Thank you so much for the kind words and for supporting Ashley! 👻

I’m really happy to hear that you like her concept and that she works well with OpenRouter for you. The fact that she remembers what you like and can play the playlists you use while gaming is exactly the kind of companion experience I want Ashley to grow into.

And yes, I completely understand the concern about the permissions. Ashley is not doing anything malicious, but because she can interact with the desktop, browser, local services, voice, and optional PC actions, Windows can show warnings or permission prompts. I’m already working on making this feel safer and less confusing.

In the latest update, I moved more of Ashley’s local behavior to a localhost-only setup, which should reduce some unnecessary permission prompts. I also want to get proper code signing in the future so Windows can recognize Ashley more clearly.

About Pet Mode, thank you for reporting that. I just worked on a fix for messages being cut off, so the latest version should improve that. If you still see the issue after updating, please let me know and I’ll keep checking it.

Thank you again for buying Ashley and supporting the project. It really means a lot, especially while Ashley is still growing.

Thank you so much for the detailed feedback 😊

I’m really glad the Edit and Refresh features are useful, and I’m also very happy to hear that Ashley works great with your local Gemma setup. That information helps a lot.

About the issues:

• The repeated YouTube links are not intended, so I’ll look into improving how Ashley handles and varies links.
• The Refresh message appearing twice sounds like a bug. It should replace/regenerate the response, not keep both messages in the conversation.
• Right-click support for spell checking and copy/paste is a good suggestion, and I’ll add it to my list.
• I’ll also check the Desktop Pet mode issue where the last message gets cut off.

Thank you again for testing Ashley and taking the time to write this. Feedback like this is extremely useful and helps me improve her step by step.

For now, I’m releasing a new version with a fix for the dead link in the license purchase button. After that, I’ll look into all of these issues 👍

Thank you for the recommendations! 👌

Hey, whasup ! 

That sounds like Ashley is opening Brave through the normal Windows browser handler, not through Modern Browser Mode.

The video is actually playing correctly, but Brave does not always expose the tab state in a way Ashley can verify. So Ashley thinks the action failed, even though it worked 😭

I already fixed the false error for the fallback path, and I’ll release an update soon 👍.

For the most reliable music and browser control, I recommend enabling Modern Browser Mode ( Full settings - modern brower mode - on - can take a little moment )  and letting Ashley launch the browser herself. You can also launch it through the desktop shortcut, so Ashley can detect and control the browser more reliably.
