Never leave the app you're in

Press Space — ask about the app you're already in.

No switching to a browser, no pasting screenshots into a chatbot, no losing your place. Guidelet reads whatever is on your screen, answers in two sentences, and draws a box around the exact control you need — on top of the app itself.

No plugins. No per-app setup. Nothing to integrate. Guidelet reads pixels, not APIs — so it works in anything you can see, including the app nobody has written a tutorial for.

Getting unstuck today

  1. Leave the app.
  2. Screenshot it, open a browser, paste it into a chatbot.
  3. Read an answer that names a button you now have to hunt for.
  4. Switch back. Find your place again. Scan the toolbar.

Four context switches to press one button.

With Guidelet

  1. Press ⌥Space without leaving the app.
  2. Ask in plain words.
  3. The box lands on the real button, in the real window.

You never looked away.

01It already knows the app
Guidelet's ask bar floating over a Microsoft Word document, reading "Ask about Microsoft Word"

One shortcut, over whatever is in front — the bar names the app it is reading before you type a word. Word is still there, untouched, behind it.

02The box lands on the control
Pink box drawn around the Columns button in the Word ribbon

Not a description of where the button is. A box on the button, numbered in the order you touch it.

It docks beside your work.

Word keeps its window and stays usable. The answer takes the side, the box stays on the button, and you carry on in the document you were already in.

Guidelet answering how to split a video in CapCut, with two spots on screen

It doesn't know CapCut. It reads screens.

Nothing here was built for a video editor. The same thing that finds a button in Word finds one in CapCut, Blender, or software with twelve users — because it looks at your screen the way you do.

Beyond the answer

Everything else it keeps track of.

A history per app

Questions stay filed under the app you asked them in, so Word answers never mix with CapCut ones.

Save as a lesson

Keep an answer and its boxes for later. Reopen it the next time you need the same steps.

Select an area

Drag a box around one panel and ask about that alone, instead of the whole screen.

Web when it helps

It searches on its own when the app is niche, and lists the sources it used under the answer.

Share or download

Send an answer with its highlighted screenshot to someone else, or save it to disk.

Follow-ups in place

Ask the next question without leaving the app or losing the boxes already on screen.

Stop hunting through menus.
