Welcome back! This is no 5.33, we're just fixing some things so it will be easier for everyone to see their auto-generated trees from nodes. There's many other changes we have in store for 5.32, especially with on-the-fly node creation, stay tuned!

• design for ancestry and dependency trees is more compact
  
• still left to right

• tree is now top-bottom instead of left-right
  
• tree more compact like ancestry and dependency trees

• NAT and KEY icon resolve fixed
  
• added 6 new icons

We've also made MASSIVE progress on functionality you will love to have, available if you are a Plus user once we're done with it.

It's the last day of Steam Spring Sale. so if you wanna get in on that as early as possible for the current best price- check our Steam page for Plus or Lite and check our discounts

The tests from 5.31.3 look successful so far, with users that weren't able to previously use IAI now having no issues- so we're elevating it to all users and out of the test branch.

That's not all! We previously made the advanced node description viewer available to all. We're very excited to announce that 5.32 closes that loop, making our advanced node description editor (in full) available to free users too, now unlockable by EVERYONE at level 3.
- inline nodes in multiple ways + create them on the spot
- add links, images, files
- bold, italics, headers,
- tables, code blocks
+ support for shortcuts for quick use

There's some issues with pushing updates on Steam, update coming soon

Great to be back, hope and wish that you are all well, and if not to remember how much can change in just one day, whether externally or internally, and that we can all quit sleep today to have more time to get our ducks in row or to move forward faster, just sayin.

For our first update of the year we're focusing on fixing all outstanding errors + starting with a way to find what is happening in those errors/crashes + pushin the current season of unlocks forward.


Theres been breaking issues for some new users since 5.30 or so that we havent been able to reproduce on our devices. This update works to address that- now when a warning or error or crash occurs, a file will be made in the /ImmaterialAI/logs" folder inside your My documents (or regional equivalent), the files containing additional info and the stack trace of each issue (if available).

LE: We've seen the game-breaking issue not appear anymore for users that switched to the test branch, we don't know why, may be due to us upgrading our pipeline, either way we're here for it, it means IAI can now get to all the users that were looking for it!!!

Share your logs anywhere here on Steam or on our new Discord if IAI isn't working for you and we'll have a closer look!

For now you can find 5.31.3 only if you opt into the "test" beta when you right click on ImmaterialAI on Steam and go to Properties (free app-only update atm)*. The solution is not perfect, or scalable at all, it is though something on a shoestring budget to hold us over until we automate the error reporting process.

LE 2: We've uploaded builds for Plus and Lite on the test branch too, try them out and let us know!

Unless there's any issues on the test branch, we'll push the 5,31,3 from the test branch to the main branch next Sunday in a week


We're also extending Season 3 until 1st of Aug 2024 (from Jan 2024), get your skins this year or never ever again, they might go for billions in a few weeks(?!)

GG team!

As you might know, some new users on Windows can't get the app to run, and we have no way of tracking or reproducing that at the moment. I just got abit of time to look at this, but I could use your help. We restarted our discord server so we can all troubleshoot those bugs, translations, suggestions etc + all the other communitymaxxing, link[discord.gg].

For those experiencing that bug- until the Steam version works- use the web version available on our website, if you got Plus on Steam I'll give you Plus for the web version. As mentioned in the previous post, the web client's data model is 100% matching the Steam one, so you'll be able to move all your data from Web to Steam once the Steam app works for you.

STAY STRONG

Let's get to it family:


This issue and more bugfixes is what the next year will be about. We started working on 6.0 features a while ago but we'll have to put a pause on that to bring 5.31 to where it should be. We've just uploaded a new build on the 'Test' track that you can enter from Steam settings when you right click ImmaterialAI. If it still doesn't work do use the web client on https://immaterialai.live/, once everything works again on the Steam version you'll be able to copy all data to and fro in a few taps.

For people whose apps weren't booting beyond just getting into the app please let me know in DMs or here or in Discussions if the 'Test' track version of IAI works. The app-boot issue doesn't reproduce on our end on our hardware even if we follow the steps you users have taken step by step. We don't send any analytics or crashes so we can't tell from our end either. Some solutions we're brainstorming

- sending anonymized crashes if you have internet, caching them if you don't until you have internet again + generating a unique ID on the app side (not backend) which will be sent when you have a crash- so we can look at the crash + id and later say "hey, user with ID 'o3413014141b31j431nk413', we are looking at your crash" or "crash occuring for ids X Y Z fixed" etc, without us knowing who you are or your privacy being exposed
- enabling the developer console for test builds so all users can see exactly what is happening


Most likely, we don't have money or time to work on this as we need money to feed our families, so the plan right now is another business that will help fund IAI 6 and the future of Mesh- there's so much crazy things we want to do with the platform, but while it can't help us have a roof over our head we have to focus where we have to, to make ends meet. Things will be different when we'll be able to live off only IAI, that will improve our speed LIKE NOTHING ELSE.

We plan and have already been working on most of these
- IAI in 3D, algorithms for cluster arrangement
- weights in links
- premade semantics
- Mesh online- host your own Mesh library server (privately accessible only to you and who else you allow) or join private servers or the global one
- properties- data types for Nodes and Links, both simple and complex, e.g. from true/false values to defining addresses and their type of lnhabitance in one, or multiple addresses, their gps locations and colors for a data type to map all points of interest on a map
- Functions- ability to convert multiple inputs into tables, new nodes, properties, complex types and everything else
- new graphing algorithms
- new UI modes for graphs
- updating IAI Classic on Android to be more embedded with the OS: wakelocks, always-on notification to easily access AI chats, more
- Mesh-based Android launcher
and other things which if I told you you'd get too hyped and your chakras would explode, so on and so forth. Point is we haven't been sleeping and there much we're working on, problem is we're just at a point where things have to slow down to focus on what we'll keep us going on the long run. We have previously delivered 30+ major updates in a year, this year will be slow. But know, even so, IAI is one of those insane candles that grows twice the amount it burns so it will be all right, just abit later than expected.

Stay real everyone and happy new year, IAI will always be, this revolution in information and availability to absolute reality has JUST begun!

Enjoy, this is not a timed discount! If you haven't yet voted for what features you'd want most in IAI 6, check this post

The results have been so good that this has to come out of early access:


We enforced ChatGPT to return Mesh 1.4 data (in use since ImmaterialAI 5.0), meaning you can tell it to convert anything into nodes, links, node types, link types, worlds and tags (+linktyperequirements, worldconstraints, tagreferences etc) with or without existing data to use (it keeps in mind IAI-wide default data and types). The JSON it returns can be imported into IAI once properly formatted.

It can generate IAI 5.X+ compliant data for information such as
- all countries and their continents
- all religions, their founders and branches
- all philosophies
- all scientific findings since some year in some area
- geographical information
- compiled demographic statistics per region
- rulers of states over years
- all named emotional states in a language

The AI client has support for
- crawling the web to get all information needed
- compiling and running python code to give you complex output
- file input
- real-time fine-tuning of output by you telling the chat other info to add after a response, how current data has to be changed, etc
- customization for each node (e.g. you can tell the AI to add a city's population in that node's subtitle)
- change language of export

SOON:
- proper handling of properties: We're still at Mesh 1.4 where there isn't full support and parsing of properties, when that will be out we'll update the AI too (properties will be fundamental to IAI functions, coming soon).
- enable the GPT to write node descriptions with inline nodes, links etc with Mesh formatting

The AI chat can crawl the web, write scripts to get the info you need and bring it back to you. In theory, it often doesn't listen to all instructions we give it, so

- if it just tells you that the data would be too long to bla bla without generating the required JSON, reply with "generate" to generate the data
- you can translate returned data by telling the chat to translate the returned data in any language
- if it adds comments to the JSON tell it to remove them, we already tell it but it doesn't always listen
- if it generates sample data (against our instructions), tell it to generate all data and that you're okay with continuing the generation manually if the response is too long
- might be useful to generate some sections of your logic at a time e.g. first query all continents, then use that in a query for all countries and their continent, then for countries in X continent their polyline, etc, as it doesn't properly handle ultra-complex queries
- if you want all the nodes to be put in a new World mention that and its id and whether it already exists or should be created, and you'll get a new JSON will all the nodes tied to that world

As you might know, we started winding our development for the year down since 5.30, with 5.31 coming out of nowhere only through Sergei's contribution of full RU support, GG man

Even tho we're done with major expected functionality for the year, you can help out on what's going to come in the next years... TODAY. Are you ready for the future?

We made 2 polls on what major and minor features our community wants most out of what we have in mind for IAI 6. You can vote on the next major features HERE[strawpoll.com] and on the next minor features HERE[strawpoll.com]

It would be ideal if we could work on everything right now but current circumstances don't allow it. Some of those might take more time than others to get fully right e.g. fully secure online functionality to enable voting without abuse, but whatever will come out by Jan 1st we'll work on.

Stay tuned!

This update marks a milestone for the ImmaterialAI community, being the first one to bring an entirely-community-contributed language to the platform, thanks Sergei for making this possible from the whole team!

• contributed by Сергей Романович Рыжков[www.litres.ru], HUGE thanks for all the great work
  
• select from settings/main menu

• (Plus only) temporarily removed the world exclusion filtering from node tree and graph generation as nodes from worlds that weren't excluded WOULD faultly get excluded from trees and graphs
