ICYMI: Now you can bulk select and bulk delete your past conversations.

Perplexity is working on 2 new assistants 👀👀👀

1. Finance Focus mode - will query financial data from Tako service (financial data provider) directly.
2. My Files 🔥

"My Files" mode seems to be a dedicated file search feature that potentially will be available to personal and team accounts.

Currently, you can query uploaded files already from the Upload context. In the future, you may be able to query from all previously uploaded documents (an assumption).

These focus modes are not yet available for public use.

Lol, Grok has an easter egg if you prompt it with a "wen agi" on its standalone version (doesn't work on X Grok).

OpenAI released Companion window support on ChatGPT for MacOS.

Now, chats from a quick access bar (opt + space) will open in a separate "companion" window instead of a main app by default.

According to the release notes:

There are new shortcuts for quickly pasting screenshots from the main desktop and the active window.

There is also a mention of "@ mentions" support but I never had it working, let's see if it will be enabled.

Bonus: "Improved performance when streaming chat responses." 🔥

ICYMI: Perplexity has a Bookmarks button 👀

There you can easily save your searches into a Bookmarks collection. If you do it for the first time, a new "Bookmarks" collection will be created 🔖

A new Anonymous GPT-4 based model seems to be better at writing a bit (responses are more humanised). But I had the same impression from Google’s Eureka (which I am still not sure if it was already released) 👀👀👀

ICYMI: you can spot it on lmsys arena in the battle mode 🤖

🚨 BREAKING: Mistral AI just launched "La Plateforme", a platform for building custom AI agents.

Agents can be created and deployed for free. The testing feature requires a pro subscription but you can achieve the same through a live chat as well.

If you never tried Mistral yet, you can check it here. The "TestingCatalog" Agent can reply to you with a "test" response (testing purpose only) 👀

P.S. It also seems that these agents might be for personal use only.

Perplexity is getting closer and closer to UGC 👀

A small but important change - now you can notice that loads of Perplexity pages on the Discover feed are no longer curated solely by the Perplexity team.

The same applies to the "Related Pages" you see at the bottom of a certain page.

Here is an example by Dailybits 🔥

In case you are missing Artefacts "Feature Preview" on Claude, it is no longer a "Preview Feature" but rather enabled by default now.

I don't have it as well 👀
