How can we help?
Quick answers to what people ask most.
Dictation
Tap Fn + ⌥ in any app and talk. Your words land where the cursor is. Tap again to stop, or just go quiet and it stops by itself.
Koi needs Accessibility to type into other apps. System Settings, Privacy & Security, Accessibility: switch Koi on.
Yes. Speech is turned into text on your Mac with Whisper, so dictation works without the internet and nothing you say leaves the Mac.
57 languages. Koi works out which one you're speaking by itself.
Whisper Small is built in. Base, which is lighter, and Large v3 Turbo, the most accurate, are a download away in the app.
Talking to Koi
Hold Fn + ⌘ and talk, then let go to send. Koi answers out loud. To type instead, tap Control twice.
Seeing the screen needs Screen Recording. Switch it on in System Settings, Privacy & Security, then in Koi's Settings under Talking with Koi.
On purpose. Koi opens, writes and drafts, then stops before it sends, deletes or buys. It circles the button so you press it.
Your voice, while the call lasts. A picture of your screen goes with each question, unless you switch it to only when you ask, or never. Selected text goes only when you ask Koi to work on it. Nothing said, shown or written is stored.
Record calls
Press Fn + ⌃ on the call. Koi writes down your microphone as You and the Mac's sound as Them, on your Mac. Stop it and the notes become a page.
The Mac's own sound needs Screen Recording. Switch Koi on in System Settings, Privacy & Security, then start the recording again.
No. Koi listens on your Mac, and the audio and video never leave it. Tell the people on the call you're recording: in many places that's the law.
Yes, if you want it to. When a recorded call ends, Koi writes a title, a short summary and your to-dos, as checkboxes at the top of the page. The first time, it asks “Summarize this call?” To change your answer, switch “Summarize my recorded calls” in Settings, under Talking with Koi. Only the transcript's words go to Koi's AI, nothing is kept on the server, and it counts as Koi usage. With it off, nothing from a recorded call leaves your Mac.
Account and billing
Yes, and it's only an email address: a code sent to it, or Google. No password.
In the app: Settings, Billing. Change plan is there, and Manage has your card, invoices and cancelling.
Sign in on it with the same email. Your plan works on every Mac.
