datasette-agent 0.5a0

3rd November 2026

This is a significant release of Datasette Agent. The most notable new feature is called the panel - it lets the agent chat open and then sit next to pages from Datasette, for example a table or query page.

When combined with datasette-apps this means you can prompt a database-backed app into existence and then modify it from the chat that sits next to that app.

You can try it by signing in with your GitHub account to agent.datasette.io.
