What it does

Stop dragging context into AI chats. AskAny lets you send the text, files, images, or screen region in front of you to GPT, Claude, Gemini, and more, directly from the app you’re using. Highlight, select, crop, or dictate, then ask, rewrite, summarize, copy the response, or replace text with one shortcut. AskAny doesn’t continuously watch your screen; you choose the context for every request. Available on Windows and Mac

Use AI models, connected apps, Studio and persistent Environments in one workspace with no subscription. Start with promotional credit, then pay only for metered usage.

Choose from OpenRouter-powered models, connect the apps you already use, work with files and context, create in Studio, and keep actions, usage, and cost together in AskAny. AskAny keeps estimates, actual model cost, Environment usage, tokens, requests and model mix visible in one dashboard while the same AskAny balance funds metered services. AskAny records the provider-reported model cost without a per-request model markup; AskAny earns through the service fee shown when balance is added. Search the app catalog, connect what you use, then call it directly with @app . Reads can return context immediately; write actions stay behind a clear review step. Image, video and audio each get their…from askany.ai

    I caught myself copy-pasting into ChatGPT like 50 times a day. Too lazy for that, so I built a shortcut. Select text anywhere on Mac, press a hotkey — text gets rewritten / translated / summarized / whatever, right where you are. No tabs, no copy-paste dance. Native Swift app, hooks into macOS accessibility APIs. Bring your own API key and calls go straight to OpenAI / Anthropic. Or just use the free tier — 20 requests/day, no signup. https://aihotkeys.tech Curious for the feedback

  • Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  • Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
