Version 2.1.0 (Latest)
Personas with real character, a moderator in every room, and live calls. Here's what's new.
Personas with character
Every persona now has a personality, a hometown and a mood that shifts as the conversation goes. Push them too far and they might just walk out of the chat.
Chat about anything
You no longer need a debate to start talking. Open a free-form chat about whatever is on your mind, and add a debate later if you like.
A moderator who chairs the room
Every discussion now has a moderator. Mention it to sum up where things stand, settle a point or hand someone the floor. It also steps in when the tone gets rough.
Live calls, in beta (Pro)
Call a persona and argue it out loud. You see captions while you talk, the persona's mood as it changes, and a summary in the chat afterwards. Tell us what you think with the feedback button on the call screen.
Voice messages and read-aloud (Pro)
Say your point instead of typing it, and have the personas' replies read aloud in their own voices.
Faster, livelier chats
Replies now appear while they are being written, your messages send instantly and reactions animate.
A fresh look
A new chat screen and header, a floating navigation bar, simpler pages for creating debates and personas, and a short tour on your first launch that walks you through a real debate.
Free version
The free version now shows ads. When you reach a limit, watch an ad to get another debate, another persona or more room to talk. Pro removes the ads.
Version 2.0.0
Apol has been completely redesigned from the ground up. Here's what's new.
A more flexible way to discuss
Previously, you had to generate a new debate every time and create discussions inside it. That was a rigid, multi-step process. Now it's the other way around: start a discussion first, then add any debate or persona you like. Mix and match, swap things out, and experiment freely without starting over.
Your debates and personas are saved
No more one-time-use content. Every debate you generate and every persona you create is saved in the new Explore tab. Reuse them across different discussions, browse what you've made, and build on previous ideas.
Create your own AI personas
Before, you could only pick from a handful of predefined prompts. Now, free users can generate custom AI personas with unique names, personalities, and viewpoints, and add them to any discussion.
Run multiple discussions at once
You're no longer limited to one active conversation. Create as many discussions as you want, each with its own debate topic and mix of participants.
Invite friends with a link or QR code
Pro users can now share a discussion as easily as sending a link or scanning a QR code. For invite-only discussions, others can request to join and you approve them.
Fresh new design
The entire app has been redesigned with a modern look, smooth animations, swipeable cards, and a cleaner layout. Dark mode has been improved too.
Clearer free and Pro tiers
Free users can now do much more than before, including creating custom personas and running multiple discussions. Pro unlocks unlimited everything.
Improved translations
All supported languages have been updated with better, more natural translations across the entire app.
