Fluent - Agentic AI in Any Mac App. Now with Native RAG
by•
This time, Fluent is supercharged by MCP and a native RAG engine, and it's a real game-changer. Beyond its general purpose, RAG lets you replicate your writing style almost 100%. This launch is mostly about that: write like yourself, write like Jack London, write like the world's top marketers. And never be accused of AI slop. To put it simple – Fluent RAG is the cornerstone of generating instead of writing.

Hey people of Product Hunt 🧙♂️👋
AI is powerful, but it still falls apart when your context is scattered across apps, and it rarely sounds like you (or lands a joke). Fluent fixes that, and yes, it finally makes humor work 😂 Check the video if you want to see it in action.
What Fluent brings:
– Global context awareness: works in any app and combines context across apps + tabs.
– MCP: Claude Desktop-style workflows, but no subscription and no lock-in (your API keys, local models supported).
– Memory, native RAG engine: local, always-on “second brain” that matches writing style insanely well.
– Scheduled Actions: early, but turning actions into autonomous agents for Mac automation.
– History: local, encrypted, searchable.

I’d love to hear your feedback 💕
Native RAG with agentic capabilities in any Mac app is a compelling combo. Curious about the boundary between what the agent can access vs what stays local - do you have explicit permission controls for when it reads from different apps? That's often where trust breaks down in desktop AI assistants.

@kxbnb Thank you! That's a increasingly valid question today.
If you don't have automatic app/browser context attachment enabled, Fluent does not read your underlying context. You're free to select it manually then.
In addition, everything in Fluent is stored locally, History is encrypted, and no data and telemetry is collected by Fluent itself. There is no authentication by design.
Fluent respects the tradition of older software that never asked for your Email and was never aware of who you are. But be mindful, that cloud AI providers might still process your data in various ways.

Hey @chrismessina 👋
Thanks for your feedback and questions!
Fluent currently doesn't support Shortcuts natively, but it's possible to connect them via external MCP integrations:
In the ideal world, I think Gemini-powered Siri is definitely going to be natural language driven, with persistent background memory and in some sense autonomous capabilities. However I don't expect new Siri relying on Shortcuts as the core engine at all :)
I personally don't use Shortcuts as I find them tedious to create, pretty limited in terms of app support, but who knows, maybe they will give them a refreshed design in the light of new AI features.

@importnil I don't disagree; Shortcuts seem to have a lot of potential, and if Apple were to add a conversational element to the Shortcuts experience, it could make them much more useful!
OpenAI acquihired the ex-Shortcuts team after all, so maybe they were constrained when they were at Apple.
Fluent
@chrismessina Yes, the team behind Shortcuts was far ahead of the time back then, and the design decisions they made in Sky inspired me greatly as well!
I've been using Fluent for over 2 months now, and it has been awesome. It's one of the few app purchases I haven't regretted in a long time. I use it to avoid getting lost in distracting Google search rabbit holes. When I'm short on time, I can just word vomit and get my writing reorganized. I'm still playing around with the other integration features and am sure there's more I'll be able to do.

@sura_tsegaye Thank you Sura, and I'm really happy to hear Fluent truly helps you!
