Val Town shipped infrastructure to make agents first-class: Townie evolved to v5 powered by Claude 4.5 and a Model Context Protocol integration, every val gained an embedded SQLite database, and the platform added OAuth and authentication infrastructure via BetterAuth migration. The moves reflect a shift toward agent-native development—supporting GPT Realtime integrations, bringing your own agent patterns, and making internal tools and AI agents deployable directly on Val Town. Recent updates tuned Townie's system prompt and expanded the standard library, while the team began public investor communication around 21% revenue growth.
Focused on agent capabilities and developer tooling. Shipped GPT Realtime 1.5 integration for vals, expanding voice and email agent support, while rolling out Townie v5, an overhauled SQLite implementation, and Language Server Protocol support to strengthen the development experience.
