⚙️ How It Works

• Chatting: Type any question and press Enter. The AI streams its answer in real time with a visible "thinking" phase before replying.
• Live talk: Click the mic/talk button to start a real-time voice conversation. The AI listens and responds with voice, and both sides are transcribed live. Sessions are saved to your history.
• Build & download files: Ask the AI to build something (a script, an HTML page, a small app) and it automatically uses its sandboxed agent terminal, then shows Download buttons for the files it creates.
• Web search: When a question needs live information, the AI automatically searches the internet and includes the results in its answer.
• Run commands: You can ask the AI to run local terminal commands, and it executes them on your machine and shows you the output.
• Files & images: Drag & drop, paste, or click the paperclip to attach screenshots, images, code, or documents for the AI to analyze.
• Voice input: Click the mic button and speak — your words are transcribed.
• Voice replies: Toggle the speaker button and the AI will read its answers aloud with TTS. Multi-language support auto-detects your text language.
• Window & screen capture: Use the monitor button to pick a window — Audio transcribes its sound live, Snap takes a screenshot.
• Screen crop: Use the scan button to crop any part of your screen and send it as an image.
• Split-screen: Press Ctrl + Shift + S to open a second chat panel side by side.
• Quick Run: Press Ctrl + Shift + R to launch in compact input-only mode.
• Transparent mode: Press Ctrl + Shift + X to make the background transparent — only message bubbles float on screen.
• Memory & history: The AI saves important facts about you automatically and remembers them across chats. All conversations are saved, searchable, and auto-titled.
• Run at startup: Enable in Settings to auto-start the app when Windows boots.
• Privacy shield: The window uses WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE (Windows 10 2004+), so it is completely invisible in screen shares, recordings and screenshots.
