Hi everyone. It’s Daniel again 👋
My goal has always been to make BoltAI the best AI client for Mac. Thanks to your feedback, I’ve made a lot of improvements to the BoltAI v2 app. Update to the latest version v2.0.10 (build 30) and let me know what you think.
Here are the most notable changes.
## Sub Folder
BoltAI now supports sub folder. Move and reorder folders with drag-and-drop, or use the context menu.
## Chat Inspector Pane
Similar to v1, the Chat Inspector Pane allows you to configure chat’s advanced settings.
In v2, I improved the UX to make the configuration profile more clear. By default the chat follows the global configuration you set in App Settings. When you customize the LLM parameters, for example, the chat switched to Chat Configuration profile and won’t be affected by the changes in the global configuration.
Within a project folder, you can switch between Folder Profile and Chat Profile.
In the Info tab, you can find the canonical deep link to the chat. Use this link to refer to the chat on your notes or other apps. When triggered, it would open the exact chat in a new chat companion window.
## Memory Tool
Memory Tool allows LLMs to remember helpful information between conversations, making its response more relevant and personalized.
Make sure you’re using a model with tool-use capability and enable the plugin in the Tools popover. When applicable, LLM would automatically use and update memories to improve the response.
You can also teach the model to remember something new by simply saying it. For example: “Remember that I’m an indie developer and would prefer a simple solution to engineering problems”.
You can manage the memories in Settings > Plugins > Memories.
## Web Fetch
Web Fetch Tool gives LLM the ability to read the content of a web page. It’s pretty straightforward: enable it in Tool popover and ask the model about a particular web page.
With the Web Fetch tool, you can use a local model while still accessing up-to-date content from the internet. This allows you to enjoy the benefits of current information without compromising your privacy.
Web Fetch tool is automatically enabled when using a search tool such as Brave Search.
## Other quality-of-life improvements:
*
Recent Dictations
. Find your recent dictations in the app menubar. Useful when auto-paste fails.*
New Developer Settings
. Allow resetting local database and re-sync everything. *
Instant Chat Bar
auto-attaches clipboard snippets or the current selection (requires Accessibility permission)*
Reply-finished notifications
let BoltAI alert you as soon as a background response wraps up; toggle this in Settings → General.*
Set AI Service Order
. Change the order of configured AI Services in the service selection popover. *
Project Default Plugins
. You can configure the default plugin for a project now.* Other bug fixes and improvements.
## And that’s it for this week
I’m going to make BoltAI v2 the best AI chat app for Mac. And I need your help to shape the future of it.
Please keep the feedback coming 🙏
