Gep. is a Mac AI assistant developed by heartbeat and Somebay, positioned as a smart and easy-to-use ChatGPT-powered chatbot, designed to handle tasks of varying complexity, from brainstorming to content writing, within seconds.
[Main capabilities] The core capability of Gep. is to turn any text field on a Mac into a ChatGPT-4o channel. Users only need to highlight any phrase or word, press the hotkey ⌘⌥G, choose a command, and then get the answer directly in that text field, without switching apps. It performs outstandingly in content creation, brainstorming, marketing strategy, multilingual communication, and more, and supports multilingual text translation.
[How to use] Use the hotkey ⌘⌥G to bring up the command list, and after choosing the desired command, get the answer directly in the current text field. Users can use built-in AI commands with hotkeys, and can also configure custom commands according to daily tasks. The app provides prompt and role customization features, allowing the AI bot's personality to be adjusted in a dedicated channel, and multiple AI role channels to be created as needed. It also supports bookmarks for quick access to desired content (for example, saving a good recipe). The chat interface automatically adapts to the Mac OS light and dark themes, making it convenient to use around the clock. The plugin feature can significantly enhance collaboration with AI and is currently in public beta, and the official team welcomes users' plugin ideas.
[Privacy and connection] The entire conversation is saved only on the user's Mac and connects through the OpenAI (ChatGPT) API, without associating the conversation with a specific user.
[Subscription and fees] $5 / $25 / $50 monthly plans are offered. Depending on the subscription plan, model, and size of a single request, users can enjoy 100 to 10,000 requests per month; a single request can be up to 120k tokens; depending on request size, 5 to 20 requests per minute can be processed. There is also a Lifetime plan (using your own API key). The app is ready to use its API key, but the AppStore has stopped accepting such apps, and the official team is working to get it listed. Users waiting for Lifetime can contact the official team.
[FAQ] The official FAQ covers the following questions: what to do if you are dissatisfied with the answer, how to activate an account, what you get for free in the trial version, how to upgrade/downgrade a subscription, why you cannot use a purchased add-on package without a subscription, what to do when the monthly subscription limit is used up, whether you can view previous query history, whether Gep. can perform multilingual text translation, whether app content can be synced across devices, and account deletion and recovery.The specific answers to the above questions are not provided for now.
[Applicable scenarios] Suitable for Mac users who want quick AI assistance in daily writing, content creation, brainstorming, marketing strategy development, and multilingual communication, especially for scenarios where they want to invoke AI directly without leaving their current text input environment.
[Limitations] The app is currently aimed at the Mac platform; the Lifetime plan is not yet available due to AppStore policy; the plugin feature is in public beta; and the ability to sync app content across devices has not yet been clearly explained.
