Clicky is a Mac application that surfaces an AI assistant inline — directly adjacent to your cursor — without requiring you to switch windows or paste context manually. The app maintains persistent screen awareness, reading what's in front of you and using that context to answer questions, guide tasks, and make suggestions relevant to what you're doing in any application. Unlike clipboard-based AI tools that require explicit copy-paste workflows, Clicky works through ambient screen reading: you invoke it with a hotkey, it understands the current screen context automatically, and responds inline. The approach is closer to GitHub Copilot's ghost-text model than a chat sidebar — the assistant lives where your attention already is. The indie approach prioritizes a single, focused Mac use case rather than trying to be a cross-platform agent platform. Early Product Hunt reception highlighted the overlay UI and the speed of context capture as standout experiences. For knowledge workers who context-switch constantly between reference material, documentation, and writing tools, the cursor-adjacent model reduces the friction of asking a question by eliminating the need to describe what you're looking at.

Dust.tt has launched an enterprise tier that brings SSO via SAML, granular role-based access control, and full audit logging to its no-code AI agent builder. Teams can deploy specialized agents scoped to internal knowledge bases across Slack, Notion, and Salesforce without writing code. The platform positions itself as the governance layer enterprises need before trusting AI agents with internal data.
Reviewer scorecard
“The screen-aware context capture is the killer feature — I'm tired of pasting error messages into chat windows. If Clicky accurately reads terminal output and stack traces without me doing anything, that alone justifies the install. The hotkey-invoke pattern feels like the right UX for async assistance.”
“The primitive is an agent-scoped RAG pipeline with an enterprise auth layer bolted on — that's a real thing, but the 'no-code' framing immediately raises the question of what happens when the agent needs to do something the drag-and-drop builder didn't anticipate. The DX bet is that IT admins, not engineers, are the deployers, which means the API surface for developers who want to compose this with their own tooling is probably an afterthought. There's no public API docs linked from the blog post, no mention of a SDK, and 'scoped to internal knowledge bases' tells me nothing about how document ingestion actually works at scale. I'll change my verdict the day there's a repo or a curl example in the docs.”
“Persistent screen reading is a significant privacy surface. What data is captured, where it goes, and how it's retained are crucial questions that indie tools often underspecify. This space is also crowded — Cursor, Copilot, and a dozen similar tools already compete for this workflow. What's Clicky's durable advantage?”
“The direct competitors are Glean, Guru, and — increasingly — Microsoft Copilot Studio, which ships with the SSO and audit logs already baked into a tenant most enterprises already pay for. Dust wins if and only if the no-code agent builder is genuinely more capable than what IT admins can stand up in an afternoon with Copilot. The scenario where this breaks is a Fortune 500 with a Microsoft EA — the IT admin has Copilot Studio free in the bundle and zero incentive to add another vendor. What kills this in 12 months is not a competitor, it's platform consolidation: Microsoft and Salesforce both ship 80% of this natively and enterprises stop evaluating point solutions.”
“Cursor-adjacent AI is the right mental model for ambient assistance. We've been training users to alt-tab to a chat window for 3 years; tools like Clicky train the reflex that AI is contextually available wherever attention lands. This interaction paradigm will win.”
“As someone who constantly switches between design specs, documentation, and writing tools, cursor-adjacent AI is genuinely useful. No more describing a UI element in a chat window — Clicky can just see it. The overlay aesthetic is clean and the indie origin means it'll iterate fast on creator feedback.”
“The buyer here is crystal clear: it's the IT or security team that's been blocking the AI project the line-of-business team has been begging for. SSO, RBAC, and audit logs aren't features — they're the unlock code for enterprise procurement. The wedge is smart: land with one Slack agent, expand into every department's knowledge base. The risk is that the 'contact sales' pricing wall means we have no idea if the unit economics survive a real enterprise deal with professional services and compliance reviews baked in. If they can hold a $30-50 per seat number without collapsing into custom contracts, this is a real business.”
“The job-to-be-done is precise: let a non-technical team deploy an AI assistant over internal docs without giving up on compliance. That's one job, and the SSO plus audit log bundle is exactly what makes that job completable — without those two things, no enterprise IT team signs off. The onboarding question I can't answer from the announcement alone is whether a new user can go from SAML config to a deployed Slack agent in under 30 minutes, or whether there's a professional services call hiding in the middle. The specific product decision that earns a ship is scoping agents to internal knowledge bases by default — that's an opinionated choice that removes the biggest enterprise objection before the customer even raises it.”
