Cai

Cai transforms your macOS experience by enabling instant, context-aware actions from any selected text or image. Key capabilities include: • Execute custom prompts and scripts • Create GitHub issues and Linear tickets • Perform image-to-text (OCR) conversions • Summarize, translate, and fix grammar • Support for local and remote language models This free and open-source tool operates entirely locally by default, ensuring your data remains private. It comes bundled with Ministral 3B for immediate use without any setup, accounts, or cloud dependencies. For enhanced performance, it leverages HuggingFace MLX models for Apple Silicon, and can connect with Ollama, LM Studio, Apple Intelligence, or OpenRouter for broader model access. Cai functions as an intuitive action layer, making it distinct from traditional clipboard managers or chat applications by directly processing your selection inline. Designed for developers, writers, and anyone seeking to streamline their digital interactions, Cai eliminates app-switching and integrates seamlessly into your workflow. Whether you need to quickly generate a reply, log a bug, create a calendar event, or run a custom script on highlighted code, Cai provides a powerful, single-keystroke solution. Extend its functionality further by building your own actions with custom prompts, shell scripts, URL searches, and community extensions, routing results to any destination.
