You have an AI assistant that actually knows what you own, where you are, and what you've talked about before. It's like having a personal concierge who never forgets and never judges your snack habits.
#What It Does
The Chat tab is your direct line to a context-aware AI assistant. Unlike a generic chatbot that starts every conversation from scratch, your ambientChat assistant has access to your full inventory, your documents, your location context, and your conversation history. Ask it about your stuff, your receipts, what's expiring, or what you talked about last week — it already has the background.
It can answer questions, generate shopping lists, summarize receipts, estimate the value of your collections, and help you make sense of everything you've cataloged. Think of it as the one friend who actually remembers where you put things.
#How to Use It
#iOS App
- Tap the Chat tab at the bottom of the screen
- Type your question or request in the text field at the bottom
- Tap the send button (the ↑ up-arrow) to submit your message. On iOS, the keyboard's Return key adds a new line inside your message instead of sending it — so you can write multi-paragraph or list-style prompts and only send when you tap ↑. While the AI is answering, the ↑ button turns into ■ Stop. Tap it at any point — even before the first word appears — to end the answer: whatever had arrived stays, and an answer with nothing yet simply goes away.
- Your AI responds in the conversation area above, with your messages on the right and AI responses on the left
The Context Bar: At the top of the chat, you'll see a bar showing the current context being sent to the AI — your active beacon or location, nearby items, and any focused context. This is how the AI knows where you are and what's around you.
Attachments: Tap the attachment button (paperclip icon) next to the text field to send photos and images, PDFs, Word/Excel/PowerPoint files (.docx/.xlsx/.pptx), notes (.md), plain text, and spreadsheets (.csv/.tsv) along with your message. You can also pick something you already own — Pick from myAI Context attaches an existing inventory item or document by reference.
Pick from myAI Context reaches the whole folder — iOS and Web. The picker used to load the first 200 documents (or items) in a folder and stop there without saying so, so in a folder with more than that, the one you were looking for might simply not be listed. It now loads a screen at a time as you scroll, all the way to the end, newest first, at every level you drill into.
Attach a contract, a deck or a spreadsheet and just ask. Word, Excel and PowerPoint files are read for their text — the app extracts it and hands it to the AI, so you can ask "what's the notice period?" about a .docx the same way you would about a PDF. Choose Save as document and the original file is kept in Documents too, searchable straight away; choose Just discuss and it's used for that conversation only.
Two things worth knowing: old .doc/.xls/.ppt files need saving as .docx/.xlsx/.pptx first (see Documents), and a file that can't be read — password-protected, corrupt, or a slide deck that's all images with no text — will say so rather than letting the AI answer as though it had read it. If you attach something chat can't take at all, it tells you which file and what to do instead.
Choose what happens to an attachment. Once a file is attached, pick one of three:
| Choice | What you get |
|---|---|
| Just discuss | Nothing is saved. The AI can see the file for this conversation only. For a spreadsheet (CSV or Excel) that means the whole sheet, not just its first rows — ask about any row, or ask it to add the rows to your inventory, and the spreadsheet itself still stays out of Documents unless you say "save it". It lasts until you trash the conversation, or 30 days. |
| Save as document | The file is filed in Documents, in a folder you choose. A notice says so; attaching the same file again uses that copy instead of saving another. |
| Add to inventory | The file is scanned and any products in it become inventory items, filed in an inventory folder you choose. Your photo is kept alongside them. For a spreadsheet, the AI shows you which column it will use for the name, brand and so on, then adds every row as an item — the spreadsheet file itself is not saved. |
It's one choice, not a set of checkboxes — documents and inventory are separate folder trees, so the folder picker below shows only the folders that can hold what you're saving. Pick "Add to inventory" and you browse inventory folders; pick "Save as document" and you browse document folders. Switching between them resets the folder, because a document folder isn't a valid home for an inventory item. You can drill into subfolders, and New Folder creates one of the right type in the spot you're looking at.
Attach a photo and ask the AI to save it. Send a picture with something like "add this to my inventory" and the item is created from what the AI can see plus anything you tell it — and your photo is kept as the item's image, rather than the AI illustration scanned items normally get. Handy for one-of-a-kind things where the actual picture is the point. The same works for something you already own — "this is a better photo of my cordless drill" attaches the picture to that item.
Answers hand you the actual thing. When the AI touches something you own — creates an item, updates one, finds a few, opens a document — the answer carries the real record, not just a sentence about it. What you see scales with how many there are:
| How many | What appears |
|---|---|
| One | The item's actual inventory card — the same card you'd see in myAI Context, with its photo, name, and details |
| Two to six | A row of thumbnails you can tap |
| Seven or more | A single chip — "24 items" — that expands in place to list them, grouped by kind, so you stay in the conversation |
One card tells you where it's filed. When an answer cites a single item or document, its card names the folder it lives in — Taxes, say, or Home if it isn't in a folder — and reads it fresh, so a document you've just moved shows where it is now.
Tap any of them to open the real record. If something has since been trashed it shows up muted with an In Trash badge instead of a dead link, and if it was deleted for good you'll see its name as plain text with a note. The names and pictures are looked up fresh every time, so a thread you reopen next year shows what things are called now, not what they were called then.
This works for photos too. Attach a picture, choose Add to inventory, and the card appears in that same answer as soon as the scan finishes — usually a few seconds after the AI stops typing. You don't need to reload or go looking for it.
Ask AI about a specific item or document: You don't have to start in chat. Open any of your items (the speech-bubble button on the item's photo) or any of your documents (the speech-bubble icon in the header) and tap Ask AI — a fresh conversation opens with that item or document already attached. Type your own question ("Is this contract missing anything?", "Is this still safe to eat?") and send. Because the attachment is part of the conversation, the AI keeps it in scope for follow-up questions, and you can switch models mid-thread for a second opinion on the same attachment.
Voice Input: Tap the microphone button — in the row of round buttons above the message box, between the panel-of-experts toggle and the model button — to speak your question instead of typing. The app transcribes your speech and sends it as a message. Handy when your hands are full of groceries you're about to catalog.
Voice Output: The AI can read its responses aloud. When a response arrives, you'll see play/pause controls to start and stop audio playback. Useful when you're cooking and need hands-free answers about that expiring cream cheese.
Model Selection: Tap the model button at the right-hand end of that same row to open the model selector. The button shows the provider's logo and the model's price band — $ Everyday, $$ Thoughtful, $$$ Premium, $$$$ Frontier — and the selector spells out the band names beside the same $ signs. (Long-press the button to see the band name without opening the selector.) You can switch between AI providers — OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Anthropic Claude — depending on which model you prefer or which handles your question best.
Usage Indicator: A small indicator shows how many tokens you've used against your subscription tier's limit. Keep an eye on this if you're on the free tier — your AI is helpful, but it does have a budget.
Hold an icon to find out what it is. Chat is a row of small glyphs and none of them is labelled, so press and hold any icon-only button and its name appears in a small white card. Let go without moving and nothing happens — it is a way of asking, not of doing. This works right across chat now: the round buttons above the message box, the save / print / export / copy icons under an answer, the context chips, the attachment thumbnails, the image cards, and the share buttons inside the Skills drawer and the share sheet. Only one name shows at a time.
(Two places are deliberately quiet. A button that already carries a visible text label has nothing to add, and the trash can on a document card doesn't answer a hold — that gesture picks the card up to drag it into a folder instead.)
#Web
The web interface at app.ambientchat.ai has the same chat, in your browser:
- Open the Chat page
- Type in the box at the bottom; Enter sends and Shift+Enter adds a new line (the desktop convention)
- Responses stream in above; while the AI is replying the ↑ send button turns into ■ Stop, as on the iPhone
- Attachments: drag a file onto the chat, or use the attach button, to send images or PDFs — or Pick from myAI Context to attach an existing item or document, which scrolls through the whole folder as described above. The same Just discuss / Save as document / Add to inventory choice appears, with a folder picker showing only folders of the matching type
- Ask AI from a detail view: open any item or document in myAI Context and click the teal Ask AI pill in the header — a fresh conversation opens with it attached, ready for your question
- Answers hand you the actual thing here too — the real card for one record, thumbnails for a few, an expanding "24 items" chip for many. Clicking one opens it, and the address bar updates so you can bookmark or share that exact record
- Model picker: click the model button (top-right) to switch provider/model — your choice is remembered on this device
- Panel: toggle Panel mode, then switch models and press ↻ to put your last question to the next expert — each one reads and responds to the last (see Panel of Experts)
Voice input and spoken replies are on the phone only — the web chat is text-only for now, not because a browser cannot speak but because we have not brought it over yet; a screen reader reads a web answer aloud either way. Press-and-hold to name an icon is iOS-only too — it is a touch gesture, and the web equivalent (a name on hover) is still to come. What the web chat does have, as of this release, is a screen-reader name on every icon button, so the send, attach, skills, history and per-answer controls all announce what they are rather than just "button" — and every one of them is now a real button you can Tab to and press with Enter or Space, and that a screen reader lists when you ask it for the buttons on the page. That applies right across the web app, not only in chat.
#Copying an answer, or just part of one
On the iOS app, tap the copy icon under any answer — or press and hold the answer itself — to open the copy sheet. The same sheet opens from the copy icon on a Q&A card. It shows the answer as plain text, which is exactly what will land on your clipboard.
- Blocks (how it opens) — the answer is broken into its natural pieces: each paragraph, each numbered or bulleted point, each heading, each code block. Tap the ones you want, then Copy selected. Tap again to untick.
- Free text — switch to this tab to press and hold a word and drag the handles, the standard iOS way, when you want a phrase from the middle of a sentence.
- Copy all takes the whole answer, from either tab.
On the web interface you don't need any of this — just click and drag across the answer the way you would on any web page, then ⌘C / Ctrl+C.
#Tips & Tricks
- Be specific with your questions. "What's expiring this week?" is better than "What about my food?" The AI has access to your entire inventory and document history, so the more precise you are, the more useful the answer.
- The AI remembers your conversations. You can reference past chats: "What did we talk about last Tuesday?" or "Remind me what you said about my camera collection." It searches your conversation history automatically.
- Try different models for different tasks. Some models are better at creative writing, others at precise analysis. If one model's answer isn't quite right, switch to another and ask again — your context carries over.
- Press Return for a new line. On the iOS app, the Return key inserts a line break, so you can compose longer, structured prompts (steps, lists, several questions at once). Your message only sends when you tap the ↑ button. On the web interface it follows the desktop convention instead: Enter sends, Shift+Enter adds a new line.
- Re-ask the next expert in one tap. In Panel Discussion mode (the 👥 team toggle), leaving the text box empty turns the send button into a ↻ repeat icon — switch models first, then tap it to put your last question to the newly-selected model, which reads and responds to what the earlier model said.
#Example Prompts
Here are some things you can ask that take full advantage of your personal context:
- "What's expiring this week?"
- "How much is my electronics collection worth?"
- "Create a shopping list from my low-stock pantry items."
- "What did we talk about last Tuesday?"
- "Show me all my receipts from Costco this month."
- "What spices do I have that go with chicken?"
- "Summarize the warranty for my laptop."
- "What's in my medicine cabinet that expires soon?"
#Options
| Setting | What It Does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| AI Model | Which AI provider handles your questions | Gemini |
| Voice Output | Whether AI responses are read aloud | Off |
| Voice Input Language | Language for speech recognition | Device language |
#Every Answer Is Signed
ambientChat lets you use models from all three frontier labs, so every answer tells you exactly which one wrote it:
- In the chat, each answer carries the provider's brand icon and the friendly model name (e.g. Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Opus 5.5) above the bubble — including answers in reopened conversations and each expert's answer in Panel mode. Answers that arrived from an external AI connected over MCP are labeled "via
" instead. - In the Q&A view (myAI Context → Q&A), every saved answer card shows the same brand icon + model name, a chip for the surface it came from (Text, Voice, or MCP), when it happened, and — if the exchange was part of a named conversation — the conversation's name, so you can tell at a glance which chat it belongs to.
- The Q&A view is a scannable index: every conversation — single question or long thread — shows as one compact row with the stacked logos of every model that took part, its name, answer count, and time, so a screenful shows dozens of conversations. Everything starts collapsed; tap a row to expand its full answers in place (your expansions are remembered next time), and searching expands the matches automatically.
- Q&A search reaches every conversation you have ever saved — questions, answers and conversation names — not just the ones the tab has loaded, and a line under the search box says how complete the answer is ("1 match", "200+ matches — scroll for more"). On iOS, offline, it can only look at what is already on the phone and the line says so. On the web the list also loads more as you scroll, so nothing older than the first hundred is out of reach.
- The ↗ glyph on a row reopens that conversation in Chat so you can pick up where you left off.
#When a Big Document Would Cost You
Your AI reaches for your own documents when a question looks related to one. Usually that is exactly what you want. Occasionally it would pull in something enormous — a scanned contract, a long report — and a large document is the most expensive part of an answer.
It now asks first. ambientChat knows how big your documents are before it opens them, so anything big enough to crowd out the rest of your context — around two or three pages of text, or a few pages of scanned images — is held back and offered to you rather than quietly added:
A large document was held back Scanned contract · 12 pages · ~24k tokens if included [ Include it ] [ Leave it out ]
The answer waits for you. The card says Waiting for your choice, and nothing is written until you tap Include it or Leave it out — the same answer then continues, with or without the document. You have about a minute; if you do nothing, it carries on without the document (the cheaper choice) and the AI is told it exists and was not read, so it will say so rather than pretending it looked.
Occasionally you will see the older wording, "A large document was used for this answer". That means the document was cheap enough to include without asking, and you are simply being shown what it cost. The buttons then offer Use summary only (keep the text, drop the scanned pages) or Answer without it.
#Your choice sticks for the rest of the conversation
That is the point: the same document would otherwise match your follow-up questions too, and you would be asked about it — and charged for it — over and over. A chip appears above the message box showing what you decided (e.g. Scanned contract · Not using · this chat).
From Claude Code, Claude Desktop or another AI agent the same document is held back, but there is no card to tap and nothing waits: the agent's answer arrives without the document and tells the agent it was held back, with the cost, so it can ask you and call again to include it. Each of those calls decides for itself — nothing sticks between them. See Panel of Experts → Via MCP.
- Tap the × on the chip to change your mind. The document goes back to normal from your next question onwards.
- Starting a new chat clears it. The choice belongs to the conversation, not to the document.
- Reopening an old conversation brings its choices back, on whichever device you reopen it — phone or web.
Nothing appears for ordinary documents. A receipt, a short note or a one-page manual flows straight through, as before.
#Documents are matched by meaning, not by matching words
Your AI finds relevant documents by comparing meaning, not by looking for shared words. That matters: a question about your health plan and a document about your health plan share obvious words, but so do a dozen documents that have nothing to do with your question.
Very occasionally that meaning-based search is unavailable. When it is, ambientChat will not fall back to guessing from word overlap — it would rather use no document than the wrong one. The answer will say that document search was unreliable, so you know to ask again or name the document you meant. It won't quietly answer as though it had checked.
#Known Limitations
- The AI cannot take actions on your behalf yet — it can tell you what's expiring, but it can't order replacements or throw things away for you. (Probably for the best.)
- Token limits depend on your subscription tier. Free users have a limited number of AI interactions per month. If you hit the ceiling, you'll get a friendly nudge to upgrade.
- Very long conversations may truncate older context. If the AI seems to have forgotten something from much earlier in the chat, start a new conversation — it still has access to your full inventory and documents.
- Image analysis in chat depends on the selected AI model's vision capabilities. Not all models handle images equally well.
- A very large request — filing a couple of hundred items into folders in one go, say — can run past the time one reply is allowed, or past the number of steps it may take. When that happens, any action the AI had already decided on still runs, and the answer ends with a short note saying which limit was hit and whether that last action ran or failed — or, if the reply was cut short before it got to an action, that the answer itself was cut off. What it cannot do is write up the result: a follow-up question starts fresh rather than resuming, though a change that ran has already been made.
- A reply can stream for up to nine minutes. If your connection to it drops before it finishes — a network blip, the app in the background, a very long answer — the answer is not lost: it is saved on the server as it completes, and the chat fills the bubble in from your Q&A history within a couple of minutes on both the iOS app and the web. If nothing turns up in that time you'll see a note saying the answer was interrupted and may be in Q&A — and for the next half hour, coming back to the app (or back to the browser tab) checks again, so an answer that finishes late replaces the note on its own. Asking something new in that conversation stops the check for the earlier answer; it is still in Q&A.
- A slow start is not a dead one. With Private AI the Mac reads your whole question — and any pinned documents — before it writes a word, which can take a minute or more; the chat now keeps waiting through that instead of calling the answer interrupted.
- Stop (■ on the send button, on iOS and the web) works at any point, even while your attachments are still uploading. It really stops: the AI stops writing, takes no further steps (an action it was already in the middle of, such as filing items, finishes so nothing is left half-done), and you are charged only for what it had done up to that point. Whatever had arrived stays on screen and is saved to Q&A exactly as you saw it; an answer stopped before its first word goes away and is not saved. You can ask your next question in the same conversation straight away.
- If the chat can't start an answer at all — your Mac isn't reachable for Private AI, you're sending faster than allowed, the conversation is still working on your last question, or the question is too big for the model — it says why, on iOS and the web. Nothing was produced in that case, so there's nothing to look for in Q&A. If your Mac drops partway through a Desktop AI answer — after the AI has started looking something up — the answer ends with the same reason, such as "Your Mac isn't connected right now.", and that is what Q&A keeps.
- A reply that is working without writing anything you can see yet — the AI writing out a long action such as moving hundreds of items, an image being generated (for up to five minutes), or the chat waiting for you to approve a change — keeps the chat waiting instead of giving up on it. Gemini models write an action all at once rather than a piece at a time, so a very long one can still look silent while it is being written. A reply that shows no sign of work for 90 seconds ends with "That one went quiet", and that note says you weren't charged only when the charge was actually undone.
- After the AI looks something up — your inventory, documents, the web — it reads the result before it writes again. While it does, the answer shows Reading the results… under what it has written so far, on iOS and the web. With Desktop AI on your own Mac that reading can take tens of seconds; the indicator means it is still working.
#Version History
| Version | Date | What Changed |
|---|---|---|
| 41 | 2026-10-07 | Stop really stops — and the web's Stop is on the send button. Stopping an answer used to end it only on your screen: the AI finished it anyway, you were charged for all of it, the whole answer went into Q&A, and asking again in that conversation was refused until it was done. Now the AI stops when you tap ■, you're charged only for what it did, Q&A keeps exactly what you saw, and you can ask again at once. On the web the send button becomes ■ Stop while the AI answers, like the iPhone AMB-1870 |
| 40 | 2026-10-07 | If your Mac drops partway through a Desktop AI answer, the chat says so. When the Mac disconnected after the AI had started looking something up, the answer read "Tool follow-up failed: 503" and then "something went wrong part way through"; it now shows "Your Mac isn't connected right now.", on iOS and the web, and that sentence is what Q&A keeps AMB-1682 |
| 40 | 2026-10-06 | Private AI is now called Home AI (AMB-1782) |
| 39 | 2026-10-06 | A slow answer keeps the chat waiting, a late one still arrives, and the iPhone has a Stop button. A Desktop AI answer with documents pinned could say "interrupted" while the Mac was still reading the question; the chat now waits through that. If an answer does finish after the note appears, coming back to the app or tab within half an hour fills it in. And on iOS the send button becomes ■ Stop while the AI answers, as the web's Stop button already did (AMB-1797) |
| 38 | 2026-10-06 | A document in an answer says which folder it's in, on iOS and the web, the way an item's card already did (AMB-1715) |
| 37 | 2026-10-05 | When the AI can't answer, the chat says why. If your Mac was offline for Desktop AI, or the chat refused the request (too many at once, the last question still running, a question too big for the model), iOS said the answer "was interrupted" and sent you to look for it in Q&A, where it never was; the web showed a generic error. Both now show the actual reason, such as "Your Mac isn't connected right now." (AMB-1766) |
| 36 | 2026-10-02 | An answer says "Reading the results…" while the AI reads what it looked up, on iOS and the web, instead of sitting still — most noticeable with Private AI, where that can take tens of seconds (AMB-1718) |
| 35 | 2026-09-29 | "Just discuss" means it for spreadsheets too. A spreadsheet attached in chat is no longer saved to Documents unless you chose Save as document or ask; the AI can still read every row and import them into your inventory for as long as the conversation lasts (until you trash it, or 30 days). Add to inventory on a spreadsheet now imports its rows (AMB-1608) |
| 34 | 2026-09-28 | Chat tells you when it saves an attachment to Documents — "Saved “albums.xlsx” to Documents" — on iOS and the web, and Documents shows the new file straight away; attaching the same spreadsheet again reuses the saved copy rather than making a duplicate (AMB-1595) |
| 33 | 2026-09-28 | A spreadsheet attached in chat is saved to Documents, whatever you choose. The AI used to read a "Just discuss" spreadsheet and then be unable to import it or read past its first rows, because it had no saved file to work from; now it does, on both surfaces (AMB-1590) |
| 32 | 2026-09-25 | Pick from myAI Context scrolls through a whole folder, on iOS and web. It loaded the first 200 documents or items and stopped without a word, so in a bigger folder the thing you wanted to attach could be missing from the list; it now loads a screen at a time as you scroll, to the end of the folder (AMB-1255) |
| 31 | 2026-09-25 | Reworded the Web note on voice: spoken replies are on the phone only for now, not a browser limitation — and a screen reader reads a web answer aloud regardless |
| 30 | 2026-09-22 | A long action, an image, or an approval no longer ends as "That one went quiet". The chat gave up on any reply that showed nothing for 90 seconds, even when the AI was writing out a long action, an image was generating, or the chat was waiting for your approval — and the answer then finished unseen. It now waits while the reply is working, and the "went quiet" note only says you weren't charged when the charge was actually undone (AMB-1279) |
| 29 | 2026-09-18 | A long answer streams for up to nine minutes, and a dropped connection no longer loses it. The reply window was five minutes and a longer turn simply went quiet on screen while the server finished it; now the window is nine, and if the connection still drops, the chat fills the answer in from your Q&A history on both iOS and web instead of leaving an empty bubble (AMB-1219) |
| 28 | 2026-09-18 | A long request no longer throws away its last action. When a reply runs past the time or step limit, the action it was about to take now runs before the turn stops, and the closing note says which limit was hit and whether that action ran or failed — it used to blame "tool steps" whatever the cause and promise a "continue" it could not keep |
| 27 | 2026-09-17 | Noted what happens from an AI agent (Claude Code, Claude Desktop): a large document is still held back, but the agent is told rather than shown a card, nothing waits, and nothing sticks between calls — with a link to the Panel of Experts page |
| 26 | 2026-09-15 | A held-back document now pauses the answer until you decide. Tapping Include it continues the same answer with the document in, instead of quietly failing while an answer without it arrived anyway; if you don't choose within about a minute it continues without |
| 25 | 2026-09-15 | Q&A search asks the server and reaches every saved conversation, with a completeness line under the box — iOS and web; web Q&A now loads more as you scroll |
| 24 | 2026-09-13 | Every control in the web app is now a real button: you can reach it with Tab, press it with Enter or Space, and a screen reader finds it when you ask for the page's buttons. They were named last release but not reachable — a mouse was the only way to press most of them |
| 23 | 2026-09-13 | Every icon button in the web app now announces what it is to a screen reader, and the sign-in form's fields say which is which — they used to announce "edit text, blank"; the Web section now also says that press-and-hold is iOS-only |
| 22 | 2026-09-13 | Press and hold any icon-only button in chat to see its name — it used to work only on the round buttons above the message box, so the gesture read as broken everywhere else |
| 21 | 2026-08-21 | Documents are no longer pulled into an answer on word overlap alone when meaning-based search is unavailable — the answer tells you search was unreliable instead of quietly using a document that merely shared some words |
| 20 | 2026-08-21 | The size at which a document gets held back now adapts to the AI model you have chosen, instead of a fixed figure that never triggered on the default model |
| 19 | 2026-08-20 | A big document is now held back and offered to you BEFORE it is used, instead of being added and billed first — with the page count and token cost shown up front, for every document type rather than just PDFs |
| 18 | 2026-08-20 | Choosing to drop a big document now sticks for the whole conversation — the note under the answer says what was applied instead of looking like nothing happened, and a chip above the message box shows the choice with an × to undo it |
| 17 | 2026-08-19 | The copy sheet now opens on Blocks — tap the paragraphs, bullets or code blocks you want and Copy selected; press-and-drag selection moved to a Free text tab beside it, so copying part of an answer no longer depends on the drag working |
| 16 | 2026-08-14 | Word, Excel and PowerPoint files can now be attached to chat directly and asked about — their text is extracted for you; an unreadable one says so instead of being answered as if it had been read |
| 15 | 2026-08-14 | Named the file types chat actually accepts (it used to say "or other documents", which read as though Word files worked); a file chat can't take now says so instead of disappearing |
| 13 | 2026-08-08 | The mic joined the button row above the message box (it used to vanish as soon as you typed); the model button now shows the price band as $–$$$$ instead of the band name |
| 12 | 2026-08-05 | "Pick from My Stuff" renamed Pick from myAI Context — My Stuff was never a real surface; the picker at Home now shows only Home's documents instead of every document in the library |
| 1 | 2026-03-01 | Initial guide |
| 11 | 2026-07-26 | Attachments now take ONE choice — Just discuss / Save as document / Add to inventory — and the folder picker shows only folders that can hold what you're saving; both surfaces |
| 11 | 2026-07-26 | Attaching a photo also works for items you already own — adds or replaces that item's picture |
| 10 | 2026-07-25 | Attach a photo and ask the AI to save it — the item keeps your photo as its image; see Inventory v10 |
