When transcripts from several mics are merged, two people's lines no longer run together into one sentence.

[Reduce noise] and [Enhance voice] in [Adjust] > [Audio] clean up a clip's sound and put the cleaned version on its own track. Reduce noise is free, and Enhance voice shows its credit cost before it runs.

Right-click the timeline and choose [Close all gaps] to remove stretches of time that are empty on every track.

[Audio fade in] and [Audio fade out] are on the [Sounds] tab in [Effects]. Click one, or drag it onto a clip.

Two new caption looks: [Dynamic text], and [My background image], which puts your captions over your own artwork.

With [Max length per line] on, captions break at natural pauses instead of mid-phrase, and you set the limit with a slider.

Double-click a caption or graphic in the preview to edit its text right there.

Clip highlights are now called [Video templates], grouped by kind.

Drag from empty space on the timeline to draw a selection box.

Fonts you install while Selects is open show up without a restart.

If an export fails because a source file is missing, the message names the file and points you to [Locate] on the timeline.

Premiere handoffs of Sony camera footage at 29.97 or 59.94 fps now carry the correct timecode.

Clips that used to disappear after a sync now stay on the timeline, on a track below where sync placed them.

The preview now shows timecode with frames, matching your timeline's frame rate (drop-frame at 29.97 and 59.94 fps), and the ruler lines up with it.

The playhead moves smoothly during playback.

Press Option+Up or Option+Down (Alt on Windows) to move selected clips one track up or down.

Captions, plain text and shapes can be stretched past their original length at either end.

On a synced timeline, set each camera's [Position] and [Opacity] in the [Adjust] tab, and every Draft uses that framing whenever it shows that camera.

In a Draft, you can resize or move a camera for just one section without changing the synced timeline. For example, zoom the V3 camera to 200% for a single moment. Select the clip and change it in the [Adjust] tab.

The multicam grid in the preview numbers every camera, and [Hide empty tracks] keeps the grid to cameras with footage.

[Add to current timeline] puts audio on an audio track at the playhead instead of the end of Main.

The generation apps are now called [AI video], [AI audio] and [AI image], and their model picker lists many more models, with search.

The [Apps] panel has a [Category] filter, and [Explore] has a new [Custom apps] shelf.

Apps you installed from [Explore] can update in one click: [Check for updates] in the app's menu, then [Update]. Update to the latest version to get this.

Click anywhere in the chat panel, then press Cmd+F (Ctrl+F on Windows) to find any word in the conversation. Press Enter to jump between matches.

Chat no longer quotes prices. The confirmation card shows what a step costs before it runs.

Before exporting, chat shows you the finished Draft and asks whether to export now or adjust it first.

When chat builds a vlog, it keeps moments in the order you filmed them and trims shaky footage. If it rebuilds a Draft, the old one is marked "(superseded)" so you don't export the wrong one.

If a reply is interrupted after chat already did some work, click [Continue] to pick up where it stopped.

Speaker names in chat match the Transcript panel, and camera numbers match the V numbers on your timeline.

Chat no longer gets stuck on "working" after you send a quick follow-up message.

Rendered frames no longer come out with fonts missing.

Selects no longer leaves large unused render files on your disk.

On a synced timeline, [Sync tools] walks you through [Analyze media], [Sync timeline], [Mute noisy tracks], and [Update data]. Speaker settings now live in [Sync tools] instead of a Speakers button on the timeline.

Home has new quick buttons under the chat box for shorts, explainers, longform videos, and ads. Pick a card and Selects writes a ready-to-edit request into the box, with blanks for you to fill in.

You can start editing the transcript, ask chat for edits, and apply templates before analysis has fully finished.

After you add media, Selects asks right away whether to analyze it, with the new files already checked.

You can now re-analyze a file that has already been analyzed with [Re-analyze media]. It replaces the old transcript, and if you cancel, the previous analysis stays.

Missing files are now marked right where they are: in the project panel, in the preview, and on each camera, with a button to relink them.

On a synced timeline, two microphones that pick up each other's voices no longer show up as two speakers for one person.

On Windows, the import window lists your media files again instead of only folders.

A new timeline now takes its frame rate and frame size from the footage you start it with. If you drop different footage into an empty timeline, choose [Match source] or [Keep current settings].

Clip speed now goes from 1% to 10,000%. Audio keeps its pitch between 25% and 1,000%. Update to the latest version to get this.

On a synced timeline, dragging every clip in a row now moves the whole row, with its name and mute, solo, and visibility settings.

Preview audio no longer glitches or goes silent at the start of some clips or after you jump to a new spot, and native preview now supports Radeon graphics on Windows.

You can send a message while chat is still replying. It waits under [Waiting to send] until the reply ends, stays there if you stop the reply, and you can click [Send now] to send it early. Update to the latest version to get this.

[Permissions] in the model menu lets you choose how often chat checks with you: [Ask], [Auto], or [Bypass].

Chat asks fewer setup questions and carries your edit request through, telling you the choices it made in its report. It still asks before anything that spends credits.

When chat wants to generate several clips or images, you review them all on one card, where you can change each model and prompt before approving.

[AI video] in the chat box's + menu now adds a line to your next message asking chat to use AI video generation.

Chat's replies and progress notes now stay in your language.

The ChatGPT model list now shows only the models your ChatGPT plan can use, and a model your plan doesn't include gets a clear message instead of a generic error.

Chat on a Claude subscription keeps working when you come back to a conversation the next day, without restarting Selects.

Chat no longer jumps you to another project while it works there, and syncs it started keep running when you leave the project.

When chat syncs your footage, it is less likely to skip clips with wrong dates or short takes, and it tells you why any clip was left out.

Chat's previews of edits with full-frame cutaways render much faster, so building a first cut no longer stops partway.

Long replies no longer make Selects freeze or stop responding, especially on Windows.

Avid Media Composer is now a handoff destination alongside Premiere, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve. Open [Handoff to] and pick [Avid Media Composer].

[Export transcript] can include your transcript's translation. Check [Include translation] and each line's translation appears under the original.

On Windows, fonts show and can be searched by their localized names. Update to the latest version to get this.

[Update & restart] downloads and installs the newest version and shows its progress as it goes.

Fixed freezes some people saw after a recent update.

The analysis window has a [Select all] checkbox above the file list.

SVG, animated WebP, and APNG files now import and play back. Update to the latest version to get this.

Uploads for analysis on a slow connection now keep going as long as data is moving, instead of failing after about 10 minutes.

[Import synced timeline] now reuses media that's already in your project even when its file path is written slightly differently, so its analysis is kept instead of redone.

Projects that Claude Desktop or another AI agent creates through the Selects MCP now show up on your projects screen right away, without restarting.

Edits on a synced timeline save right away while the transcript updates in the background, and coming back to a timeline shows its transcript instantly.

In [Clip highlights], [Auto select] now offers to analyze the files it would miss, waits for the analysis, and tells you when your clips are ready.

Caption timing no longer shifts when you change a Draft's frame rate, and caption SRT files use exact timestamps.

MP3 audio sounds right straight after you jump to a new spot, changing volume during playback no longer jumps the audio back, and audio on Windows recovers after a device hiccup. Update to the latest version to get this.

Dragging a clip onto a new lane and back on a synced timeline no longer leaves an empty lane behind.

The scroll and zoom bar under the timeline now works in a detached timeline window.

Clips no longer get stuck in constrained dragging when a system shortcut takes over the Shift key.

When chat asks you to approve a plan, it now shows the plan in its message first, so you never approve something you can't see.

If you've used up your ChatGPT plan's limit, chat now says so and suggests switching models or waiting for the reset, instead of asking you to try again. Update to the latest version to get this.

You can attach up to 50 images to one chat message.

An expired Claude sign-in now shows as disconnected everywhere in Selects, instead of offering a retry that can't work.

Images chat creates for you are now saved to your Downloads folder and added to your project. Update to the latest version to get this.

Choose [Preview] in [View mode] to focus on your video while chat stays open.

Drag the boundary between track rows in a synced timeline's label column to resize a single row. Double-click it to reset.

Deleting, moving, or shortening the last B-roll or audio clip now shortens your Draft instead of leaving an empty tail.

Detached timeline and panel windows keep playing when the main window is minimized. Update to the latest version to get this.

If your Claude connection expires, the error message now has a [Reconnect Claude] button.

A chat no longer gets stuck on an error saying it could not complete the request after Selects closes in the middle of a reply.

Exports now check your free disk space first and tell you how much you need, instead of failing partway through.

Several exports in a row now collect in one [Video is ready] window instead of opening a new window for each file.

Audio tracks you assign yourself now play and reach your editing software, even if Selects didn't detect them automatically.

Exported audio no longer picks up a long stretch of silence at the end.

Projects with zero-length transcript captions now export to your editing software instead of failing.

Select files in the project panel and right-click to analyze just those files.

Search the project panel by name with [Search project], or use [Find moments] to find a moment by what's on screen.

Right-click a media file in the project panel and choose [Reveal in Finder] ([Show in File Explorer] on Windows) to see where it lives.

Select several footage clips on the timeline, right-click, and choose [Sync] to create a synced timeline from them.

On a synced timeline, turn on [Solo in preview] in a camera track's header to see only that camera in the preview.

Starting a project from the [New timeline] button or by asking chat now matches your footage's frame rate and shows a cover image, and projects chat creates show up properly on your projects screen.

Audio tracks in synced timelines keep their order and speaker assignments when you resync or rebuild the timeline.

Deleting or cutting every clip from a synced timeline's track no longer removes the track. To clean up when you're ready, right-click any clip on the synced timeline and choose [Remove empty tracks].

Empty files, like the blank audio files some recorders leave behind, are now skipped at import instead of stopping your project from being created.

Right-click a synced timeline's tab and choose [Duplicate] to try a different multicam edit without syncing again, with its transcript and speakers carried over.

Trimming is more predictable: both edges of a clip drag the same way, the playhead stays on the edit point after a ripple trim, and clips dragged sideways stay on their lane.

Transcripts load again for Drafts that stopped showing one after certain cuts.

Cmd+W (Ctrl+W on Windows) now closes just the current timeline tab instead of the whole app.

Select clips on the timeline, right-click, and choose [Mention in chat] to drop them straight into your chat message.

If a chat request fails, click [Retry] in the error message to send it again without retyping it.

The model picker adds Claude Opus 5.5 for Claude subscriptions, and GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna for ChatGPT subscriptions. Update to the latest version to see them.

Out of chat credits? Chat now tells you plainly, and if you're eligible for a free trial, you can claim your free credits right from the message and keep going.

Connected subscriptions work more reliably: Claude subscription requests are no longer turned away as out of date, ChatGPT subscriptions now start on Windows, and GPT-6 Astra works with [Max] reasoning effort.

Chat is steadier. It picks up where it left off when you switch projects and keeps your unsent message, no longer says your sign-in expired after your computer sleeps, [Stop] now actually cancels a running command, and long or very large chats open and switch models without getting stuck.

[Export] now comes first in the title bar and opens a menu with your export and [Handoff to] options. Right-click it to choose your main editing app, or [Hide] the handoff shortcut.

On Windows, a new [Application menu] button at the top left of the title bar opens the app menu. Update to the latest version to see it.

If Selects ever crashes, you can send us your logs straight from the error screen with [Send logs].

Exported videos look right: portrait videos keep their full resolution, videos no longer end with a blank tail, and colors no longer look washed out in other players.

Handing off to Premiere, Final Cut Pro, or DaVinci Resolve no longer adds empty chapter markers for clips that weren't analyzed.

On macOS, updates now install reliably instead of failing with "App Still Running". Selects shows [Preparing the update] while macOS finishes.

There is no longer a limit on how much footage a project can hold in total. Each individual file can still be up to 10 hours.

Starting analysis now shows the estimated credit cost first, then one combined progress bar and a single completion notice for the whole batch. Projects with no name yet get one automatically once analysis finishes.

You can now add still images to a project and place them on the timeline. Images cannot be analyzed yet, so they carry no transcript or analysis of their own.

A new [Right-to-left transcript] option in transcript preferences flips the transcript, its navigation, and its selection to read right-to-left.

Selecting a clip inside a synced timeline now shows that file's transcript in the transcript panel.

Very large transcripts, hundreds of thousands of words, can now be opened, scrolled, and edited without crashing.

An analysis that fails from a server timeout now retries automatically instead of just failing.

Importing a project you already have is now blocked with a clear message, instead of silently creating a duplicate that loses its analysis.

AI-assisted edits are more precise. Removing a word or phrase no longer expands the cut or gets rejected just because it would leave an isolated pause behind.

Timeline markers can now carry notes. Double-click or right-click a marker to add one, and hover to read it.

The keyboard shortcuts list can now be searched by action name or key.

Synced timelines are fully editable: cut, trim, and rearrange clips directly on them.

Preview frame size now includes 4K and a custom width and height option.

Chat now supports attaching more than one file at a time.

You can rename media files, drafts, folders, synced timelines, chats, and project titles the same way everywhere: click to edit, Enter to confirm, Escape to cancel. The Project panel also gained a sortable column for duration, date added, size, or kind.

Clicking a chapter or subtopic band no longer selects the clips underneath it or moves the playhead.

Starting a project by dropping or picking media on the home screen no longer also creates an extra, default-named draft.

A valid Claude subscription connection could be wrongly rejected as running an outdated client, and chat now names that reason instead of showing a generic "connection lost" error.

The multicam expand/collapse view now stays the same across tabs and sessions instead of resetting every time you switch.

Dragging files from Finder onto the timeline now works even when the Project panel is collapsed.

A failed export caused by missing source media now names the file and points you to the timeline's Locate button.

After you export a video, Selects asks how it went, the same rating prompt handoff already shows. It appears once per batch rather than once per file.

Exporting on Windows with a frame-rate conversion now works and produces standard video and audio output.

Video exports are stereo again, after a bug briefly made them mono, and exporting a fully empty timeline is now blocked with a clear message instead of failing partway through.

Leftover empty gaps at the end of B-roll or audio tracks after a cut, which could add extra seconds of black to an export, are now trimmed.

Windows updates are more reliable. They wait for Selects to fully close before replacing files, repair Start Menu, Desktop, and taskbar shortcuts, and automatically restore any AI files that go missing or get corrupted after an update.

Very large project archives, 2 GB and up, can now be imported successfully. A damaged archive now fails clearly instead of leaving partial files behind.

The source panel has a third view that lists every file flat, with the folder rows dropped, so footage spread across a lot of folders takes one look instead of several expands. Open [Flat view] in the source panel.

A caption you split now stays lined up with the transcript when you go on to edit it, instead of drifting out of sync.

Graphics like title cards were stuck at whatever length they were placed at, with no way to trim or extend them. You can now drag their edges like any other clip.

[Compare with source] stays reachable while a source file is in view, instead of dropping out of reach just when you want it.

Exporting at 4K is noticeably faster.

Rating a handoff one star now sends your app logs along with the rating, so we can see what actually went wrong without asking you to write it up. The team reads every one of these.

Media sampling and keyframe extraction no longer look frozen under memory pressure. At least one worker keeps making progress, and a brief loss of memory telemetry no longer cancels your analysis.

Ask chat to check for shaky or blurry shots and it runs a fresh scan if none exist yet, and re-running analysis no longer erases bad-shot results you already have.

Selects no longer drops a second speaker when two people share one detected voice in a multicam project. Both keep their name and profile now.

Some HEVC footage that previously failed to decode now plays back correctly.

Editing a transcript word no longer drops its punctuation when the replacement text is unchanged.

Thumbnails keep their original aspect ratio instead of stretching to a fixed width.

Option prompts now have step-by-step navigation, a Skip button, a Recommended marker on the first choice, and hover descriptions.

Sequence loading is more reliable when multiple parts of the app request the same project at once. A recent edit is no longer silently reverted by a slow background load, and a deleted sequence no longer reappears.

Multicam lanes now show a camera's real coverage on the timeline, so cutting near a sync offset no longer makes it look like footage was deleted.

Preview playback starts faster after a seek, stalls less on large or 4K sources, and no longer shows a stale frame after certain edits.

Captions, titles, and stickers on the timeline can now be trimmed longer, up to the end of the draft beneath them.

Pressing a trim handle no longer clears your clip selection.

Transcript-based edit requests now work on older or partially analyzed projects instead of failing with a metadata error.

A disabled clip's name is easier to read now instead of fading into the clip.

A failed save now tells you plainly to undo your last edit and try again, instead of showing a technical error code.

Chat replies can include a clickable timestamp that jumps you straight to that frame in your draft.

Imported Premiere label colors are now carried onto clips and survive a full re-sync.

Rename a chat from the chat list's menu, and undo and redo (Cmd/Ctrl+Z, Shift+Z) now work in the chat composer.

Drag draft tabs to reorder them.

Camera and speaker keyboard shortcuts (camera select, cut to camera, speaker change) can now be rebound to keys of your choosing. Open [Keyboard shortcuts] to change them.

Turn on [Show subtopic clips] in the timeline's Preferences to see subtopic breaks as separate clips.

When chat delegates part of a request to a helper task, it now shows as a quiet one-line row instead of cluttering the conversation.

Clicking a draft tab now reliably switches to that draft instead of occasionally jumping back to the first tab while it's still loading.

Timeline edits (razor, delete, enable/disable clip, camera angle) now appear instantly and roll back visibly if saving fails, and Undo/Redo waits for edits in progress instead of racing them.

Timeline scrubbing feels smoother on large drafts, and filmstrip thumbnails and waveforms stay stable through razor, trim, and zoom.

Preview no longer flashes a blank frame when editing the current draft, and HDR footage in preview matches the exported look more closely.

Agent chat now collapses finished progress and tool calls into a single [Worked] row above the final answer, so long responses read cleaner.

Exports from projects with unusual frame rates (like 16.5 fps) no longer drift out of sync. Affected existing projects are corrected automatically the next time you open them.

Exported SRT transcripts now show correct subtitle timestamps at second boundaries, especially for NTSC frame rates (23.976, 29.97, 59.94 fps).

A DaVinci Resolve handoff now shows the same completion dialog as other handoffs, with your saved path, instead of a separate import guide.

The Mac window bar has a cleaner look: the title strip is gone, the navbar sits at the top and doubles as the drag handle, and a Home icon replaces the back arrow. Reset your zoom anytime with [Actual Size] (Cmd+0).

On Mac, the bug-report recording "Stop" and screenshot buttons, and the Intercom banner's close button, are now actually clickable.

An import that gets blocked now tells you which clips are the problem, which track each one sits on, and how much shorter it is than its source, so you can go fix those clips instead of guessing at a count.

Hover any file in the Prep file tree for [View topics] and [Add to timeline]. [Add to timeline] drops that file straight onto the end of your open draft, which saves a trip through the menus when you are assembling by hand.

Analyzing footage that lives on an external drive or a NAS is much faster, because Selects now reads each file in a single pass instead of jumping around it.

Transcripts, captions, SRT and TXT exports, and copied text now come out punctuated and sentence-cased, so what you paste elsewhere reads like written text. Search matches what you see too, including a word typed as "Hello,".

Dragging clips onto a Prep timeline stacks them vertically by default, which is what you want for multicam. Hold Option to lay them side by side instead.

Footage in codecs your browser cannot handle, including some HEVC and AV1 files, now falls back to native decoding and plays normally instead of being written off as unplayable.

Relinking no longer cares about extension case, so a project shot as interview.MP4 reconnects to interview.mp4.

Removing media from a project no longer deletes the file and its analysis from disk. It only drops the project's reference, and undo puts it back, so a mistaken delete is no longer permanent.

Multicam sync is steadier on chaptered GoPro and DJI footage, and syncing now works on Windows when your file paths contain non-English characters.

When a sync fails because the audio could not be sampled, it now says so, instead of telling you the clips have no audio and sending you off to check the wrong thing.

Imported timeline XML keeps your video track order, so V1, V2, and V3 arrive stacked the way they were in your editor rather than upside down.

You can switch a clip off instead of deleting it. A disabled clip plays as black and silent in the preview and in your export, and a clip on a lower track shows through, so you can try a cut without losing the material. Right-click a clip and choose [Disable clip], or use the shortcut from your editing tool preset.

Selects tells you when the agent needs you. If it is running in the background and the agent asks something or finishes, a desktop notification shows the actual question or answer, and clicking it drops you back into that chat, so you can leave a long job running and go do something else.

Undo and redo now behave as single, predictable steps across Prep and the timeline, covering the file tree, folders, syncing, timeline imports, drafts, and names and terms. One action, one undo.

Your chat history now shows conversations from both agent generations in one newest-first list, and reopening an older one continues it on the agent that started it, so nothing you asked for last month is stranded.

A new draft takes the frame size and sample rate of the first clip you place on it. Frame rate still follows the project.

[Cut filler words] and [Restore filler words] now run through chat, sending your chosen categories and pacing as a request rather than applying an edit on the spot, so you can see what it plans to do.

Chat shows a retry status while a reply is being retried, so a slow response no longer looks like a hang, and agent errors now carry a short code you can quote to us.

The tool panel lists every tool while you are looking at analyzed footage, so you can see what exists, and asks you to pick a draft when a tool needs one.

Smaller touches: the playback time is centered in the video toolbar, [Compare with source] is now an icon toggle, draft clips show the media file behind them, and the timeline ruler draws finer ticks between labeled times.

Dragging a side panel shut no longer crashes the timeline, and the panels that remain keep the widths you set instead of snapping back to defaults.

Switching view modes no longer kills a conversation the agent is in the middle of, so you can rearrange the screen while it works.

Filmstrip thumbnails now come from the stretch of clip they actually cover, so you get fewer wrong or black frames when you zoom out.

B-roll overlays are silent in the preview, matching what you get in the exported file, so what you hear while editing is what you ship.

[Check names and terms] now rewrites transcript text only and leaves your chapter and subchapter titles alone.

The playhead no longer jumps back to an earlier spot when the same source is used more than once.

The trial dialog no longer reappears every time you create a project.

Audio no longer runs through pitch correction at normal speed, and AAC tracks missing a piece of metadata now decode.

A clip you disabled while prepping no longer carries that state into a draft or a handoff.

[Learn more] has moved from the start page into the profile menu, where you can reach it any time rather than only before you open a project. The Google sign-in wait screen is simpler and clearer too.

On Windows, updating no longer relaunches the previous version, and machines already stuck in that loop recover on their next launch with nothing for you to do.

AI agents connected through the Selects MCP no longer mistake an empty subfolder for an empty project, and starting an analysis no longer reports a false failure that caused it to run twice.

Selecting a folder Selects doesn't have permission to read no longer looks like an empty folder.

Switching a full draft to multicam works again for projects where the multicam flag had gone stale, instead of showing a mistaken "no multicam footage" error.

Eligible users, including some on older legacy plans, now see a [Claim free credits] button in the profile usage panel.

Signing in with Google is more reliable, with a clear waiting screen while sign-in completes and clearer error messages if something goes wrong.

Billing history now shows your Stripe invoices alongside older Lemon Squeezy payments in one place.

Voucher invitations now correctly grant the invited Selects plan after signing in with Google, including for existing Google accounts.

Preview a file in prep before you analyze it, by hovering it and clicking [View]

Analysis reports its outcome once, where you actually are, and tells you why anything failed so you can try those clips again

Audio scoring now looks at the five minutes with the most speech instead of always the first five, so quieter speakers are less likely to be missed on long recordings

Media you import into prep but never place on the timeline is no longer lost when the project is created. It is kept as B-roll and sound files

Chat moved into the [Assistant] panel on the left, with show and hide now at the bottom left

Camera switching happens entirely in chat, and the manual panel is gone

Editing tools are collected into one [Tools] menu: [Remove silence], [Cut filler words], [Speaker audio settings], and [Check names and terms]

The floating timeline toolbar keeps the cutting tools, and gains [Add marker] and [Shortcuts] under [More], plus a [Speakers] button

Group drafts, synced timelines, and files into folders that carry through to your export, or ask chat to do the filing. Drop in a screenshot of the bin structure you use in your editor and it will match it

New [Comments] mode: leave comments on a draft at specific timecodes, then send the whole batch to chat at once

Attach an image to a chat message when it is easier to show than describe

Selects marks shaky, blurry, and out-of-focus stretches on the source timeline, on by default. Ask chat to clean them off a draft, and it removes them on a single camera, or switches to a clean angle of the same person on multicam. Turn it off with [Mark bad shots in source] under Preferences, Timeline (Find shaky and blurry shots)

Handing off to DaVinci Resolve now gives you a Resolve project file (.drp) instead of a zipped XML, so you open it directly and relink far less

Audio rendering is steadier on long timelines

Billing history now shows invoice dates and payment dates separately, so retries are easier to tell apart from renewals

Payment failure messages and retry status are clearer

Scheduled cancellations now show the cancellation date instead of the next renewal date

Cancelling a subscription now works when browser translation is turned on

Timeline markers stay with their chapter after you insert gaps between chapters.

Attach a script file to chat with the paperclip button or by dragging it in: text, Markdown, Word, PDF, and SRT, up to 10 MB.
