    Hi friends, it’s time for another version update! Here are the main changes in this release:

    • Smarter thinking, clearer UI: We’ve polished the interface to make reasoning steps more transparent. It’s now easier to understand what the AI is doing and why — especially during complex tasks.

    v2.1.11

    Dear friends, it’s time for another version update! Here are the main changes in this release:

    We’re introducing the “Chat with PDF” feature. Yes, now you can upload a PDF or image while chatting with the AI in Haye, giving you a brand new way to expand your conversation context.

    This update also brings a new feature: when you’re having an ongoing conversation with the AI and want to see detailed info—like how many tokens you’ve used or which models were involved—you can click the “More” button in the top left of the chat interface. This will show a details module with specifics about your conversation. We’ll keep improving this feature in the future.

    Other upgrades and optimizations:

    • Improved the default user avatar for new users
    • Adjusted the left sidebar layout to support quick chat creation and added a clickable account area at the bottom
    • Enhanced chat title generation, now supporting multiple languages and preventing overly long titles
    • Added shortcut key display and support for shortcuts like opening a new window or chat (press “command + /” to bring up the list)
    • New users now see available credit points for a more natural onboarding experience
    • Upgrade to the latest Claude model

    v2.1.5

    Hey friends! Time flies — it’s time for another weekly Haye update!

    Since we launched the Lifetime version last week, we’ve received a flood of feedback. Thank you all for your incredible support and enthusiasm! It’s your encouragement that gives Haye endless possibilities.

    This week, we’re excited to introduce a brand-new feature — Work with App.

    Now, Haye can collaborate directly with your macOS apps. Simply select the apps you want in the conversation, and Haye will be able to understand their current content. This makes it easier and more natural to explore and interact with your apps through dialogue.

    We’ve also refined many details across the experience to make sure every user feels the magic of Haye.

    Here’s what’s new this release:

    • [New Feature] Work with App
    • [New Feature] Improved the AI generation process for more natural and fluid results
    • [Bug Fix] Fixed text display issues in the login window
    • [Bug Fix] Fixed image component transparency issue when uploading images
    • [Bug Fix] Fixed the prompt message when no custom model is set
    • [Bug Fix] Updated markdown rendering styles for smoother and more readable fonts

    v2.1.2

    Daily Updates

    After a period of development, we’ve officially completed a comprehensive upgrade of the foundational framework for Haye 2. The new version of Haye is now lighter and more usable, thanks to our redesign and upgrade of the entire framework. Alongside this release, we’re also introducing the Haye Lifetime version — a one-time purchase that gives you permanent access to all of Haye 2’s features, including custom model integration.

    The original Haye Pro version will still be available. Compared to the Lifetime version, Haye Pro includes access to advanced model services, allowing you to use all features of Haye seamlessly without needing to configure your own API keys. Both versions offer the same functionality, but are tailored for different user needs:

    • If you prefer a one-time purchase, Haye Lifetime is for you.
    • If you want a plug-and-play experience, Haye Pro is your best choice.

    Right now, annual subscriptions for Haye Pro are available at a deeply discounted rate — making it one of the most cost-effective options on the market. We’re confident it will deliver a top-tier user experience.

    To celebrate this major upgrade, the Haye Lifetime version is currently on sale for just $19.99 — don’t miss out on this special offer!

    This is a major version release where we’ve reimagined the entire Haye experience from the ground up. From a macOS-style interface to full support for custom LLM APIs, Haye 2.0 brings you closer to the AI you truly want. We’re adopting a small-iteration, rapid-release approach—so expect frequent updates and feature rollouts over the next 1–2 months.

    Daily Updates

    This is a routine update where we've primarily fixed some underlying details related to conversations, such as history storage and multi-line input. We've also added a new image pasting feature in the main window.

    Additionally, we'd like to update everyone that a new version of Haye AI is currently under development. We're adopting a small-iteration, rapid-release approach, and over the next 1-2 months, we'll be rolling out various features from Haye's new version. At that time, you'll be able to experience a completely redesigned interface, more refined scenario support, and the ability to use private large language model APIs.

    To make every conversation with Haye AI more fluid and natural, we have carefully crafted a brand new upgraded version.

    Haye is no longer just a simple text selection assistant, but your always-online AI companion. We have added conversation history functionality, allowing every meaningful interaction to be fully preserved. The newly designed main interface allows Haye to quietly reside in your device - no need for repeated wake-ups, just one click to start a conversation, making it as natural as chatting with an old friend. We have also upgraded the underlying model, making it more capable and intelligent when users interact with the core AI system.

    Sorry, the update time span is a bit long, because we have made some member-related experience upgrades. In the initial trial of Haye, users often encountered confusion. In order to solve this problem, we have made an update from the initial registration process to the payment process.

    After this update, many contents will be more explicit, such as how many times you have used queries and your account status. At the same time, in this version, we have also made some very basic experience repairs, such as the presentation position of the toolbar after it exceeds the safe area. Welcome everyone to experience it.

    In the next iteration, we will continue to add new features, so stay tuned.

      • receive a 3-month Haye Pro promotion code
      • or enjoy a 20% discount on the annual Haye Pro subscription.

If you encounter this, you can feedback this information to us. In addition, we have also added a search function in this version.
