May 2026 Release
The May 2026 release adds real-time Voice mode to Pulse, a Code Change Set workflow for reviewing and publishing Code Agent output as pull requests, task dependencies and chaining, and a round of integration work.
Developers maintaining custom applications should use the Developer Hub for API, SDK, package, and migration notes.
Highlights
- Voice mode — real-time, WebRTC-based voice conversations with standby wake-up.
- Code Change Sets — Code Agent edits now land as a reviewable diff, with a review UI and pull-request creation.
- Tasks can depend on each other and run as a chain.
- Google Drive, GitHub, and browser-based integrations expanded.
- Early meeting capture gained manual recording and workspace-folder delivery.
- A cross-device file-sync protocol for offline work.
New in Pulse
Voice mode
Pulse gained real-time voice: an Azure Realtime-based voice mode with standby wake-up, session handling, and audio transcription. Tool calls can run mid-call over the WebRTC connection that carries the audio. See Voice mode.
Code Agent & sandbox
The Code Agent's output is now a Code Change Set — a reviewable diff artifact with its own review page and diff viewer, plus pull-request creation and status tracking. A Code Specification and Verification agent structures work into briefs the sandbox can verify, backed by a GitHub repository-provider adapter. See Code Agent & sandbox.
Tasks & automation
Tasks can now depend on each other: a task can wait on another (dependsOn) or run as part of a chain, and a blocked task is released once its dependency completes. Auto check-ins gained working-hours and working-day scheduling, and check-in prompts now pull in recent todos and history. See Tasks & automation.
Integrations
Google Drive gained a text-reading tool, GitHub gained worker tools, and the browser tool can now crawl and extract across multiple pages. Repository deletion and integration-account management were added, along with plan-based resource limits on accounts and listeners. See Integrations.
Meeting Agent
Meeting capture gained manual recording and delivery into a workspace folder — an early step toward the full Meeting Agent that shipped the following month. See Meeting Agent.
Files, artifacts & devices
An offline file-sync protocol lets devices keep files current without a live connection. See Files & artifacts and Devices & desktop app.
For organization admins
- Organization license management and usage tracking give admins visibility into plan consumption. See Settings & administration.
What to try
- Start a voice session and ask Pulse to run a task while you talk.
- Ask the Code Agent for a change, then review and publish the resulting Code Change Set as a pull request.
- Create two tasks where one depends on the other, and confirm the second waits for the first.
- Connect Google Drive and ask a question about a document's contents.
