We switched the new thread hot key to Ctrl I in Windows 🎹 This avoids conflict with most browsers' Ctrl K in Windows. In Mac, it should still be Command K.

Our thanks to @minh for reporting the issue, and also took part in our build discussion 🙇

We added Continue with Google 🔍 This should make it even easier to sign up for Ask Box. As a reminder, signed in users always have higher limits even in free tier, along with other benefits.

Our thanks to @hai for suggesting the feature 🙇

# October 6

We supported more Math expressions 🎨 Previously, we only support the dollar sign syntax, which is used by some AI models but not all. Now, we support the bracket syntax that the rest of them use!

Our thanks to @hai for reporting the issue 🙇

We re-designed our waiting icon ✨ Instead of a generic spinner, now you'll see a little of our unique branding.

# October 14

We added a browser tool 📚 Ask Box can now browse websites for latest, most accurate info.

# October 15

We fix an issue where some text are incorrectly recognised at math expressions 🐛 This was because we support the $...$ syntax for inline math. This is too easy to have false positive. Now we only support $$...$$ and \(...\) syntaxes.

Our thanks to @huy for reporting the issue timely 🙇

No more "Apply changes" 🫳 Changes to Companions are now applied immediately, letting you explore AI easier!

Our thanks to @hai and @my for suggesting the change 🙇

# October 20

Introducing Model Explorer 🚠 Instead of a plain dropdown, now there's a full gallery to explore all models, in a friendly, educational interface. It has a section for everyone, from first timer to explorer to experienced AI users. And boy, does it work beautifully on mobile.

Our thanks to @my and @hai for suggesting the feature 🙇
