v1.6.9 Released: Personality Cards, Observations + Watch Together Improvements

CielChan · published 20 May 2026, 05:14 UTC · build 23318059

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hi everyone,

v1.6.9 is now live with new companion customization, smarter observations, smoother performance, and memory/tooling improvements.

Personality Cards

The Companion settings tab now includes Personality Cards. You can create, save, load, import, and export companion personalities with custom tone, preferences, greetings, lore, and observation style.

You can also generate a personality from a short prompt, tweak it, then save it for later. Personality Cards also support Steam Workshop, so you can import subscribed Personality Packs or publish your own.

Reminder: press Save after creating or editing a personality, and use Load when switching back to a saved one.

Observations + Watch Together

Observations and Watch Together should now feel more natural, varied, and grounded. The assistant reacts better to shared screen and audio moments, avoids repeated or stale comments, handles follow-up questions more smoothly, and only uses Vision or System Audio context when available.

Reliability Improvements

Personality consistency, tool handling, localization, and general desktop assistant behavior.

GPU Enabled Improvements

Manual messages should feel smoother while GPU Enabled mode is active, with less chance of a brief stall on some setups.

CPU Improvements

Improved caching and background processing to help reduce memory usage and keep things running more smoothly.

Bug Fixes:
Other small various bug fixes and refinements and optimizations for multilingual use.

More to come soon.
