AI at your cursor, for Windows

Ask mid-sentence.
The answer takes its place.

In an email, a Slack message, a Word doc or a web form, type "Let's talk at <<3:30 central in pacific>>." The moment you close the brackets, the question becomes 1:30 PM Pacific, right where you typed it. No window to open, nothing to copy back.

Re: Kickoff call on Thursday · Mail

To: jordan@maplerowevents.example

Hi Jordan,

Thursday works for me. Let's talk at 1:30 PM Pacific. I'll send the invite.

Typed in the email. The answer took the question's place.

Watch it (35 sec)

Works wherever you type

No plugin per app · no browser extension · no chat tab to switch to

The inline lookup

Two brackets.
No trip to another window.

You are mid-email and need a fact, the right word, a polite phrasing or a translation. Normally that means a new tab, a search, a copy and a paste back. Here you just ask, inside the sentence, and keep going.

01

Type << and your question

Anywhere you can type. Nothing happens yet, so you can fix a typo or change your mind.

02

Close it with >>

That last keystroke is the go button. A small "Thinking" strip shows it is working.

03

The answer replaces it

The question and both brackets disappear and the answer sits in their place, glowing for a moment so you can see what changed. Keep typing through it: your words land after the answer.

short on purpose

Answers that fit the sentence

Ask for a capital and you get "Rome", not a paragraph about Italy. Ask for "top 3" and you get a short list in a line. Ask for a bullet list or steps and that is what you get.

Esc

Change your mind

Press Esc while it is thinking and your question stays exactly as you typed it. If an answer cannot be found, the same thing happens, so you never lose words. Click somewhere else while it thinks and the answer is copied for you to paste, never typed in the wrong spot.

clipboard

Bring along what you copied

Copy an email, then type <<reply politely declining, per the clipboard>>. Saying the word "clipboard" hands over what you last copied.

screen

Reply to what you are looking at

In a chat box, <<reply to what's on screen, warmly>> drafts a reply with the conversation in view. It needs an AI that can see pictures.

It only wakes up on the deliberate shape: the << has to start a word, the >> has to be the last thing you typed, and there has to be a word inside. Terminals and code editors, where those brackets mean something else, are left alone out of the box. You can change the brackets and the skipped apps in Settings, Writing tools.

Add a question mark

Start with a question mark.
It asks the live web.

Some answers change: store hours, a price, today's news. Type <<? your question>> and it checks current web results before it writes the answer in. The strip says "Searching" so you know which kind you asked for.

Book club · Messages
Book club moves to the library this week. They are open 10 AM to 5 PM on Saturday, so let's meet at 10:30.
Searching… (Esc cancels)

The library and its hours are made up for this demo. The web search is not.

It works on the included AI with no key, and with your own key on models that can search. On a model that cannot, it still answers, from what the AI already knows.

And for plain numbers

Math, right
where you type.

Sums have their own door. Put the math between two equals signs, like =2*32=, and the closing = swaps it for 64. Plain math is worked out on your own PC, instantly, with no AI and nothing sent anywhere.

Re: Hotel block for the offsite · Mail
Three nights at $189 plus 12% tax comes to $635.04 per room.

No calculator to open, no number to copy back.

=1499*0.85=

Plain math, on your PC

Add, subtract, multiply, divide, powers, brackets and percents. The answer is instant and never leaves your machine.

=100 km in mi=

Units

Miles and kilometers, pounds and kilograms and the rest convert on your PC too.

=100 usd in eur=

Currency at today's rate

Currency uses a live exchange rate, not a number someone typed in last year.

=15% tip on 47.50 split 3=

Sums in words

Math written as words goes to the AI, and the answer still lands in place. Spreadsheets, where = starts a formula, are left alone.

When it is more than a question

Write the request where
the answer should go.

Brackets are for quick facts. For "turn this into a polite reminder" or "make this sound professional", there are two more doors, and both keep you in the app you are already in.

Hi Jordan, quick reminder that the Q4 budget draft is due Friday. Thanks so much!
Enter

End a line with @@ai. Enter runs it, Esc leaves it.

Vendor update · Word
The vendor call has moved to Thursday because the room was double-booked. Sorry for the change.
Ctrl Ctrl

Select, tap Ctrl twice, say what you want.

@@ai

End a line with @@ai

Type a request as a normal line, then @@ai at the end. A small pill shows the line so you can check it. Enter sends it and the answer replaces the line. Esc leaves the line as it was.

Ctrl Ctrl

The inline prompt

Tap Ctrl twice, or press Alt+Shift+I, and type your request right at the cursor. Enter swaps it for the answer. Select text first and the request is about that text: "shorter", "friendlier", "in Spanish".

Enter on empty

Or ask for nothing at all

Open the inline prompt in an empty reply box and just press Enter. It reads the window you are in and drafts what belongs there. Enter puts it in, Esc drops it.

Alt+Shift+F

Tidy the sentence you just typed

Finished a sentence in a hurry? One shortcut cleans up its spelling and grammar in place. Alt+Shift+R runs your favorite rewrite on any selection.

Compose from what you gathered

Collect the pieces.
Type @@snips.

A price in one email, a date in a PDF, a phone number on a web page. Snip or copy each one as you find it, then type @@snips where the message goes. A pill shows what you gathered. Say what you want written, and it lands at your cursor.

Three snips from three windows, one message.

Want one answer out of the pile instead of a whole message? <<snips: the delivery time>> answers from your snips inline, and <<snips:3 …>> looks at only the last three. If your AI can see pictures, screenshot snips count too.

The cheat sheet

Every way in, and what it costs.

All of these are on the free plan. Every shortcut and typed trigger can be changed or switched off in Settings.

Type or pressWhat happensPlan
<<question>> The answer replaces the question, right where you typed it Free
<<? search>> Same, answered from live web results Free
<<snips: …>> Same, answered from what you snipped and copied Free
=2*32= The result replaces the sum; plain math never leaves your PC Free
… @@ai End a line with it and the line runs as a request; the answer replaces the line Free
Ctrl Ctrl or Alt+Shift+I Opens the inline prompt at your cursor, about the selection if there is one Free
@@snips Writes something new from your collected snips, at your cursor Free
Alt+Shift+R / Alt+Shift+F Rewrite the selection / tidy the sentence you just typed Free

Want to speak the request instead of typing it? Hold a key, talk, and the answer is typed at your cursor. That one is part of Pro. See dictation.

What leaves your PC

Only what you put
between the brackets.

The brackets are spotted on your own PC. Nothing is sent until you close a lookup or press Enter on a request.

The question, and nothing around it

For <<3:30 central in pacific>>, the words "3:30 central in pacific" go to the AI. The rest of your email stays on your PC.

More only when you ask for more

Say "clipboard" and what you copied goes along. Say "screen" and a picture of that window goes along. Start with "snips:" and your snips go along. Select text and it rides with your request. Press Enter on an empty prompt and it reads the window to draft a reply.

Your key, your provider

With your own key from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI or OpenRouter, the request goes straight to them. Keys live in Windows' own password store.

Or keep it on your PC

Download the free on-device AI and answers are written on your own machine, with no key and no connection. It is smaller and slower than the big online ones.

Every request the app makes gets a row in the Sent log: where it went and how big it was, never the text. See what it watches

Before you ask

Questions, answered.

Is this really free?

Yes. The lookup, web answers, @@ai, the inline prompt and @@snips are all on the free plan, and the free plan does not expire. They need an AI to answer: with no key, 100 AI actions a month are on us, and with your own key there is no cap from us.

Will it go off while I am typing normally?

No. It only fires when a << starts a word, the >> is the very last thing you typed, and there is a word in between. <<>> and <<123>> are left alone. Terminals and code editors are skipped out of the box, and you can pick different brackets if yours clash.

What gets sent, and where?

Only the words between the brackets, or the request you typed, go to the AI you chose. The clipboard, a picture of the window, your snips or your selection go along only when you ask for them. With your own key, the request goes straight to your provider.

What if I change my mind halfway?

Press Esc while it is working and your question comes back exactly as you typed it. The same happens if no answer comes back. With @@ai, Esc at the pill leaves your line untouched.

Which apps does it work in?

Any Windows app you type into: mail, chat, documents, notes and forms in any browser. It is a Windows feature, not a browser extension, so there is nothing to install per app.

Can I change the shortcuts and triggers?

Yes. The brackets, @@ai, @@snips, the double tap and Alt+Shift+I can all be changed or switched off in Settings, Writing tools.

What about macOS?

Windows first: that's where the deepest integration is possible today. macOS is on the roadmap but not dated.
