v12.6.0 - Iris Orbit 👁️
Skales 12.6.0 "Iris Orbit" — desktop — and Skales Mobile 2.6.0 rolling out on Google Play and the App Store.
👁️ Iris Orbit — a voice with a face
A new way to talk to Skales instead of typing to it. A window of its own: a particle eye, one quiet line of text, and nothing else. Hold space and speak — she hears when you stop, answers out loud, and the line under the eye subtitles her sentence by sentence.
- Same brain, not a second assistant. The same conversation, model, tools and memory as chat. Carry any open chat over by voice, and the spoken turns are simply the newest messages when you return.
- The eye answers with more than words. Timers become digits counting down on the particles. Goals become a progress bow. Say "morph into a car" (in any of twelve languages) and it does — about 1,500 shapes, and they turn up on their own too: write "call the dentist" and the eye becomes a telephone.
- Content lands inside the ring. Ask for a poem, a document, a search or your task list and the particles form a living frame around it — the answer sits inside the eye, not under it.
- Wake word, on your device. Teach her her name by saying "Iris" three times. Training and listening are processed entirely locally — audio becomes numbers in memory and is discarded; nothing is uploaded.
- Speaks your language — 55 of them, from the first open, with the voice following the language.
- On by default (Beta v1.0). Turn her off under Settings → Voice and she stays off. Without a provider key the window says so and points the way.
- On your phone too: the full surface — morphs, orbits, wake word, timer digits, barge-in — runs natively in Skales Mobile 2.6.0, drawn on the GPU.
👥 Agent Teams — in chat and in Code
Put the same question to several agents at once. Each answers on its own card, one of them coordinates and ranks the answers with two sentences on each — a recommendation, not a decision — and you choose who carries on. Works in the chat and in the Skales Code window, survives reloads, and finished runs fold away into a single line in your history.
🎬 Motion → MP4, on the phone
A Flow motion piece renders to a real MP4 directly on the device — hardware encoders, no computer, no upload, saved to Photos. The renderer shows live progress and reports seconds, frames, resolution and size when it is done.
Also in this release
- Answers finish in the background on mobile and notify you with a preview when they land.
- Fifteen rotating greetings, natural wording and a refined persona for Iris in all twelve UI languages.
- The whole toolset announces where results live ("the file is written, it is in …") instead of finishing silently.
- Dozens of fixes from a week of device testing: team runs that survive reloads, the Flow send button, group-chat scrolling, keyboard-safe inputs, calmer logs, and more — the full changelog tells all of it honestly.
