Two of Valence’s most useful tools — Lens and X-Ray — get a calmer, roomier home.
What’s new
- Lens, one tap away. A new lens button sits right next to your model. Tap it to open a window of perspectives — Tutor, Skeptic, Concise, and more — and choose how the AI approaches your next message. The active lens glows in its own color, and the lens button gently pulses so you always know one’s on. Create and edit your own custom lenses right there.
- X-Ray, front and center. Tap X-Ray on any reply and it opens as a full, roomy panel over your workspace — the lens, system prompt, memories, knowledge, abilities, and token cost behind that exact response, all in one place. No more cramped side strip.
- A calmer canvas. Lens and X-Ray used to live in side panels that squeezed your chat. They’re now clean overlays that appear when you want them and tuck away when you don’t — same features, more room to think.
Fixes
- Creating a custom lens now opens the editor reliably.
