Version alpha.7

Fixes

  • Fixed broken mobile padding on responses, Archive and Settings
  • You should now stay logged in for 7 days. Still investigating the root cause of the log-out issue though...

New Features

  • This changelog is now live!
  • Inline images are now much faster, as links and image processing is run in parallel.

  • The privacy policy + changelog are both now on the homepage footer.

Search System Improvements We ran some in-house mini evaluations on the search system, and then improved it based on that. Search queries should now be smarter, work better with operators and date ranges such as after:2024-01-01.

We're also still working on completely stopping the model from adding unrelated graphs to random queries, however the issue should be even less common now.

August 5th, 2024

Version alpha.5

Fixes

  • Some bugfixes, padding issues

New Features & Improvements

  • You can now copy the result's content to your clipboard
  • Internal refactoring of the search system, which should result in slightly faster/more reliable responses

August 1st, 2024

Version alpha.4

New Features & Improvements Accounts are here!

  • Powered by WorkOS Authkit
  • The login screen will be made custom later, but it works great for now
  • Google OAuth is also coming soon...

Based on accounts, these features are now available:

  • Archive! (and well, server-saved search history)
  • Deleting threads! More “thread management” features are to come, but here's the first!

Model is now much less likely to put a graph into random queries

  • Previously, it was common that the end model would hallucinate a graph into unrelated queries.
  • This has now been mostly fixed through some major reworking of the search system!

Calculations! These render in often much before the final model response. Simple, but the newer search architecture has allowed for this. Also soon to come: weather?

Sharing threads! Available to anyone with an account!

Android PWA enhancements

  • Through some PWA magic, I was able to make the share sheet experience work, even without a native app or anything.
  • Quite fun and useful for quick summaries/etc

And that's all (well plus like 50 bug fixes)! Everything you've just seen is now live, with more to come! 💜
