Waylight is an AI assistant that understands everything you do on your computer, building a private memory of your activity including meetings, documents, tabs, and messages. It allows you to ask questions about anything you've seen and get instant, accurate answers by leveraging the context from your computer usage.

Waylight passively captures what you're doing on your computer without requiring manual note-taking. It processes screen changes in the background to build an understanding of your workflow and life. The system can draft replies based on open documents, remember commitments from meetings and documents, and provide contextual responses without requiring copying, searching, or digging through tabs.

All processing occurs on-device with zero cloud uploads, ensuring complete privacy. Waylight uses optimized small models tuned for your specific hardware configuration. Users have full control over memory retention with customizable rules for defining retention windows and choosing which apps or websites to avoid capturing.

The product automatically generates actionable to-do lists and daily journals based on your activity, helping you stay organized and accountable. It summarizes each day's activities, shows which apps and documents you used, and provides an activity timeline with summaries. This helps users see what they accomplished and stay on top of their daily tasks.

Waylight is designed for Apple Silicon Macs made after 2020, including some 2020 models. It's positioned as a solution for people who want ChatGPT-like functionality but with context from their personal computer usage, eliminating the need for copying and pasting content into external AI tools.
