BoltAI
All AI Models in One Native Mac App
Description
BoltAI is a native macOS application developed to boost productivity by integrating various large language models (LLMs) and AI services into a single, streamlined interface. It allows users to seamlessly switch between different AI providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Ollama (for local models), Perplexity, Google Gemini, Azure, and XAI, directly from their Mac.
The tool facilitates interaction through an intuitive chat UI, powerful AI commands for specific tasks, and an AI Inline feature for accessing assistance within any text field across macOS applications. BoltAI supports advanced capabilities like GPT-4 Vision and Code Interpreter via file attachments, the creation of custom AI assistants tailored to specific roles, and includes a library of prompts for efficient use. It emphasizes speed and native integration, offering a performant alternative to web-based or Electron apps, while prioritizing security through Apple Keychain storage for API keys and optional automatic redaction of sensitive data, ensuring user privacy with direct communication to AI providers and local data handling.
