## Overview
BoltAI is a native macOS application that provides a unified workspace for accessing and working with multiple AI models from various providers. Users can instantly switch between 300+ AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Azure, Bedrock, and local models without leaving the application or switching between browser tabs. It's designed for power users who need serious workflow tools including project management, multi-chat threads, forking capabilities, and reusable agents.

The application integrates AI capabilities directly into the macOS experience through global shortcuts and inline editing, allowing users to access AI assistance across their workflow without context switching. BoltAI supports multimodal intelligence for analyzing PDFs, screenshots, code, and documents. A key limitation is that it is currently only available on macOS (with mobile in beta), making it inaccessible to Windows or Linux users who may need similar functionality.
