+I now support **full conversation history**, **real-time streaming responses** and **dark, readable text formatting**.
+
+## Features:
+1. **Full Chat History** - Complete conversation context is now sent to the AI
+2. **Smart History Management** - Automatically keeps the last ${ MAX_CHAT_HISTORY } messages
+3. **Streaming Mode** (enabled by default) - Watch responses appear word-by-word
+4. **Markdown Rendering** - Proper formatting for code, lists, tables, and more
+5. **Readable Dark Text** - No more eye strain from light gray text
+
+## Try it out:
+- Ask follow-up questions that reference earlier messages
+- Have a multi-turn conversation with full context
+- Ask "what did I just ask?" to test history retention
+- Watch the streaming response in real-time!
+
+> *Tip: You can toggle streaming and markdown using the checkboxes below.*`
