ThingAI
ThingAI is an artificial intelligence based on GPT-4 created by discord user Cryptid (wisienki2ie). It's meant to serve as a helpful companion that isn't as corporate as ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot or Google Gemini.
Development
Development began on the 3rd of March under the name PangAI, but later due to laziness PangAI became the simpler ThingAI we know today. 5 Hours after development began ThingAI 1.0 was released to the public.
The development of ThingAI 1.1 began the very next day and was released on the 9th of March introducing text to speech and speech to text to ThingAI as well as a new prompt.

The update introduces a new prompt capable of drawing using different models, a custom ThingAI creator, a ThingAI workshop where users can share their custom ThingAI's, a new API and a new UI as well as a website version.
The first ThingAI 2.0 preview dropped on the 4th of May with the second preview dropping shortly after on the 6th of May.
The third preview was released on the 28th of May as a website exclusive update, bringing a major overhaul to the ThingAI website.
The development of the new API began on the 14th of June and the 1.0 build releasing on the 15th of June and the 1.1 build releasing on the 2nd of July, as of now neither the finished website nor ThingAI extension are public.
