BoltAI 2

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.

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]
