# Smarter Starts, Faster Feedback

*March 23 – April 9, 2026*

**Platform version:** `v0.6.54`

## Themed Prompt Categories

When you start a new AutoPilot conversation, you now see **themed prompt categories** — Learn, Create, Automate, and Organize. Each theme button opens a popover with **5 contextual prompts** tailored to the category. Personalized prompts are distributed across themes automatically. [↗](https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT/pull/12515)

## Live Timer Stats

A **live elapsed timer** now appears in the AutoPilot thinking indicator while the AI is processing — showing "23s", "1m 5s" and so on after a 20-second threshold so quick responses aren't cluttered. Once the response completes, a **"Thought for Xm Ys" badge** freezes in place below the message. The duration **stays with the conversation**, so you can always see how long a response took — even after refreshing the page or revisiting an older chat.

## Redesigned Onboarding

The onboarding wizard has been **completely redesigned** with an AutoPilot-first flow. A polished 4-step experience — Welcome → Role selection → Pain points → Preparing workspace — collects your role and pain points to **personalize AutoPilot suggestions** from the start. Pain points are **reordered based on your selected role** (e.g. Sales sees "Finding leads" first), and steps sync with URL params so browser back/forward just works.

## Copy Your Prompts

You can now **copy your own prompt messages** in AutoPilot with a single click. A copy button appears on hover — right-aligned below the message — using the same `CopyButton` component already available on assistant responses. No more manual text selection when you want to **reuse or share a prompt** you've written. [↗](https://github.com/Significant-Gravitas/AutoGPT/pull/12571)

## 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://agpt.co/docs/platform/changelog/changelog/march-23-april-9-2026.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.
