Changelog

AI Chat is now available on Windows.

It's your space for real, back-and-forth conversations with AI. Quick AI is great for a fast answer. AI Chat is where you go when one answer isn't enough and you want to keep digging. Ask a question, follow up, and keep the thread going, whether you're debugging, drafting some writing, or researching a topic. And it's not just talk. With AI Extensions and MCP servers, AI Chat can pull in live context and take actions across your apps and tools, like creating a Linear issue or searching your codebase, without leaving the conversation. Just open Raycast and start a chat.

During the Beta phase, all testers get free access to AI Chat with the GPT 5.4 Mini model.
