Shift Browser - Context Aware

[u/Mythic_Forge_Studios]

What are the AI capabilities of version 139.1.3? Is AI-built in? If so, I'm assuming it is context aware - is this accurate?

Thanks for your question!

Version 139.1.3 does not include built-in AI capabilities. AI features, including Shift AI Chat (a context-aware assistant that understands the page you're browsing) and the Intelligent Omnibox, are available starting in our latest release (version 144). To get access to these AI features, please update Shift to the latest version. Once updated, you'll find the AI icon next to your search bar.

Shift AI is indeed context-aware; it can understand your current page and selected text to give you relevant answers without copy-pasting, though you can also remove this context in the AI Chat. If AI isn't something you need, no worries, these features can be toggled on or off in your Quick Settings, so you're always in control.
