What’s new in May

CodeWords’ May release focuses on reducing friction and improving reliability for automation workflows, particularly as users move from experimental projects to production use. Updates include sharper navigation icons, an improved workflow-builder empty state with starter guidance, onboarding notices, tighter chat suggestion spacing, and a 100-character limit for profile names. The platform now requires Pro or Business plans for API keys, positioning API access alongside production-oriented support, security, and performance controls. For WhatsApp integrations, CodeWords introduced a public-URL media download endpoint and improved webhook rate limits, while large images uploaded in chat are automatically converted to WebP to reduce payload sizes and maintain responsiveness. The release presents these refinements as part of CodeWords’ goal of offering natural-language software and automation building with developer-grade infrastructure, while simplifying common challenges such as media handling, rate limits, and workflow setup.
