Stateful Agents, Real Orchestration: 6 Backboard Releases

6 updates shipped for building stateful, orchestrating AI agents — plus free state management for life via MLH.

The 6 Updates

• Adaptive context management — truncate, summarize, and reshape payloads automatically before they hit the model.

• Memory tiers (Light vs Pro) — Light at ~1/10th the cost for speed and affordability; Pro for mission-critical accuracy.

• New navigation + organizations + docs overhaul — structured workspaces, cleaner nav, more detailed docs.

• Custom memory orchestration per assistant — define custom_fact_extraction_prompt and custom_update_memory_prompt in natural language.

• Manual memory search via API — inspect, query, and audit what your agent stored for debugging, admin dashboards, and compliance.

• Portable parallel stateful tool calling — parallel tool calls with persistent state across rounds, portable across providers. Loop until status == COMPLETED.

Free State Management for Life

• Free state management on Backboard for life (limited to state features, no expiration).

• $5 in dev credits (~one free month).

• Combined with BYOK: OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, and Cohere are now stateful for free.
