This talk discusses the current development of the Achilles event generator. We will cover its unique features, including automated BSM calculations, accurate spin correlations in tau decays, and novel approaches to intranuclear cascades. Achilles has the goal to be easily extensible for both theorists and phenomenologists. The presentation will provide an overview of the generator's capabilities and guide attendees through its build, installation, and usage processes. We'll also discuss future developments, including a comprehensive theory error budget, automatic uncertainty propagation, and QED radiation implementation.
