MacCopilot Product Information

MacCopilot - Native Copilot AI for macOS is a native macOS application that acts as an AI-powered copilot, integrating advanced AI models (GPT-4, ClaudeAI, Google Gemini, and more) directly into your screen workflow. It supports seamless screen capture, AI-assisted insights, and content export in Markdown. Designed for macOS 12.0 and later, MacCopilot aims to revolutionize interaction with on-screen content through conversation, visual AI prompts, and streamlined content creation.


Key Capabilities

  • Engage in conversations with advanced AI models directly about your screen content (GPT-4o, GPT-4, ClaudeAI, Google Gemini, etc.).
  • Visual-based interaction: chat with AI models about the current screen view to gain insights, explanations, and creative ideas.
  • Flexible screenshot capture: select any region of the screen using built-in screenshot tools, with optional resizing and reuse of the last selected region for quick captures.
  • Multi-model support: connect to OpenAI GPT-4o, GPT-4-turbo, ClaudeAI (Sonnet, etc.), Google Gemini (Gemini pro 1.0/1.5), Ollama/local LLM servers, Azure OpenAI, and OpenAI API-compatible servers.
  • Cross-platform model integration: OpenAI, ClaudeAI, Google Generative AI, Ollama, Azure OpenAI, and more via Preferences > Models.
  • Built-in Markdown export: export your interactions and capture results as Markdown for easy sharing and documentation.
  • Subscription options: multiple plans including lifetime, monthly, and tiered usage to fit different needs.
  • Local and cloud options: supports local Ollama servers and API-based models for flexible deployment.
