BoltAI 2.2.2

New
  • Workflow preview parity. Preview now respects your agent settings—provider, model, system instruction, temperature, token limits, penalties, context policy, and tool selection—so the inline preview matches the final send.
  • Smarter selection capture. Hotkeys and the palette use a new PID-targeted copy helper that activates the frontmost app, restores your clipboard, and reduces empty-selection glitches.
  • Workflow input fidelity. App context and pre-captured selection/clipboard are handed through more consistently when running workflows or launching previews, tightening “what you see is what you send.”
  • Proxy-safe search tools. Brave Search and Google PSE tools now use a secure connection.
November 27th, 2025

BoltAI 2.2.1

New
  • Workflow hotkeys. Assign global shortcuts to individual workflows and trigger them from anywhere; we pre-capture selection/clipboard so runs stay reliable without polluting your pasteboard.
  • Inline workflow AI output. Workflows can now generate answers directly using your configured provider/agent before applying output actions, with smarter provider/model resolution and safer selection capture; agent-specific settings are now respected.
  • Workflow Palette polish. New headless mode for “no preview” workflows, Ctrl+N/Ctrl+P navigation, direct preview launch for a chosen workflow, and clearer progress overlay while runs complete.
  • Shortcut defaults & onboarding tweaks. Updated defaults (Option+Space to toggle the app, Control+Space for the Workflow Palette), better support for alternate keyboard layouts (Dvorak, etc.), plus small onboarding refinements and OAuth reliability improvements.
  • Temporary chat promotion. You can now convert a temporary chat into a normal, synced conversation from the Conversation menu.
  • MCP connectors logging. Added richer logging around MCP/OAuth flows for easier troubleshooting.
