This is a post-release to 1.7.1, which brings a hot-fix and a new option for the Smart Panel.

Features

• If you don't like streaming animation, or experience a performance bottleneck, you can disable streaming animation completely under the Smart Panel > Visual Features > Streaming animation.

Fixes

• Fixed action Grammar mode not activating correctly. In addition, you can now use phrases like "fix grammar/fix spelling" in custom prompts – and it will trigger grammar highlights display.

Compatibility

• Requires macOS 14.2 or later.

This release adds a major new feature, Memory (RAG), and continues a series of stability fixes and improvements.

Features

• Memory (RAG), dynamic by default. Fluent automatically uses relevant memories in your requests when needed. Enable Memory via Integrations > Memory, then create memory groups, add files, and use dynamic notes. Keep memory groups lean and domain-focused, for example:
  • Create a MyProfile group for your personal details.
  • Create a MyStyle group for examples of your general writing.
  • Create a MySlackMessages group for examples of your professional communication.
• Force AI to use specific Memory groups directly in the Smart Panel by typing @ and a group name (partial names work).
• Use Memory groups in custom actions as variables with the format {{ @Name }}.
• Search all actions by typing / in the Smart Panel.
• New “Grammar mode” for actions to show differences between the selected and resulting texts.
• PopClip integration. Install the extension snippet from Settings > Features > PopClip and access the Smart Panel or any favorite action from PopClip.
• Perplexity integration finally landed. It will improve over time with citations and sources rendered (this is also planned for the native Web Search integration).

Improvements

• Integration tools workflow is now Concise by default. You can switch it to Verbose in Settings > Smart Panel > Streaming. In Concise mode, all tool calls are grouped into one top badge, and AI thinking is continuously refreshed until the final result.
• Execute favorite actions with CMD+1..8 when the Smart Panel is open.
• Image creation and editing with Nano Banana Pro via native Google integration.
• Actions with Auto insert enabled now show loading indicators with the action icon and title.
• New Smart Panel shortcuts: CMD+ENTER to insert the result into the active app, and CMD+C to copy it (when nothing is selected in the Smart Panel).
• More file formats are now supported in attachments, in particular: doc(x), xls(x), rtf, odt, webarchive, html, txt, md and all plain-text files.
• Scheduled action notifications now include “Completed” or “Failed” status in the notification title.
• Significantly improved real-time grammar correction rendering performance.
• When too many tabs are open, extra tabs are hidden, and the Smart Panel shows clickable badges with the number of tabs in each direction.
• Improved OpenRouter and Custom Providers model compatibility, reducing errors and empty or corrupted results.
• Added shortcut hints to selected buttons in the Smart Panel.
• Refined default approval states for built-in integration tools.

Fixes

• Fixed a Tahoe 26.2 bug that caused the Global Model menu (menu bar) to disappear when hovering over models in the list.
• Fixed a rare crash when changing app context using the Smart Panel menu.
• Fixed an OpenRouter issue that caused empty or error responses on specific models.
• Fixed an MCP tools issue that caused some models to return an error when using certain integrations.
• Fixed a bug that prevented correct insert or copy from subsequently opened history entries.
• Fixed random incorrect ordering of tool calls in grouped badges.
• Fixed a bug that sometimes prevented Fluent from gathering browser tab context when using actions with Auto Insert enabled.
• Fixed a bug that prevented custom provider settings from persisting in some cases.

Removals

• Removed the “Inside prompt area” option for favorites position due to inconsistent UX. Favorites now use the single default top position. Future updates may add an option to place favorites under the prompt field based on user feedback.

This release brings the new Straico integration, as well as multiple bug fixes and improvements.

• Two new options under Settings > Integrations > Options:
  • Lock automatically attached context. This allows you to "lock" your context on Smart Panel open, even if you switch applications or tabs.
