Select-to-Ask — the chat already knows what you are looking at
Option+A opens a chat with your selection attached and the first answer already being written. Option+A does the same with web search on.
Every chat with an assistant starts with you re-explaining the context that is already on your screen.
aiCat sends the context for you. You start at the second message.

Paying per question instead of per month
A general assistant costs about $20 a month whether you ask it forty questions a day or two a month. Most people are somewhere in the middle and paying the same as the heaviest user.
Here a question is a few coins, the model is chosen per question rather than per plan, and a month with no questions in it costs nothing.

Frequently asked
Can I chat with any text text in any app?
Yes — aiCat reads the selection at the OS level, so it works in native apps, browsers, IDEs, terminals and PDF readers.
Is chat with any text free?
The Free plan includes everything aiCat does, with 10 aiCatCoins per month. Think More and read-aloud start at Premium, which starts from $6/month.
Which AI model does it use?
By default the cheapest model that is good enough — currently Gemini Flash Lite, falling back to Gonka. You can pick Gemini Pro, Claude, GPT or a local model instead, per task.
Does aiCat work in every application?
Yes. It works at the operating-system level rather than through per-app plugins, so it covers native apps, browsers, IDEs, terminals and PDF viewers alike.
Is my text sent anywhere?
Only the text you explicitly act on is sent to the model you selected, for that one request. Your history is stored locally on your device. Team + Offline can run a local model so nothing leaves the machine at all.
