Hapi Assistant: Ask About Anything On Your Screen, Hands-Free

What is Hapi Assistant?

Hapi Assistant is a hands-free way to get help with whatever's in front of you, without stopping to type. Hold a hotkey, say what you need in plain language, and Hapi either:

• Reads what's on your screen — an email, a PDF, a webpage, a Slack thread — and drafts a reply or a summary.
• Recalls something from before — a past meeting, a note you saved, a fact about a person or project — and answers you directly.

Either way, you get a draft or an answer back in seconds, without switching apps or opening a new window.

How to turn it on

Hapi Assistant is part of Hapi Pro. To enable it:

1. Open Hapi and go to Settings → Voice Notes.
2. Find the Screen & Memory Assistant section.
3. Turn it on and press a key combination to set your hotkey.

That's it — no restart needed. The hotkey works from anywhere on your Mac, the same way Hapi's regular voice-note hotkey does.

How to use it

1. Hold your hotkey.
2. Say what you need, naturally — no special phrasing required.
3. Let go. Hapi reads your screen (if relevant) or checks what it remembers, then prepares a draft.
4. Review and use it. Nothing is sent or posted automatically — the draft lands where you can read it first: pasted into the field you were in, or as an unsent draft in Mail.

What you can use it for

Reply to an email without typing a word. You're reading an email. Hold the hotkey and say: "Reply and tell them I can do Thursday at 3pm instead." Hapi drafts the reply in your mail app. You check it, hit send.

Summarize something long on screen. Looking at a long PDF, a contract, or a wall of text in a browser? Hold the hotkey and say: "Summarize this in three sentences." You get plain text back, ready to paste wherever you need it.

Ask about something from a past meeting. No need to go dig through old transcripts. Hold the hotkey and ask: "What did we agree with Marta about the pricing rollout?" Hapi checks what it already knows and answers directly.

Save a quick note hands-free. Walking away from your desk and need to remember something? Hold the hotkey and say: "Remember that Jordan's flight lands at 9pm Friday." Hapi saves it — no draft, no paste, just a quick confirmation.

A few things worth knowing

• It's always a draft, never automatic. Hapi Assistant will never send an email, post a message, or take an action on your behalf. It prepares text; you decide what happens next.
• It only looks when you ask. There's no background screen-watching — it reads your screen for the few seconds after you press the hotkey, and nothing else.
• It's part of Hapi Pro. If you're on a different plan, you'll see an upgrade prompt when you try to turn it on.
