What's New:

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

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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.
  1. Other improvements:
  • BoltAI supports custom input keyboard layout like Dvorak
  • You can cancel the current AI Command or AI Inline request

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 👋
