- Mac users working across AI chat and coding tools
- Worth noticing
- Voice uses Apple's dictation by default or OpenAI with the user's own API key.
Field notes
The displayed shortcuts cover continue, test, fix, undo, stop, and custom phrases; separate controls can explain selected text or a screenshot. Holding fn starts speech input, which the page says uses Mac dictation unless the user supplies an OpenAI key. macOS requests Accessibility permission, the download is not yet notarized, and the physical Pad and Pro tier are not presented as available now.
