Summary

Seeva is an AI assistant overlay tool that functions like macOS Spotlight, allowing users to quickly access AI assistance without switching applications. The creator built it to solve the problem of constantly switching between coding and AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude, which disrupted workflow. With a simple keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+Space), the AI overlay appears over any application, enabling users to ask questions and get answers without leaving their current work environment. The tool is described as early-stage and basic but has become essential to the creator's daily workflow.

I was switching to ChatGPT or Claude 20-30 times a day while coding. Open browser, find the tab, describe the problem, copy answer, switch back. Every single time, I'd lose my train of thought.
So I built Seeva. It's simple: press Ctrl+Shift+Space, AI appears over whatever you're doing, ask your question, done. Like Spotlight, but for AI.
It's early. It's basic. But I use it every day now and I don't want to go back to tab switching.
Appears anywhere. Works over fullscreen applications.
