This is our biggest release window yet — 10 releases (mc.5 through mc.14) shipping the largest AI capability expansion in MoltClaw's history alongside meaningful polish across voice, attachments, models, and reliability.

🌟 Top Highlights

Your AI assistant can now do ~37× more. We went from 13 HighLevel skills in mc.11 to ~483 skills live today. Ask MoltClaw to find contacts, search conversations, list opportunities, create calendar appointments, send messages, manage forms, work with social posts, handle invoicing, set up payments, manage knowledge bases, and ~470 more — all directly in chat.
More AI models, including Anthropic's newest flagship. Claude Opus 4.7, Opus 4.6 with 1M context, Sonnet 4.6, plus continued OpenAI / Gemini / Kimi options — pick the right brain for the job from the model picker.
Voice input shipped. Click the mic button in the composer and speak instead of typing. Works in Chrome and other modern browsers.
Images and attachments work everywhere. Send images to GPT, Claude, and Gemini; see them rendered cleanly in chat history; drop large files without hitting upload errors.
Three coordinated releases (mc.12, mc.13, mc.14) ship the AI skill expansion in safe waves with rollback protection — zero customer-facing downtime through the rollout.

🚀 AI Skill Expansion — Ask MoltClaw to Just Do It

Before mc.11 your assistant could chat about your CRM. Now it can actually operate it. ~483 first-class HighLevel skills are wired in across 24 domains:

How it feels in practice

"Show me all open opportunities over $5K from the last 30 days that haven't moved stage in 7+ days." "Create a calendar appointment with Sarah next Tuesday at 2pm." "Send a follow-up message to every contact tagged 'demo-scheduled' who hasn't replied." "Upload these custom field values to the contact form."

Write actions (creates/updates/deletes) always show you a confirmation card before executing — your assistant proposes the change; you approve or cancel. No silent writes to your CRM.

🧠 New AI Models

You can now pick from a richer model lineup in the composer's settings modal:

Anthropic

Claude Opus 4.7 (NEW) — Anthropic's newest flagship. Stronger reasoning and tool use than 4.6. Available with both 200K and 1M context.
Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context now available) — same model, longer memory.
Claude Sonnet 4.6 — fast and capable, great default for everyday work.
Claude Sonnet 4.5 — slightly leaner, lower latency.

OpenAI

GPT-5.4 (default) — best overall performance and quality.
GPT-5.2 — strong reasoning at lower cost.
GPT-5 Mini — fast and affordable for daily tasks.
GPT-4.1 — quick simple tasks on a budget.

Google Gemini

Gemini 2.5 Pro & Flash.

Kimi

Kimi 1.5 & Kimi Latest.

The model picker now groups by provider with concise "best for" labels so you can pick the right model in seconds. (GPT 5.5 and Kimi 2.6 are coming in the next release.)

🎙️ Voice Input

Click the microphone button next to the composer and start speaking — your speech transcribes directly into the message box.

Works on Google Chrome (recommended) and other Chromium-based browsers.
Microphone permissions are requested cleanly the first time.
Clear error messages if your browser doesn't support it or if mic access is denied.

Heads up for Brave / Firefox users: voice input depends on the browser's Web Speech API, which Brave and Firefox restrict by default. Use Chrome for the best experience. (Browser-specific guidance in the error message is shipping in the next release.)

🖼️ Images & Attachments

A run of releases (mc.6 through mc.10) made image / attachment handling work end-to-end across every model and surface:

Send images to any provider: Gemini, OpenAI, and Anthropic all accept images now. The right format is sent to each provider automatically.
AskClaw composer renders attachments with previews — you can see what you're about to send before hitting send.
Image rendering in chat history — assistant responses that include images now display them inline instead of as broken links.
Large file uploads no longer fail with 413 errors — uploads up to the platform limit work reliably.
Web composer thumbnails — preview thumbnails for image attachments in the composer.
Empty-turn UX cleanup — when an attachment fails or is sanitized, the assistant no longer hangs or returns confusing empty turns.

If you've ever tried to drop a screenshot or document into a conversation and hit a wall, this release window is for you.

💬 Composer Polish

Smaller but meaningful improvements:

Model picker dropdown is now alphabetically organized within each provider group, with the most-used models surfaced first.
Empty-turn handling — the assistant gracefully handles edge cases where a previous message was empty or sanitized.
Settings modal reorganization — model, reasoning effort, and other controls are easier to find.
Thinking indicators are clearer about when the model is reasoning vs. responding.

🛡️ Reliability & Performance

A lot of the work since mc.4 is invisible-but-important infrastructure:

Three-wave release strategy — the AI skill expansion shipped in mc.12 (reads), mc.13 (writes), and mc.14 (cleanup + telemetry) so any single release stays scoped and rollback-able.
Automatic deprecation handshake — older versions of skills now coexist with newer versions during transition. Your existing automations don't break when we ship new skills; instead they emit telemetry that helps us know when it's safe to retire the older versions (in mc.15+).
Hardened startup behavior — eliminated a class of intermittent startup hangs during high-traffic deploys.
Improved background scheduler — better handling of resource cleanup so long-running locations stay healthy.
Live deprecation telemetry — operators get visibility into which legacy skills are still in use.
Real rollback protection — mc.12 hit a configuration anomaly during rollout, automatically rolled back to mc.11, and re-promoted cleanly within the same day. Your service stayed up.

🔐 Security & Safety

Write actions always require user confirmation. The proposal/confirm pattern is enforced at the platform level — your assistant cannot silently mutate your CRM.
Three high-risk write skills were quarantined during pre-release security review (user creation, payment provider configuration) — these need stronger UX guardrails than today's confirmation cards provide and will return after a redesign.
Permission rules tightened for an internal proxy gap that affected one less-used domain.

⚙️ Behind the Scenes (For the Curious)

Numbers from the release window:

Skill files shipped: ~445 new (across mc.11 through mc.14)
Backend routes added: 209 read endpoints + 286 write action handlers
Test coverage: 456 per-skill harness fixtures running on staging canaries before every release
Rollback triggers fired and successfully recovered: 1 (mc.12 environmental flap)
Customer-impacting incidents: 0

🔮 What's Next (Phase 28 in Planning)

Things you'll see in upcoming releases:

GPT-5.5 and Kimi 2.6 added to the model picker
Browser-aware voice input messaging — Brave / Firefox users get specific guidance instead of generic errors
Live model picker — when we add a new model, it shows up in your picker without waiting for a separate UI update
"Open MoltClaw Dashboard" quick-link from the model picker to manage advanced configuration

Questions or feedback?

If something works (or doesn't) the way you expected, please share — every release in this window had at least one improvement that came directly from a customer report. The voice input, attachment fixes, model additions, and many of the new skills were prioritized because someone asked for them.

Thanks for using MoltClaw. 🦊
