Chat in the launcher
Open the launcher's Chat tab and just type. Gelim picks up the text you selected or the text or image you just copied, so you can ask about it straight away.
What you need
- Gelim for Mac, signed in with your Gelim Account.
- Accessibility allowed, so Gelim can see your selection.
1. Open the Chat tab
Press ⌘Space, then ⌘8. The input is ready as soon as the tab opens.
2. Check what's attached
If you selected text, or copied text or an image in the last five minutes, a chip shows it: Selected 1,306 chars · Safari, Copied 412 chars · Notes, Copied image, or Screen area after you capture one with ⌥Tab. Click × to remove it. Nothing is sent until you press ⏎.
3. Ask
Type your question and press ⏎. Beside the input you'll find Search, Deep research and the model with its effort, which reads Automatic unless you choose one. Press ⌘/ to choose a model, or ⇧⌘/ to change its effort (Models).

You can also start from New chat with the selection or New chat with the N files selected in Finder.
