  • Improved PDF extraction (tables, images, layouts)
  • Better code file support
  • Audio/video transcription
  • Web page ingestion

Enhanced Bee AI

Making the AI assistant smarter and more useful.

  • Better context awareness across conversations
  • Improved citation and source attribution
  • More control over response style and length
  • Multi-model support (Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic)
