ChatGPT, but with context from your tabs, meetings, and docs
Waylight is now available on Apple Silicon Macs! That includes all Macs and MacBooks made after 2020, and some made in 2020. Waylight is an AI assistant that understands everything you do on your computer — your meetings, documents, tabs, and messages. It builds a private memory of your activity so you can ask questions about anything you’ve seen and get instant, accurate answers. Waylight organizes your life, automatically generating a to-do list and daily journal based on your activity.
Hey Product Hunt! I’m excited to share Waylight: an AI assistant that already knows and understands your Google tabs, Zoom meetings, and Word documents. It is now available for Macs/MacBooks with the M chip, which includes all those made after 2020.
In the coming weeks, Waylight will be available on Windows and Macs with the Intel processor. If you'd like to get notified when that happens, you can sign up on the website (https://waylight.ai/download).
I started building Waylight after I became tired of constantly copying and pasting context in ChatGPT, and re-explaining things to it. I was surprised that AI assistants have not become more personalized.
Waylight creates a private, on-device memory of what you’ve viewed on your computer — your meetings, documents, tabs, messages, and more — so you can ask about anything you’ve seen and get instant, accurate answers.
Here are a few examples of what you can ask:
- “What did I agree to in that meeting yesterday?”
- “Summarize the PDF I had open earlier.”
- “Find the article I was reading last week.”
- “Summarize the tabs I had open during that research session.”
Waylight is 100% private; everything stays fully on your device, and nothing is uploaded or shared. It uses a tiny AI model that runs directly on your computer.
In addition to chatting, Waylight automatically generates a to-do list and a daily journal entry at the end of each day, which summarizes what you were working on.
I’d love your thoughts, questions, and feedback. If you have ideas for use cases you want Waylight to support, drop them below!
