Cortex Desktop is an intelligent work assistant running on macOS with key features including:
- Instant AI access: Users can highlight text in any app and invoke AI for answers or explanations via shortcuts (Ctrl+Shift+A by default).
- context-sensitive: Provide intelligent suggestions based on the content of the highlighted text, such as code explanations, text summaries, or answers to questions.
- Local data processing: All operations are done locally on the device and data is not uploaded to the cloud to ensure privacy and security.
- Seamless workflow integration: Use AI features directly in the current app without switching apps.
- Cross-Application Support: Compatible with most apps on macOS, such as text editors, browsers, and more.
Support for workflow memory and cross-application task automation is also planned for the future.
