Atua puts AI inside any Mac app through a global hotkey bar, custom commands, and context pulled from selected text, screenshots, clipboard, voice, or screen OCR. You build reusable prompts once, assign keyboard shortcuts, and run them from Mail, Slack, Xcode, or any other window without copying content into a separate chat tab.

Browser-based assistants make you leave your workflow; Atua stays in the app you are already using and can chain actions through built-in Mac tools plus MCP servers for GitHub, Postgres, Slack, and more. The trade-off is platform lock-in: it is macOS only, and you bring your own API keys from OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, and other providers rather than getting bundled credits.

Developers, writers, and creators who live in keyboard shortcuts use Atua to polish emails, summarize diffs, post MCP actions, and dictate voice paste locally. A one-time $29 license includes unlimited commands, system tool access, and lifetime updates with no subscription.
