baibot got new provider support

Baibot is our conversational AI bot, and this week it got Venice.ai provider support, including full set of capabilities: text, images (vision, create, edit), voice (STT/TTS), web (native search and scraping), and that new provider becomes our recommended one.

Two things make Venice the one we recommend, and they work together. It’s private: inference runs on Venice’s own GPUs or zero-data-retention partner hardware, nothing is stored, so your conversations never linger on a server or end up in a training set. And it’s unrestricted: you set the content policy, not the provider, so you can switch the filter off and the bot will talk about whatever you need, including the adult subjects other hosts are too squeamish to allow. For a bot you might tell something personal, in a moment you need it most, that pairing isn’t a nice-to-have. It’s the whole point, and it’s how we think about hosting at etke.cc.

Baibot’s quick start guide was updated to reflect that.

And now baibot supports 10 providers in total

🦁 Komai: a new native Matrix chat app you can get to love!

We’re excited to introduce Komai, a desktop-first, native Matrix chat app we’ve been building to scratch a long-standing itch. Forked from nheko and rebuilt around matrix-rust-sdk, it’s our humble attempt at making Matrix on the desktop a little better.

A few highlights:

Komai is Linux-only (x86_64) for now, available as AppImage, Flatpak, Snap, and on the Arch Linux AUR. It’s fully Free Software (GPL-3.0-or-later, no CLAs, no contributor gatekeeping), built openly with AI assistance, and good enough to ship. We’re already daily-driving it ourselves. 🦁

Telegram Bridge Update Notes The new Telegram bridge was rewritten from Python to Go, and the new version does not support all the features the same way the old implementation supported. Specifically, Relay mode now done using chat-based configuration, not via predefined bot token bot tokens for old relay mode were removed - you may need to revisit your bridge configuration once migration with that update is finished (we can’t do that from system side). Also we got some reports that in some cases you may need to relogin into the bridge

Service Updates

Notifications And Alerts We rebuilt the notification pipeline that powers Matrix DMs from the Scheduler bot, alert emails, and status indicators in the Ketesa dashboard. The focus was delivery reliability: messages that previously could be silently dropped now retry automatically, and the system handles temporary homeserver unavailability without losing notifications. A few specific improvements you may notice:

  • More reliable Matrix DMs: the bot now correctly reaches users on external homeservers and retries gracefully on failures.
  • More accurate alert emails: several edge cases in overdue detection have been fixed, reducing incorrect or duplicate notifications.
  • Overdue reminders now Cc all server admins: if your server has multiple admin emails registered, all of them receive the reminder, not just the primary billing address.

Ketesa dashboard improvements are already available in nightly builds and on the admin.etke.cc CDN instance. The rest of the changes roll out gradually over the next few days - if you notice anything off with notifications in the meantime, please let us know!

March 2026 Subscription Migration - Grace Period Has Ended Thank you to everyone who has already completed the migration! ❤️

For those who haven’t yet: the grace period we provided throughout March 2026 has now ended, and we have started decommissioning servers that have not been migrated. We want to be clear that we are doing this gradually, respecting each server’s original subscription due date - so you may still have time depending on when yours was due.

If you haven’t migrated yet, please don’t stress - just follow the step-by-step migration guide when you get a chance.

We’d love to keep working with you. If you have any questions or need a hand, we’re always here - just reach out!
