      <description><![CDATA[A major website refresh with new branding, smarter navigation, chat sharing, and new Claude models.]]></description>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[
Hey friends, I just shipped a big refresh and update to the Toolkit.

Some of this is functional, and a lot of it is design. The biggest reason for this release is there was a ton of structural work under the hood we needed to tackle so we can execute on everything planned next.

## Fun Stuff

- Branding is now closer to the main website, with dark mode as the default
- There is now a dark mode / light mode toggle in the main nav
- The color palette was updated to match the syntax highlighter palette used in code blocks
- New sales page with some fun components

## Structural Stuff

- Sidebars are now context-specific: top nav handles primary navigation, and sidebars change based on where you are
- Every code snippet tag now gets its own URL so it is easy to share
- You can now review your chat history at `/chats` (chat in the browser may come later)

## Functional Stuff

- You can now share chats. The **Share** button duplicates your chat at that point in time and gives you a shareable link. If you continue the chat afterward, those new messages are not included in the shared version.
- New Claude models are now available in chat:
  - Claude Opus 4.6 — very good, but very expensive. Upgrade to this model if you&apos;re on Opus 4.5
  - Claude Sonnet 4.6 — good balance between price &amp; intelligence. Upgrade to this model if you&apos;re on Sonnet 4.5

      <description><![CDATA[Pick from multiple AI models with a new model selector in the extension and on the website.]]></description>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[
You&apos;re no longer locked into a single AI. A new model picker lets you switch between providers and find the one that works best for your task.

&lt;Video url=&quot;https://youtu.be/1HJYcQ2W1-k&quot; /&gt;

## Pick Your Model

The extension now shows a dropdown next to the chat input where you can choose from several AI models. Each one has its own strengths — some excel at coding, others are faster or more budget-friendly.

&lt;Image src=&quot;https://axumesoffyxvpdveiayx.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/Available_Models.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Model picker dropdown in extension&quot; /&gt;

## Available Models

Here&apos;s what you can choose from:

### Anthropic (Claude)

- Claude Sonnet 4.5 — excellent at CSS and JavaScript, great all-rounder
- Claude Opus 4.5 — most capable model for complex problems
- Claude Haiku 4.5 — fast and affordable for quick tasks

### OpenAI (ChatGPT)

- ChatGPT 5.2 — latest variant, balanced performance and cost
- ChatGPT 5 — great for writing and detailed explanations
- ChatGPT 5 Codex — optimized specifically for code generation
- ChatGPT 5 Mini — smaller and faster for straightforward tasks
- ChatGPT 5 Nano — ultra-fast and very cheap for simple questions

### Google (Gemini)

- Gemini 3 Pro — strong at both coding and reasoning
- Gemini 3 Flash — fast and very affordable
- Gemini 2.5 Flash — huge context window with good price/performance
- Gemini 2.5 Flash Lite — cheapest Gemini option

### xAI (Grok)

- Grok 4.1 Fast — 2 million token context, solid at coding and writing
- Grok 4 Fast Reasoning — latest Grok with reasoning capabilities
- Grok Code Fast — very fast and cheap for development

### DeepSeek

- DeepSeek V3.2 — great value for coding tasks

More models are available in your account settings.

## Model Badges

Each model can have badges that highlight its strengths at a glance:

- Crown icon — great for coding
- Pen icon — great for writing
- Coins icon — budget-friendly option
- Zap icon — lightning fast responses

Hover over a badge in the dropdown to see what it means.

&lt;Image src=&quot;https://axumesoffyxvpdveiayx.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/assets/Available_Models_Badges.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Model badges showing characteristics&quot; /&gt;

## Smart Default Selection

Robo-Will remembers the last model you used and automatically selects it next time you open a chat. If you switch to Claude for a coding task, it&apos;ll still be there when you come back. You can always change it mid-conversation if you want a different perspective.

## Customize on the Website

Head to Account → AI Settings to manage which models appear in your picker. You can enable or disable models based on your workflow, keeping the dropdown clean and focused on what you actually use.

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[
A big update packed with new ways to customize Robo-Will and start building your own plugins.

## Credit Balance

Click your avatar to see your purchased credits, monthly credits, and when they reset. You can also purchase more right from the dropdown.

## Plugin Builder (Beta)

Ask Robo-Will to build custom components and it will structure them exactly like our plugins — HTML, JavaScript, and CSS ready to drop into your site. Great for rapid prototyping.

## Also in This Update

- Version indicator — hover over the extension title to see which version you&apos;re running
- Improved naming for uploaded custom fonts in &quot;brand&quot; view

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[
You can now tell Robo-Will how you like your answers.

## New AI Settings

Access Settings from the profile menu to customize Robo-Will:

- Response length — control how concise or detailed answers are (shorter = fewer credits)
- Code explanation style — from code-only to fully annotated
- Attribution toggle — turn off the &quot;Generated by Robo-Will&quot; comments
- Color format — choose between `HEX`, `HSLA`, or `RGBA`

## Where to Find It

Head to Account → AI Settings to set your preferences. Once saved, Robo-Will will remember them for every conversation—on the website and in the extension.

      <description><![CDATA[The extension is now significantly faster. Switching between views is nearly instant.]]></description>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[
The extension just got a lot snappier.

## What&apos;s Faster

- Switching views — jump between Plugins, My Code, and Explore Code without waiting for reloads
- Opening the extension — your data loads in the background, so it&apos;s ready when you need it
- Returning to previous screens — go back to a list you already viewed and it&apos;s instant
- Less spinning loaders — the extension remembers what you&apos;ve already seen

## The Bottom Line

The extension now feels more like a native app than a web page. Less waiting, more doing.

      <description><![CDATA[Meet Robo-Will, your AI-powered assistant for Squarespace customization.]]></description>
      <content:encoded><![CDATA[
Robo-Will is now available in the Toolkit extension.

&lt;Video url=&quot;https://youtu.be/hgConexa5I0&quot; /&gt;


## What You Can Do

- Get targeted CSS — use the Select tool to click on any element, then describe what you want changed
- Troubleshoot problems — ask why something isn&apos;t working and get an explanation plus a fix
- Generate code snippets — request scripts for animations, interactions, or site-wide effects
- Get content feedback — ask for critiques on your headlines, copy, or page layout

## How It Works

Open the Toolkit extension while viewing your Squarespace site. Click the Robo-Will tab. Optionally use the Select tool to click on an element for context. Describe what you need. Copy the code Robo-Will gives you into your CSS Editor or Code Injection.

## You&apos;re Always in Control

Robo-Will never modifies your site automatically. You review the code, decide what to use, and paste it yourself. No surprises.

## Getting Started

You&apos;ll need the [Chrome extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/toolkit-by-will-myers/kidhefkjdhlcjlhpakjofpdamimiihap) and a Code Curious membership.
