MiniAi

MiniAi is a lightweight AI assistant integrated into the macOS menu bar, designed to streamline the process of understanding complex texts without disrupting your workflow. By simply selecting any text—whether from PDFs, emails, or code snippets—and pressing the ⌥Space key, users receive a clear, concise AI-generated explanation displayed in a floating panel. This eliminates the need to switch apps or copy-paste into external AI tools like ChatGPT, allowing users to stay focused on their work. Developed by a med student frustrated with losing concentration while reading academic papers, MiniAi is tailored for professionals, students, and knowledge workers who frequently need quick clarifications or summaries while maintaining their reading flow. Its ease of use and seamless integration make it an attractive productivity booster for those who value efficiency and minimal interruption.
