During the beta, Sesame learned from user feedback and rolled out features including search cards with image results for visualizing concepts, notes for capturing takeaways, a texting mode for those times when speaking aloud is not an option, and support for deep dives where you can get more in-depth results. There’s also a new incognito mode for private conversations, which allows the agents access to prior context, but saves nothing to memory.

The app, however, is only the first step towards Sesame’s bigger plans for AI involving intelligent eyewear, which the team expects to launch in 2027. Before that, the agents will also learn to do more than just think with you, Sesame hints, suggesting they’ll later be able to take action on your behalf — hence why they’re called “agents” in the first place, instead of just chatbots.

That is potentially even more interesting, as working with agentic tools or apps today requires being able to prompt for what you need and have a specific idea of what you want to happen, and sometimes, even how it should happen. A conversational agent that you could talk to naturally could help you take the next steps, without you having to perfect the command you’re giving it.

The iOS app is out today in 39 countries, and the full experience is free for the time being. However, there still may be a short waitlist at sign-up. An Android preview is coming in the future, the company says.
