Agent Zero runs on Docker, that's the engine. But you shouldn't need to be a mechanic just to drive the car. Sneak peek at the upcoming A0 Launcher. One unified app to manage your instance, updates, and config. Docker stays under the hood, where it belongs.

We are working on the Subordinate Agents Editor, that will allow you to override default prompts and give custom instructions/knowledge to specialized AI agents right away, from the UI, just like you do with Projects. Meanwhile, use the `a0/agents/` directory as your reference, and let's go through the creation of a new agent. Easy way: ask A0 to look into a0/agents and walk you through the creation of your new set of prompts for the new agent. But let's see how it works internally. For example, look at `a0/agents/hacker/prompts`: notice how it overrides the environment and the main role of the agent with `agent.system.main.environment.md` and `agent.system.main.role.md`. 1 - Open the A0 File Browser 2 - In `a0/prompts` you’ll find all the default framework prompts. 3 - These cover every step of the pipeline, including things like the summarization prompt used when a chat gets too long. All of these can be customized if needed. 4 - Take your time to review what you actually want to override or edit, for instance, the communication prompt if you want the agent to output custom fields after “Thoughts” or to change its thinking style, or again the role prompt to make it more robot-like "Executing task... Running code" in a concise way without conversational text. 5 - Copy only the files you intend to modify into a0/agents/your-agent/prompts/, and edit them there. Important: do not copy the entire a0/prompts folder into a0/agents/your-agent/prompts/. You don’t need all prompts whatever your use case is, because any file not present in your agent folder will fall back to the framework default. 6 - Once the new folder is created, your agent automatically appears in the Settings UI (first tab). The folder name becomes the agent name.

As I now have two instances of A0 running on two different servers, I find myself constantly having to glance at the URL to determine which one I've got pulled up. It'd be REALLY nice if there'd be an easy way to customize the UI and favicon so we can tell them apart at-a-glance in a crowded browser tab lineup. I tried getting one A0 agent to update the background colors and favicon of the other on the other server, but it seems to really struggle in pulling that off. So I'll probably just resort to locating which CSS does what and do it manually--which kind of feels ironic to me, given what A0 does (semi-autonomous agents). Plus, I'm betting my personalization will get overwritten when the next update occurs. So if I may request: could there be a way to more easily personalize the UI, and have that personalization included in the Backup and Restore feature, pretty please?

Sorry if this has been covered maybe needs a reboot: Is there some kind of disclaimer or indemnification needed to shield from lawsuits the use of A0 in malicious attacks? I don't think is necessary is it? I'm curious. I mean there is hacker stuff built into the system...soo...should be fine right?
