Attachments, audio imports, DeepSeek and a new user guide.

We've added image attachment support to chat conversations - simply drag and drop images or click the paperclip icon to include them as part of your message. This includes an improvement to excerpt attachments, enabling support for multiple excerpts simultaneously. Both image and excerpt attachments can be easily removed by clicking the 'x' icon that appears on hover.

We added support for the DeepSeek R1 reasoning model with expandable reasoning steps displayed in the chat message thread.

In addition to being able to record audio with Anara, you can now import audio files (mp3, wav). Simply follow the same import process you use for PDFs, images, and other file types.

And we released a comprehensive user guide with detailed documentation on how to use Anara and all its features, making it easier to discover and learn how to get the most out of the platform.

Improvements

• Added ‘Brainrot’ button for users visiting from our ‘brainrot’ generator app that we made for fun last week.
• Improved audio recording features with faster processing time, better reliability, quality, and user experience.
• Updated our pricing page to provide clearer guidance on plan features and inclusions.
• Redesigned chat input and chat message thread with improved text input, cleaner message threads, and better handling of long prompts.
• Made significant improvements to mobile experience including better onboarding flow, improved sidebar behavior, and fixed various UI issues for smoother mobile usage.
• Improved knowledge web and related sidebar with better performance, automatic background connection checks, and expanded support beyond just notes and documents to all file types in user's library.
• Moved settings storage from local to database, meaning that your settings now stay the same across all your devices and browsers.
• Improved group creation by auto-focusing the rename input field when creating a new group.
• The 'breakdown' quick action at the top of new chats now recognizes the type of file being viewed and tailors its analysis accordingly. For example, it provides different breakdowns for research papers versus lecture videos.
• Added ability to rename files from the top navigation bar.

Fixes

• Resolved an issue where system instructions marked with bracket symbols were sometimes included in chat responses.
• Fixed a bug where unwanted "thank you" messages appeared during silent periods in audio recordings.
• Fixed an issue with YouTube video imports getting stuck in an infinite loading state and improved video handling.
• Fixed loader flashing issues throughout the app and implemented a new animated logo loader that shows on refresh.
• Fixed an issue where the Library citation search in the actions menu wasn't loading properly, preventing you from citing content from yout library.
• Fixed an issue where chat would automatically scroll to the bottom on import, which was hiding the auto-summary at the top of the chat thread.
