Goldfish - Press Option. It knows your work and replies like you
by•
Most AI tools make you explain the context before they can help. Goldfish already has it. It privately remembers what you’ve been working on across your Mac, then helps you write better from any app. Press Option in a text field to draft replies, summarize threads, rewrite sentences, or recall important details from your recent work without copying, pasting, or re-explaining the whole backstory.

Congrats on the launch, Joel! The 'starting from zero every time' problem with AI is incredibly real—I waste so much time re-pasting Slack threads and briefs. Keeping the memory layer local via SQLite/vector DB is a massive win for trust. Quick question: How does it impact Mac performance or battery life when it's actively indexing active apps?
@bilal_niaz I feel you, we had the same problem before goldfish existed! Yes indeed - local first is a winner in our opinion :)!
It doesn't affect performance too much, we utilize the already existing accessibility APIs to get the text from open windows, which is super lightweight. We also run an optimized model for doing embeddings as not to tax the computer unnecessarily much.
Have you given goldfish a try yet? Best way to assess performance also! :- D
Well done! Though where I'd get nervous is recall precision:) Once a month of my screen sits in that vector DB, what stops Option from grabbing the wrong thread when two clients have near identical projects open? Overall, solid work!
@artstavenka1 totally fair concern. the short answer is: Goldfish should not be “semantic search over your whole screen history and hope for the best”.
we’re treating context as scoped and ranked, with recency, active app/thread, focused field, and visible surface mattering a lot. if two client threads look similar, it should prefer the one you’re actually in, not some old near-match.
still early, and recall precision is exactly one of the things we’re obsessing over. thank you for calling it out 🐠 how do you think it works, if you've tried it?
@artstavenka1 super good question! We do use chronological relevance too, so if Goldfish gets any timing signal, we use that as a heuristic. Under the hood it has three representations: recent context, long-term memory, and chronological memory. Would love for you to try it and let me know how it goes!
Making my job so much easier with one key, not having to go through different AI systems, but just having one that knows it all
@jessica_iyer So happy to hear that Jessica! Any special use case that's extra good? :- D
Been using Goldfish daily and it really does feel like the missing memory layer for work. The magic is when it pulls context from another app and writes the reply without me having to explain anything. Huge launch 🐠
@hugo_mardh1 Thanks Hugo, really happy to hear that. The cross-app context is definitely where it starts feeling magic 🐠
Do you use the desktop pet anything?
@hugo_mardh1 you’re one of the people who instantly got the cross-app magic. thank you for backing us 🐠

@alexander_woxstrom Thank you for the kind words Alexander! Happy to hear its been useful 🐠
Using Goldfish to comment on Goldfish feels illegal, but also kind of the point. Finally no more copy pasting stuff between my chatbots and messaging boxes!!🐠
@ceciliatran hahaha exactly, feels very full circle 🐠
What has been your favorite use case so far (except for PH comments? :- D)
I’ve been using Goldfish for a while now for drafts, summaries, prompt tuning, and a bunch of other day-to-day work.
It’s been genuinely useful, and we’ve rolled it out to our whole team too.
Strongly recommend!
@lmtr211 Thanks for the huge support Gustav, this is so nice to hear 🐠
Been using it for the last weeks, have to say I'm quite impressed 😎. It catches your tone quick, looking forward to seeing your guys' continued progress.
@andy_duly Thank you Andy! Really glad to hear it’s been working well for you 😎

Love the product really amazing!
@francois_levy Thanks François :- D!
Repetitive context creation. Is it now a thing of the past?
The most annoying thing with AI is always having to repeat the same personas, the same context, and writing things in your own words again and again. I've only been using Goldfish for awhile, but having built-in context without needing to create custom contexts/skills for each tool that I use daily has been great.
I'm looking forward to using Goldfish more and see how much it can really handle. Glad it doesn't have a Goldfish memory, or that would have been troublesome.
@travis_isaacson Thanks Travis! And haha, very glad we dodged the Goldfish memory problem.
Would love to hear where it starts breaking once you’ve used it more. That “how much can it really handle” question is exactly what we’re trying to learn now.
