Hi there — this is our first
newsletter, so we’re catching you up on everything
we’ve shipped over the past two weeks.
// NEW FEATURES
Cron-Based Automations
Schedule recurring workflows with cron expressions. Run
security scans every Monday, update dependencies weekly,
or generate reports on a schedule — Twill handles
it automatically.
Public Tasks API (v1)
Create, list, cancel, and manage tasks programmatically.
Send follow-up messages, approve plans, and poll for
status — all through a REST API with API key
authentication.
Sentry & Google Cloud Integrations
Connect Sentry or Google Cloud to your workspace and
trigger Twill tasks directly from issue events. Your
codebase responds to production issues automatically.
Optional Planning
Planning is now opt-in. Small changes go straight to
implementation by default, so tasks run faster. Toggle
Plan mode when you need it.
Computer Use (CLI)
Agents can now automate Linux desktop apps in an X11
session via screenshots and mouse/keyboard commands.
Great for Electron and Tauri smoke tests.
