Navi · in AimiChat for Mac and Windows

The assistant that lives on your desktop.

Navi sits at the edge of your screen and takes care of the small things: your files, your lists, your apps, your day. Say “Hey Aimi” or press Ctrl Shift Space, and ask the way you’d ask a person.

Hi, I’m Navi. I live down here, at the edge of your screen.

See what you can ask Navi

DemoNavi finds the file on your computer and reads it with your question.

new in navi

Built into your computer.

Navi now works inside every app you use: the text you’re writing, the screen in front of you, the windows you’ve got open. Try a shortcut on this page to see which tile it opens.

Fix text in place

Select text in any app, check the changes, and it’s replaced right where it was. Or make it shorter, clearer, more formal, or in another language.

CtrlShiftY

Snip and ask

Drag over any part of the screen and ask about it. Copy the text in it without any AI.

CtrlShift2

Dictate anywhere

Talk into any text box. Say “comma” or “new line”; the ums are taken out.

CtrlShiftD

Clipboard history

Ask for what you copied in plain words. Encrypted on your computer; passwords and codes are never kept.

CtrlShiftH

Instant answers

Sums, units, today’s exchange rates and the time anywhere, as you type.

Arrange windows by asking

Halves, quarters, the other screen. Say “undo” and they go back.

Snippets

Type a short trigger in any app and it becomes your saved text. ;reply and ;tldr write it for you.

Focus sessions

Navi steps aside and holds your reminders, then recaps what you got done.

Meeting notes

A summary, decisions and action items from the call. The audio isn’t kept.

Record a how-to

Do it once; get a step-by-step guide with a screenshot of every click.

Pin it on screen

Keep an answer or a snip floating on top while you work.

Switches, just by asking

Dark mode, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and the battery. Emptying the bin asks you first.

From your phone

Share anything to AimiChat from your phone, and get a notification when a task you sent your computer is done.

Also new: start routines when you open an app, plug in or unlock; reply to Navi’s bubbles; Send to → AimiChat in File Explorer and Ask AimiChat in the Mac Services menu.

a day with navi

From the first coffee to the last tab.

  1. “Hey Aimi, good morning.”

    Your meetings, what’s due and what’s on your lists, read out while the kettle boils.

  2. “Focus for 90 minutes.”

    Navi tucks itself away and holds your reminders. When the time’s up, a recap of what you worked on.

  3. “Take meeting notes.”

    The summary, the decisions and who does what, with action items one click from your to-do list.

  4. Snip a chart, ask what changed.

    Drag over it, ask your question, and pin the answer next to the spreadsheet.

  5. Fix the email before it goes.

    Select the draft, check the changes, and replace it right in Mail or Gmail.

  6. “The link I copied this morning.”

    Found in your clipboard history, kept encrypted on your computer.

  7. From the sofa, on your phone.

    Send a task to your computer and get a notification when it’s done.

  8. Goodnight, Navi.

    Your lists, notes and history stay on your computer, ready for tomorrow.

what navi does

Small things, handled.

Ask in your own words. Navi works out what you mean: a file, a list, an app, your calendar, or just a question for Aimi.

private by design

Your computer stays yours.

Navi does as much as it can on your computer, and tells you plainly when something goes further.

What Navi can seeSettings → Desktop → Navi

Everything starts off. Navi sees nothing you haven’t switched on.

Lists, reminders and notes On this computer
  • Files are found on your computer. Navi uses Windows Search or Spotlight. A file only leaves your computer when you ask about it, attached to your question like any other attachment.
  • It watches only what you pick. Clipboard, calendar and the app in front are each a switch, and all of them start off.
  • Notes stay local. Lists, reminders and what Navi learns about you are kept on your computer, in plain view and editable in Settings. Clipboard history is encrypted, and passwords, card numbers and codes are never saved.
  • Meetings leave notes, not recordings. The call is sent in short pieces to be turned into text as it goes, and the audio isn’t saved. Only the notes you keep are.
  • Choose its brain. Navi’s small background jobs can run on AimiChat, on your own model with Ollama, or with your own key. Or leave it off.
you decide

As present as you want.

Pick one when you first open the app, and change it any time in Settings → Desktop → Navi.

  1. Assistant

    Sits on your screen and offers help with the things you let it see, like a copied error or an upcoming meeting.

    Recommended
  2. Floating helper

    Stays on your screen but only helps when you click it. It never watches anything.

  3. Quiet

    No floating Navi. Open the bar with the shortcut or “Hey Aimi” when you want it.

questions

About Navi.

How do I get Navi?

Navi comes with the AimiChat desktop app for Mac and Windows. Install it, sign in, and Navi says hello the first time you open it. It’s free with any AimiChat account; answers from Aimi use your plan like any chat.

Do I have to say “Hey Aimi”?

No. Press Ctrl Shift Space (⌘ Shift Space on a Mac) to type, or click Navi. To use your voice, turn on Listen for “Hey Aimi” in Settings → Desktop. The wake phrase is detected on your computer.

Does Navi upload my files?

Searching never uploads anything: Navi asks your computer’s own search index. When you ask a question about a file, that one file is attached to your question, the same as attaching it yourself in AimiChat. Programs are never opened from Navi.

Can it read every kind of file?

PDFs, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CSV, text, Markdown and images up to 15 MB. For anything else, such as a video or a Keynote file, Navi tells you why it can’t read it and offers to open it instead. Scanned PDFs with no text in them are flagged so you get an honest answer.

What can it control on my computer?

Opening and switching to installed apps, arranging windows, play, pause and skip, volume and mute, dark mode, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and locking the screen. Emptying the bin always asks you first. Anything bigger, like “open YouTube and play lo-fi”, goes to Computer Use, where risky steps wait for your approval.

How does fixing text in another app work?

Select the text and press Ctrl Shift Y. Navi copies the selection, shows the changes it suggests, and pastes the new version over it when you press Replace. Your clipboard is put back afterwards. You can change every shortcut in Settings → Desktop.

Is my clipboard history private?

It’s off until you turn it on, kept encrypted on your computer for 1, 7 or 30 days, and anything that looks like a password, card number or one-time code is never saved. Searching it in plain words happens on your computer too; an item only goes to Aimi if you ask a question about it.

Does it work offline?

Lists, reminders, file search and app control work on your computer. Answers to questions come from Aimi, so they need a connection. With your own model in Ollama, Navi’s background jobs can run fully on your computer too.

Can I turn it off?

Yes. Choose Quiet in Settings → Desktop → Navi, or right-click Navi or the tray icon. Every source it watches is its own switch, and you can delete anything it has noted.
