How AI is used
BoltAI is a native desktop client for macOS 13+ optimized for Apple Silicon chips. It allows users to connect their own API keys for models from providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and others, as well as local LLMs via Ollama or LM Studio.
The application provides a workspace where users can organize chats into projects, utilize a prompt library, and perform tasks such as analyzing PDFs or screenshots.
Business buyers should note that BoltAI is a client application and does not provide AI tokens; users must provide their own API keys from the respective providers. The software supports syncing chats and assets via cloud sync, depending on the license tier.
