# October 2026 release notes

> October 2026: AI Assistant launches, with Browser Use and Cloud Agent in Beta and Auto-detect, so you can describe the data and get a reusable task.

**AI Assistant**

Describe the data you need and get a task you can run again

AI Assistant is now available. Describe the data you need in your own words, in any language, and AI Assistant recommends a template or builds a task for you.

## New features

* **[AI Assistant](https://www.octoparse.com/docs/en/ai-assistant/index.md)** — Open it from the **AI Assistant** tab in your user center, or type a request into the chat box on the Octoparse homepage. It sums up your request in a **What I understood** card you can edit, and recommends a matching template first.
* **[Browser Use](https://www.octoparse.com/docs/en/ai-assistant/browser-use.md) (Beta)** — Builds a task that runs in your own browser through the Octoparse extension, so it can collect data you see when you're signed in.
* **[Cloud Agent](https://www.octoparse.com/docs/en/ai-assistant/cloud-agent.md) (Beta)** — Builds a dedicated scraper that runs on Octoparse Cloud, on a schedule, with your computer off. You get an email when it's ready.
* **[Auto-detect](https://www.octoparse.com/docs/en/ai-assistant/auto-detect.md)** — Generates an Octoparse Desktop task from one page URL, ready to adjust in Desktop.

Tasks built with AI Assistant are saved to your task list. See [Manage AI tasks](https://www.octoparse.com/docs/en/ai-assistant/manage-ai-tasks.md).
