# How to fix Accessbility permission

BoltAI requires the Accessibility permission for the AI Command & AI Inline features. If you get the error "Failed to get the highlighted text", it's likely that BoltAI wasn't granted the Accessibility permission.

Follow the steps below to manually grant BoltAI the permission:

1. Quit BoltAI
2. Go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility
3. Remove BoltAI from the list if it exists
4. Click the "Plus" button (+) and choose BoltAI (in`/Applications/BoltAI.app`)

Now restart BoltAI, an optionally the app you wanted to use BoltAI with.
