We believe Hedy was focusing too much on the current conversation when providing chat responses and wasn't providing enough new insights. We modified Hedy's chat responses to allow Hedy to pull in knowledge from outside of the current conversation in more scenarios to increase the value of its responses.

We updated our AI analysis model to provide more detailed summaries. In the future, we are looking to allow you to customize how verbose the summaries are.

We added a reminder about audio recording consent. Please respect your local laws when recording other conversation participants.

We now have an MCP server up and running that allows you to access your sessions, to-dos, and highlights from your other AI tools.

Here is the config specifically for Claude:

Thanks for everyone who chimed in on our Slack poll to select the new "Share" icon. This icon has now been implemented for share buttons across the app.

Note that the old "copy" icon still remains in place for buttons where content is copied directly to the device clipboard.

On mobile layouts we moved the action icons for to-do items to a submenu for better space utilization.

The Device ID is randomly generated on each device when Hedy is installed and is used to identify each device for Cloud Sync sessions. To address cases where multiple devices have the same Device ID (for example due to restoring a device from a backup), we now allow resetting the Device ID to a new ID.

As the options on the start session dialog increase, we moved the "Start Session" button above the drop downs for easier access.

You can now discard a session directly from the end session dialog. The session content will be deleted immediately and no further AI analysis will be performed.

Mac users now have the option to use a smaller speech recognition model that performs better on Inte chipset devices. This model will load by default on new Hedy installations on Intel chipset macs.

The models Hedy uses are heavily optimized for Apple GPUs, and in the MacOS app we step up the model size significantly in order to take advantage of the additional processing power that the system provides us. Older Macs with Intel chipsets need to fall back on CPU processing, which struggles with the larger models that we include in Hedy for MacOS.
