@farzatv just dropped something very interesting...

Clicky is an AI buddy that lives right next to your cursor on Mac. It sees your screen, hears your question, and walks you through whatever you’re working on like a friend who’s insanely good at everything.

AI lives in chat tabs. You explain context. It guesses. Slow and broken. Clicky works inside your workflow, no context switching. It sees exactly what you see and guides you in real time.

What stands out:

  • Screen-aware (on hotkey) 👁️

  • Voice-first with spoken responses 🎙️

  • Points directly at UI elements 🖱️

  • Real-time streaming (AssemblyAI + Claude) ⚡

  • Privacy-first (no passive recording) 🔒

  • Free & open-source 🆓

Use cases: learning tools like Blender, DaVinci, After Effects, designing in Figma, writing, debugging, even analyzing stock charts. Possibilities are endless.

This isn’t just another AI chat. It’s a new interface for interacting with AI. If you’re a creator, builder, or someone who learns by doing, this is worth checking out.

@farzatv Well done Farza. Clicky feels like a thoughtful idea, and I like how naturally it brings AI into the workflow. The key will be keeping it helpful without adding distraction or friction.

The constant visibility is the double-edged sword here. I'd want a timed context window, not always-on capture.

Before i try it, somehow I have i feeling that it would be too much of a distruction? or im too old 🫣
