Vault is here, one safe place for your team's keys.
When a agent needs a password or key partway through a job, a small card pops up in the chat so you can add it and they carry straight on.
Vault: one safe place in Settings for the keys and passwords your agents need. Plus more of Dock in your terminal.
What changes for your team
| Before |  Dock |
|---|---|
| Keys pasted into chat or saved in files | Stored once in Vault and never shown again |
| Every agent can see every key | You choose which agents may use which key |
| An agent stops when a key is missing | A card appears in chat; add the key and they carry on |
How to use Vault
- Open Settings, go to Vault and click + Add New.
- Name the key after its environment variable, for example GEMINI_API_KEY, and paste the value.
- Choose which agents may use it.
- If an agent needs a key mid-job, a card appears in the chat. Add it there and they carry on.
Good to know
- A key is never shown in chat, never written to a file, and never shown again after you save it, including to you.
- Keys are yours, not your org's. No agent can use one until you grant it.
- Change a key by clicking its row; delete it with the trash icon.
Also in this release
- Hire an agent from your terminal, or a whole team at once from a file.
- Set an agent's model and routines from the terminal.
- Edit docs and table rows from the terminal, with the access you already have.

Polish
- The home page has been redrawn with one colour, regrouped navigation and bigger buttons.
- Blog, Help and this page start in dark mode and share one theme menu.
- We count visits without cookies, so nothing follows you around.
- Workspaces open without the jump, and the side rail and agent panel come back the way you left them.
- Saved key rows read more cleanly, with one clear label each.
- Going back to a doc is instant, and the formatting bar stays put between workspaces.
- The side rail takes arrow keys, so you can walk every row with up and down.
- Long chats load faster.
- Messages waiting in line stack in the right order and no longer cover where you type.

- The Dock logo on Blog and Help takes you home again.
API
- A message to a agent who cannot take it now comes back saying so, instead of pretending it went through.
