Reads the active conversation on screen with a local vision model and generates a context-aware reply, so dozens of inquiries get answered in seconds, without anything leaving your machine.
Deep Dive
- Reads the on-screen conversation with a local vision model (an AI that understands images, run through Ollama) — so it needs no special hook into Facebook or Messages; it just reads the screen the way a person would
- Runs that model locally on the Mac, so the conversation never leaves the machine
- Suggests a reply you can edit, then types it into whatever app is in front
- A native Swift menu-bar app (Swift is Apple’s language for building Mac apps)

Where I'm taking it
Phase 1 has shipped; next is personalization, a knowledge base, editable reply rules, and per-contact facts, then a learning phase that improves drafts from past corrections and Messenger history.
