What it does
tico is an AI buddy that lives on your Windows screen. press a hotkey, ask anything by voice, and tico sees your screen, answers out loud, and points to exactly where you need to click. it works with any app — blender, vscode, davinci resolve, browsers, anything. tico searches the web when needed, speaks multiple languages, and guides you like a friend who knows everything. free to start, no card required.
Tico stays next to your cursor and sees everything on your screen. Press a hotkey, ask a question out loud, and it guides you through whatever you are doing.
o tico fica do lado do seu cursor, escuta suas perguntas, e te guia por qualquer coisa na tela. ele aponta pro lugar certo e fala em voz alta oque fazer. tipo um amigo que sabe de tudo. todo mundo tem acesso aos mesmos modelos de IA — mas quase ninguem destrava o poder deles. a gente acha que e problema de interface. IA boa demais presa em caixinha de chat e terminal chato. o tico tira a IA do chat e coloca do lado do seu cursor, falando portugues, apontando na tela. a gente ta tentando descobrir a interface de IA que o proximo milhao de brasileiros vai usar de verdade. ta no comeco! testa o que a gente tem hoje e me conta o que achou. o tico entende o que está na sua tela e responde em voz…from ticoai.app

FriendwareJan 2026 · friendware.ai · ▲190Hey HN, I built Friendware because I wanted autocomplete that works everywhere on my Mac, not just in code editors. In any text field it can draft replies, rewrite text, and write prompts for AI tools; it uses on-screen context to adjust based on what you’re doing. My goal was making it feel native and not require workflow changes, so it stays accessible across apps by living in the notch. Currently working on better voice learning and a memory system, would love feedback on what to prioritize!

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
