Tesseract AI agent · by Eightcell Labs

Say what you need. Get the finished thing.

Tesseract is an AI agent that makes presentations, websites, logos, videos and documents for you, right on your computer. Describe it in plain words or say it out loud. There are no prompts to learn and nothing to set up.

For Mac, Windows and Linux. No credit card, no second subscription.

What it makes

One sentence in. Finished work out.

Pick one and see what comes back. Every result here is a real screenshot, made for one small bakery from a single request: real files you can open, edit and send.

The best part

Completely free with the AI you already pay for.

Your Claude or ChatGPT subscription does the thinking. Tesseract does everything else, for nothing. No second subscription, no credits to buy, and Tesseract never counts or limits how much you use it.

Your AI subscription+ Tesseract, $0 =Decks, websites, video, logos, fonts and every tool in the box

Your AI plan's own limits still apply. Have more than one account? Tesseract moves to the next one when an account runs out. No AI subscription at all? Start on the free allowance and top up only if you want more.

We make complex things simple

Three steps, and you only do the first one.

1

Ask

Type what you want, or press the microphone and say it. A sentence is enough. Start from one of the ready ideas if you'd rather not type at all.

The Ask anything box with ready ideas below it.
2

Watch it work

It shows you a plan first, then opens the tools it needs and shows each step as it goes. It stops and asks before anything important.

Keep it

You get PowerPoint, PDF, images, video and website files. Everything opens in an editor, so you can change any of it by hand.

Where it goes further

It doesn't stop at an answer.

Most AI apps hand you text and leave the rest to you. Tesseract carries the job through, wherever you are and on whichever computer you're at.

One keystroke, over any app

Press a shortcut anywhere and Tesseract opens on top of what you're doing, with a picture of your screen attached. Ask it to draft the reply, check the numbers or finish the form.

Hand it the mouse and keyboard and it can work in your other apps too. It finds buttons by what they say, draws arrows to show what it's doing, and stops at logins so you can take over.

⌥Space on Mac, Alt+Shift+Space on Windows and Linux. Choose how much it may do without asking.

All your computers, working together

Start a job on your laptop and let the computer in the back office finish it. Work keeps going after you close the window, and you can reach any of your machines from the others.

Your AI, your choice

Works with the AI you already pay for.

Sign in with your Claude or ChatGPT account, or add a Gemini API key, and Tesseract uses it. Choose a different AI for each conversation and switch whenever you like. New models appear on their own, without an app update.

Have more than one account? Tesseract switches to the next one when an account hits its limit. Images, video and the guide's voice work straight away, with nothing to connect.

Never stuck

A guide you can talk to

Press ⌘ / and ask her anything about the app, out loud. She answers in her own voice and takes you to the right place. Her voice is free and works before you even sign in.

How do I make a video?

Easy. Tell me what it's about and I'll open Make a video for you.

Everything included

One download replaces a drawer full of apps.

All of this comes in the same install and works on day one. Nothing to connect or sign up for. Each of these is normally a separate subscription with its own login.

Questions

You asked.

Do I need to be good with computers?

Not at all. Describe what you want like you'd tell a friend, or press the microphone and say it. If you get stuck, press ⌘/ and ask me.

Do I need an AI subscription?

No. If you already have Claude or ChatGPT, sign in and Tesseract runs on it: Tesseract itself charges nothing, and what it uses counts against your plan’s own limits. A Gemini API key works too. If you don't, start on the free allowance and top up only when you want more. Images, video and my voice work with nothing to connect.

What do I get at the end?

Real files. Presentations download as PowerPoint, PDF or an animated web page, documents export to PDF, and websites come as files ready to publish. Fonts install on your computer. Anything Tesseract makes opens in an editor, so you can change it yourself.

Can it edit videos and photos with AI?

Yes. It comes with a video editor with a full timeline and an AI agent that edits with you, a layered photo editor whose AI fills change only the part you select, and Word, spreadsheet and PDF editors where the agent works in your file.

Is my stuff private?

Tesseract works on your files where they are, on your computer, and signing in is optional. To answer you, what the assistant reads is sent to the AI provider that runs the model, unless you use a local model. Without a paid plan or a balance, Tesseract shows sponsored messages, even when you use your own AI account. To choose one, our ad partner receives up to six recent messages of the conversation where it appears, your IP address and device info. Where ads are personalised, it also gets an identifier, and its measurement runs: in the web app it records your visits and clicks there and takes a fingerprint of your device, and each app keeps an identifier for it for up to 180 days. It uses this under its own privacy policy, which also lets it tailor ads on other apps and sites. You can turn personalised ads off in Settings → Privacy, or in Settings in the phone app. Our ad partner never gets your files. Set a master password and your passwords are encrypted on your device, so nobody at Tesseract can read them. Conversations are stored and processed in the cloud, as our terms and privacy policy explain. Read the privacy policy →

Which computers does it run on?

Mac, Windows and Linux, and it installs and updates itself. Spotlight and using your mouse and keyboard work on all three. A free iPhone app keeps you with your agents when you are away from your desk.

Is Tesseract the same as the Tesseract OCR library?

No. This Tesseract is an AI agent app made by Eightcell Labs. Tesseract OCR is an unrelated open-source text-recognition engine.

Is this Tesseract related to Tesseract by Mirage?

No. This Tesseract, at tesseract.dev, is made by Eightcell Labs. It is not affiliated in any way with Mirage or its Tesseract product, or with any other product or company named Tesseract.
