Hi everyone,
We've created an AI-Powered Voice Assistant application for MacOS that empowers computer control for the visually impaired.
We're now inviting the first 10 users to test it.
Visit our website https://nexy.tilda.ws/ to apply who has Mac so we can provide you with the application. If you have any difficulties or questions, write to me and I'll answer or help you.

I just signed up for it
Hi,
I just signed up for it. I cannot wait to test it out. question: how does this compare to existing features such as siri and voice control? and can you check for updates in future as soon as it's released?
Great, Thank you JC!
Great questions,
Nexy is similar to Siri in terms of communication, but Siri is very limited in capabilities, but Nexy has no limitations, you can use it in a browser, email, social networks, anywhere, giving just voice commands.
Nexy always works in the background and you can use it at any time, like Siri, you can ask, "what's on the screen", "What is drawn on the graph, picture, table", You can even ask to translate the text or read, find out what the weather is like today or the news, and most importantly you can ask to perform an action, for example, press a button or write or open an application and more complex commands like "Play music on YouTube".
That is, completely voice interaction.
Cool!
cool! cannot wait to test it out. Is it always going to be free? and will there be a check for updates option in the help menu?
Answer the questions
For the first 10 users it will be free forever, and yes, there will be a subscription costing approximately, but not more than 10-20 dollars per month, we will try to make it as accessible and cheap as possible.
So, congratulations, you are in the list of the first 10 users.
Also, you will always have a new version because the update will be automatic.
Nice!
Nice! and the subscription is optional, right? also, are there sound notifications to let you know it herd your commands just like siri?
You mentioned that it can be used to press buttons, can it also be used for clicking on links such as opening a link to a zoom meeting? say, click on OK, when the "this meeting is being recorded" dialog box pops up? another example, lets say that you are composing a message in the messages app, can you say "click on record audio," and it clicks on the button, and when you're done recording your audio message, instead of hunting for the stop button, can you say, "click stop" and it'll stop recording? if yes, I could use it in situations like this.
is there a website to download the app?
I forgot to ask, I know I have signed up to get access to the app, but is there a website to download the app directly?
Answer the questions
Did you apply with website, right?
1) Yes, there are sound notifications, for example: "I click the stop button!" like this .
Yes, you can ask to attach a microphone button for recording
Yes I did
Yes I did. I applyed on website.
is there a youtube channel with demos?
Is there a youtube channel with demos? I would love to hear demos if any.
Not yet, but we will do it
We don't have yet but we will do it, thank you for idea
No problem
No problem. Cannot wait to test app. also, is there help available if you ever get stuck?
I will always be in touch,
I will provide my contact details for communication
I can't try this as i'm on windows but.
I assume you already know that voiceover exists?
At the moment it sounds like you're trying to create a screen reader but through voice.
I'd recommend also adding a text to nexy option that way if you don't want to talk, or can't for some reason, you could stil use all the functions.
I’ve signed up.
Hi. I’ve signed up, but unfortunately don’t have a Mac. Could I still be added to the list so that I can test if/when a Windows version comes out? Also, if I do make it into the first 10 users and as you said that the subscription will be free forever for those users would I be able to get it for free on windows? If not, that’s perfectly alright.
does it has windows pc version
does it have windows pc version?
Would love
To test it out if the dev has any plans of coming up with a windows version...
Commands
Does it support Intel Macs? And do I need to "guide" it through each step - example Press send on the mail interface to send the message or can I just say something like "Send an email to x with subject test and write this is a test?"
I know of something like this for windows called guide.
It's not for me but others seam to enjoy it. You can get a month free trial I believe: https://www.guideinteraction.com/
Back to the Mac
Yes you can read about Guide and discuss it on our Windows forum here:

Privacy and security
Hi @Seregawpn. Can you comment at all about privacy and security? With an app like this you are giving over a lot of control and access to your Mac, so trust in the privacy and security is naturally very important.
Many thanks,
Dave
Signed up yesterday
Hey there,
I'm hopeful I can get a slot. I signed up yesterday afternoon.
I have some really interesting and different use cases I want to test out, I won't go into detail until I have the chance too, but I feel like if successful, it could be a game changer.
@Dave Nason I completely forgot there was another topic.
I won't take the link down but will look next time for a link before posting.
Could I play games with this?
Like civilization let’s say?
Just signed up. I'm an iOS…
Just signed up. I'm an iOS and macOS developer as well and work with AI so hopefully can provide some useful feedback and suggestions.
