One AI assistant that plugs ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini into every tab
Switch between GPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Mistral and Llama class models from a single interface instead of juggling separate subscriptions.
Summarize articles, YouTube videos, PDFs and documents in place, then ask follow-up questions grounded in that content.
Draft and reply to emails in Gmail, compose posts and comments for X and LinkedIn, and repurpose web pages or videos into blogs and articles.
Generate images from prompts using more than 20 image models and multiple aspect ratios for web and social output.
AI autocomplete for your entire Mac, running locally and never sending your writing to a server
Faint ghost text completes the word or sentence you are typing right at the cursor. Tab accepts the entire suggestion, the right arrow takes just the next word, and Esc dismisses it so you stay in control.
The model runs on your Mac rather than in the cloud. Typeahead never sends your writing to a server and keeps working offline after setup, which makes it suitable for work email and sensitive documents.
It reads what is on screen and what you copied to the clipboard, so replies fit the thread you are actually answering rather than being generic filler.
Set a voice per app, professional in Mail and friendly in Messages, choose from seven color-blind-safe highlight shades, and tune suggestion timing to instant, balanced or only when you pause.
