What is new in Pippa 0.6.7-1066
<!-- Checked: island and chat snapshots (Pippa --snapshot-island, Pippa --snapshot); check-approvals for the step chain's height, follow-up questions and the island without thinking text; PippaChecks for the answer stream; builds installed on a MacBook Air with a notch. Not checked: the motion of a live answer at the real notch (no way to type into Pippa from the build machine). --> # Pippa 0.6.7 Pippa is a free Mac helper for paperwork and small chores. Drop a letter, a PDF, a folder or a few photos on her, or ask her something, and she hands back the result: one PDF ready to send, what a letter wants from you and by when, a tidy folder, a reply draft in Mail. Her built-in AI runs on your Mac: no account, no subscription. **You need** a Mac with Apple silicon (M1 or later) and macOS 26.2 or later. **Download** `Pippa.dmg` below, open it and drag Pippa to Applications. Photo and PDF actions work before AI setup. For AI chat on a Mac with 16 GB of memory or more, Pippa asks before downloading about 5.4 GB; smaller Macs can use an online AI. **New in Pippa 0.6.7** - **Follow-up questions on Pippa Island.** Ask "And what about chapter 6?" right after an answer and Pippa remembers what you were talking about. The field says **Follow up…**; the pencil next to it (⌘N) starts something new instead. …
