Who it's for

  • Mac users who want a keyboard shortcut to ask AI questions about selected text or images while using desktop apps.
  • Researchers and other knowledge workers who want to ask questions about PDFs or local files and search the web with linked sources.
  • People comparing model responses who want to use multiple AI models from one macOS application.

Not the right fit if…

  • People who need an application for Windows or other non-macOS systems: the page says Haye is currently focused on macOS.
  • Mac users running a system older than macOS Mojave 10.15: the page lists macOS 10.15 or higher as the requirement.

How it fits your workflow

Install Haye on a Mac, register an account, then use the built-in services or configure your own API keys and select a model.

Press Command+E to bring up Haye while working. Ask about selected text, images, PDFs, local files, or desktop apps; web search can return answers with links to sources.

When a single answer is insufficient, request responses from multiple models at once. The page also describes custom chat styles and shortcuts for applying them.
