Phi 2.4.0
Phi Browser 2.4 is mostly about two things: letting an external established AI agent actually drive the browser alongside you, and making the first few minutes with Phi feel like meeting someone rather than filling in a form.
The headline is that you are no longer the only one who can use your browser. An agent, whether that is Claude Code, Codex or something you wire up yourself, can now operate Phi directly in its own Space while you carry on browsing in yours. You can watch it work live, take the wheel the moment you want to, and hand it back when you are done. Agents from outside have to ask before they use a skill, and their session stays awake while they work instead of quietly expiring halfway through the job. Agent activity has also learned some manners: it is a soft glow at the edge of the window now rather than an overlay across the middle of it, and it moves a cursor of its own, so you can always tell which hand is on the wheel.
Agent onboarding has been rebuilt as an introduction rather than a form. You pick a personality, your agent draws its own face, and every reply offers something to click instead of a blank box to stare at. The avatar shows up the moment you choose a style, and once you have finished, the onboarding banner stops following you from one new tab to the next.
Split View is now one modifier away: hold Option and click a link, and it opens beside what you were reading instead of landing in your downloads folder.
Remembering things have been our forte, but this time we have also added the option for you to be completely forgotten. Deleting your account now clears your avatar, verification codes and connector bindings along with it, so nothing is left dangling. And the old "Autofill and passwords" setting, which had quietly stopped meaning anything, is gone.
We also fixed the Next button on bookmark import, stopped windows falling out of full screen when you drag them to an external display, sorted out theme colours going strange behind the glass effect and put an end to translation skills failing partway through.
Newer company in your window. Rather the point, this time.
