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.

Twenty 2.0 is a major release of the open-source CRM that aims to replace Salesforce for developer-first teams. The 2.0 update ships a full SDK, custom data modeling via code, built-in AI agents, serverless functions, and enhanced self-hosting support — positioning it as infrastructure you extend rather than a SaaS box you're locked into. Unlike traditional CRMs where AI is a bolt-on copilot, Twenty embeds AI agents as first-class objects in the data model. Teams can write serverless functions that trigger on CRM events, extending pipelines with custom logic or connecting external AI services. The open data model means you can add fields, relations, and triggers without vendor approval. With over 1,500 Product Hunt followers and a strong GitHub presence, Twenty 2.0 arrives at a moment when companies are actively reconsidering whether to rebuild sales tooling on AI-first foundations or continue paying Salesforce for legacy infrastructure.
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 SDK + serverless functions combo is the right architecture. You get a real CRM out of the box but you can wire in your own AI agents for deal scoring, contact enrichment, or outreach automation without fighting vendor abstractions. This is how CRM should work.”
“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?”
“Salesforce has 25 years of integrations, compliance certifications, and enterprise support. Twenty is exciting for devs but any enterprise evaluating it will immediately ask about SOC 2, GDPR tooling, and migration paths from Salesforce. Those answers aren't there yet.”
“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.”
“The CRM is just the first vertical. Once you have an open, AI-extensible data layer for customer relationships, you can build anything on top — automated pipeline management, AI SDRs, deal intelligence. Twenty is betting on the right abstraction.”
“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.”
“For small creative agencies or studios managing client relationships, this replaces both a CRM and a project management tool. Self-hosting means your client data stays yours, which is increasingly important for creative professionals.”
