Everywhere

Everywhere is an open-source AI assistant for desktop environments that provides on-screen awareness to help users interact with content across different applications. It serves as an alternative to traditional chatbot interfaces by eliminating the need to manually copy and paste text or take screenshots to provide context to a large language model. By integrating directly with the operating system, it allows users to maintain their workflow without switching windows.

The application is available for Windows and macOS. It functions as an overlay that users trigger via global system hotkeys, allowing the AI to perceive the active window and structured environment data to provide immediate assistance. Typical use cases include summarizing long technical articles, translating foreign text in real time, or analyzing error messages appearing in other software to find a resolution.

Key features

Built with Avalonia and .NET, the software uses a strategy engine to identify the current application scenario and suggest relevant actions based on the active app. This architecture is designed to reduce the friction of switching between a workspace and an AI tool, aiming to keep the user in a state of flow. The assistant can act as a troubleshooting expert for system errors, a translator for research literature, or a drafting tool to refine the tone of professional emails. It is designed for users who need an agent capable of acting across various desktop applications using a variety of API endpoints.

Everywhere is positioned as a productivity layer for users who require an AI agent with direct access to their desktop context and system tools.
