🎁Invite friends, earn credits

ORION's referral program is here. When a friend subscribes with your link, you get 155 bonus credits and they get 100 to start. Your credits arrive as soon as your friend's first payment goes through, are valid for one year and are used when you talk with ORION Architect.

• Find your link in Settings → Profile and tap Copy referral link, then send it however you like. Your friend sees who invited them and what they'll receive.
• Track your invitations on the new My referrals page: how many people opened your link, signed up and subscribed, and the credits you've earned.
• On the free plan? Your bonus credits are added to your account and you can use them right away, no subscription needed. Whatever is left moves to your credit balance when you subscribe.
• Already a member? If you created your ORION account on or before 11 October 2026 (11:59 pm Pacific Time), a new subscription comes with 155 bonus credits, valid for one year.
• Ask ORION Architect: type /refer to get your link, or /referrals for a quick summary.

🪪Introducing profiles

Tell people who you are, and choose exactly who gets to see it. Add a display name, a short bio and your links: up to three websites, plus Facebook, X, Instagram and LinkedIn.

• Private: other ORION users see only your picture and @username.
• Everyone on ORION: anyone signed in to ORION can see your full profile. Nobody outside ORION can.
• Public: anyone with the link can open it, even without an ORION account. It always shows your picture, display name and @username, and you choose whether your bio and your links appear there too.
• Viewing someone else's profile: when you start a new chat, ORION shows the person's profile first; tap Send a message when you're ready. In a group chat, open the chat details, tap the three dots next to a username and choose View profile.

🎥Calls on ORION's own call service

Every call you start from a chat, one-to-one or in a group, now runs on ORION's own call service, built and tested for large groups.

• A tidier toolbar with the controls you actually use, plus backgrounds for your camera.
• Sharper from the first second: video opens in HD.
• Minimize the call to keep chatting, and when you hang up, ORION takes you straight back to your chat.

🛡️Run your group's calls

Group owners, admins and moderators get a moderation panel: see who's in the call, mute someone, or remove them.

🔴Record your calls

In group calls, owners, admins and moderators can record; in one-to-one calls, either person can. When recording starts, everyone in the call is told. Afterwards the recording appears in the chat's new Recordings tab, ready to watch or download.

🔒How your calls are protected

Calls are encrypted between your device and ORION's servers, which process the audio and video to deliver your call and make recording possible. Calls aren't end-to-end encrypted like your chat messages, which stay end-to-end encrypted, as always.

🖼️Images are almost twice as fast

ORION Architect now creates images with a new-generation image engine. Your image is ready in close to half the time, every image is made at the high-quality setting by default, and each one costs the same number of credits as before, or slightly fewer. Try it: type /imagine followed by what you'd like to see.

🎧Voice replies you can trust

The length shown on a voice reply now matches the real audio: the progress bar runs right to the end and you can skip anywhere in the message. And when the voice service is slow, ORION now retries quickly instead of leaving you waiting for minutes.

📚Clearer answers about sources

When ORION Architect draws on its library, it is now clearer about whose words it is quoting, and keeps you and the author distinct.

🌐Link previews

Link previews are more reliable and safer. A preview appears when a site can show one. When a site can't, your message still goes out straight away, and the Links tab in each chat lists your links correctly.
