🔔 Important: Update Your Extension & Get Started with v12! 🔔
To ensure you get all the latest features in v12, please manually update your rtrvr.ai Chrome Extension:
- Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions
- Ensure "Developer mode" (usually a toggle in the top right) is enabled.
- Click the "Update" button (usually in the top left).
New Permission Request: You'll be asked to approve a new permission for "Tab Groups." This allows rtrvr.ai to visually highlight the browser tabs the agent is actively working on, making it easier for you to follow its actions!
Hello rtrvr.ai Innovators,
Get ready for a massive leap in agentic capability and user flexibility! We're thrilled to launch rtrvr.ai v12, packed with highly-requested credit updates including Bring Your Own Key (BYOK), and groundbreaking Super Agentic Capabilities for tackling even more complex, long-running tasks!
This release is all about giving you more power, more control, and more ways to integrate rtrvr.ai seamlessly into your workflows.
🔥 What's New in v12? 🔥
🎁 Generous Credit Updates & Bring Your Own Key (BYOK)! 🎁
We've revamped our credits system to offer you unprecedented flexibility and value:
- Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) from Google's AI Studio: Enjoy nearly unlimited extension usage! We've even added a one-click button in the extension to guide you through generating and configuring your API key (see the video guide above!). If your key hits any limits, rtrvr.ai seamlessly switches to our key (deducting from your credits). When using your own key, a flat rate of just 0.01 credits per step applies.
- Increased Free Tier & Additive Credits: The free tier is now boosted to 100 credits/month! Plus, all credit updates (from referrals, promotions, etc.) will now add to your existing balance instead of resetting it.
- Refer & Earn Big: Refer friends to install rtrvr.ai! When they redeem your unique code, both of you get 250 bonus credits. Refer up to 10 people and stack up to 2500 free credits!
Step-by-step guide to setting up BYOK.
🧠 Unleash Super Agentic Powers: Long-Running & Parallel Workflows! 🧠
rtrvr.ai can now orchestrate complex, parallel, and long-running workflows (30+ minutes) with enhanced intelligence:
- Smarter Orchestration: Improved context management for the planner, enabling intelligent and parallel orchestration of tasks across multiple tabs.
- Refined Step Management: Better abstraction and discretization of workflow steps for more robust execution.
- Direct Memory Passing: Seamless memory transfer between steps ensures continuity in complex operations.
- New Google Docs Creation Tool: Effortlessly summarize findings or report on context by having the agent generate Google Docs.
- Tackle Long Horizon Tasks: Perfect for in-depth research, multi-stage data processing, and extensive automation scenarios that run over 30 minutes.
⚙️ General Updates & Polish ⚙️
- MCP OAuth Support: Now seamlessly authenticate to MCP servers (e.g., https://mcp.paypal.com/sse) with our new OAuth flow launch.
- Expanded Browser Support: rtrvr.ai is now officially supported as an extension for Brave browsers and generally all Chromium-based browsers.
- Reworked Scheduling: Enjoy more granular control with scheduling options for a specific Start Time and frequency (e.g., "Every X Minutes").
- Agentic Tab Group Highlighting: Visually track the agent's activity with highlighted tab groups for tabs it's currently working on (this is why we've requested a new Extension permission, as noted in the update instructions!).
- Enhanced Task History: The Task History Panel now conveniently shows the credit cost per task, as well as links to any generated Google Sheets or Webpages.
📢 Callout for Collaborators & Innovators! 📢
We're building the future of web interaction, and we want you to be a part of it:
- Shape Our MCP Server: As we gear up to expose the rtrvr.ai Extension as an MCP Server (allowing other tools to call rtrvr!), we're actively seeking design feedback. Join the conversation on our Discord and help us build the most versatile agentic tool!
- Partner on Sponsored Actions - Add Agentic Rails to Your Site! We are partnering with websites to create "Sponsored Actions" – think of them as intelligent shortcuts, powered by rtrvr.ai, directly on your domain. For example, we're working with a reseller website to feature a sponsored action that helps their users open and repost listings to Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and more, seamlessly. If you have a website and are interested in exploring how rtrvr.ai can provide agentic rails for your users, we'd love to partner and try this out with you! Contact us to learn more.
🔮 Sneak Peek: What's Still on the Horizon? 🔮
v12 is a huge step, and we're not slowing down:
- rtrvr.ai as an MCP Server (Coming Soon): We're still hard at work on exposing the rtrvr.ai Chrome Extension itself as an MCP Server, allowing other tools to leverage its powerful web interaction capabilities.
- Federated Cloud Launch (Ongoing Development): Our novel approach to cloud capabilities continues:
- Remote Triggering: Execute your rtrvr.ai Chrome Extension workflows remotely from our cloud. Trigger automations on your computer from your phone or via API!
- Distributed Workflows: Scale your web workflows by parallelizing tasks across multiple rtrvr.ai installations via MCP server URLs.
Ready to Experience rtrvr.ai v12?
Update your extension (see instructions above!), bring your own API key, and explore the new super agentic power!
Your feedback is invaluable as we continue to push the boundaries of AI agent technology. Join our community and share your experiences!
Happy Automating!
