What s live now

• GitLab support (public & private): sign in with GitLab and chat with any repo just like GitHub.

• Saved chats & History view: your conversations persist jump back into repos and continue where you left off.

• Smarter context: ask in natural language the AI automatically finds the right files and uses them for more accurate answers (no manual file selection).
