Chat User Interface

Native support for Markdown & Codeblock

Advanced Theme Customization

Your chat is fully customizable: light/dark mode, font size, custom font, custom color scheme for code blocks...

Hotkey & Shortcuts

Power users can invoke AI even faster with better keyboard shortcuts

Voice Input

Tired of typing, use voice-to-text for a hand-free experience

Read Aloud

Have a hand-free, conversational AI experience

Native drag-and-drop

Drag and drop images to save them, or to use with a vision model (such as GPT-4 Vision)

High Performance

Most native ChatGPT apps struggle to render real-time, markdown chat message.

I did a quick benchmark for a few popular AI chat apps such as MacGPT, Machato, Fly AI... and all of them reach 100% CPU real quick.

After 2 major rewrite, BoltAI lowers the CPU usage to below 30% during real-time live chat rendering.

You can test it yourself. Just ask the AI app to rewrite a long article.

Demo: 60 FPS on a long list

Chat Context Management

AI Assistant
