Updated September 23, 2026. Catch up on more reliable Work files, refreshed mobile navigation, Mac fixes, automatic refill bonuses, read-aloud voices, fractional API billing, and the Based Benchmark.
Work checks that revised source code, data, and documents are returned as downloads, and that recovered media keeps the latest corrected version. Office edits better preserve slide artwork, editable charts, Word headings, workbook structure, and cell styles. PDF handling improves form appearance, password protection, and redaction checks. Unanswered questions stay accessible through Answer now, draft answers survive refresh, and required questions pause dependent work. Video routing better distinguishes explicit generation requests from advice and ideas.
Mobile navigation brings search and Settings into a branded sidebar header, adds a labeled New Chat button, and uses larger text. Long drafts stay above the keyboard, message actions stay visible, and chats reconnect more reliably. Mac 1.0.7 fixes plugin and custom MCP dialogs; Mac updates also improve window zoom, restore, and sidebar feedback. Choose and save a female or male Read aloud voice for automatic playback when you open it.
Eligible automatic refills include 10% extra credits at the same pack price and start when settled usage drops below the chosen threshold, subject to spending controls. Billing and API settings use compact grouped sections, invoices have labeled download buttons, and subscription displays better reflect discounts and cancellation status. Developer text requests with reliable usage settle in fractional credits rounded up to six decimal places. Ask Work for conversation usage when needed.
Based Benchmark compares Arya and other AI models on the same 62-question Political Compass test, with an interactive chart and question-by-question answers. The model picker simplifies search, categories, favorites, and comparison. Ideas adds 36 prompts, tool cards have quieter styling, and chat pets appear in compact thinking indicators. Sign-in, sidebar resizing, mobile web settings, and temporary Work startup failures have improved recovery.
GPT-6 Sol, GPT-6 Luna, Claude Opus 5.5, and MiMo V2.6 Flash and Pro joined the lineup. Personalized Ideas, response styles, interactive plans, and a refreshed Files library help organize everyday work. Mac plugins connect approved services and custom HTTPS MCP servers. Work can revise existing Word and PowerPoint files, while referrals, scheduled-task editing, model details, and mobile attachment controls gained clearer layouts.
Browse a project file tree, open and edit text files, and inspect repository changes inside the Mac app. A new permissions overview brings folder and app access together, and quotes stay attached to the first message in a new chat.
The direct-download Mac app connects Work to approved project folders, browser tabs, and supported apps, with native menus, task notifications, and in-app updates. Run approved local commands and tests, manage development servers, review Git diffs, and restore supported saved edits. Pair an iPhone or Android device to work with shared folders, review changes, transfer documents, and hand tasks between devices. Choose folder sharing and edit access; keep the Mac awake, online, and running Gab AI for local work.
Chat in a side panel in Chrome or Brave, add readable page text to your draft, or use Ask Gab AI on a selection. Connect the Mac app to let Work use approved tabs with your existing sign-ins while you keep using other tabs. The extension is a manual-install preview.
Use /goal to keep an objective active across replies until it finishes or needs your attention. Track elapsed time, edit the objective, and pause or resume with existing credit and approval controls. Mac tasks restore their activity when reopened, search and typing work more reliably, and expired access pauses Work without repeated approval prompts. Spreadsheet edits preserve merged cells, while document transfers, previews, and exports recover more clearly from missing files and interrupted work.
Larger sheets open and edit more smoothly, with better formulas, charts, and Excel exports. Credit estimates include attachments before you send. Streaming replies stay in place, phone task forms stay above the keyboard, and sidebar titles have more room. Subscription renewals, restored purchases, delayed payments, and credits for cancelled or failed generations recover more reliably.
Open generated files together, preview individual results, or download a conversation’s outputs as a ZIP. Media generation follows more of the chosen model’s controls. Pending Work approvals survive resumed tasks and chat recovery preserves the last prompt. Scheduled tasks can use Chat or Work and keep a bot’s instructions. Automatic media generation can try another available model after a provider failure, and new chats start in Chat mode.
Create a bot by describing the helper you need and refining its instructions in a setup chat. Choose its Chat and Work models, mention it in the composer, set a default bot, or give it a job. Emoji reactions let you respond to individual messages. A shorter onboarding introduces Chat and Work and can be revisited from Personalization. Work gained Auto-approve for supported task approvals, and DeepSeek V4.1 Flash joined the lineup with image understanding and adaptive reasoning.
Give Gab AI a job: research, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, code, or media. Work shows its plan, streams progress, asks for decisions, and delivers files in the conversation. Choose Fast, Standard, or High thinking power. Create multi-scene films with scripts, stills, clips, voiceover, and music, reviewing stages before assembly; edit uploaded footage with transcripts, cuts, captions, and motion graphics. Build playable HTML games and webpages, review code, and revise images beside the chat.
Follow browser activity and take over when needed, or ask a side question from selected text on desktop web. Saved checkpoints help recover interrupted Work tasks, spending checkpoints support review, and Settings shows per-task usage. GPT-6 Astra, GPT Image 2.5 Flare and Sunburst, Eleven v3 speech, and Scribe V2 transcription expand the lineup. Eight pixel companions joined the pets, and the Dream Memory overview became editable.
Gemini 3.8 Flash and Fable 5.1 joined the chat lineup. Dream Memory began reviewing recent chats throughout the day, and image and PDF attachments stay with their original messages so follow-up questions keep the right context.
Ask in Voice Mode and webpage results appear on screen while Arya speaks a short summary. There is no Search toggle to remember — talk, tap a source, and keep going.
Z.ai's flagship GLM 5.3 joined the picker for software engineering and long-horizon agents, with a 1M-token context window and always-on reasoning. GLM 5.3 Flash followed as a faster multimodal variant, and Ox Alpha landed for coding and production workloads.
Collections now nest into folders, so school, client, and project work can sit in a real tree. Each collection can keep its own isolated memory, share account memory, or turn memory off. Working drafts also survive context compaction, so long chats do not lose the file you were editing.
Describe a song and Gab AI returns a finished track. MiniMax Music 3 writes full pieces up to five minutes — sectioned lyrics, instrumentals, and 44.1 kHz stereo — in the same chat you already use for text, images, and video.
Memory learns as you chat. Say "remember" to save a fact instantly, or let Gab AI quietly review recent conversations throughout the day and consolidate what matters. Plus includes background dreaming, with an editable overview on the Memory page — and you can edit individual memories, delete them, or turn learning off anytime.
Plus Premium is a web-only tier with 12,000 credits a month, higher API limits, and priority support. Chat can also read, edit, and return downloadable file changes — revise an attached document without leaving the conversation.
Animals, robots, and eight new pixel companions live in your workspace and animate while the AI works. Pick one and it reacts as answers stream in, each with its own personality.
Ask for dinner or a training plan in Auto mode and the answer arrives as a structured card: ingredients, steps, prep and cook times for recipes; exercises, sets, reps and rounds for workouts. Ready to save, share or follow along.
Ask for a brief, a deck or a budget and Gab AI opens it as a living artifact. Edit the document, rearrange the slides or tweak the cells without starting over — then export as .md, .pptx or .xlsx when you are done.
Recent additions include DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, GPT-6 Astra, Fable 5.1, and Gemini 3.8 Flash for chat and reasoning; GPT Image 2.5 Flare and Sunburst for images; and ElevenLabs Eleven v3 TTS and Scribe V2 for speech and transcription. They join GLM 5.3 and Flash, Ox Alpha, DeepSeek V4 Pro, Qwen Image 3 Pro, Flux 2 Pro, MiniMax H3 Max, FLUX.3 Video, Hailuo 3, MiniMax Music 3, and the wider model lineup.
Chat is free to start. New accounts get 250 credits with no credit card required — sign up to explore. Work and live Voice Mode require a plan with access.
