Ari Helper

• Every picture Ari generates carries its invisible mark now, whatever made it. Only pictures from Draw Things were being marked — the on-device models, OpenAI, Gemini, Grok, Shortcuts and the agentic image tool all missed it. Every one of those marks now. • Pictures you already have get the mark on their way out. Exporting, sharing or dragging a generated picture out of Ari marks that copy as it leaves. What is stored is never rewritten: the conversation's copy stays the record of what the model actually produced. • The mark is invisible where it would otherwise show. Ari writes only into the parts of a picture that have enough detail to hide a mark, and leaves flat colour untouched, byte for byte. An earlier build spread it evenly and left visible blotching across areas of solid colour; that is gone. • The mark survives cropping and re-compression, and now proves itself. It carries a checksum, so a reading either verifies or is discarded — it can no longer report a wrong identifier. Checking a picture tells you whether it has been cropped since it was made, and still recognises marks written by earlier versions of Ari. Resizing a picture removes it. • The slideshow no longer strands you with no controls. Reading the sensitive-content warning for a while and then tapping Reveal All used to leave a slideshow with no Share and no Close, because the controls' idle countdown had been running behind the shield the whole time. Revealing now restarts it, the way every other slideshow control already did.
