You may not recognise Wingman AI once you move to our latest version. We have been working HARD on the next iteration and left almost no stone unturned. We don’t want to bore you with too many details, so here is the gist of it:
The biggest news
Rebuilt from the ground up. Discord-style “channels”, easier Settings, Themes (including Light/Dark Modes) and much more comfortable to use.
Finally allowing us to fix these all-time “no-nos”:
-
Auto login. Yeah, for real! We haven’t had to log in again since we built this. You can now also log in via Discord. Oh, and no more passwords, you’ll see!
-
Auto updates! The v3 setup will be the last one you’ll ever have to download and install manually.
- We now have access to
ALL the models immediately, regardless of the provider. There are many new options to try.
-
Proper subscription and account management: Change (monthly) plans on the fly, cancel anytime, delete your account, and you can do all of this on the new wingman-ai.com website, too.
- A
modern image generation model and a completely overhauled avatar generator and Image Generation Skill for your Wingmen.
Your Wingmen no longer forget everything you talked about the next time you restart them. Their memory is also editable.
- Massive performance improvements
In all areas: better and faster transcriptions using NVIDIA Parakeet, faster command execution using a decision model (optional, default: off), faster TTS… all with zero setup and preconfigured.
- HUD overlay and Star Citizen Log Reader
A very cool HUD overlay (by JayMatthew) and Star Citizen Log Reader (by Mallachi), now fully included in Wingman AI Core. You can even use these services in your own Custom Skills. Your Wingmen can now react to in-game events proactively.
- A new and fair usage-based system
You get a budget based on your plan and then you can decide how to spend it. Do you want to use the expensive providers and models? Go ahead! Do you want to build that fully automated and infinite Twitch/Discord/Wingman loop that keeps your Wingmen talking all the time? This is now allowed as well! We also have a new “support model” that handles easy tasks with cheaper models to save tokens, and Wingman AI gives you tips on how to save tokens by using local providers etc.
- There is now
a real “Free” plan with access to almost all features in Wingman AI. Create as many channels and Wingmen as you like. Use all the providers. Try Skills and MCP servers and then decide whether to subscribe or not. Just like any other plan, the Free plan’s quota resets every month, and we even give you hints on how to save tokens and keep using Wingman AI for free.
-
Pro plan users get 10x the usage, Voice Activation and more voices.
-
Ultra plan users get 30x the usage, Voice Activation and even more voices on top. We do not expect any reasonable Ultra user to ever hit the quota limit, but we’re watching the data closely and will adapt our quotas if needed. Ultra should still feel unlimited unless something is really broken.
- Local PocketTTS now supports multiple languages
And not just English. Language selection was improved and simplified significantly, so Wingman AI will no longer detect or answer in the wrong language.
Local voice cloning is also supported: All you have to do is put a sample audio file in a folder and you’re good to go. PocketTTS is local, so using it doesn’t cost you any tokens.
A new program, replacing our old 7-day trial and discount codes. You get a unique ID/URL you can share with your friends, and as soon as they subscribe to any plan, you both get a
usage reset token that never expires and that you can use on any plan.
For developers and vibe coders: excellent agent instructions, allowing you to use your coding agent to create Custom Skills for you. v2 Custom Skills need a migration. Check out our Core repository and tell your AI agent you want to do that, and it will know what to do.
Wingman AI is now available on Windows, macOS (well tested) and Linux (very experimental).
And a ton more
That’s just the biggest news, but there are A TON of other new features and fixes, like:
- StarHead MCP completely reworked and great again
- MCP servers now support OAuth
- Commands can now call Skill functions/tools
- Skills and MCP tools can now be disabled independently
- Full changelogs and feature requests are now integrated in the client and no longer need a separate account
- Translations are much better now
- Way better error logging and reporting, allowing us to help with your support cases more efficiently
- TTS now handles numbers and long outputs way better
Try it now
Now is the best time to try out Wingman AI, or to revisit it if you liked the idea before but couldn’t get it to work properly or were overwhelmed by its options.
