Brief
Nanobot's April 12, 2026 update turns the community-driven agent into a production-oriented 'AI coworker' after two months and heavy contributor activity. The release bundles resilience for multi-hour tasks, a three-tier memory with git-tracked long-term storage, bwrap sandboxing and secret-safe config, a one-line/5-line extensible kernel for integration, broad multi-channel I/O, and transparent real-time progress streaming.

Key details
- The release reframes Nanobot 'From AI Assistant to AI Coworker' with concrete technical features: long-running resilience (layered context compression, disk persistence with reference replacement, checkpoint-based smart retry), a three-layer memory system (short/mid/long-term with git-tracked long-term), bwrap non-root sandboxing and ${VAR} config interpolation, an extensible AI kernel (5-line embed, standard API, lifecycle hooks), multi-channel support (Telegram, Slack, Discord, Feishu, WeChat, WhatsApp, Matrix, Email), and end-to-end real-time progress streaming.
