In version v1.26.0, we are excited to introduce a long-awaited new feature — the persistent assistant sidebar. This feature aims to enhance user access to frequently used assistants, making your reliable helpers easily accessible.
Feature Highlights
- Quick Switching: Supports quick switching between different assistants using keyboard shortcuts, making your workflow smoother.
- Space Optimization: Activating the sidebar automatically hides the conversation list, providing you with a larger conversation area.
- Intelligent Display: Automatically syncs pinned assistants to the sidebar, ensuring that important assistants are always within view.
How to Use
Currently, this feature is in the experimental stage and is disabled by default. To experience it, you can enable it by adding the environment variable FEATURE_FLAGS=+pin_list.
We have already enabled this feature in the Cloud version, and we welcome all users to try it out and provide feedback. You can share your experiences in GitHub Discussions to help us refine this feature further.
Design Philosophy
The core goal of this update is to optimize work efficiency. By effectively utilizing the sidebar space, we make frequently used assistants easily accessible while hiding the conversation list to expand the conversation area, providing users with a more focused dialogue experience.
We hope this new feature will significantly enhance your user experience. Welcome to upgrade to version v1.26.0 and start experiencing it!
In the latest version v1.28.0, we have launched the text format export feature for conversation content, now supporting exports in both Markdown and OpenAI format JSON.
The Markdown export feature meets users' needs for directly using conversation content in note-taking and document writing. You can easily save valuable conversation content and manage it across various note-taking applications for reuse.
Additionally, we support exporting conversations in JSON format that complies with OpenAI messages specifications. This format can be used directly for API debugging and serves as high-quality training data for models.
It is particularly noteworthy that we retain the original data of Tools Calling within the conversation, which is crucial for enhancing the model's tool invocation capabilities.
This update greatly expands the sharing and application scenarios for conversation content, and we hope these new features will enhance your user experience.
