A0 CLI v1.10 + Agent Zero v1.16 🚀

Hey everyone,

Big release day: A0 CLI v1.10 and Agent Zero v1.16 are live.

The main dish: Computer Use

Cross-platform support for Linux X11/Wayland, macOS, and Windows. This is a beta feature and we're actively looking for feedback from the community. If something feels off or breaks, let us know.

Speech is now fully modular

The legacy speech system has been split into two independent built-in plugins: Kokoro TTS and Whisper STT. Enable either, both, or neither. Browser-native TTS remains available as a fallback when Kokoro is off. The Whisper mic UI only appears when its plugin is enabled.

What else is in this release:

🔒 Screenshots (browser, desktop, computer-use) are now ephemeral and context-scoped by default. They no longer linger on disk.

🧩 Plugin system improvements: simplified ON/OFF toggle, configurable error retry count, skill visibility controls (hide skills from the model-facing catalog), reduced scanner false positives, and a new skills_activate endpoint for connector clients.

🖥️ CLI v1.10: locked release installs with managed CPython 3.11, embedded computer-use backend, skill shortcuts, startup defaults with --chat and --chat-last options, and cleaned up status text.

How to update:

Agent Zero: Settings > Check for updates > Review update > Restart & Update

CLI: if you are on at least v1.7, just run a0 update in your terminal.

Or follow the one-line scripts available at: https://www.agent-zero.ai/p/docs/a0-cli-connector/#install

Feedback on Computer Use is especially welcome.
