**Neon AI Version 2.0 is here!**
**Upgrade Your Mycroft Mark II OS**
Thank you for being a Mark II user and newsletter reader.
Neon AI version 2.0 brings 40% performance improvements to the leading open source private personal assistant.
We call this “2.0” because we have revamped our entire build process and restructured the installation which makes it easier to apply updates. To achieve these improvements, we made changes to operating system files that can’t be modified with our existing update system, so it is necessary for existing users to [order a Neon AI 2.0 boot drive](https://neonai.square.site/s/shop) ($20 off coupon code NEON2UPGRADE) or [create a new OS boot drive.](https://neon.ai/UpgradeGuideV2.0)
We will support you through the upgrade process - for options, visit [Upgrade Guide - Neon OS V2.0 for the Mark II | Neon AI](https://neon.ai/UpgradeGuideV2.0)

"We’re seeing almost daily improvements to the assistant. It’s very encouraging… -Mike G.
