Vy is an AI-powered desktop agent that sees your screen, understands natural-language instructions, and then clicks, types, and scrolls for you—turning your Mac into a voice-/chat-driven, fully-automated coworker.
(It only works of Mac with M chips) - ** Do you notice this Trend?? Mac is the computer for AI.
Think of it as a bridge between vision, language, and action that runs locally and works inside whatever apps, sites, or files you already have open.
Features
Features | Capability |
Control your desktp with natural language | Open the Vy overlay, type or speak a request, and watch it execute step-by-step—including inline “thought bubbles” that reveal its reasoning. Use @ to reference open tabs, PDFs, or videos. |
It can ‘see’ your apps. | Because Vy controls the actual UI, it works across browsers, design tools, spreadsheets—anything on your screen—with no extra plug-ins or API keys is required. It is ‘slow’ as it interprets but it can now do a LOT without support. |
Watch and repeat workflows. | You can record yourself performing a task while narrating. Vy can then generalise the pattern so you can re-run it later with new parameters (e.g., scrape different companies’ financials). |
Automation scheduling | Set workflows to fire at specific times or intervals—daily reports at 9 AM, monthly invoice uploads, etc.—while Vy keeps your Mac awake when a job is pending. |
Vy has a background mode | Let Vy run tasks invisibly while you continue working or streaming; a small banner shows progress without hijacking your screen. |
Selective memory and form filling | Ask vy to remember snippets (address, tax ID) so it can auto-populate forms later—nothing is stored unless you request it. |
Device privacy and security | Tasks execute on your own machine; Vy uses whatever accounts you’re already logged into, so no passwords are handed over. |
Use cases for consideration:
- Personal RPA: Upload receipts, rename files, or batch-resize images while you grab coffee.
- Research assistant: Crawl sites, copy data to spreadsheets, and summarise findings on schedule.
- Design shortcuts: Merge shapes in Figma, export assets, and organise layers hands-free.
- Form filling concierge: Auto-populate repetitive web forms using your saved profile details.
Installation will only work on a Mac:
- Download the latest installer from vercept.com. vercept.com
- Grant accessibility & screen recording permissions when prompted so Vy can control the UI.
- Create / sign in to your Vercept account (early access is currently wait-listed).
- Launch Vy, open any app, and type
@or hit the hotkey to start chatting.
Why Vy is cool:
- Truly cross-app: No APIs or browser extensions required.
- Visions level accuracy: Built by computer-vision veterans (ex-AI2, Meta) and already outperforming rival UI agents on public benchmarks.
- Time back in your day: Offload the clicks, keep the creativity.
Why it can be limited? Accuracy and speed. Vision based processing while powerful can be a little clunky at times. Consider this one carefully - but for many use cases this is a powerful thing to consider.
Conclusion
Vy by Vercept turns your Mac into a visual AI assistant that automates tasks across any application by seeing and interacting with your screen. Perfect for repetitive processes like file management, data collection, design workflows, and form filling, it saves time despite occasional speed limitations of its vision based approach.
