v1.0.0 · macOS + Windows
A private AI that floats over everything.
Float AI is a private desktop overlay for macOS and Windows. Bring your own API key — OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Groq, or Mistral — and your prompts go straight to the model. Or let us provide the key and skip the setup entirely.

YOU
// how it works
Three steps. Yours, always on top.
Sign up, install, and summon. Your prompts go straight to the model — bring your own API key or use ours, plans from ₹599/mo.
Create an account & pick a plan
Sign up and choose a plan — bring your own API key for the cheapest tier, or let us provide the key and skip the setup. Plans from ₹599/mo, cancel anytime.
Download & sign in
Grab the build for macOS (.dmg) or Windows and sign in with your account. It launches as a small always-on-top window — your key is stored locally on your machine.
Summon it over any app
Press ⌘⇧Hto show or hide it anywhere. It auto-detects the question from voice or screenshot — no manual typing — and answers on top of whatever you’re doing.
// where your data actually goes
On bring-your-own-key, nothing sits in between
Add your own provider key and your prompts go straight to the model — we never see them, your key, your audio, or your files. Click a provider to see where its key comes from.
AI Provider
Choose the model provider and paste your API key.

Stored on disk · never uploaded by the app
On BYOK there's no Float AI server in the path — it's direct, not proxied by us.
// make it talk like you
Tune the tone, write the brief
Toggle how it phrases things and add your own system prompt — every reply respects them.
Agent Persona
How the AI behaves — tone, voice, and core instructions.
Communication Style
Tweak how AI replies — pick any combination.
Agent Prompt
Core instructions. Empty = built-in default.
// the floating window
Lock it, fade it, keep it discreet
Pin the overlay where you want it and dial the opacity down so it stays out of the way while you work.
Overlay
How the window behaves on your screen.
Lock Position
When ON, the window can't be dragged.
Window Opacity
Lower opacity makes the overlay more discreet.
// what it can capture
Screenshot. Listen. You decide.
Toggle what the overlay is allowed to do — screen capture, live transcription — case by case. Off by default until you opt in.
Features
What the overlay is allowed to do.
Screenshot Capture
Press⌘⇧Sto capture and analyze the screen.
Live Transcription
Transcribe system audio and send to AI. No mic captured.
Every preference saves locally — nothing about your tone or screen leaves the machine.
// knowledge
Give your AI the context
Attach your own files, tag what each one is, and every answer is grounded in your material — not generic guesses.
Context
Upload files AI can reference. Tag each one so AI knows how to use it.
Knowledge
Resume, JD, project specs, intros — anything AI should know.

01Attach
Drop in a PDF, text, or markdown file — or several at once.
02Tag
Label each one: Resume, JD, Intro, Project, or a tag of your own.
03Grounded context
The AI reads them and grounds every answer in your material.
Tags become section headings in the prompt, so the AI knows exactly what each file is.
// bring your own model
Bring the key you already have
Five providers, many models. Switch between them from a picker that auto-saves — no restart, no re-paste. Or skip the setup and use ours on a managed plan.

// features
Everything it does, on top of any app
A focused toolkit — only what actually ships in the app today.
Streaming markdown & code
Answers stream in live with formatted markdown and syntax-highlighted code blocks — copy them straight out.
Screenshot & image analysis
Capture the screen with a shortcut and ask about it. Works with any vision-capable model you've configured.
Live transcription
Toggle on system-audio transcription and let what you hear feed the assistant in real time.
Knowledge files
Upload PDF, TXT, or MD and tag them — Resume, JD, Intro, Project — so the AI grounds answers in your own context.
Local conversation history
Every chat is saved on your disk. Search, rename, and delete past conversations; nothing leaves your machine.
Shape the voice
Tap communication-style pills or write a custom system prompt to set exactly how answers come back.
Plus window UX: resizes to fit, opacity slider, position lock, and per-OS shortcut labels.
// use cases
One overlay, plenty of moments
The same window, grounded in whatever you give it — your files, your screen, what you're hearing.
Interview prep
Upload your resume and the job description as knowledge files, then rehearse answers grounded in your own experience — in your words.
Meetings & calls
Turn on live transcription so the assistant follows along, and pull up context or summaries without leaving the call.
Coding help
Screenshot an error or paste a stack trace and get an explanation plus a fix, with code blocks you can copy.
Research & writing
Feed it source PDFs and notes as knowledge files, then ask, draft, and refine against material it can actually cite.
// shortcuts
Keyboard-first, by design
Global shortcuts work even when the overlay isn't focused.
A full list is also in the app — open the ⌨ Shortcuts panel in the header.
// privacy
Private because there's nothing in the middle
On bring-your-own-key your prompts never touch our servers. Either way, conversations stay on your disk and the overlay stays off your screen shares — honest about what that does, and doesn't, mean.
Your key, your provider
On Bring-Your-Own-Key, prompts go directly to the AI you chose with your own key — nothing routes through us. Managed plans pass through our proxy only to run the model and meter usage.
Local-first storage
Settings, conversations, and knowledge files live on your disk via electron-store. Delete the config file and the app resets to factory state.
Stays off your screen shares
The overlay opts out of screen capture and recording on macOS and Windows using Electron's content protection, so it won't show up when you share your screen.
What this is not: staying off screen shares is OS-level capture exclusion — not encryption, and not a guarantee against every recording, monitoring, or proctoring tool. Your chosen AI provider still receives your prompts under their own policies.
// pricing

// faq
Straight answers
What does it cost?
Plans start at ₹599/month for Bring-Your-Own-Key — you connect your own provider key and pay that provider for usage. Managed plans (₹2,999 and ₹4,999/month) include the model usage, so you don't need a key. There's no free tier.
What's the difference between the plans?
BYOK (₹599) uses your own OpenAI / Claude / Gemini / Groq / Mistral key and keeps prompts fully private. Pro (₹2,999) and Max (₹4,999) include the key and usage — Max adds the highest limits and frontier models like Claude Opus.
Do I need my own API key?
Only on the BYOK plan, where you bring your own. On Pro and Max we provide the key — just sign in and start.
Where is my data stored?
On your machine. Settings, conversations, and uploaded knowledge files are saved locally via electron-store. On macOS that's ~/Library/Application Support/Float AI/; on Windows it's under %APPDATA%. Delete that file to reset the app.
Do you see my prompts?
On BYOK, no — your prompts go straight to your provider with your key and never touch our servers. On managed plans (Pro / Max), requests pass through our proxy so we can run the model and meter usage; we don't sell them or train on them.
Which providers and models can I use?
OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Google Gemini, Groq, or Mistral. Each has several models, and the in-app picker auto-saves when you switch. On BYOK you choose by adding that provider's key; on managed plans the top models are included.
Is it really invisible during screen sharing?
The overlay opts out of screen capture and recording on macOS and Windows via Electron's content protection, so it won't appear in a typical screen share. That's all it is — OS-level capture exclusion, not encryption and not a guarantee against every monitoring or proctoring tool.
