About Eney

Eney is a revolutionary AI assistant designed exclusively for Mac users that goes beyond simple Q&A to actually execute tasks on your device. Unlike cloud-based assistants, Eney runs locally on your Mac using Apple Silicon, providing instant responses while keeping your data completely private. The AI companion integrates deeply with macOS to handle everyday tasks like cleaning junk files, trimming videos, splitting PDFs, managing VPN connections, uploading files to Google Drive, and providing meeting transcriptions and summaries. What sets Eney apart is its proactive approach to assistance - it learns your workflow patterns and preferences over time, offering timely help before you even ask. The tool seamlessly integrates with popular Mac applications and services, making it feel like a natural extension of your operating system rather than a separate application. Currently available exclusively through Setapp's beta program, Eney represents the future of AI assistance where your digital companion truly understands and interacts with your Mac environment. Perfect for Mac professionals, content creators, and anyone looking to streamline their digital workflow, Eney combines the power of AI with the privacy and performance benefits of local processing. Its ability to remember context across conversations and perform actual system tasks makes it an invaluable productivity companion for modern Mac users.

I am also liking Eney from Macpaw which is also doing the same thing but with better UI and is at close to 50% of development in beta stage

One of my favorite Eney features is RAG. By utilizing local context you can literally ask everything from your local documents. No need to find specific file
