[Feature] Parallel Tool Calling + Web Search Tool + Regex Search Improvements + Image Attachment + OpenAI's Thinking Process + Tool Call Pending Animation

[Froredion]

Why Add These Features

• Parallel Tool Calling → Faster, more efficient workflows.
• Web Search Tool → Access to fresh, external knowledge without leaving the editor.
• Regex Search Improvements → Precise, context-aware navigation in large codebases. Regex search often surfaces too much or too little context, forcing users to manually scroll or read entire files.
• Image Attachment → able to attach image, to the chat input and to existing user messages.
• Thinking Process for OpenAI models → Very useful, since it uses tokens anyways if we hide it or not.
• Tool Call Pending Animation → When Void is executing a tool call, the "..." disappears — would lead people to think the AI stalled, since tool call pending sometimes especially for MCPs take 1-5 seconds..

Together, these features make Void Editor a faster, smarter, and more developer-friendly environment.

Hi everyone 👋, I’m Erickson, Founder of SuperbulletAI, the Roblox AI Game Builder.

I’ll attach a pull request once I start working on this, but if anyone wants to kick off the project or collaborate on this update in the meantime, I’d love to join forces.
From time to time, my team and I will also contribute many improvements here since the workflow between SuperbulletAI and Void overlaps quite a lot 😄.

Cursor also already do parallel tool calling and thinking process, for reference.

IMPORTANT:

1. Use Exa for "Web Search Tool"
   • Much cheaper
   • Users can bring their Exa API
   • Much more powerful and efficient, due to it being a semantic search engine and easy-to-add
   • In my case, I had a hard time implementing web search tool because annotations are hard to retrieve using /completions endpoint.
