pip

Pip is a macOS AI companion that sees your screen on request, answers by voice, and circles the exact control to click. It teaches in any app without plug-ins, with a free tier of 30 questions a month.

Pip is a desktop companion for macOS that sits beside the cursor and helps people get unstuck inside other software. Instead of asking users to describe what is on screen in a chat box, it looks at the screen when asked, answers in a short spoken sentence, and circles the control that matters. The user holds a hotkey, asks out loud or types a question, and Pip points at the right panel, button or menu. The core idea is teaching rather than automation. Pip points and the user clicks, so the person stays in control and learns the layout as they go. When a task takes several clicks, it follows along and locates each next step on the Mac itself. The homepage demos show this in a video editor, where it guides someone to a transition effect, in a terminal, where it suggests a command and explains what it does before return is pressed, and in a design tool, where it finds an export control. Because it reads the screen the way a person does, it needs no per-app plug-in and works in system settings, browsers, spreadsheets and creative tools alike. Beyond guidance, Pip can handle small system tasks on request, such as adjusting volume, setting timers, arranging windows, adding reminders, checking a calendar or email, or sending a text. Actions that send or delete wait for confirmation. A paid tier adds voice typing in the terminal for Claude Code and Codex. The product says it only captures the screen when prompted and does not store screenshots, and it publishes a privacy page describing what is sent to speech, model and voice services. It suits beginners learning professional apps, people nervous about the command line, and anyone who loses time hunting through menus. Compared with general chatbots, its advantage is that guidance happens on the screen itself. Compared with agents that take over the mouse, it trades hands-off automation for transparency. It requires macOS 14.2 or later, and the founder describes the product as early.
