About BoltAI

Full description:

BoltAI is a native AI workspace for Mac. It connects to AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Azure, Amazon Bedrock and more, with your own API keys or your ChatGPT subscription through Codex, so you can switch models in one app instead of juggling browser tabs.

BoltAI 3 adds agents that get work done on your Mac. Browser Use works in Chrome, Computer Use works in the Mac apps you allow, and Agent Skills teach BoltAI new tasks. BoltAI 3 also runs local AI models on your Mac, with no account or API key.

Projects and reusable agents keep long-running work organized. You can attach PDFs, documents and EPUB books, search the web with no API key, make and edit images in Image Studio, and connect MCP tools. AI Workflows fix, rewrite or summarize text in any app, and BoltAI works from Raycast, Alfred and the bolt command-line tool.

Chats stay on your Mac unless you turn on Cloud Sync, and are never used for training. You can protect your API keys with a master password.

BoltAI is built natively for macOS with SwiftUI and AppKit, and runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
