TypeBoost
TypeBoost est une application de bureau pour macOS qui permet aux utilisateurs d'appliquer des invites de texte IA à l'échelle du système sur le texte sélectionné – directement dans d'autres applications, sans quitter le contexte. L'application est lancée via un raccourci clavier global et permet aux utilisateurs d'appliquer rapidement des invites IA enregistrées au texte, par exemple, pour améliorer des e-mails ou éditer du texte de manière créative.
