What’s new

What’s new in Ergod.

The updates worth keeping, across Discord, the web dashboard and Telegram. The small day-to-day fixes stay in the community server; the changes that move the product live here.

  1. Work the group can trust, and channels that build together

    Every version of a build is kept and can be reopened, anyone can ask Ergod to fix a build someone flagged, and a build in a server channel now belongs to that channel by default — with a clear way to keep yours to yourself.

    • All Every version is kept. Each time a build changes, the one before it is saved. Open any earlier version to read it, or restore it as a new one — so the version everybody agreed on is still there after later edits.
    • All Report a problem, get a fix. Anyone can flag something on a build; one tap asks Ergod to fix exactly what they described. The person who made it hears about it, the fix is tied back to the report, and accepting it closes the loop.
    • Discord Choose before Ergod starts. The first time you ask for new work in a server channel without a saved choice, Ergod asks whether to use the shared room or Just me. Shared-room creations belong to that channel; Just me uses your personal agent, workspace and history. Messages, replies and files posted in the channel remain visible there.
    • Discord Your choice is remembered. Once you choose shared-room work or Just me, Ergod saves it for next time instead of interrupting every request. Server admins can still set the server’s starting choice.
    • Discord Quieter handoffs. Copying a link does not add an extra confirmation message to the channel. Builds and answers still go where you asked; if Discord will not let Ergod post a result, it tells you and gives you the link instead of quietly failing.
    • All If a turn is stopped early, Ergod gives back whatever it already made.
    • All A friendlier hello. The welcome is now a short invitation — what Ergod does, where it works, and one thing to try — instead of a wall of text, and however you add Ergod, the first step is never a blank screen.
    • Web Shared links look after themselves. A link to something Ergod built keeps its look even after the original is edited, a very popular link rests instead of running forever, and any page can be reported.
    • Discord Hand Ergod a message. Right-click any message → Apps → “Ergod: narrate this” gives Ergod that message’s full text — handy for keeping a story or a game going in a channel.
  2. The Discord Activity becomes a room you play in

    Open Ergod in a voice channel and the whole group is in it at once: something to play with no prompt at all, a round where the room decides what gets built next, and a way to keep the version you changed.

    • Discord Games you can just start. A Play catalogue opens with the Activity — Trivia deals eight questions, everybody answers on their own screen, and the room gets a scoreboard. No prompt, no idea needed, nothing to set up. You can also ask Ergod to write the questions about your own server.
    • Discord Rounds, end to end. Anyone starts one, everybody gets a suggestion and a vote, Ergod builds the winner while the room watches it happen, and the reveal has a Play it button. Whoever proposed it gets their name on it.
    • Discord “Make my version”. Name one change to any game — make it harder, make it about cats — and Ergod builds you your own variant of it.
    • Discord Your versions are kept. Variants land on a shelf of their own that anybody in the channel can start again later, so a rule somebody changed as a joke on Tuesday is still there on Friday.
    • Discord Share what the room made. Hand out a link, or post it into the channel through Discord’s own share sheet. Where Discord will not give an Activity the clipboard, the link arrives already selected to hold and copy — never a “copied!” that did not happen.
    • Discord Your own settings, inside the Activity. A personal panel carries the model that answers you, whether memory is on, and your card colour — the strip beside Ergod’s working card, so the room can tell whose build is whose. The room stays shared; these do not.
    • All Play links, with a picture. A link to something Ergod built opens the page full screen in an ordinary browser tab, and it now brings a preview rendered from the page itself, so it looks like something when you paste it somewhere.
    • Web Shared sessions are readable on the web. Catch up on a room shows the recent work without scrolling back through a channel, and Continue together picks the shared conversation up from the browser. Rooms you were invited to are listed read-only, with a way straight back into the Discord channel.
    • All Shared answers carry their sources. When Ergod looked things up to answer you, the page you share now shows what it read.
    • Web A Stop button. If a turn is going somewhere you did not want, stop it.
    • All A turn now pauses at your usage limit and continues after. Instead of failing partway through, it stops, tells you what it had already written, and picks up right where it left off once your usage is back — from the next window, or from credits.
    • All A new look. Ergod has a new mark, and it is on the site, the icons and the link previews.
  3. Credits, a rebuilt mobile dashboard, and a roomier free tier

    The biggest update yet: a way to buy usage that never expires, the phone dashboard rebuilt from the ground up, and more room on the free tier.

    • All Credits you can top up. Buy usage that never expires and is spent only after your daily free runs out — one tap in Discord, or any amount on the dashboard.
    • Web The phone dashboard is rebuilt. The chat fills the screen, the type box no longer covers your messages, the model and tools sit up top, and it all reads without pinching.
    • Web The dashboard recovers on its own. Coming back from checkout could leave it stuck on a “too many requests” error; now it waits the limit out and loads itself.
    • All Free is roomier. The daily allowance is about double what it was, so you reach the wall less often to begin with.
    • All A top.gg vote now tops up your credits. It used to be a short-lived boost; now it adds to the pool that never expires and helps the same day.
    • All Turns recover instead of dying quietly. If the model returns nothing, or the connection drops mid-answer, the turn recovers rather than leaving you waiting.
  4. Answers in the channel, tasks in your timezone, files handed back

    A wave of fixes across every surface, aimed at the small frictions that add up.

    • Discord Answers land in the channel, where the whole server can see what ergod said — not a thread that archives after an hour.
    • Web Tools that used to just refuse now ask you first — approve once, or for the whole session.
    • All Scheduled tasks fire on a set time, in your timezone: “every weekday at 8am” now means 8am where you are.
    • All /share-session opens a shared room from anywhere, with no admin menu to dig through.
    • All ergod hands over what it makes — screenshots come back as files instead of being described to you, and the same file no longer arrives twice.
    • All A turn ends by naming what you can do with the thing it just made, and a new room’s first suggestion ends in a file you can open.
    • Discord The Discord Activity got build rounds — the room builds with ergod, then reveals, then votes — and it plays on a phone, keeping anything the room made as a file you can share out.
  5. Use ergod anywhere, and let other agents call it

    Two big reaches: ergod goes wherever you already are, and other tools can now hand work to it.

    • All Add ergod to your account, and its commands work in every server you’re in — even ones without the bot — and in your DMs.
    • All Other agents can call ergod now. It runs a hosted MCP server: mint a token in your dashboard, and your local Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code can hand a job to ergod, with the result landing in your channel.
    • Discord /poll runs a real Discord poll — no reaction spam — and ten quick utility commands landed: /roll, /pick, /translate, /summarize and friends.
    • Discord Richer in-channel cards: files come back as real file cards, with a live tool trace while ergod works.
    • Telegram Telegram caught up — 20+ commands, send it photos and files, and /export delivers the zip.
    • All Schedule standing work (“every weekday at 8am, DM me a briefing”), and see and edit what ergod remembers about you, on every surface.
    • Web Skills and scheduled tasks got dashboard panels, and you can rename a session inline.
  6. The free tier grows up

    A wave of changes to make the free tier feel like the real product, not a trial.

    • All The free tier picks its model — four hosted options with a smarter default, chosen with /model, no card and no key.
    • Discord Right-click any message → “Ask ergod”, or save it to a session.
    • Discord A friendlier welcome that greets you in your language, and shared sessions that announce themselves.
    • Web One-tap upgrades and a cleaner account page.
    • All Every tier can host a shared channel session now, and MCP setup got smoother.
  7. A cleaner look and smarter defaults

    A polish pass across the whole product, plus security upgrades to the per-user workspaces.

    • All One-tap starter prompts and a friendlier first run — no more install popups.
    • All Per-task model tuning, faster and safer workspaces, and ergod remembers the important stuff sooner.
    • Web A cleaner look — real icons, one font, and sharper share pages.
    • All Security upgrades across the encrypted per-user workspaces.
  8. Sign in your way, and bring Telegram

    The dashboard opened up beyond Discord.

    • Web Sign in to the dashboard with Discord, Google or GitHub.
    • All Link Telegram from the dashboard and use ergod in your Telegram chats — the same agent, the same workspace.
  9. Ergod is back, and no longer waiting on anyone

    Discord declined ergod’s privileged-intents application, so ergod was rebuilt to run without them — and came out better for it.

    • Discord ergod runs with zero privileged intents now, so “we can’t read your channel” is enforced by Discord rather than promised — and it’s no longer capped, so you can invite it wherever you want.
    • Discord /ask got better: your question shows in the channel so others can follow along, and it opens a thread properly. The one change — in a thread, add @ergod to each follow-up.
    • Web The first web dashboard shipped — sign in with Discord and see your account, usage and stats. Much more to come.
  10. Fewer dead ends

    An under-the-hood reliability wave aimed at the moments that used to feel rough — mostly invisible by design; you just notice fewer dead ends.

    • All Tool errors now carry enough context for the agent to recover on the next try instead of looping — an edit failure shows the closest-matching block with line numbers, a shell failure explains the exit code, and a not-found path suggests nearby files.
    • All A tool that failed a few times no longer stays locked for the rest of the session — every new message is a clean slate.
    • All Stuck “thinking…” spinners got a proper recovery path, so a finished message no longer leaves a ghost card behind.
    • Discord In a shared channel session, ergod saves only collaborative facts to the shared memory — your personal preferences stay in your own session with ergod.
    • All Model selection actually propagates now — “I set my model to X but it still uses Y” is gone.
