Ask Octarine

  • Ask Octarine now features two distinct modes:

    • Ask:
      • Works as before by allowing you to chat about your notes.
      • Answers include explicit text from the referenced notes with wikilink references.
    • Create:
      • Helps you leverage your notes and Octarine to generate additional notes, draft emails, or create templates.
      • Instead of providing a direct answer, responses offer actionable steps based on attached references.
      • The Create mode has three possible outcomes:
        • Open in Email – when the request is recognized as an email.
        • Create template – when a reusable template is needed.
        • Create note – for summaries, reviews, and more.
  • The chat window design has been updated for a more recognizably chat-like experience:

    • User messages now appear as bubbles on the right while responses retain their previous format.
    • References and relevant notes are linked to the response rather than the query.
    • The message box now includes a reference selector and date range selectors at the bottom. Instead of listing every reference, a button shows the label “+ x references”.
      • Any selected folders or note references are moved to the top of the list.
  • Additional improvements:

    • Responses can now be retried.
    • The copy actions have been moved out of a dropdown so that they are always visible.

Writing Assistant

Context Changes in Writing Assistant

  • The Writing Assistant now displays a "Context Changed" indicator when context selections or files change within the same chat. This ensures that any previous irrelevant responses are discarded to maintain accuracy.
  • Quick actions for responses now include both retry and delete.
  • Selected text now displays as "x ch" (where x is the number of characters) instead of the full "x characters".
  • OpenAI API responses have been improved for a better user experience.

Folder Customisation

  • Folders can now be pinned to stay at the top.
  • Each folder supports its own sorting method, independent of the workspace sorting method.
  • Icons and colors can be assigned to folders for better categorization.
  • All folder settings are stored in a config.json file located within the particular folder.

Available only to Pro License users.

Improvements

  • Pinned notes and folders now appear in a separate view that spans across Notes, Daily Desk, and Templates. A pin toggle in the tree headers allows you to quickly switch between pinned items and your current view.
  • Search performance has been enhanced for faster results.
  • The CMD/Ctrl + K command bar features a refined design:
    • Rows are smaller in height.
    • Note navigation follows the same design used throughout the rest of the app.
    • The "recently viewed" list is limited to 10 items, and now displays an icon instead of the text “recently viewed”.
  • The quick action designs for both Writing Assistant and Ask Octarine have been updated for clarity.

Fixes

  • Resolved an issue where creating a new folder did not update its timestamp in the local database, which previously caused sorting issues until a refresh was done.
  • Fixed a bug where auto title generation would fail for both Ask Octarine and Writing Assistant when using Ollama.
  • Addressed a problem where clicking outside would not discard the rename operation initiated through the file tree context menu.
  • Fixed an issue where Perplexity AI setup would fail.

Changes

  • The Graph feature has been relocated from the sidebar to the Global breadcrumb as an icon.
  • Reduced the size of H1, H2 and H3 by 4px each.
