Changelog

A public timeline of important AskAny.ai product, desktop, privacy, security, and workflow updates.

August 2026 Security & privacy

Security, privacy, and BYOK improvements

  • Reworked the Privacy Policy into clearer sections covering account data, prompts, files, provider routing, retention, and user rights.
  • Improved the Security Center with clearer explanations of encryption, access controls, deletion, provider routing, and model handling.
  • Improved documentation for service providers, model routing, BYOK, and how submitted context is handled.
  • Made BYOK available to Pro and Max users; supported personal-key requests are billed by the provider and do not use AskAny credits.
  • Refreshed the pricing section to make Starter, Pro, Max, and one-time power-ups easier to compare at a glance.
Spring 2026 Website

Comparison pages rebuilt around desktop workflow

  • Added clearer comparison pages for Raycast AI, BoltAI, and Kerlig.
  • Moved comparisons toward checkbox-style grids so users can understand the differences faster.
  • Emphasized Windows and Mac availability, selected-file context, replace-in-place actions, and hosted multi-model access.
Q1 2026 Demo

Public demo video and homepage workflow

  • Published a product demo showing the floating widget, selected context, and AI actions inside existing workflows.
  • Refined the homepage around the core loop: select text or files, click AskAny, get the answer, and continue working.
  • Improved the model picker and context examples so new users can understand the product before signing up.
Late 2025 Mac

Mac desktop app released

  • Released the AskAny.ai desktop app for macOS, bringing the floating widget workflow to Mac users.
  • Added Mac-specific shortcut handling and refined the always-on-top assistant behavior.
  • Improved selected-text workflows for writing, summarizing, translating, and quick chat.
Mid 2025 Windows

Windows desktop app launched

  • Released the AskAny.ai Windows desktop app with the floating widget workflow.
