Lux
Research, create, and get tasks done from Messages
Open in MessagesWhat it does
Lux turns a message into work on a dedicated computer. From your phone, you can ask it to research a topic, write or edit content, create files and images, make decisions, code, build simple sites, or set reminders without keeping another app open.
For desktop work, Lux describes a computer that wakes for your requests and, with Lux Desktop, can work in the context of your Mac, files, apps, and signed-in services. That broader access makes it more capable than a chat-only assistant but also requires careful permission choices.
