A0 CLI v1.11 and Agent Zero v1.17 are live

Hey everyone,

Two releases in two days. The reason why is that yesterday we announced Computer Use.

Today is a serious polishing and improvement pass across all three operating systems. If you tried Computer Use yesterday and something felt rough, we see you.

What's new in CLI v1.11

Stronger UIA control support on Windows, and better LLM situational awareness across Windows, macOS, and Linux through accessibility features. The model now has a much more grounded sense of what's actually on screen.

What's new in Agent Zero v1.17: Computer Use Remote pipeline

Platform-specific structural targeting skills

🍎 macOS: dedicated skill for Accessibility (AX) structural targeting with ax_snapshot and ax_action, loaded only when the backend reports macOS capabilities.

🪟 Windows: UIA-based skill with window-management guidance, selector passthrough, and click-last workflow hints.

🐧 Linux: AT-SPI/Wayland skill with compact structural tree outlines in snapshot responses for semantic target selection.

Backend-specific action details stay out of the generic prompt: the generic layer only handles backend discovery and skill loading.

🔧 Other improvements

computer_use_remote is now exposed as a callable tool the model can invoke directly in live sessions
Codex OAuth proxy preserves vision inputs (image parts are correctly converted to Responses API input_image parts instead of being flattened to text)
Prompt token accounting fixed: embedded base64 image data URLs no longer inflate context budgets
Window-hide guidance updated for Ubuntu/GNOME/Wayland sessions (Super+H over Alt+F9)

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

If you're testing Computer Use, this is the version to be on. Feedback welcome as always: anything that feels off, let us know.
