Goal for this release
The last release made Hyper’s agent substantially more capable: you could redirect it while it worked, queue follow-up requests, and continue the same work across devices.
This release expands the work Hyper can complete beyond connected APIs. It brings desktop and cloud computer use, Hyper for Windows, eleven new connectors, stronger file handling, and a much faster and more responsive experience.
Our goals were to:
- Let Hyper write and run code, process data, and produce finished files.
- Move files between connected products, computer execution, and conversations.
- Bring the desktop app to Windows.
- Make both actual speed and visible progress substantially better.
- Keep longer conversations useful through automatic compaction.
- Make automations easier to edit, organize, and improve.
- Expand connector coverage while preserving clear controls over actions.
Hyper can now use a computer
Hyper can now run scripts to complete work that connected APIs cannot do on their own.
You can ask it to:
- Analyze a spreadsheet and return a chart or report.
- Transform, combine, or reformat files.
- Inspect a codebase, make changes, and run checks.
- Use command-line tools installed on your desktop.
- Create files you can download or send to a connected product.
Computer execution works alongside Hyper’s existing search, connectors, and conversation history. A task can retrieve information from a connected service, process it with a script, and use the result in a later connector action. (#823, #824, #871)
On your desktop or in the cloud
When a desktop is connected, commands run on that computer and can use its installed tools and environment.
Without a connected desktop, Hyper uses a temporary cloud sandbox. This also lets you request computer work from your phone without making the phone itself run the commands.
Desktop files persist in the work folder. Cloud workspace files are temporary; results returned to the conversation can be previewed, downloaded, or used in another supported action. (#816, #824, #871)
Choose a work folder
Under Settings → Account → Computer, choose the folder where desktop commands should start.
You can select a repository or another existing folder, enter its path directly, or reset to Hyper’s default workspace folder. The choice stays on that computer.
The work folder is a starting directory, not a security sandbox. Desktop commands run with your local account’s permissions. (#836)
Review scripts that need approval
Scripts that change or delete existing files, install software, or run third-party command-line tools ask for approval before execution.
Read-only inspection, calculations, and creating new files to return can run without an extra approval prompt.
Approving a script does not approve a later action in Gmail, Slack, or another connected product. Connector actions keep their own permission checks. (#835)
Follow commands as they run
Script activity now appears as terminal-style rows with live output instead of remaining silent until a command finishes.
Results identify whether the command ran on a desktop or in the cloud. Progress lines update in place, and output is bounded so a noisy command does not overwhelm the conversation.
Independent desktop commands can run together. Desktop commands also support longer execution times, up to ten minutes, and use the login shell’s tool paths. (#838, #844, #845, #846, #849, #874)
Files can move through the whole task
Hyper can now work with files returned by connected services and scripts, not only files you upload yourself.
For example:
Export the data, analyze it, and send me a spreadsheet with the results.
Read this document, create a revised version, and upload it to the project.
The same file can move from a connector into a script, back into the conversation, and onward to another supported connector without the model reconstructing its contents.
Hyper can inspect returned images, PDFs, text, and supported Office documents. Other formats can be processed with computer execution. (#789, #790, #791, #793)
Broader uploads and exports
File handling now covers more supported operations across email, storage, messaging, project-management, and CRM connectors.
This includes provider-specific handling for email attachments, multipart uploads, raw file transfers, and exported content. Hyper supplies the original file bytes in the format the destination requires.
Support remains specific to each provider and operation. Arbitrary download hosts, large resumable uploads, and some separate signed-upload procedures are not included. (#794, #795)
Preview and download results
Uploaded and generated files now use the same authenticated preview and download path.
Images open in a lightbox, PDFs open in the document viewer, and other files retain download controls. Desktop and iPhone can save returned files.
We also fixed previews reloading during streaming, empty-file handling, and exported files being identified with the wrong type. (#702, #750, #809, #812)
Hyper for Windows
You can now use Hyper on your Windows PC!
The desktop app now has a Windows installer, platform-specific release artifacts, and an update path. The download page offers the Windows build with Windows installation instructions.
We also fixed Windows session persistence and stopped the desktop app from opening an unwanted console window.
Download Hyper at heyhyper.ai/download.
The initial installer is unsigned, so Windows may show a SmartScreen warning. (#740, #747, #859, #868)
Eleven new connectors
Hyper now connects to Monaco, Microsoft Planner, Sunsama, Outlook Contacts, GitBook, Gusto, Canvas, Webflow, Persona, Vapi, and Windsor.ai.
Supported operations remain limited by the connected account’s permissions, provider plans, and Hyper’s action controls.
Monaco
Connect Monaco to work with accounts, contacts, opportunities, tasks, meetings, and sequence templates.
Hyper indexes CRM records using your organization’s field labels and pipeline stages, alongside available meeting notes, summaries, and transcripts.
Email and LinkedIn conversations are read on demand through Monaco rather than copied into the background index. (#741)
Microsoft Planner and To Do
One connector brings together Microsoft Planner and Microsoft To Do.
Hyper indexes tasks with their plan or list, descriptions, checklists, links, and available dates. To Do changes use Microsoft’s change feed and notifications; Planner uses periodic checks.
The initial interface excludes Planner write operations that require unsupported version headers. Other supported task operations remain available through the connector. (#729)
Sunsama
Connect Sunsama to work with tasks, daily plans, weekly objectives, and backlog items.
Indexed tasks include notes, subtasks, priorities, estimates, time spent, due dates, and linked work. Private tasks and tasks in personal channels remain private in Hyper.
Sunsama’s supported planning and task actions are also available through its connected interface. (#760)
Outlook Contacts
Outlook Contacts is a separate connection for your Microsoft address book.
Hyper indexes names, companies, job titles, email addresses, phone numbers, postal addresses, categories, and notes across the default Contacts folder and supported contact folders.
Contacts remain private. Incremental updates and notifications keep changed records current. (#761)
GitBook
Connect GitBook to search collections, spaces, and page contents alongside your other company knowledge.
Hyper reads the Markdown of pages in changed spaces and preserves the distinction between deleted content and content the account can no longer access.
The connector also exposes supported GitBook API operations available to the authorized account. (#781)
Gusto
Connect Gusto to work with the payroll and company information available to your account through its supported API.
Gusto is an on-demand connector: Hyper reads current records when a task needs them rather than copying payroll data into a background index.
Connections start private because they can contain salary and personal information. (#797)
Canvas
Connect your school’s Canvas account using its site address and a personal access token.
Hyper indexes current coursework, including:
- Course syllabi and available grades.
- Assignments, submissions, and scores.
- Announcements and discussions.
- Pages, modules, calendar events, and inbox conversations.
The connector also supports Canvas REST and GraphQL operations available to your account. (#798)
Webflow
Connect Webflow to work with sites, page text, CMS collections and items, form submissions, comments, products, and orders.
Incremental synchronization and webhooks keep supported content current. Hyper can also use Webflow’s supported site and content-management actions through its Data API. (#796)
Persona
Connect Persona with an API key to work with identity-verification inquiries, accounts, cases, reports, transactions, and related resources.
Persona is read on demand rather than indexed in the background. The key’s permissions determine which operations are available.
Production and sandbox environments can be connected separately. (#818)
Vapi
Connect Vapi with a private API key to work with voice assistants, calls, chats, phone numbers, and related resources.
Hyper indexes assistants, squads, phone numbers, call summaries and transcripts, and chat conversations. Supported live operations cover the broader voice-agent interface, including available recordings and analytics. (#819)
Windsor.ai
Connect Windsor.ai to query the marketing, advertising, analytics, commerce, CRM, and warehouse sources already connected to your Windsor account.
Hyper can work with metrics across channels and use supported actions such as campaign changes and scheduled exports.
Windsor is an on-demand connector. Results are queried for the dates, accounts, and fields a task needs rather than copied into a document index. (#827)
Connect new services directly from chat
You no longer have to leave a conversation to start connecting a service.
Ask something like:
Connect my GitBook account.
Hyper can show a Connect card in the conversation. Complete the provider’s sign-in flow, then continue the task.
Existing connections use the corresponding reconnect flow. Skip remains available while sign-in is waiting in the browser, so abandoning a connection attempt does not leave the conversation stuck. (#738, #782)
New models and a much faster Hyper
We upgraded:
- GPT-5.6 Sol → GPT-6 Sol
- GPT-5.6 Luna → GPT-6 Luna
- Claude Opus 4.8 → Claude Opus 5.5
Existing saved selections move to their replacement models without requiring you to choose again. GPT-6 Astra remains the default. (#774, #775)
Fast mode is enabled by default
Hyper now requests fast-mode processing for supported models automatically.
Catalog GPT models use OpenAI’s priority processing, and Claude Opus 5.5 uses Anthropic’s fast mode. Other Claude models continue using standard processing where fast mode is not supported.
Actual speed still depends on the provider and task. (#850)
Progress appears sooner and stays useful
Hyper is also much faster and feels more responsive across the board.
Tool names and arguments appear while the model prepares them. Available reasoning summaries feed the waiting indicator, and longer waits show updated wording and elapsed time instead of leaving the same initial message on screen.
Together with live script output, these changes make it much easier to tell what Hyper is doing before the final answer arrives. (#814, #825, #847, #864, #869)
Keep longer conversations going
Hyper now summarizes earlier messages as a conversation fills up. This is called compaction.
After a completed reply reaches the model’s compaction threshold, Hyper saves a summary that later turns use in place of the earlier message history.
You can also request it explicitly:
Compact this conversation.
Desktop provides a Summarize now action as well. Hyper shows when summarization is running.
If compaction fails or is stopped after a completed reply, that reply is preserved. The summary does not have to succeed for you to keep the answer already produced. (#865, #866, #872, #873)
Automations are easier to edit and organize
Edit setup cards directly
Automation setup now uses an editable card for the name, schedule, and instructions.
After editing a proposal, choose Review changes. Hyper reviews the changes and replaces the proposal before you confirm it. Editing the card does not activate an automation or bypass confirmation.
The iPhone prompt editor uses the same review path. (#828)
Update saved automations
Owners can edit an existing automation’s name, schedule, time zone, and instructions from its settings.
Saving instructions creates a new version for future runs. Previous runs retain the instructions they used. Schedule changes recalculate the next run without resuming a paused automation.
Event triggers remain read-only in this editor. Time fields and searchable time zones make scheduled automations easier to adjust. (#828, #856, #858)
Recent and Scheduled
The sidebar now separates:
- Recent: Chats and individual automation runs.
- Scheduled: One entry per automation, including those that have not run yet.
Selecting a Scheduled entry opens its settings, next-run information, and Run now control. Previous results remain available in the run history, with clearer day-and-time labels.
Opening settings does not mark unread results as read. (#802, #821, #826, #831)
Feedback can improve future runs
Feedback on an automation’s output can now prompt an instruction-change proposal without requiring you to use a specific phrase such as “from now on.”
The proposed change still needs review and approval. Commenting on a result does not silently rewrite the automation’s instructions. (#800)
Optional YOLO mode
Under Settings → Responses → Danger, you can enable YOLO mode to let Hyper perform connector actions without approval prompts during your interactive conversations.
YOLO mode is off by default.
While enabled, it can allow sends, updates, and deletions without another confirmation. Use it only when you are comfortable letting Hyper take those actions directly.
It does not change:
- An automation’s confirmed action permissions.
- Computer-script approval requirements.
- Questions that need your answer.
- Connection and reconnect flows.
Turning it off restores normal connector approval rules without leaving behind permanent approval grants. (#716)
Desktop notifications when work needs you
Hyper now sends desktop notifications when a live response finishes or a conversation needs your input.
Notifications identify the conversation and show whether an answer, question, or approval is waiting. Clicking one opens the relevant chat.
Closing the main window now keeps Hyper running. Reopen it from the macOS Dock or the Windows tray. Explicitly quitting stops local notification delivery.
Alerts are suppressed while Hyper is focused, and loading old conversations does not generate new completion notifications. (#772)
Performance and reliability fixes
Search no longer holds up other searches
Concurrent knowledge searches could wait for extra database connections while already holding connections themselves, eventually timing out.
Each file and chat query now acquires and releases its own connection. A failure in one source also no longer discards successful results from the other. (#833)
Better rate-limit handling
Connectors now respect provider retry times expressed as dates, account for differences between clocks, and avoid retrying too aggressively when a provider keeps refusing requests.
Synchronization also holds database locks for shorter periods and coordinates account-level pauses more consistently. (#783, #785, #799, #801, #804)
More reliable approvals and responses
- Parallel approvals: Choosing Allow always can unblock matching requests already waiting in parallel.
- Superseded cards: Old cards expire gracefully instead of returning an unexplained error.
- Stable messages: Completed streaming no longer changes message identities and causes approval flicker.
- OpenAI streaming: Keepalive frames no longer disrupt response handling.
- Clearer failures: The agent receives useful error causes without raw database details.
(#765, #776, #778, #779, #786, #815)
The Anthropic strict-tool grammar fix also shipped in 1.7.1 and is included for anyone upgrading from 1.7.0. (#822)
Other additions and improvements
- Unread conversations: Unread indicators now cover ordinary chats as well as automation results and stay consistent across devices. (#806)
- Sharing on iPhone: Create a share link for the conversation currently open on your phone. (#736)
- Better link previews: Shared conversation links show the chat’s title in supported previews. (#728, #767)
- Correct Gmail links: Messages open in the connected mailbox rather than an unrelated signed-in Gmail account. (#735)
- Keyboard navigation: Back and forward shortcuts work from an empty composer. (#745)
- More polished settings: Refined sidebar and menu selection states, appearance controls, and response-style dropdowns. (#807, #808, #810, #811)
- Better prompt suggestions: Composer examples rotate with clearer animation and corrected alignment. (#813, #820, #867)
Engineering and release improvements
We removed the old agent executor, separated release tooling into its own library, and expanded platform-specific build and publishing support.
Connector changes now trigger broader interface validation. Additional timing measurements help distinguish model latency, tool execution, and the wait before visible output. Model usage is also recorded per agent call for more accurate cost analysis.
The stable release-tool correction already shipped in 1.7.1. (#726, #744, #759, #834, #840, #852, #860)
Coming very soon
Firebase, BigQuery, Google Analytics, Google Ads, and Google Search Console are implemented and awaiting approval.
These are separate from the eleven new connectors available in this release.
