Chat with AI models on an Infinite Canvas79,27775v5.1.1 released 6d agoFrom $89## Image generation Nodes Introduces Image generation nodes. You can now generate images with nodes. You can also connect other images to an image generation node to provide references to the image generation model. Supports Nano banana, Gpt Image 1, and Ideogram, etc ## RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) Introduced RAG mode which let’s you deal with large files, and cases when there’s a lot of nodes connected to a chat node reaching the context limits of the selected model ## Search for Nodes on Canvas with AI + Keywords As canvases got bigger with many nodes, it was difficult to find your place or look up a node. Search modal can now help you search for nodes using a local keyword search, or also using Intelligent AI search ## Token summary You can now view the token count estimation of each node, the tokens incoming into a given node as context, and also the token estimation that you’d send to the AI ## Voice Input Use voice transcription to talk to the Nodes, and get your prompts transcribed ## Persona Prompts Library Save and reuse persona prompts (system prompts or like custom GPT) and assign them to your chat nodes so that the models can follow the instructions of the prompt ## Refactored Context Engine A completely refactored context engine. This is a step forward in making the app ready for upcoming updates, like MCP clients and tool use.

65,520162v1.2.0 released 3mo agoFree + from $20/moWould rate 4.9 if possible, but rounding up to 5 stars because this app truly excels compared to other AI coding tools. Why 5 Stars: Best-in-class AI coding assistance Huge improvements over competitors Actually works for real development Real Impact: I successfully built and published an actual app using this tool - that's game-changing for non-developers like me. Bottom Line: Yes, there's room for improvement, but this is already the top AI coding app available. The fact that ordinary people can create real apps with it says everything. Perfect for anyone wanting to turn ideas into actual apps!
