Summary
Crade is a new desktop AI assistant for Mac and Windows that operates as an always-on-top overlay, eliminating the need to take screenshots, switch apps, or copy-paste when asking AI for help. It can see the user's screen and answer questions about bugs, Excel formulas, invoices, or error messages directly in the same window. The product offers a free tier (200 credits/day) and a Pro tier at $7.99/month (1000 credits + smarter AI).
Key quotes
· 3 pulledI built Crade because I got tired of the screenshot-AI dance: take screenshot → switch to ChatGPT → upload → wait → switch back → maybe paste the answer. Every. Single. Time.
So I built a desktop AI that lives as a small overlay always on top of your other apps, already seeing what's on your screen.
Stuck on something? Just type the question right there. The answer appears in the same window, above whatever you're working on. No copy-paste, no tab-switching, no app to open.
