BoltAI features


Chat with AI

The BoltAI app looks like a classic intuitive chat — but with a twist. It lets you easily switch between different AI models, including ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, Mistral AI, Perplexity, Groq, Ollama, and other LLMs. Discover a library of built-in prompts and characters to get high-quality results in response to your queries. Use with Setapp AI or AI+ credits or your own AI API key for extended functionality.


Create custom AI assistants

In BoltAI, you can use either the built-in selection of 30+ AI assistant personalities, like a software developer, AI coding assistant, travel planner, career counselor, and more, or create custom assistants tailored to your specific tasks. The same goes for prompts — you get access to over 160 ready-to-use ones, like a Python interpreter or plagiarism checker. And you can also save your own prompts for later use.


Use AI via context menu

Wherever you are — writing a text in Google Doc or working on code in your IDE — just select the text and press a keyboard shortcut to open the context menu with ready-to-use prompts to help you out. Choose things like Improve my writing, Summarize, Translate into French, or Complete the code. The context menu is fully customizable, so you can set up your own prompts in the settings to match your workflow.


Generate ideas or text

Want to write more for your blog or professional publications but just don’t have the time? BoltAI helps content creators brainstorm ideas, draft outlines, and write complete blog posts, articles, and technical content.


Work with code

Make your work with code easier with BoltAI’s software developer assistant. Just ask what you need right within your IDE without context switching, and get help with ideas to solve your coding dilemmas. On top of that, you get plenty of plugins to boost your coding productivity — like an AppleScript, JavaScript interpreter, FFmpeg, Shell Access plugin, and more.


Learn faster with AI

Get key takeaways and summaries of texts you are working with, simplify and condense content, and prompt BoltAI to refine or rewrite your own texts. This AI app works right where you are. With seamless integration across your favorite macOS apps, you can use BoltAI’s context menu anywhere there’s a text field — in your notes, files, or anywhere else. You can also add your own AI commands to the list in app settings.

    App version: 1.36.5

    The app was great. However, the version on Setapp is way behind the latest v1.x releases, and has yet to upgrade to the v2 releases (and it might never do so, according to the developer). I say “was great” because the current (early Oct 2025) version on Setapp is painfully buggy, and crashes regularly on macOS 26.x. It’s gone from being a joy to use to being a more of a burden. It seems the only way forward for Setapp users of BoltAI will be to ditch the Setapp version and pay for a license with the developer directly.

    Response from Developer

    Hey Jonathan. I’ve made some good progress but it’s still not fully ready yet. As you can see, BoltAI has a lot of features, with a lot of data. Since v2 is not compatible with v1, it takes a lot of time to test and make sure the transition is safe. I can say it’s 90% there. Hopefully I could release it later this week. Regarding the crash in v1, can you share the crash reports with me so I can fix them in the meantime. P.S: are you also on Reddit? I asked for the crash reports but I’ve never received your response.
