Drag, Drop, Done: Now In All Conversation Windows

Hey everyone,

🔥 JUST RELEASED: You can now drag & drop or copy-paste any files or images directly into your existing Alter conversations!

This is the contextual AI experience we've been building toward - where your assistant adapts to your workflow, not the other way around.

What this means for your productivity:

• Continuous thought streams - No more restarting conversations to add new information
• Seamless context building - Drop in research, images, or code as your work evolves
• True workflow integration - Your AI assistant that grows with your thinking process

At Alter, we believe AI should fade into the background of your work - powerful enough to transform your productivity, yet natural enough that you forget it's there. This update is a significant step toward that vision.

See it in action:

We can't wait to see how this transforms your workflow. Share your experience in our Discord→ https://discord.gg/gvCMmfBRWZ

Best,
Sam
