Automation & Local Intelligence
Rule Engine Automation
Create powerful workflows with the built-in rule engine.
- Rule-based triggers: Evaluate every new clip against saved rules.
- Flexible conditions: Match on content text, detected formats, tags, or clip types.
- Multi-action pipelines: Auto-tag, favorite, pin, copy values, or run multiple actions in sequence.
- Local execution: Rules run on-device with no network calls.
- Debug logs: Console output shows rule evaluations for easy tuning.
AI Chat
Interact with your data using the on-device LLM.
- Local chat experience: Conversational UI powered by the on-device LLM; no cloud API required.
- Threaded history: Saved conversations with editable titles and per-thread context.
- Clipboard aware: Send clips or summaries into chat for quick reasoning.
- Status-aware prompts: Inline status for loading models, disabled chat, or missing model selection.
- Safe controls: Disable send while the model is responding; clear and delete threads inline.
- Privacy: All processing happens locally on your machine.
