Mr Broccoli

AI worth waiting to hear

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Mr Broccoli is a voice-first AI app for people who value a thoughtful answer more than an instant one. Speak naturally while walking, cooking, driving, or away from a keyboard—or swipe to type. Choose how deeply the AI should reason, follow the visible progress, and hear a clear spoken answer. Longer waits are explained and interruptible instead of being hidden behind a shallow reply. Start privately on your iPhone Choose a supported conversation language and Mr Broccoli assesses your iPhone, recommends a complete local setup, downloads verified AI models, and tests them on the device. After setup, Free conversations, listening, reasoning, spoken replies, history, backups, and manual exports work without a Mr Broccoli account, provider key, or network inference. Unlock deeper control with Premium Premium is a permanent, one-time unlock. Bring your own access to supported AI providers and combine a provider, model, and reasoning level into response modes you can switch from the home screen. Provider usage is billed by the providers themselves; Mr Broccoli adds no token markup. Premium includes: • Uber Mode, where selected models answer independently, challenge one another over configurable review rounds, and synthesize an evidence-led final answer with an inspectable audit • Grounded web search for questions that need current information • Camera and photo prompts, with explicit consent before images are sent to providers • Drive Session for continuing hands-free conversations, including background, headset, and lock-screen controls • Native, on-device, and provider speech recognition and voices, with explicit fallback choices • Custom response length, tone, instructions, speech delivery, and per-conversation voice Keep ownership of your conversations Search and revisit local history, correct a misheard transcript, or branch from any user or assistant checkpoint without losing the original path. Optional on-device knowledge can retrieve relevant excerpts from earlier conversations and show their sources. Mark any conversation Private to keep it out of this index. Export complete app-data backups as readable JSON or passphrase-encrypted files and restore them without replacing existing conversations or API keys. Premium can also maintain readable Markdown copies in a Files or iCloud Drive folder for use with other AI apps. See how each answer was made Expandable receipts show the requested and actual model routes, reasoning effort, context handling, web search, speech route, fallbacks, token usage, and timing. Sanitized diagnostics help troubleshoot configuration without storing credentials or conversation content. Important details The first on-device setup requires internet access to download models, sufficient free storage, and a compatible iPhone. Model availability and performance depend on the device and selected language. Premium cloud features require accounts and API keys from supported third-party providers and may incur provider charges. AI-generated answers can be inaccurate; verify important information.

Mr Broccoli 4.2 brings the newest AI models, better speech, and a long list of reliability fixes. NEW MODELS • GPT-6 Astra, GPT-6 Sol and GPT-6 Luna, with every supported reasoning effort up to Max. • Claude Opus 5.5, Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5.1. • Grok 4.7 and Grok 4.6. • Gemini 3.8 Flash and Gemini 3.7 Flash. • Qwen 3.8 Max, Qwen 3.8 Flash and Qwen 3.7 Flash, with model-specific reasoning controls. • DeepSeek V4.1 Flash, which now also understands images. DeepSeek models add a Low reasoning setting. • OpenRouter adds current versions of GPT-6 Astra, Sol and Luna, Claude Opus 5.5, Opus 5 and Fable 5.1, Grok 4.7 and 4.6, Gemini 3.8 Flash, Qwen 3.8 Max, and DeepSeek V4 Pro and V4.1 Flash. SPEECH • GPT Transcribe is the new default for OpenAI speech input, and Gemini 3.5 Transcribe adds word-for-word transcription. • New Gemini 3.8 Flash and Flash-Lite voices for spoken replies. • Long dictation now keeps every sentence, not just the last one. • System Recognition can be chosen whenever iOS offers it, even when strict offline recognition is unavailable. • Full reply first pauses between paragraphs again, and cancelling reliably stops any queued audio. • Voice previews can now replace a paused spoken reply. • Voices saved for a conversation stay selected when a provider updates its models, and OpenAI's older voice models only show voices they support. WORKSPACE • A cleaner voice and text layout: the arrows, voice orb and composer sit on one line, Image and Hands free move to the edges, and Council and Web stay centred. The composer and send button stay visible on small screens and with the keyboard open. • Adding an answering model no longer leaves Settings unresponsive. RELIABILITY AND PRIVACY • Starting a second recording or Hands free no longer stops a recording already in progress. • Web search keeps usable results, rejects empty answers and cancels stalled responses. Gemini and xAI search no longer ask the provider to store your requests. • Model Council now credits the provider and model that actually answered. • Backup restores and conversation branches report failed saves instead of claiming success. • Locked conversations stay locked if the app goes to the background while one is loading. • The app recovers from temporary storage start-up problems without a restart. • A damaged settings file no longer hides your saved API keys. • Slow requests always end with a clear timeout message. CHANGES • Qwen speech input and output are removed ahead of Alibaba retiring them on October 10. Qwen chat and search are unchanged, and saved Qwen voices switch to your device's built-in speech. • Google now limits Gemini 2.5 to accounts that already used it, so it is no longer offered for new choices. Existing selections keep working, and older Gemini 2.5 voices move to Gemini 3.8 with the same voice. • OpenAI Realtime models are hidden until they are fully supported. Saved selections move to GPT-5.6 Sol or GPT-5.4 mini. • The ElevenLabs built-in fallback voice is now correctly named Janet.
