FAQ 11

What is Neutron?
Neutron is a desktop AI assistant that can see what's on your screen, preemptively offer help, write, summarize, or read from any application. It aims to automate any task using AI that interacts directly with your computer, without requiring additional Chrome extensions or browsers. Neutron is proactive, predicting what you need help with, and can perform tasks like writing emails, searching files, and summarizing documents by simply pressing Tab.
How to use Neutron?
To open Neutron, press ⌘ + . (Command + Period) to overlay it on any application. When Neutron suggests help, double-press Tab to have it type the result directly into the focused field. Users can also write custom, persistent instructions to tailor Neutron's behavior to their specific workflow, preferences, and tone across all apps.
How do I open Neutron everywhere?
Press ⌘ + . to bring up Neutron on top of any app.
What does Tab do?
When Neutron suggests help, double press Tab and it will type the result directly into the focused field—on any website or app.
Can it really write anywhere?
Yes. Neutron types using your system keyboard events, so it works wherever your cursor is focused—browsers, docs, email, or native apps.
Is Neutron constantly recording my screen?
No. Neutron only takes screenshots when you explicitly ask questions or request help. It's not constantly recording—it only captures what it needs to understand your specific request when you actively engage with it. We do notice when you open a new app, but we don't store that information. It stays on your machine.
Is this private? What about my data?
We don't train on your data. In fact, we can't even read your messages. Your data is encrypted in flight and at rest using enterprise‑grade encryption. Soon we will have a private, on-device AI that never leaves your machine. No server communication at all. (We believe in privacy.)
Will Neutron show up on screen shares or recordings?
No. We believe in personal, private AI. You most likely don't need to hide it, but its your AI, so we believe it should stay private either way.
How can I pause or disable Neutron?
You can pause Neutron or quit the app anytime from its menu. While paused, it won't read content or type for you.
What platforms are supported?
MacOS and Windows.
Can I try it for free?
Yes—start with a free trial to explore core features. Upgrade anytime.
