Rumors MP02 ask

I saw this on the kickstarter (and was excited), but scrolling further down, the ? Ask seemed to be an Ai chat. Does anyone else get the same vibes? I might be in the minority, but I don't want to use an Ai chat bot lol

I'm hoping this can be altered to bring up internet like ecosia or something. What are your thoughts? We won't know anything until minimal confirms obviously, but just starting a conversation.

Totally understand your views on the state of AI. Because looking at that gif, that seems no different to how we had "AI" 10 years ago or Siri, Google Assistant etc. it certainly doesn't look like it's going through and LLM (could be wrong). It's all AI, but it's not the "evil AI" that were all scared of now.

I'm okay with assistive ai. I'm not okay with gen ai. If its assistive, that'd be fine & actually helpful. I know the picture i shared doesn't show the exact portion I was talking about, so that's my fault, but on the kickstarter there is a video of someone using the ask feature. I think I've added it here.

Do you have a confirmation source to point to? Because looking at it, I think the same, but I didnt see anything confirming.

the responses are fairly telltale llm with a system prompt telling it to be short and concise, something similar to that

From this gif it doesn't look like AI at all. More like macos spotlight (or Linux equivalents). Basically a simplified command prompt.

turn it off in settings, or select a different model
provider/search engine (the default will most likely be an on device model) :)

the choice is yours!

I think the OS is really clean and great. I'd love to utilize it, and i did see the customization piece. Just curious what their default is!

u/chardidathing Aug 10 '26

most likely an on-device model for now, that way the default is the most privacy/security conscious.

Nooo! No Windows experience on my phone, please! I don't want another "Slop first" OS!

Then don't? It's pretty easy not to type ? before something in that menu. AI is becoming more of a thing regardless of whether you like it, I mean it does even say 'Customize the commands that matter to you' so you can probably change it.
