Search in more languages, protection in more languages, and tables you can sort and filter.New
- Search in 8 languages. Elephas searches your documents in English, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Tamil, Japanese and Chinese. Ask in one language and find passages in another, and questions worded differently from your documents match better. See Search your documents in other languages.
- Personal information protection in 7 languages. Protection now covers English, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Japanese and Chinese, and hides more kinds of detail, including street addresses, usernames, PINs, API keys and more ID numbers. Tamil is searchable but not protected yet. See Personal information protection.
- Tables you can sort and filter. Click a column header to sort, use Filter rows on tables with 8 or more rows, and click a cell’s grey pill to open its source. This works in older chats too.
- Windows from the Microsoft Store. Elephas for Windows now installs and updates from the Microsoft Store. A bar tells you when a new version is available there. See Install Elephas on Windows.
