Sky

Sky is a macOS-native AI assistant that floats as a persistent overlay on your desktop, ready to interpret natural language commands and take action within any application. Unlike traditional voice assistants or chatbots, Sky understands the context of what's on your screen—the document you're editing, the code in your IDE, the email you're composing—and can execute tasks like formatting text, searching files, controlling system settings, or generating content without requiring you to switch windows or copy-paste. Designed for power users, developers, writers, and anyone who spends significant time on a Mac, Sky aims to reduce friction by letting you work through conversation rather than menus and hotkeys. It uses large language models to parse intent and can integrate with your existing apps via accessibility APIs and custom plugins. What sets Sky apart is its deep OS-level integration and its recent acquisition by OpenAI, signaling a future where personal AI agents become first-class citizens on desktop operating systems. The company's vision is software that is both easy to use and deeply customizable—Sky is the first step toward that. Sky is currently in beta, available for macOS only, with a focus on privacy and local processing for many commands. Users can type or speak commands, and the assistant responds with actions or natural language answers. The acquisition by OpenAI suggests upcoming enhancements in reasoning, broader app support, and possibly integration with OpenAI's ecosystem.
