Built with @hai

@hai (github) has been helping us shape AskBox with their feedback. Here are the 13 releases we have launched thanks to them.

# January 30, 2025

Companion prompt just has a complete revamp 💫 We now have a dedicated panel where you can manage your companion's prompts, create new ones with guides, or choose from a library of curated prompts.

Thanks @hai for the suggestion from a long time ago, and @huy for taking part in our building of this most recently 🙇

# December 8, 2024

Line breaks are back in user messages 🪜 This was a minor but annoying bug for a while, sorry!

Thanks @huy, @chinh, and @hai for reporting the issue 🙇

# November 27, 2024

Bold texts are now, well, BOLD 💪 Previously it was Medium, which is not easy to differentiate with normal text.

Thanks @hai for suggesting the change 🙇

# October 20, 2024

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 🙇

# October 19, 2024

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 6, 2024

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 🙇

# October 5, 2024

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 🙇

# September 24, 2024

We brought back the colours of companions 😶 Recently, we ~~had a bug~~ let them go to the beach too much and their skins are burned. After we ~~fixed the bug~~ let them rest, they are back with their good old selves.

My apology to @hai and @huy who were most impacted by this 🙇

# August 8, 2024

You can now delete threads, permanently 🔥 Moreover, we added an option to quickly clear all unpinned threads.

This has been requested by @nhi, @hai, and @huy most recently, so thank you all!

# August 7, 2024

You can now pin threads 📌 Pinned threads are easy to find thank to their own tab in the sidebar. Pinned threads stay on your device forever. They will not be cleared in batch, either manually or automatically.

This has been requested by @hai and @chinh, so thank you!

# June 24, 2024

We added Text Size and Line Length settings 🖨️ This should make Ask Box even more responsive, adapting to your smaller or bigger screens.

Thanks @hai for the suggestion 🙇

# May 30, 2024

You can now Cmd K (or Ctrl K) from anywhere to start a new chat 🧼 You no longer need to focus on the ask box first. Even better, the ask box will be focused automatically for you to start a new chat right away.

We also support Cmd B and Cmd Shift B to toggle the home and settings panels, respectively. For our friends on Windows and Linux, they will be Ctrl B and Ctrl Shift B.

🙇 This is requested by @hai, @nhi, and @chinh, so thank you!
