Summary:
Koala AI adds GPT-5.2 and Claude 4.5 support
Why It Matters:
The product is moving to more advanced AI models and expanding its suite into a "five-in-one" platform. This suggests they are trying to lock users into their ecosystem by offering more than just a writing tool.
What Changed:
- Added support for GPT-5.2 and Claude 4.5 Sonnet models.
- Introduced a "Five-in-one Platform" bundle including KoalaWriter, KoalaChat, KoalaImages, KoalaLinks, and KoalaMagnets.
- Updated pricing tiers with a new "Essentials" plan starting at $9/month.
- Added a credit usage rule where high-end models (GPT-5.2/Claude 4.5) count as double word usage.
- Launched new high-volume "Scale" plans reaching up to $2,000/month for 10 million words.
- Added new features like YouTube video embedding and Google Sheets integration.
