Case Study - AI Assistant for macOS

Vidix is my latest project — an intelligent assistant for macOS that automates your workflow with AI. With Vidix, you can create custom AI agents and assign keyboard shortcuts to run them in any app on your Mac.

What does that mean? Imagine selecting text anywhere and pressing a shortcut to instantly translate it, summarize it, or apply advanced AI processing — all in real time.

Vidix boosts productivity system-wide: automate repetitive tasks, format or generate content instantly, and tailor agents to your needs (from writing and SEO to data conversion or text editing).

It features Basic and Advanced modes — Basic gives you ready-to-use functions, while Advanced allows for deep customization with external AI providers and models.

Everything happens live, with immediate results on screen, saving you countless clicks and manual work.

Think of Vidix as a team of AI helpers inside your Mac, always just one shortcut away.

Bonus: If you're a developer, Vidix is fully extensible and supports your own custom AI recipes!

Built as a native macOS application, Vidix integrates deeply with the operating system to provide seamless AI assistance across all applications. The app uses macOS accessibility APIs to read and manipulate text content in any application.

The AI integration layer supports multiple providers and models, allowing users to choose between local AI models for privacy or cloud-based solutions for more advanced capabilities. The system maintains a library of pre-built AI recipes while allowing custom agent creation.

The keyboard shortcut system is built on macOS's global hotkey framework, ensuring reliable activation regardless of which application is currently active. The live processing engine provides real-time results without interrupting the user's workflow.
