- Since September 2024: Experiments have been started on how we can work on long texts with AI Studio. Let's say you want to write a fantasy novel or create a complex project proposal and use LLM for support. The initial experiments were promising, but not yet satisfactory. We are testing further approaches until a satisfactory solution is found. The current state of our experiment is available as an experimental preview feature through your app configuration.

- Since March 2025: We have started developing the plugin system. There will be language plugins to offer AI Studio in other languages, configuration plugins to centrally manage certain providers and rules within an organization, and assistant plugins that allow anyone to develop their own assistants. We are using Lua as the plugin language:

- April 2025: We have two active financial supporters: Peer `peerschuett` and Dominic `donework`. Thank you very much for your support. MindWork AI reinvests these donations by passing them on to our AI Studio dependencies ([see here](https://github.com/orgs/MindWorkAI/sponsoring)). In the event that we receive large donations, we will first sign the app ([#56](https://github.com/MindWorkAI/Planning/issues/56)). In case we receive more donations, we will look for and pay staff to develop features for AI Studio.

- April 2025: The [German Aerospace Center (DLR)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Aerospace_Center) ([Website](https://www.dlr.de/en)) will use AI Studio at least within the scope of three projects and will also contribute to its further development. This is great news.

+- v0.9.51: Added support for [Perplexity](https://www.perplexity.ai/); citations added so that LLMs can provide source references (e.g., some OpenAI models, Perplexity); added support for OpenAI's Responses API so that all text LLMs from OpenAI now work in MindWork AI Studio, including Deep Research models; web searches are now possible (some OpenAI models, Perplexity).
 - v0.9.50: Added support for self-hosted LLMs using [vLLM](https://blog.vllm.ai/2023/06/20/vllm.html).
 - v0.9.46: Released our plugin system, a German language plugin, early support for enterprise environments, and configuration plugins. Additionally, we added the Pandoc integration for future data processing and file generation.
 - v0.9.45: Added chat templates to AI Studio, allowing you to create and use a library of system prompts for your chats.
@@ -58,6 +91,8 @@ Features we have recently released:
 - v0.9.26+: Added RAG for external data sources using our [ERI interface](https://mindworkai.org/#eri---external-retrieval-interface) as a preview feature.
 - v0.9.25: Added [xAI](https://x.ai/) as a new provider. xAI provides their Grok models for generating content.
 - v0.9.23: Added support for OpenAI `o` models (`o1`, `o1-mini`, `o3`, etc.); added also an [ERI](https://github.com/MindWorkAI/ERI) server coding assistant as a preview feature behind the RAG feature flag. Your own ERI server can be used to gain access to, e.g., your enterprise data from within AI Studio.

 Here's an exciting look at some of the features we're planning to add to AI Studio in future releases:
 - **Integrating your data**: You'll be able to integrate your data into AI Studio, like your PDF or Office files, or your Markdown notes.
 - **Integration of enterprise data:** It will soon be possible to integrate data from the corporate network using a specified interface ([External Retrieval Interface](https://github.com/MindWorkAI/ERI), ERI for short). This will likely require development work by the organization in question.

 - Added support for citations to the chat interface. This feature is invisible unless an LLM model is streaming citations or sources.
 - Added the Responses API according to the OpenAI documentation. It is currently only used by OpenAI, but we could use the API for other providers as soon as someone offers it. This means that all text-based LLMs from OpenAI can now be used in MindWork AI Studio. For example, the Deep Research models for comprehensive research tasks.
 - Added support for web searches. Currently supported by some OpenAI models (e.g., GPT5, newer Omni models, Deep Research models) and Perplexity. Used sources are displayed visually in the chat interface.
+- Added support for the LLM provider [Perplexity](https://www.perplexity.ai/). It can be used for web searches, deep research, and general chat tasks. Thanks `peerschuett` for the contribution.
 - Improved memory usage in several areas of the app.
 - Improved plugin management for configuration plugins so that hot reload detects when a provider or chat template has been removed.
 - Improved the dialog for naming chats and workspaces to ensure valid inputs are entered.

+- Added a feature so that matching results from data sources (local data sources as well as external ones via the ERI interface) are now also displayed at the end of a chat. All sources that come directly from the AI (like web searches) appear first, followed by those that come from the data sources. This source display works regardless of whether the AI actually used these sources, so users always get all the relevant information.
+- Added the ability to manage the preview feature visibility and enabled preview features by using enterprise IT configurations.
+- Improved developer experience by detecting development environments and disabling update prompts in those environments.
+- Fixed an issue where external data sources using the ERI interface weren't using the correct source names during the augmentation phase.
