Do you think she got the job?

Onit is Cursor's CMD+k, but everywhere on your Mac 👉 getonit.ai

Have you ever copied and pasted an entire Google Doc into ChatGPT to ask a simple question? Never again! Onit now integrates directly with Google Drive. You can add any Google Doc, Sheet, or Slide to your chat with a single click. Better yet, Onit is just a sidebar, so you can chat with AI about your doc without ever leaving Google Docs 🤯 Say goodbye to switching back and forth between Google Docs and ChatGPT! Want to give it a try? Reply “interested” and we’ll send you a download link! People are using Onit+Google Docs to answer questions like: “What does this document say about ” (aka. the cmd-f killer) “Help me come up with ideas for feedback on this doc, make 10 suggestions.” “Help me find areas where I’m using passive voice or other forms of weak language, and offer suggestions for improvement”. “Find complex sentences and help me simplify them for clarity and readability”.

For those of you working in tethered mode, the Onit handle now remembers its position for each app and browser window!

Did you know? You can drag and drop the Onit handle anywhere along the right edge of your screen (or window in tethered mode). Out of the way, but always within reach 🙌

@diabrowser Love seeing more AI tools rethink how we use context. Big fan of this direction 👏 We're building @onit_ai with the same goal!

Meet Dia. Now available for Arc members.

Changelog Thread 🧵 v2.3 is Live! We started a @discord server! Join here: discord.gg/2E8WWkvGYZ Other updates include: • Beautiful new autocontext UI: whenever you switch apps, the autocontext button updates to match the app you’re using. Click the tag, and Onit will automatically read all the text in that app and add it to your context. This is the easiest and most effective way to bring your application context into your LLM without leaving your workflow! • IME typing is fixed (i.e. Pinyin for Chinese, Romaji for Japanese, etc) • Onit will no longer ask to access your keychain every time you launch it 😅 • Lots of important bug fixes. For the latest version, head over to our website (getonit.ai) or hit "Check for Updates" in the Onit menu bar.

What’s the one tool you always need help navigating or remembering shortcuts for?🤔

This or that? 🤔 We’ve been exploring new ways for Onit to live on your screen and recently introduced "Pinned" mode (A) which might be our new favourite... 📌

@joshm @browsercompany Impressive work! 👏 We’re big fans of chatting with tabs too. If you want an AI sidebar that works across ALL your apps (yes, even browsers!) — and it’s open-source — check out Onit 🌟 @onit_ai

An update on our new AI browser, Dia: We just wrapped alpha testing with thousands of college students. Felt like the perfect moment to share a raw @browsercompany update on what’s been going on (including demos). So much to catch you up on…

4/n LOCAL MODE Need top-secret chats? Switch to Local Mode with Ollama—Onit runs 100% offline. Local Mode keeps all data on YOUR Mac. Nothing ever leaves your machine.

3/n AUTOCONTEXT No more manual copying—Onit can automatically read and import text from any app, so nothing slows you down! Note: AutoContext is disabled by default to prevent accidental sharing of personal data. You can start using AutoContext by manually enabling it in the context menu or setting it to load automatically in the Context settings.

🚀 It’s here! We’re launching Onit into public beta! Onit is like Cursor Chat but works anywhere— not just in your IDE. Transform ANY app on your Mac into an AI-powered workspace. Be the first to try it 👉 getonit.ai Features thread 🧵 1/n TETHERED MODE
