Release
March 28, 2026
The biggest release of Aura Workshop yet. We added Mermaid diagram generation as a built-in skill, shipped the billing dashboard with per-provider expense tracking and editable pricing tables, and validated the entire classification system against 11 real-world test scenarios. Every scenario passes end to end -- from classification to team creation to workflow execution to final output.

Engineering
March 22, 2026
Early versions of Aura Workshop let agents create teams whenever they wanted. The result? Dozens of redundant teams clogging the sidebar, wasted tokens on team setup, and confused users. We solved this by making team creation classification-only -- the LLM classifies each prompt and only creates a team when the classification explicitly calls for NEW. This single architectural decision eliminated agent spam entirely and made the system predictable.

Deep Dive

When you're orchestrating multi-agent teams across Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek, Google, and local models, cost tracking becomes critical. We built a billing system that tracks every input and output token per model per provider, stores an editable pricing table so you can match your actual contract rates, and auto-switches to the next provider when a daily or monthly limit is hit. The agent doesn't even notice the switch. Here's how it works under the hood.

Architecture
March 8, 2026
Aura Workshop started as a desktop-only Tauri app. When we added the embedded web server, we faced a choice: maintain two UIs, or make one UI work everywhere. We chose parity. The same SolidJS frontend runs in both the native Tauri webview and any browser. Tauri IPC calls map to REST endpoints. SSE replaces Tauri events. The result is pixel-perfect parity between desktop and browser -- same streaming, same tool calls, same workflow progress, same everything.
