Blue

Blue is a sophisticated, privacy-first AI assistant designed specifically for macOS users. It seamlessly integrates the power of advanced AI models like GPT-4o and GPT-3.5 Turbo into your entire operating system, eliminating the need to constantly switch to a browser tab. Built for professionals, Blue prioritizes data security and workflow efficiency, allowing you to interact with an AI that understands the context of your work directly on your screen.

The core of Blue's intelligence lies in its proprietary AppVision technology. This feature allows the AI to 'see' and understand the content currently displayed on your screen, whether it's code in your editor, data in a spreadsheet, or text in a document. This contextual awareness enables Blue to provide highly relevant, accurate, and instant assistance without you needing to copy and paste or manually describe the situation. It's designed to be an ever-present partner that enhances your existing applications with a new layer of intelligence.

How to use Blue

Getting started with Blue is designed to be effortless, integrating directly into your natural workflow. First, download and install the native application on your Mac (requires macOS 12.6 Monterey or later). Once installed, Blue is always just a keypress away. Simply press Option + Space from within any application on your Mac to bring up the Blue chat interface. The AI will automatically have the context of your active window thanks to AppVision. You can then ask it to perform a variety of tasks, such as summarizing the visible text, explaining a complex code block, translating a paragraph, or brainstorming ideas based on your current work. You can toggle AppVision on or off at any time for full control over your data.
