# July 1, 2026

{% hint style="info" %}
**Developer highlights.** This section tracks API, MCP, SDK, automation, and Taskade Genesis platform changes for developers. For the full product changelog see [taskade.com/changelog](https://www.taskade.com/changelog); for release newsletters see [taskade.com/blog/updates](https://www.taskade.com/blog/updates).
{% endhint %}

## What's New:

### Claude Sonnet 5 Joins the Model Lineup

Claude Sonnet 5 — including its extended-thinking variant — is now selectable across Taskade's AI model pickers, and **Auto** model selection for Taskade EVE and Genesis app building on most paid plans now defaults to it. Agents or automations pinned to a specific model are unchanged.

***

### Embed Your Agent Anywhere — Snippet Builder

The agent **Share** panel now includes an embed snippet builder. Copy a ready-made code snippet to embed your public agent as a chat widget on any external site, and customize the **launcher icon** and background that visitors see. See [Publishing & Sharing](/community-and-sharing/community-and-sharing.md).

***

### Smarter Automation Variable Picker

When you're configuring a step in the flow editor, the variable picker now pre-loads the expected outputs of every preceding step — so you can reference upstream data before those steps have ever run.

***

## Improvements & Fixes:

* Taskade Genesis app generation UI: refreshed theme bar, loaders, and publish menu.
* General stability, performance, and connector reliability improvements.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.taskade.com/changelog/changelog-2026/july-2026/july-1-2026.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
