Introducing Summon: AI commands for your context, anywhere on your Mac

Optional context, your content, preset and custom commands — inputs and outputs without leaving the app you're in.

March 18, 2026 productlaunch

We’ve all been there: you’re deep in an email, a Slack thread, or a doc — and you want AI help right there, not in another tab.

That context switch breaks the flow completely.

Summon fixes that.

How it works

Gather context in any app on your Mac (or run commands without it). Press your hotkey. Summon opens with commands — presets plus anything you define: clarify, shorten, summarize, ask a follow-up, and more.

Pick one. Outputs land in a floating panel; refine in place or apply back. You never left the app you were in.

Built for people who live in their Mac

Summon ships with sensible defaults and unlimited custom commands. Want Spanish translation? A specific tone? Bullets to prose? Build it.

Follow-up refinement stays in the result panel — no new trigger needed.

BYOK: your data, your key

Summon uses your own OpenAI API key. Inputs for a run go from your Mac to OpenAI and outputs come back — not routed through our servers for the model call. We charge for the app, not for token usage.
