Overview

"Nolita 2.1 is now available for developers on GitHub or just by running npx nolita@latest."


What's New

Additional Model Support

The development team resolved previous limitations in their dependency packages. Previously constrained to Claude 2.1, the platform now supports "any Anthropic model currently available." Local model integration is positioned as the logical next step.

Replay Sessions

A new followRoute method was added to the Page API. This feature accepts a memory ID (equivalent to page.pageId) to replay navigation steps from previous sessions.

Users can employ the --record flag with npx nolita to document workflows, then use --replay or integrate the session ID into scripts. The intention is enabling developers to use natural language with Page.do() and Page.browse(), then preserve these trajectories for future automation.

Unified Authentication

Authentication is now centralized through npx nolita auth. Previously, credentials could be provided via:

  • Environment variables
  • config.json files
  • Command-line flags
  • Server payloads
  • API calls

All methods remain functional, but the team recommends "set your keys once, with npx nolita auth, and then never think about them again."


What's Next

The team is preparing for GrowthHax, a hackathon sponsored by 645 Ventures, Skej, and Betaworks. Planned releases include a Python SDK for npx nolita serve sessions and first-class local model functionality.
