Caret gets to know you and autocompletes you across every app on your Mac. It learns your work, your friends, your style and suggests completions that actually sound like you. Just press Tab.
How do you envision Caret balancing speed and personalization as it learns—do you see it leaning more toward instant utility (fast completions anyone could use) or toward deeply individualized suggestions that reflect each person’s writing style?
@odeth_negapatan1 Great question! We lean heavily toward personalization. The core bet is: the better Caret knows you, the higher the chance it predicts exactly what you would have written - not just something generic and plausible.
A suggestion that's perfectly tailored to your style and context is worth a tiny bit of latency. A fast suggestion you don't actually want is just noise.
That said, we're very aware that speed is table stakes for autocomplete - if it doesn't feel instant, people stop using it. So we're working hard to make sure personalization doesn't come at a meaningful cost to responsiveness. The goal is for it to feel both fast and like it knows you.
@sam_alexander1 Love cotypist. We're trying to add the memory aspect to complete you in more complex chains of thought. Try it out to see the difference :)
Congrats @ron_adin1 and @dschwartz18 on the launch! So happy to see Caret on Product Hunt.
I had the pleasure of meeting them about a month ago, and even then the energy and conviction behind Caret was impossible to miss! You could tell this team was building something they truly believe in.
And the problem they're solving is real: AI is everywhere but context stays siloed in each tool. Caret's approach of building at the OS level instead of forcing yet another integration is genuinely clever. And a huge boost for the productivity!
Excited to see where this goes! Hope to be a great journey!

@odeth_negapatan1 Speed and personalization Odeth just described our day to day @Caret better than us

Been using it for a while and it’s like it’s reading my mind
Caret
@matiszz love to hear it! That’s the goal.
As we progress and add more you’ll feel that more and more with no configurations

@matiszz Tab for mind reading! 📖
Is it only desktop? Not available on phones?
Caret
@natalia_iankovych I got so used to caret in my life honestly it feels missing on my phone!
Hopefully in the future 🤭
