How AI is used
BoltAI is a native macOS client designed for users who want to interact with multiple AI models—including those from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and local providers—within a single desktop interface. Built using SwiftUI and AppKit, it is optimized for Apple M-series chips.
The tool is designed for freelancers, professionals, and small teams who use AI in their daily workflows. It helps by reducing the need to switch between different web interfaces, providing a unified area for chatting, document analysis, and prompt management.
Beyond basic chat, the software supports vision analysis, code execution, and the ability to run local models via Ollama or LM Studio. It also includes a prompt library and supports the creation of specialized AI agents.
Buyers should note that this is a client application; users typically provide their own API keys for the AI models they wish to use. Additionally, certain features are available based on the selected license tier.
