FAQ 6

What is RED?
RED is a smart, floating AI hub that deeply integrates into your workflow, combining screen analysis, real-time transcription, and automation capabilities. It helps users think, organize, and act in real-time without needing screenshots or context switching, leveraging Deep Context (MCP) to securely connect to local systems, documents, and databases. It is primarily built for founders, analysts, students, and knowledge workers.
How to use RED?
RED integrates into the operating system as a seamless, floating assistant. Users interact via chat, workflows, and transcription tools. It uses Screen Context to understand visible windows/apps, executes Automated Workflows via single commands, and uses Live Transcription to capture and summarize meetings.
How does RED integrate with my existing tools?
RED uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to securely connect with local files and cloud services like GitHub, Notion, and Slack. It runs as a lightweight layer on top of your OS, allowing it to read context from your active windows when permitted.
Is my data private?
Absolutely. RED is designed with privacy-first architecture. Personal data processing happens locally where possible, and any cloud transmission is end-to-end encrypted. They do not train models on private data without explicit opt-in consent.
Can I use RED for coding?
Yes, RED excels at coding tasks. With deep integration into GitHub and local repositories, it can review PRs, generate scaffolding, refactor code, and even write documentation based on your codebase context.
Does it work on Windows and Linux?
Currently, RED is optimized for macOS. Windows support is planned for late 2025/early 2026.
