Skales v11.4.51 - Duet

Two people, one plan, each in their own thread. Plus your ChatGPT subscription doing real work, document reading, and a faster start.

Hello everyone,

We've just released Skales v11.4.51, bringing some useful updates to help you get more done with your AI agent.

Your Tasks, Your Chat

You can now take over a team task directly into its own chat. This means you get a dedicated conversation for that task, carrying all the context from your shared team plan, while the original plan remains untouched. It’s a great way to focus on your responsibilities without losing track of the bigger picture.

Documents in Conversation

Skales can now read PDF, Word, and Excel files. Simply point Skales to one of these documents, and you can ask questions about its content directly in chat. This opens up a lot of possibilities for working with your existing files.

Smoother Performance

We've made Skales start up faster, especially if you have a long chat history. It no longer needs to re-read everything on launch, so you can get to your conversations more quickly.

Better ChatGPT Integration

If you have a ChatGPT subscription, Skales now uses it more effectively for tool use and agent tasks. You can also select your preferred model from an editable list, and it will clearly show when you're connected. We've also fixed a few things, like ensuring your chat history stays in order when you're just reading past conversations, and making sure short answers in chat look complete.

Download Skales

New here? Skales is the private AI agent you install like an app - free for personal use, any model, everything stays on your machine.

Updates Sep 6, 2026 Skales v12.9.26 - Grip Grip is the release where Skales stops when you say stop, and tells you what it costs before it spends. Under every reply sits the price of the session, read from the provider or from the price table, with the sub-agents' bill included; a ceiling you set in Goals stops a run before the next paid step and asks you three things - continue, take a cheaper model, or stop - in the chat, in the Code window, in Iris and on the phone. A typed "stop" is honoured before the first request leaves the machine, and a stopped run says so in its own bubble instead of pretending it finished. Credentials are locked away from the file, shell and search tools; a bulk action or a publish asks first, in every mode, and a yes never covers more than the card names. Updates Sep 4, 2026 Skales v12.9.25 - Backbone Backbone is the release where Skales got one engine. A chat you type, a task you scheduled, a job on a timer, a plugin, a webhook, a Discord message, a Telegram or WhatsApp turn and the desktop Buddy used to run on different loops with different rules; now they all run on the same one, with the same guards, the same budget and the same record of what happened. Close Skales in the middle of a run, update it, let it crash: the run comes back as an unfinished run, says how far it got, and one Continue picks it up at that step. Ask for something big and Skales can hand parts of it to sub-agents, each in its own checkout of your repository, and collect the results. Under every reply sits a context meter that names what filled the window: the system prompt, the tool definitions, your skills, your memory and the conversation itself. Updates Sep 2, 2026 Skales v12.9.21 - Cockpit 2.0 Cockpit 2.0 is named for the screen it replaces. What used to be two stacked tab bars, a second title and a row of icon chips is now one board: everything that stands, in four columns, with goals, your own tasks, Autopilot tasks and schedules as cards you can filter, drag and act on. One head, one action. The phone got the same board in 2.9.21, and a computer on an older version still fills it from what it can tell rather than showing an empty screen.
