — now execute a connector tool only when the connector itself declares it read-only. Tools without that declaration pause and report instead of acting. Interactive chat is unchanged; this tightens the lane where nobody is watching.
The activity log never overstates what happened
A confirmed action whose backend returned an error could previously be listed as a success in the activity log. Outcomes are now derived from the actual result on every path — success, failure, preview, and served-from-history are recorded distinctly.
July 2026
Release wave across desktop, Mac, and iOS
New builds on every surface: the Electron desktop app (2.5.24, auto-update), the native Swift Mac app (2.1.7), and iOS build 74 on TestFlight. The download page now always reflects the live release feed.
Cleaner long runs: no repeated status lines, no wasted retries
When a connector runs out of credits mid-run, Nico now tells you once and sets that connector aside for the rest of the run instead of retrying it. Repeated narration is collapsed, and a re-stated plan no longer doubles the plan card.
Lookalike engine — true peers, not your own pipeline
“Find companies similar to my best deals” now uses a dedicated similarity engine: seed a company by domain and get genuine peers — same category and size band — each with the reason it matched. Your existing pipeline and customers are excluded automatically, and one chain finds the sales leaders at those peers. Peer results feed the prospecting artifact.
Faster, steadier agent runs
A run that announces its next step now takes that step instead of stopping. Schema lookups no longer burn run budget on read-only questions, connector sessions are kept warm far longer, and server restarts drain gracefully so in-flight answers finish.
Continuous delivery — every improvement ships the day it lands
Nico's backend moved to a fully automated build-and-deploy pipeline on Kubernetes. Fixes and features roll out within minutes of passing the test suites, with pre-migration database snapshots on every schema change.
Runs survive network handoffs and app switches
Switching from Wi-Fi to cellular — or backgrounding the iOS app — no longer loses a running answer. Streams reconnect and replay, and a run that finishes while you're away is waiting when you return.
Plans, billing, and teams
Self-serve billing went live: a real free plan, annual billing, an in-product plan picker, and team workspaces with a shared usage pool and a manager view. Buy a seat, invite a teammate, done.
Native Gmail & Outlook
Connect your own mailbox: Nico reads context, drafts replies into your Drafts folder, and sends only after you confirm — reusing the same secure sign-in as calendar.
Routines + a Today home surface
Recurring work became first-class: curated routines (morning brief, pipeline check, reply sweep) plus custom routines you build yourself, on your schedule. The new Today surface collects the latest outputs across every device.
Nico 2.5 runs on Macrodeep's own infrastructure
The nico-2.5 model now serves from self-hosted GPUs with an automatic fallback safety net — faster first tokens and full control over the serving stack.
Deeper connectors: HubSpot, Attio, and the GTM catalog
Native HubSpot and Attio joined Salesforce with the same depth — pipeline views, record artifacts, and confirm-gated writes — alongside a growing registry of GTM connectors (Apollo, Gong, Outreach, Clay-style tables, and more) with one-click OAuth.
Execution Plan cards
Multi-step work now proposes a visible plan first: numbered steps, the tool each will use, and an Approve & Execute gate. Steps check off live as the run executes them.
Production honesty audit
A four-surface sweep removed every remaining placeholder: feeds, KPIs, and artifacts now render only real data from your connected stack, with honest empty states when a system has nothing to show.
