I've started working on a similar project in November 2024, but the idea was to make it look more like an extension for macOS Terminal app. As I often forget some bash command, like resetting last Git commit, and end up Googling how to do it, which is annoying.
Then I thought why not to make it work with other apps too, like a standalone popup, so I build Inset :)
The popup itself is inspired by the one that's in Cursor. And it allows you to switch between models, save presents for prompts you use often.
It has different modes - quick question and insert. The quick question mode helps you answer any question about the current app (you can toggle Camera icon to send screenshots of it to AI provider), basically if you're in Photoshop, you can ask it for step by step instructions to do something and it just works.
The Insert mode is useful as it inserts the output texts directly in the input field of your app. So like you can select some text in Notion, ask Inset to reformat it and it will do it directly in the app.
It works on any application or website. I tried to make it fast, lightweight and privacy-first. At the moment the app is on macOS only.
I have a ton of ideas how to make this app even better. I'd love to add an Agent mode in there too so that it would be able to move mouse cursor, type something, switch apps, etc. for you!
You can find the app at https://useinset.com It costs $10/mo, and there is a free trial available!
Any feedback is much appreciated!
