Description
Guidy is an innovative AI desktop assistant designed to provide real-time, step-by-step guidance across any software or website on both Windows and macOS. It functions by reading your screen to understand the current context, allowing it to offer precise, on-screen instructions exactly when you need them. This eliminates the need for users to describe their problem to a chatbot, take screenshots, or sift through lengthy tutorials.

The assistant is built to adapt as you go, pointing at specific elements on your screen and circling areas for navigation. Users remain in full control, as Guidy never performs actions without explicit instruction. It integrates seamlessly into daily workflows, helping with a wide range of tasks from administrative duties and data analysis to email management and document formatting. For instance, it can guide users through setting up an out-of-office reply in Outlook, creating a VLOOKUP formula in Google Sheets, or building a custom dashboard in Google Analytics.
Guidy differentiates itself from traditional AI chatbots by offering visual, contextual assistance directly on your active screen. This means it can help with specific interface changes, unfamiliar tools, or complex processes in applications like Excel, Microsoft Word, Google Analytics, Zoom, and even internal company software. Testimonials highlight its utility for data scientists navigating various IDEs, marketing founders learning new website development tasks, and data engineers managing updated admin tools.
Security and privacy are core tenets of Guidy's design. It does not store, log, or retain any screen content, ensuring every session ends completely clean. User screen activity is never used to train AI models, and all data passed between Guidy and its servers is fully encrypted end-to-end. The assistant only reads your screen when actively opened and asked for help, giving users complete control over its activity. Guidy offers a free tier with 250 daily credits and an unlimited plan for a monthly subscription, making it accessible for individuals seeking to enhance their productivity and learn while they work.
