Clicky — product visual

The interaction here is genuinely innovative — an assistant that lives next to your cursor, sees what you see, and answers out loud while you work, with a spoken "clicky agent" spinning up background automations. It points at a different way of talking to AI than yet another chat box. My own first runs left one reservation — the cursor-following presence can get distracting when you're trying to focus. So I'm keeping it here and watching, because the interaction will be worth it if the presence learns when to stay out of the way.

What it does

  • A Mac-native assistant that sits beside your cursor, watches your screen in real time, and answers questions you ask out loud
  • Walks you through whatever tool you’re in — design, video editing, music production, research
  • Saying “clicky agent” spawns a background agent that builds, researches, or automates tasks on its own

Details worth noting

  • Made by Farza Majeed (of buildspace); Y Combinator Spring 2026, reportedly ~$10M raised
  • The app is open-source on GitHub; runs as a menu-bar process, macOS 14.2+
  • Free tier keeps full screen awareness and voice; Pro ($20/mo) adds more agent usage

Who it’s for

People curious what talking to AI looks like after the chat box.
