CrewHub v0.17.0 Streaming Chat, Voice Messages & Zen Mode Superpowers
Real-time streaming chat, voice messages, and a supercharged Zen Mode, three features that fundamentally change how you work with your crew.
Streaming Chat
Agents now respond word by word, in real-time no more waiting for the full reply to load. As soon as your agent starts thinking, you start reading.
The chat auto-scrolls as the response streams in, and you can scroll up at any moment to review earlier messages without interrupting the stream.
Available across all three chat interfaces: Zen Mode, the float window, and the mobile chat.
Voice Messages
Record a voice message directly in the chat tap the mic, speak, tap the green arrow to send. That’s it.
Every voice message is automatically transcribed via Groq Whisper, so your agent reads your words and responds to the actual content. Works in any language.
The audio player renders inline in the chat bubble, with the transcript shown beneath it.
Zen Mode gets superpowers
Zen Mode is getting a serious upgrade in v0.17.0. First, you can now open it as a standalone window in the desktop app, a dedicated space for deep focus alongside your main workspace.
Second, Zen Mode now supports browser panels. Add one or more resizable panels next to your chat, each with its own URL bar. Perfect for Agentic Engineering: pull up documentation, your own apps, dashboards, or any web tool right next to your agent conversation. In the desktop app, panels use a full native webview so no site restrictions. In the browser, iframes are used with a graceful fallback.
Panels are persistent, your open URLs survive a reload.
Looking further ahead, we are planning to bring Agentic Engineered views into the 3D world, letting you place live browser panels and custom views directly inside rooms in the 3D workspace.
