Invoko

The third major feature is the personal helper and memory system. Invoko retains context across sessions—recent turns, task history, saved artifacts, and learned preferences—so it can follow up on previous conversations without the user repeating themselves. For example, if a user mentions a project in one session, Invoko may reference it in a later session unprompted, as quoted by beta user Marcus R. This persistent memory requires explicit permission and is stored locally on the Mac. Invoko also supports optional account connectors for services like Gmail, Notion, Calendar, Slack, and GitHub, enabling deeper actions such as sending emails, creating tasks, or checking calendars. However, core voice, screen, and writing flows work without any connected accounts, and Invoko asks before using a connected service.

Invoko's overall approach is a permission-based, context-first workflow. It begins when the user invokes it via the Fn key hold, tap, or drag from the notch. At that moment, it captures the current app's context (window, page, selection, and field) and listens for a spoken request. The request is processed on-device for voice, and the AI generates a response or action, displayed in a floating card. For short tasks, the card provides a direct answer or action button (e.g., replace selected text). For longer tasks, the user can approve a handoff to a background agent that moves across apps, gathers information, and returns the result. All of this requires explicit permissions: microphone, screen access, and accessibility each have their own toggle. Privacy is central: voice recordings are not retained by default, and most data never leaves the Mac. This workflow ensures users stay in control while getting tasks done with minimal friction.

Concrete use cases for Invoko include drafting client updates while remaining in Figma, as described by Sophie K., a product designer who dictated an entire email while Invoko read her design file and sent the message. Another scenario is sending follow-up emails without opening Gmail, allowing an account executive to handle communications directly from their workflow. For software engineers, holding Fn and saying 'remind me about this in 2 hours' captures a task mid-flow without breaking concentration. The outcomes are significant: users report saving 45 minutes on a Monday, replacing three separate task management apps, and experiencing the first AI tool that disappears into work. By eliminating context switches and reducing typing, Invoko helps users maintain deep focus while still accomplishing email, documentation, and research tasks. These real-world testimonials confirm that the product delivers measurable time savings and a smoother cognitive flow.

Invoko targets professionals who use Mac as their primary work machine and frequently multitask across apps—specifically product designers, software engineers, account executives, and anyone handling communications and documents daily. Currently, Invoko is available as a free beta for Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 14 or later. There is a waitlist for Windows support. The technical stack leverages macOS permissions and on-device processing for voice, with optional cloud AI for generation. There is no pricing information disclosed; it remains free during beta. To summarize, Invoko offers a unique combination of voice-driven interaction and deep screen context that eliminates the friction of switching between tools. Its value proposition is clear: a little hand on your Mac that understands what you are doing without being told, making you 4x faster and fully focused.
