I'm using Raycast AI (paid subscription) to interact with AI models through the use of hotkeys. It can even act upon selected text.
I've got several hotkeys set up:
- translate (selected text) to English/Spanish/Italian (3 hotkeys)
- fix (selected text) English/Spanish/Italian grammar (3 hotkeys)
- add (selected text) to current chat prompt where I can continue typing
There's also a built-in "Summarize webpage" AI action that I assigned a hotkey to and I can get a nice summary of the currently opened webpage without having to read the whole article.
These save me so much time and help me better my language skills. Especially when fixing grammar. When fixing grammar, it shows you the diff so you can see what you wrote incorrectly and how to write it correctly.
It also allows you to paste the text, from the app window into the last used app simply by pressing ENTER. I also use this a lot.
Slightly off topic: some of the tools in HuggingChat don't work, even one of the official ones (Image Editor):
Error calling tool Image Editor
Parameters
image: output_2_0.webp
prompt: add a smiling emoji
Error
An error occurred while calling the tool edit_image: No API found
Error calling tool TTS (fast)

An error occurred while calling the tool gen_tts_fast: Error: Error: Could not resolve app config.
Yes but you now have the ability to run queries with a shortcut from your Mac, as well as switch to a local model using a dedicated keyboard shortcut. See demo: https://x.com/cyrilzakka/status/1838618605648490974
Congrats! I noticed it was initially closed-source and now it's opened, nice! Is it a project funded by HuggingFace? (Not immediately clear to me).
I've built a macOS assistant too (more advanced though), with focus on privacy and easy of use (https://getfluid.app). I'd love to open-source it, but not sure about sustainability of such business model. Right now I'm experimenting with a fully private paid Llama hosting (for GPU poors).

It's still early in development but supports multimodal and some nice looking code blocks.

Just some feedback.

Good luck :)
