What's New:

The most notable change in this release is the new implementation for the AI Command feature.

AI Command now support AI Plugins. Here is a demo video where I use the Instant Command on a video in Finder:

New implementation. Previously, BoltAI uses the Accessibility C APIs to get the highlighted text on the active app. In this release, I've switched to a more modern APIs and it should be more robust.
More advanced settings. In this release, you can choose how BoltAI reads the highlighted text. Go to
Settings > Advanced > App Specific Settings
to see the default settings. If you're having troubles with an app, try to use a different strategy.

Accessibility: BoltAI would use the Accessibility API to fetch the highlighted text. This works best for native apps such as Apple Notes, Xcode or TextEdit...
Clipboard: BoltAI would emulate Copy event to get the content of the highlighted text. This works best for a web browser or web-based apps such as Discord, Slack, Notion...
Smart (default): BoltAI checks if the app is web-based or native and would use the proper strategy.

I've added more than 30 features in the last 3 month. With this release, I'm going to

increase the price soon

. If you're still on the fence, now is the best time to lock in the current price.

That's it for now 👋
