Kirill Rebrov Oct 28, 2025 v@ initial release

Thank you TAAFT community! First feedback was extremely valuable to us. We reprioritized some of our upcoming features and UX and fixed a couple of bugs along the way. Among the fast tracked features is smoother integration with Google Docs public file links - it's now easier to work with word documents and files from Google Docs right in chat with David (spreadsheet support is on the way)

Alice Oct 27, 2025 v@ initial release

Very good AI assistant, that helped me in my everyday life, by making the tasks for myself, asking David about the things I might not know and many more. I highly recommend.

Natalia Tsvetkova Oct 27, 2025 v@ initial release

Very user-friendly! It has lots of interesting features, is easy to use, and has a great sense of humor :)
