Tarsk lets you ask for the cheapest or the fastest endpoint per model, and keeps fallbacks open. https://tarsk.io/blog/inline-visualizations https://tarsk.io/blog/inline-visualizations Wed, 28 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT Tarsk can place a chart, a table, metric cards or a short form inline in a conversation. It draws them from structured data, not HTML. https://tarsk.io/blog/code-first-run-js https://tarsk.io/blog/code-first-run-js Tue, 27 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT run_js chains tool calls inside a single JavaScript run, so the middle of the work stays out of the conversation and only the answer comes back. https://tarsk.io/blog/computer-use https://tarsk.io/blog/computer-use Mon, 26 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT Computer use lets the agent open an app, read its windows, click and type on your machine, with an approval prompt before any action that changes something. https://tarsk.io/blog/cross-project-scope https://tarsk.io/blog/cross-project-scope Sun, 25 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT A Tarsk chat can send work to another project, but only the projects you picked for that chat. Here is how the grant works and what comes back. https://tarsk.io/blog/signed-release-bundles https://tarsk.io/blog/signed-release-bundles Sat, 24 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Tarsk desktop app loads a signed bundle of interface and server code, so a fix can reach you without a fresh download. Here is how channels, activation and rollback work. https://tarsk.io/blog/tunnel-address-belongs-to-account https://tarsk.io/blog/tunnel-address-belongs-to-account Fri, 23 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT Turn on Mobile & Network Access and Tarsk saves this machine's public address to your account, so every signed-in device can find it. The sign-in check still decides who gets in. https://tarsk.io/blog/search-one-project-one-thread https://tarsk.io/blog/search-one-project-one-thread Thu, 22 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT Press Cmd+K and you get two lists: the chats of the project you have open, and the files of the chat you are in. Nothing else, on purpose. https://tarsk.io/blog/passkeys-in-the-browser-panel https://tarsk.io/blog/passkeys-in-the-browser-panel Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT The Browser window now handles passkey and security-key sign-in, so a site that used to fail in the embedded page lets you in without leaving the chat. https://tarsk.io/blog/builderio-sign-in-provider https://tarsk.io/blog/builderio-sign-in-provider Tue, 20 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT Builder.io issues no API key to copy.

Tarsk's own task events and your own webhooks start one the same way. https://tarsk.io/blog/project-task-board https://tarsk.io/blog/project-task-board Sun, 18 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT Summary rows, a title-only list, and a board where each column is a tag. Drag a card and Tarsk moves the tag for you. https://tarsk.io/blog/create-a-project https://tarsk.io/blog/create-a-project Sat, 17 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT Clone a repository, open a folder you already have, or pick one of 54 starters. Tarsk runs the setup and tells the agent what the project is. https://tarsk.io/blog/ios-client https://tarsk.io/blog/ios-client Fri, 16 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT The iPhone app signs in, finds your Tarsk machines, and picks one. Then you chat, answer prompts, edit tasks and review a diff from the phone. https://tarsk.io/blog/latency-tokens-per-second https://tarsk.io/blog/latency-tokens-per-second Thu, 15 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT Tarsk records how long each model response, thinking span and tool call took, tracks tokens per second per model, and shows how much of the prompt the tools use. https://tarsk.io/blog/e2e-test-skill https://tarsk.io/blog/e2e-test-skill Wed, 14 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT The e2e-test skill runs the steps you give it in a real browser, records the whole run, screenshots each checkpoint, and writes a pass or fail table. https://tarsk.io/blog/simplified-technical-english https://tarsk.io/blog/simplified-technical-english Tue, 13 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT Tarsk tells the assistant to write in Simplified Technical English, a controlled form of English built for instructions. The rule shortens replies and flattens their tone. https://tarsk.io/blog/faster-new-chat-workspace https://tarsk.io/blog/faster-new-chat-workspace Mon, 12 Oct 2026 00:00:00 GMT Every chat works in its own copy of the repository. In October that copy started coming from a checkout already on your machine instead of a download.
