How it uses iPhone Duo

According to the release notes for version 2.2.44 (October 18, 2026), Chat, Home, Notes, Settings, Compare and Live Conversation "use two columns on the open screen" of iPhone Duo, so the 7.6-inch inner display shows more at once. The developer does not describe a specific outer-display or half-open layout. We have not yet tested Ask Watch AI on a device.

What’s New

Version 2.2.44 ·

• Maps and location — tell your AI where you want to go and it opens Apple Maps for you; it can also use where you are to answer. Works in chat and voice on iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac and in CarPlay. Your location is shared only when you allow it, in Real-Time Context → Location & Maps for AI. • Notes work with more AI models — search and save your notes with models from xAI, Mistral, DeepSeek, Groq, OpenRouter, Perplexity and more, using your own key. • Azure AI Speech — a new voice for reading answers aloud on iPhone, CarPlay, Apple Watch, Apple TV and Mac. Add your own Azure key, pick a region and a voice. • iPhone Duo — Chat, Home, Notes, Settings, Compare and Live Conversation use two columns on the open screen. Previously in v2.2: • Perplexity with your own key works with newly created API keys again — AskWatch now uses Perplexity's new Agent API, with web sources as before. • Apple Watch is easier to use on small screens: larger tap areas in the Medium and Compact layouts, Templates as an icon next to the main button, Voice Chat shows "Listening…" in Compact and fits 40 and 41 mm watches in the Large layout, and a swipe to the right closes it. • OpenAI Live — the first true full-duplex voice model on your Apple Watch, iPhone, Mac and in CarPlay. It listens while it speaks: interrupt it mid-sentence, ask it to search the web, control your home or save a note, and the conversation keeps flowing. Make it your own — 13 voices, three GPT-5.6 models behind it and your own opening line — with your OpenAI key (BYOK). • Notes — a private notebook your AI can search, save to and edit by voice, on iPhone, Apple Watch, Mac and in CarPlay, and only with the models you allow. • Apple Watch complications work again on watchOS 10 and 11 (Series 4, Series 5 and SE 1st generation). • Gemini 3.8 Live — Live Conversation with Google on its newest real-time voice model, with Home Assistant control, notes and web search; automatic on a subscription, or pick it under Google → Live Conversation → Model with your own key. • Web search in Live Conversation — Gemini Live and Grok Voice search the web while you talk; one switch per provider and device. • An assistant that opens in your words — write your own greeting for Live Conversation, or leave it empty for the default in your language. • Z.ai — the 14th provider: nine GLM models with your own key; GLM 4.7 with Plus, GLM 5.2 with Ultra. • Sources under web answers — the numbered pages behind an answer, with Perplexity, OpenRouter, Anthropic and OpenAI. • Live Conversation — real-time voice chat with OpenAI, xAI (Grok) and Google (Gemini); bring your own key, pick your voice and model. • Grok voices — natural-sounding voices from xAI (Grok) to read AI answers aloud (BYOK) • Action Button — start AI from the iPhone side button or the Apple Watch Ultra Action Button • Model picker on Apple Watch — the watch keeps its own choice, and your pick travels between iPhone and Apple Watch • Live captions — OpenAI gpt-live-transcribe writes your words while you are still speaking (BYOK) • Piper Cloud in five more languages — Russian, Korean, Hindi, Indonesian and Hebrew, no API key needed • Exchange rates in your own currency — pick it in Settings → Finance • Apple CarPlay — voice AI assistant while driving

About this app

Ask Watch AI, from mobilComm Ltd, is a voice-first AI assistant that runs on Apple Watch, iPhone, Mac and in CarPlay. It does not lock you into one model: you bring your own API keys for providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Perplexity, xAI, Groq and DeepSeek, or connect your own OpenAI-compatible server such as Ollama. There are three ways to talk to it: a hands-free voice chat that keeps listening, a dictation mode where you read the answer, and push-to-talk. Live Conversation adds real-time voice with OpenAI, Google and xAI models. Answers can be read aloud with a choice of voices, and web search can enrich answers with sources from supported providers. A private notes feature lets the assistant search and save notes, and a Compare view sends the same question to several providers side by side. It also works as a Home Assistant remote, with voice control for lights, climate and scenes and a live dashboard, and it can open Apple Maps for directions when you allow location access. Watch complications, widgets, Siri Shortcuts and the Action Button give quick access. The app is free to download, with in-app purchases; with your own keys you pay providers directly for what you use.
