Getting started

Go from nothing to your first answer and your first recording in a few minutes. You'll create a Gelim Account, install Gelim where you work, and try the launcher.

What you need

  • An email address.
  • A Mac with macOS 15 or later, an iPhone, or any computer with a browser.

1. Create your Gelim Account

Go to account.gelim.ai and choose Create an account. Enter your email and a password of at least 12 characters, then open the link Gelim emails you.

Every account starts as a personal one. Opening a team comes at launch; teammates then join by invitation. See Personal or team.

2. Install Gelim

Download Gelim from gelim.ai/mac, drag it to Applications, and open it.

3. Sign in

Choose Sign in with your Gelim Account. Sign-in opens in your browser and returns to Gelim. If your company has set up team sign-in, entering your work email takes you to Microsoft.

4. Ask your first question

Type in Message Gelim… and send. Search is on, so Gelim can look things up on the web; links under the answer show its Sources. Your chat is saved under Today, on every device.

Press ⌘N for a new chat. Chips above the composer offer what you have open: your selection, the Finder selection, the Safari page. Click one to attach it.

5. Make your first recording

Press ⌘⇧R, choose Microphone only or Meeting audio + microphone, then Start recording. Press ⌘⇧F to finish.

Gelim saves the audio on your device first, then sends it: Saved on this device · Audio sent · Transcript · Actions. When the transcript is ready, run Meeting minutes in the Actions tab, or choose Chat about this.

6. Try the launcher or the keyboard

Select some text in any app and press ⌘Space. Type ss to summarize it, or press ⌘8 to chat about it. Press ⌘⏎ to insert the answer where you were typing.
