• Custom keyboard shortcuts for Voice Input & Advanced Voice Mode
• Improved: Better Voice Input UI & error handling

What's new?

Grounding with Google Search

BoltAI now supports the Grounding with Google Search feature for Gemini Models. To enable it, open the plugin list and find the "Google Search (Gemini Only)".

Note that it might be more expensive than using the current Web Search plugins provided by BoltAI ($35 per 1K grounding request).

BoltAI doesn't support mode and dynamic_threshold settings in this release yet.

New realtime voices

Great news. You can now more realtime voices. It's also cheaper now as OpenAI applied prompt caching automatically.

Enjoy!

Better Voice Input UI

I've made a few of improvements to the Voice Input UI:

• Support custom keyboard shortcut
• Added the ability to cancel the Voice Input session
• Retry if the transcription fails

And that's it for now 👋
