Clico

Overview

Clico is a screen-aware AI assistant developed by Ampliftai Inc. that redefines how users interact with AI by turning the current screen into a live context-rich input. Rather than forcing users to copy text, export files, or manually describe the state of their work in a separate chatbot window, Clico directly reads the application, web page, document, image, video, or selection that the user chooses. This approach makes the assistant feel native to the environment where work already happens, significantly reducing the overhead associated with context switching. The underlying design is centered on the idea that context is the most valuable asset for accurate AI responses; by capturing the visual and textual information visible on screen, Clico can deliver more relevant and grounded answers without requiring users to pre-process information.

Clico is distributed across three complementary surfaces. The Clico Desktop app runs natively on macOS with Apple silicon and offers deep integration with the operating system. Users can hold the Fn key and speak naturally to ask questions about the active screen, or double-tap the Command key to trigger a context-aware suggestion for the current app or selection. The Clico Chrome Extension extends the same screen-aware paradigm to the browser, adding purpose-built tools such as an email writer, Google Docs assistant, article summarizer, essay writer, auto-typer, AI text humanizer, and prompt generator. For longer browser-centric tasks, the Clico Web workspace provides a dedicated environment where users can delegate complex workflows and revisit saved results at any time. All surfaces share a common credit system and access to a tiered model lineup: standard models are available in the free tier, while expanded models and enhanced routing are unlocked in paid plans.

At the core of Clico is an agentic workflow engine that goes beyond simple question answering. When invoked, Clico reads the selected screen, identifies the relevant entities, gathers related sources, and uses available tools to produce an answer or an actionable output. It can carry steps across applications, meaning a single request might involve reading a spreadsheet, cleaning up dates, creating a formatted document, and updating the original app. Critically, Clico implements a human-in-the-loop approval mechanism: it will not write, send, create, or click on its own without explicit user consent. This design is essential for building trust in environments where mistakes carry real consequences, such as email, financial data, or account management. On macOS, permissions for screen recording, microphone, files, and accessibility are controlled through the system permission framework, and users are free to choose exactly which page, app, file, or selection is shared with the assistant at any moment.

Clico's value proposition centers on continuity and focus. The desktop app remembers previous messages, decisions, files, and the associated screen context, allowing users to pick up exactly where they left off. A free plan provides 200 credits per month and a complete workflow trial without a credit card, while Pro and Max plans expand usage to 2,000 and 5,000 credits respectively, along with broader model access and enhanced routing for high-volume work. The tool is best suited for tasks in which the required information is already visible on screen: drafting replies from an open email thread, summarizing dense documents, standardizing data in a spreadsheet, explaining complex visual content, and chaining multi-step actions across applications. By blending screen awareness, voice-first interaction, and responsible automation, Clico positions itself as a practical alternative to traditional chatbots for professionals who value speed and mental energy.
