What Kolibo does for you

1

Ask about what you see

An error message, a contract clause, a chart, an email in another language: press ⌥ Space and just ask. Kolibo sees everything you’re looking at and talks it through with you.

Example
On screen“Notice period: 3 months to the end of a quarter, unless …”
You askWhen’s the earliest I can get out?
Kolibo explainsIf you give notice by September 30, the contract ends on December 31. After that, only at the end of the next quarter.
2

Remembers what you just did

Kolibo remembers what you looked at and wrote today. Post something on Facebook, then say on Discord: “Make the post from earlier more personal for Discord.” And anything you say with “Remember …” stays until you delete it. Everything stays on your Mac.

Example
Facebook, 2:10 pmBlack Friday: 30 % off everything, starting Nov 27.
Discord, laterMake the Black Friday post from earlier more personal for Discord
Kolibo writesHey folks! You heard it here first: Black Friday starts Nov 27 – 30 % off everything. Thanks for sticking with us 💜
3

Replies in the thread’s language

Say what you mean in your own language. Kolibo detects the language of the conversation and replies in kind – in Spanish, French, German and more.

Example
Instagram comment“¿Hacéis envíos a México?”
You sayyes, takes about 10 days
Kolibo writes¡Sí, enviamos a México! El envío tarda unos 10 días. 😊
4

Discuss first, then write

Not sure how to respond? Ask Kolibo first. Once you agree: “Write it like that.”

Example
You askShould I offer him a discount right away?
Kolibo thinksNo – first explain what’s included in the price and offer a quick call. Save the discount for the follow-up.
“Write it like that”Thanks for being upfront! The package includes … Happy to jump on a quick call.
5

Rewrite selected text

Select text, press ⌥ Space, say what should happen. The result replaces the selection right where it is.

Example
Selectedwe gotta move the meeting cause the client cant make it
You saymore formal
Replaced withUnfortunately, we need to reschedule the meeting, as our client is unavailable.
6

Dictate wherever you type

Hold the shortcut, speak, let go – the text is in the field. Speech recognition runs on your Mac.

Example
Spoken“Thanks, I’ll get back to you tomorrow … write that in German”
InsertedDanke, ich melde mich morgen bei dir.
Try it yourself ↓

Knows your projects

Connect project folders to GitHub. Kolibo looks things up in the code when you ask – read-only – and files an issue on request.

Example
Forum question“How can I export form submissions as CSV?”
You sayCreate a GitHub issue for this
Ready to confirmExport form submissions as CSV
Label: enhancement · Repo: your-plugin
8

Learns new actions

Do something often? Say “Add this as an action.” Kolibo suggests the action, you confirm – next time one sentence is enough.

Example
You sayAdd this as an action: post a comment on the matching issue
New actionComment on issue
“Put that in the issue” is all it takes from now on.
9

Long answers as documents

When an answer gets long or needs structure – a guide, a comparison, a summary – Kolibo creates a Markdown file you can open right away.

Example
You askExplain the difference between REST and GraphQL for our plugin
Document
REST vs. GraphQL.md
Summary, pros and cons, recommendation

Writes like you

Kolibo learns how you write – from your dictations and the corrections you ask for. On top, tell it who you are and what it should know. Fixed rules apply to every answer.

Example
About meDeveloper of two WordPress plugins, casual with my community.
RulesNo em dashes. Emojis sparingly. Never promise prices.
KnowledgeSupport hours, links to the docs, common questions.

Hold. Speak. Release.

Hold ⌥ Space and speak, like a voice message. Let go and the text is in the field. Try it with the keys here.

FAQ

What does Kolibo cost?

$39 one-time, no subscription. That includes all version 1 updates. You can try Kolibo free for 14 days with no limitations. For the AI, Kolibo uses your existing Claude or ChatGPT subscription – there are no extra costs on our side.

Do I need an API key?

No. Kolibo uses your existing Claude or ChatGPT subscription. You need Claude Code or Codex on your Mac and sign in there once. The setup assistant shows you how.

Which apps does Kolibo work in?

All of them. Kolibo sees everything you’re looking at – you don’t even need a text field. Ask about a PDF, an error message or a web page. And when you’re in a text field – on Facebook, LinkedIn, in Mail, Slack, Discord or WhatsApp – Kolibo opens right there and inserts the reply.

What does Kolibo see of my screen?

Only at the moment you call it: the app name, the field and a capture of the active window. That’s how it recognizes the message and the conversation before it. Nothing is recorded in the background.

Does Kolibo really reply in the right language?

Yes. Kolibo detects the language of the conversation. You can talk to Kolibo in English and still get a Spanish draft if the thread is in Spanish. You can also set a fixed language in the settings.

Does dictation run in the cloud?

Speech recognition runs on your Mac. Only when you say an instruction such as “write that in Spanish” does the text go to the AI.

Can Kolibo break anything?

Code is only ever read. Actions like a GitHub issue are prepared as a card, and only your click carries them out.
