It works well, but - lacks synchronisation - does not work with OpenWebUI API endpoint

Is there a way to import stuff from BoltAI to BoltAI 2? Why are both available?
Response from Developer

Sorry for the confusion, Ewald. You can import data from v1 following this guide: https://help.boltai.com/en/help/articles/1796434-how-to-import-data-from-boltai-v1-to-v2 I built BoltAI v2 from the ground up and unfortunately the data is not compatible with v1. So we need to offer both v1 and v2 on Setapp and will phase out v1 gradually. Thank you.

I’m impressed with BoltAI 2. It’s ambitious. There are a lot of features already there and many hinted at in the roadmap. Once the iOS version is released alongside cross-device sync, this will be a truly compelling package.

Great, if you want to avoid model/vendor lock-in. It's a chat organizer with some scaffolding around. Could steal some ideas from the big player and make it into a Vendor-Neutral-CoWork app.

All in all great, but can we get an update to use at least opus 4.8? Or how would I fix these settings locally? "thinking.type.enabled" is not supported for this model. Use "thinking.type.adaptive" and "output_config.effort" to control thinking behavior. UPDATE: It is still not working, this is quite disappointing. Opus-4.6 and .4.7

Hi PZ. I think I found the issue. Can you disable/reset the Thinking Budget option, and only use the new Thinking Effort when using Opus 4.8? Anthropic stops supporting the thinking budget option for Opus 4.8. I will enforce this in the app soon. Here is a quick screenshot on how to do it: https://cleanshot.com/share/wxG5fC1P Thanks for your patience.

Wonder why syncing is not enabled in the setapp version
Response from Developer

Sorry for the inconvenience, Bo Peng. I'm currently running into some technical issues with sync integration in Setapp and wasn't able to support it yet. I've been working hard to bring it to Setapp build. Please stay tuned. Thank you.

New to BoltAI 2, but appreciate that it seems overall faster, has better management of context and settings (Memory Tool, Chat Inspector) and it has cloud sync and MCP support. Setapp AI support could improve, though it just added gpt-5.5, ideal if it had other newer options or at least a little bit of competitors included (Claude & Google, perhaps).

Thanks for the feedback Kenji. I will add support for more models in Setapp soon.

Won’t connect to Grok. No customer support. Uninstalling.

Hey Eric. Sorry for the poor experience. May I ask where did you report the issue? I can’t seem to find your bug report on our bug tracking software, nor in the email support inbox. — Update: I can confirm I never received any support query from you. It's likely that your API key was either in correct, or you didn't top up enough credit. Happy to help, send me an email [email protected]. — Daniel

Looks good, but I can’t point a project at a folder, only individual files, which is tedious

Thanks for your feedback Chris. Folder synchronization is in my roadmap. I will release it soon.

Kept asking for accessibility permssions over and over and over while I was using a number of different applications but NOT BoltAI. On 1st run I deleted the universal shortcut and deliberately did not give it permissions. I can copy and paste back and forth when I need to, thanks. But it really wanted those permissions. It also asked for microphone permissions when I clicked "read aloud" to get it to read out a very short answer (single sentence, just wanted to hear what it sounded like). Why? It is going text-to-speech, so no need for microphone access. A related "Why?" is that the preferences are set to use the built in Apple Speech to Text engine ... why not use the built in Text to Speech as well? Either way, it doesn't need permission to listen to my microphone to speak. Fix the un-needed permissions grab and I'll try it again.

Sorry again for the frustrating first run, and thanks for calling it out. You were right that this was confusing. I looked into it, and it doesn’t appear that BoltAI was asking for permissions unnecessarily just to read text aloud. It was most likely a bad default and confusing setup around the AI Workflow feature. - Accessibility: you may have triggered the AI Workflow Palette instead of the Instant Chat Bar. It had a separate `Control + Space` shortcut that had to be disabled in Settings > Shortcuts. I’ve fixed this for new users. - Microphone: I can’t reproduce Read Aloud asking for mic permission. The speaker button should not need mic access. The mic button next to Send is Voice Input, and that does require mic / speech permission. - Read Aloud: you were right that the default provider was bad. It defaulted to OpenAI instead of Apple’s built-in speech. I’ve fixed that too. I wrote more here: https://go.boltai.com/permissions I'm happy to help. My email [email protected]

The concept is exactly the right approach, and there are a few small things that are still being developed and improved. But it works really well, keep up the good work - BoltAi ❤️

En general funciona muy bien, permite en un chat usar diferentes modelos y eso es muy positivo. Echo de menos la interfaz en Español, pero tampoco es un problema. Lo que más me ha gustado es que puedes mantener el flujo de trabajo y usar diferentes modelos sin estar cambiando de web en web, y poder tener todos los chats por temáticas, eso se agradece. Lo que no me ha gustado nada, es que las respuestas del chat no son en Streaming, primero las calcula y luego las suelta de golpe. Si activas el streaming aparece un error en todas las peticiones del chat, da igual el modelo, falla siempre al menos a mi. Si se puede corregir esto y eliminar algunos modelos que no funcionan 4o, entonces sería la APP definitiva. A nivel de consumo de Tokens, depende del modelo pero en general gastas mucho más que si contratas, por ejemplo, chatGPT en versión Plus. Es recomendable tener la cuenta Pro con 250 Token, que con los 10 gratis se queda muy corto y en horas te los consumes.

A big improvement over Bolt v1. I had Ollama issues previously but now all working. Also with LM Studio so plenty of flexibility for local LLMs. However, can’t seem to figure out why I add documents to projects and they seem to be completely ignored.

BoltAI is my favorite AI app. I can add or change services, but my structure stays the same. The app in version 1 helped me get things done instead of reading blog posts about the best prompt engineering. Version 2 builds on this strong foundation and adds a really useful instant chat bar and a polished UI. Updates are released almost every week. Thank you!
