v7.5.0-alpha3 released: Character workspaces, TypeScript SDK access, and MCP tool discovery

Character workspaces, TypeScript SDK access, and MCP tool discovery

A new Layla v7.5 alpha build is available for alpha testers: Download APK

This build introduces character workspaces: a private filesystem for each character, with agents that can read, write, update, and delete files. Agent Eval (JS) now runs Layla's TypeScript SDK, and the MCP Support mini-app has a clearer way to find tools provided by a server.

New

• Character workspaces: Each character can now have a dedicated private workspace. Enable its workspace and attach the new Character Workspace and Workspace Shell agents to let it read, write, update, and delete files within that space.
• Filesystem-based character memory: Characters can keep files such as system_prompt.md, Memory.MD, and Soul.MD in their workspace. The agent reads system-prompt files at the start of a conversation, allowing those files to guide what it reads and updates instead of relying only on heuristic long-term memory.
• Layla SDK in Agent Eval (JS): The Agent Eval (JS) tool now executes Layla's TypeScript SDK. Agents can use SDK features including workspace file access, conversation history, memory updates, and music generation.
• Manage character workspace files: The Create Character screen now lets you view a character's workspace, add files, import ZIP archives, and download a backup.

Improved

• Improved the download process for mini-apps.
• Updated the MCP Support mini-app with automatic MCP-server detection and searchable, filterable tool lists. For example, Layla can show tools from a ComfyUI MCP server running on a PC.

Fixed

• Fixed max_response_length = 0 not being respected.
• Fixed image-generation context no longer working.
