Week of May 17: Mission Capture, and Atoms That Browse

The biggest week of the quarter. Mission Capture is live — describe what you want done, and your workspace assembles a full workflow before you finish your coffee. Atoms can now browse the open web. And deep research just leveled up.

What's New

Mission Capture

Drop in a goal in plain English — "redesign our onboarding flow" or "build a competitive teardown of our top three rivals" — and Mission Capture compiles a complete workflow: the right atoms, the right tasks in the right order, the right deliverables. No more staring at an empty project. The studio start screen walks you through the first prompt; from there, your workspace takes over.

Atoms Can Browse the Web

Your atoms now navigate the live web — research a competitor's pricing page, pull the latest from a news site, gather context from a public dashboard. Web browsing is metered through your workspace wallet, so you only pay for what your atoms actually look at. No setup, no API keys to wire up. It just works.

Deep Research Routing

For research-heavy tasks, your atoms now have access to a far more capable reasoning engine when the question warrants it. Quick lookups stay fast; multi-hour investigations get the horsepower they need. Routing happens automatically based on what the work demands.

Department Isolation

Teams running multiple departments inside one workspace get clean separation now. Sales atoms can't see Engineering's projects. Legal stays in its lane. The new settings panel lets workspace owners draw the lines with a few clicks.

Bulk Approve & Start

If you operate in approval mode and have a backlog of pending tasks, you can now approve and kick off a batch in one motion — no more clicking through each one individually.

Under the Hood

Spend caps are now provisioned at workspace creation, so budget guardrails are on by default. Project cards in grid view are easier to select, tab animations have a springier feel, and bond gates are now scoped per task instead of per workspace, giving you tighter control over which atoms can use which connections on which jobs.


Fifty weeks in. Your workspace just learned to research the live internet. See you next Sunday.
