🚀 Big Spring Update: Scheduled Triggers, an AI Agent Builder, Jira & Confluence, and More

We've been shipping fast. Here's a roundup of what's new in Runbear since our last update.

New

  • Triggers & scheduled automations. Your agents can now act on their own. Set up scheduled jobs (with a Run Now button and an active/inactive toggle) and event triggers that fire on real-world events, with a guided setup wizard, LLM-based pre-filtering, and automatic reconnect prompts when an integration needs re-auth.
  • AI-assisted agent builder & editor. Build an agent just by chatting, and refine its Instructions and Contexts with an AI chat panel. We also auto-generate agent descriptions and redesigned the navigation and Overview so everything is easier to find.
  • Slack-first onboarding. Getting started is now a single Slack-first flow with a persistent "Get Started" checklist and a friendlier welcome that walks you to your first working agent.
  • More integrations. Official Atlassian Jira and Confluence support, plus Granola, HiBob, Tiro, Apify, Google Cloud, native Gmail and Calendar, and custom MCP servers for personal agents.
  • The latest models. Claude Opus 4.7 (BYOK) with adaptive thinking, Claude Sonnet 4.6, and Google Gemini via Vertex AI. (Claude 3.7 Sonnet has reached end of life.)

Improved

  • A smarter Inbox Agent. Sharper Slack and Gmail draft replies that match your voice and tone, missed-message reminders so nothing slips, and less-intrusive insight notifications.
  • Slack experience. Native streaming replies with a live status pill and plan card, interactive choice buttons, response feedback buttons, and proper tables in Slack, plus a long list of rendering and reliability fixes.
  • Knowledge base quality & control. Exclude individual URLs from website sync, add an entire Google Drive at once, multi-tab Google Docs support, better Notion parsing, per-agent retrieval tuning, and stronger grounding to reduce hallucinations.
  • Reliability. More resilient Microsoft Teams delivery, graceful handling of broken integrations, and automatic model fallback to keep responses flowing.
