[oXygen-user] [ANN] The new Oxygen AI Positron Assistant brings chat history, editable entries, user-defined actions, and more!

[Alin Belu]

Hello everyone,

We are thrilled to introduce you to the newest version of the *Oxygen AI 
Positron Assistant* add-on!

Version 0.9.3 comes with several exciting features, including a *chat 
history* so you can revisit previous chats and continue where you left 
off, *editable user entries* in chat to modify conversations and explore 
different paths, the introduction of *user-defined actions*, and the 
possibility to *provide project-specific details for more accurate AI 
responses*.

The *AI Positron Chat* now provides an overall improved experience with 
the addition of the *History* drop down toolbar button that allows you 
to go back to previous conversations and continue them. You can 
also*edit prompts* in the chat discussion thread so you can change the 
conversation and continue from any point if you want to explore a 
different path. Additionally, the AI response appears incrementally, as 
soon as the AI starts generating it, and you now have the option to stop 
the generation of a response early if you do not consider it fit for 
your needs.

Version 0.9.3 also introduces *user-defined AI actions*. The same 
approach used for defining built-in actions can now be used to specify 
actions on the client side through the usage of a JSON configuration 
file. It may even be linked to a project, making it simple to share 
actions with everyone who works on a certain project.

The newest version of the add-on comes with the possibility to provide 
*additional options for an action*. To avoid creating too many related 
actions, it is now possible to specify different facets for an action 
that the user can choose. This can be best seen in the action that 
generates short descriptions, as it uses this customization to allow 
users in choosing different writing styles, such as clear or engaging, 
as well as setting the number of expected sentences that will be generated.

The Oxygen AI Positron Assistant now enables you to *configure a context 
for all prompts* in the AI Positron Assistant Preferences page. This can 
be set to be project specific and it allows you to pass certain 
information to all the built-in actions, so that the AI model will 
generate better and more relevant results, as it becomes more 
knowledgeable about your context.

It is also worth mentioning that the AI Positron *activity messages have 
been integrated into the AI Chat view* for a more streamlined and 
consolidated user experience, thus making the AI Activity View not 
needed anymore.

We want to remind you that we plan to frequently release new features 
and improvements, so please let us know what you think about the current 
version and stay tuned for exciting new versions of this add-on!

Best regards,
Alin
