Better answers, way faster.
We’ve been heads-down improving how Projects works with your files - and this update is a big step forward.
What’s new:
-
3x faster responses - ask questions across thousands of documents and get answers in seconds
-
2x better retrieval quality - more accurate, more relevant answers from your files. Less noise, more signal
Everything else you love stays the same - fully private, fully offline, works on Windows and Mac.
Why this matters
If you tried Projects before and hit cases where it missed something or pulled the wrong info - give it another go. The retrieval engine underneath has been completely reworked. You should notice a real difference, especially with larger projects.
For the engineers: we moved to hybrid search - combining full-text search with the vector search we had before. This means better keyword matching on top of semantic understanding. We also added date-aware retrieval, so queries like “what happened in March 2024” actually work well now. Happy to nerd out in the comments if you want details.
Grab the latest version and let us know how it compares. If you had specific queries that didn’t work well before, try them again - we’d love to hear if the results improved.
