Changelog
All notable changes and releases for Tiles.
Status
Tiles is currently in alpha. We are focused on making the assistant faster, more reliable, and genuinely useful in daily workflows. Alongside improving the core experience, we are steadily expanding its capabilities and exposing more control through the Tilekit SDK so developers can shape and extend what Tiles can do. Expect rapid iteration with security and correctness as the baseline.
Roadmap
H1 2026
- ATProto-based identity with support for Personal Data Servers (PDS)
- Peer-to-peer encrypted sync
- Agentic harness built with Pi
- MLS-based group chats
- Chunk-based deduplication and caching for Modelfile-generated models
If you would like to influence how we implement this roadmap, join the discussion in our RFCs.
