REAL-TIME WEB SEARCH
Every text model is connected to the web. Get current, accurate answers — not just what the model knew months ago.
CITED SOURCES
See exactly where answers came from. Each citation includes a URL so you can verify the information for yourself.
GENERATE & SEND IMAGES
Describe what you want to see, pick your image model, and send AI-generated images directly in your conversation. Add text for captioning or meme creation.
ANALYZE & EDIT IMAGES
Attach any photo to your request and let AI do more with it. Ask text models to describe, analyze, or answer questions about an image. Or pass it to an
image model to edit it, swap styles, change backgrounds, add elements, and more — all without leaving iMessage.
RICH MESSAGE CARDS
Responses appear as clean, tappable cards inside the chat thread — with the model name, response preview, and source count displayed right inline.
OPTIONAL ACCESS TO LOCATION
Allow Bantam to use your location for questions like 'best restaurants near me' or 'weather today' — giving you answers tailored to where you are.
