What you get

You get AI help without leaving the app you're working in.

With BoltAI 2, you can ask for help while staying in your current Mac app. Select text and trigger a saved prompt with a keyboard shortcut, so you can revise a passage or ask a question without opening another browser tab.

You can give your questions context by adding documents, images, screenshots, or selected text. That lets you ask about the material in front of you rather than describe it from scratch. For recurring tasks, you can save assistants with your preferred instructions and model choices, then reuse prompt templates and workflow actions instead of typing the same directions each time.

You also get local conversation storage by default, and your conversations aren't used for training. If you're moving from another tool, you can import chat history to keep earlier discussions available.

  • Stay in your current app

    You can run AI prompts on selected text with a keyboard shortcut, avoiding repeated trips to a browser.

  • Ask with context

    You can attach files or screenshots so your questions refer to the material you're actually working with.

  • Repeat less setup

    You can reuse saved instructions, assistants, and prompt templates for tasks you do often.

  • Keep your chat history

    Your conversations stay local by default, and you can import earlier chats from other tools.

Best for

  • You frequently ask AI to revise selected text
  • You need answers about documents or screenshots
  • You repeat the same AI tasks across Mac apps

Skip it if

You probably don't need it if occasional AI chats in a browser already meet your needs.

From the developer

BoltAI is a native AI client for Mac. Instead of opening a browser tab every time you need ChatGPT, you trigger it with a hotkey, use it right where you are, and get back to work. Keyboard shortcuts, inline actions, and custom prompts — AI that fits into your day, not around it.
