Introducing PageBlaze

[Bradles]

Hi all,

The test version of PageBlaze includes a new "AI Chats" feature called "PageBrAIN". Start or resume chats from the Books page:

Sample output:

Note the following about AI chats:

• PageBrAIN uses the OpenAI API, which provides "a simple interface to state-of-the-art AI models for text generation."
• Only OpenAI is supported at this time.
• In production, you must supply your own OpenAI API key. See this HowToGeek article for instructions.
• Visit OpenAI to see the list of models here. gpt-4.1-mini has a good balance between speed, cost and performance.
• Chats and chat history are stored in the browser.
• Chats will not "follow" you to a different browser.

Enter your API key and a model in settings:

For testing, and only testing, we have provided an API key with a small limit. You will still need to put something in the "AI API Key" setting, even "dummy key". The model is fixed to gpt-4.1-mini.

A few other minor changes:

• The navigation menu works better when the screen is in portrait mode.
• The colour-coding of the "Reading Now" button on the Home page has changed:

Reminder: The test version uses the same login details, but has completely separate data.

Until the next chapter...
