surprise neubot update because I’m bored: 2026.06.30!
Even better Home Assistant - Home Assistant integration just got more useful! Ask what the temperature is in the living room, or if anyone's at the front door. Lights and switches now have new widgets allowing you to control them manually without asking neubot again.
Conversational Awareness - You can now ask neubot to turn the lights on, then ask it to set them to a different colour without repeating the name.
More Conversational - neubot is now more conversational with friendlier responses and better understanding of your requests.
Personal Context - Responses can now be more personal, now that neubot has access to your name and email. You can ask neubot to turn the lights off in your bedroom, and it uses your personal context to determine the correct room.
JoshAtticusID - JoshAtticusID has been added back as a sign in option.
Show Mode Removed - Show Mode [BETA] has been removed due to lack of functionality and very little usage.

By The Wasted Onion: Lawmakers Think They Can Muzzle The Wasted Onion, They're Correct
When I first took the helm of The Wasted Company in 1856 after defeating my father in pancreas-to-pancreas combat, I swore to make the world a worse place. We accomplished this by offering an endless stream of hacked-up news slurry via our all-powerful newsroom at The Wasted Onion, powered by the bones of dead children. That is now under threat. The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee has passed the NO FAKES Act, putting it one step closer to becoming law. The bill would create a broad property right for a person's disgusting look, harsh voice, and general tasteless style. While that might sound wonderful to you simple-minded plebs, it actually threatens to undermine First Amendment-protected speech. U.S. lawmakers may think they muzzle our truth-telling death-march, and they would be correct in their assessment.
