What's new in HolaClaw
Every release, in order. The things we added, improved, and fixed β without the marketing.
v1.3.0 Latest
Back up and restore your assistant, and share images and files in chat.
Capture point-in-time snapshots of your assistant β its configuration, credentials, sessions, and workspaces β and restore any of them later. Take snapshots on demand or schedule automatic backups with a retention limit, choose what each snapshot includes, and restore through a guided flow that rolls back if the assistant doesn't come back healthy. Manage it all from the new Backups view or the `holaclaw backup` command line.
Your assistant can now show images and play audio right in the chat, and you can attach your own images and files to send along with a message.
- Feature Back up and restore your assistant: snapshots on demand or on an automatic schedule with a retention limit, a per-snapshot scope (everything, skip workspace, or config only), and a guided restore that rolls back on failure β from the new Backups view or the `holaclaw backup` command line.
- Feature See assistant-sent images and audio inline in chat.
- Feature Attach your own images and files to the messages you send the assistant.
- Feature Open links in chat messages in your browser.
