AI Hotkey for Windows

Better writing, one keystroke away.

Highlight text in almost any Windows app, press your shortcut, and AI Hotkey rewrites it in place. It's clearer, correct, and still sounds like you.

One-time purchase. No subscription. Windows 10 and 11.

Same message, same tone, without the typos. Illustrative example.

How it works

Highlight, press, done.

You don't have to copy anything into a chat window, paste an answer back, or switch between apps.

  1. Highlight text in Outlook, Word, Chrome, Teams, Slack, your CRM, or almost anywhere you type.
  2. Press your shortcut (Ctrl + Alt + R by default, or choose your own).
  3. Done. The improved version replaces your selection a moment later.
Why people use it

Sound like yourself, only sharper.

It keeps your voice

AI Hotkey fixes spelling, grammar, awkward phrasing and voice-dictation mistakes, and tightens your point. It doesn't turn a quick note into corporate filler. Tell it how you write in My Writing Style, and every rewrite follows it.

Your choice of AI

Use any of these, or run models entirely on your own PC with Ollama. Switch whenever you like.

  • OpenAI
  • Anthropic Claude
  • xAI Grok
  • OpenRouter
  • Groq
  • Ollama (local)

Works where you already write

No plugins for each app and no browser extension. If you can select text and paste into it, AI Hotkey can usually rewrite it.

Safe if something fails

If a rewrite fails because of a network problem, an invalid key or an incomplete answer, your original text is left exactly as it was. Your clipboard is restored after each rewrite.

Fully yours to tune

Edit the rewrite instructions and try them in the built-in test box. Pick your shortcut, and choose whether results replace your text, show a preview first, or go to the clipboard.

Privacy

Your words stay yours.

Your text goes only to the AI service you choose, and nowhere else.

Nothing collected

No telemetry, no analytics, no accounts. AI Hotkey doesn't store or log your text.

Your key, locked away

Your API key is stored in Windows Credential Manager, not in a settings file.

Or keep it all local

With Ollama, the AI runs on your own computer and nothing leaves it at all.

AI usage is paid separately

AI Hotkey uses your own account with your chosen AI provider, for example OpenAI, Anthropic or xAI. Their usage fees are separate and paid to them directly. A ChatGPT or Claude chat subscription is not an API key. Running models locally with Ollama is free.

Sales tax or VAT is added at checkout where it applies, based on where you live. You'll see the exact total before you pay.

Questions

Which apps does it work with?

Almost any Windows app where you can select text and paste: email, documents, browsers, chat and business apps. It relies on standard copy and paste, so it won't work in apps that block those, such as some terminals, games and remote-desktop windows, or in windows running as administrator.

Do I need an AI subscription?

You need an API key from the AI provider you choose, or a free local setup with Ollama. A ChatGPT or Claude chat subscription is not the same as an API key. Setup links for each provider are in the app.

Is my text stored?

AI Hotkey doesn't store or log your text. It is sent only to the AI provider you configure, under that provider's own data terms. For xAI, AI Hotkey asks xAI not to store requests.

Can I use it on more than one computer?

Yes. One license covers you on all of your own computers.

Does it need to be online to check my license?

No. License keys are checked on your computer; AI Hotkey never contacts a license server.

What does it change in my writing?

By default: spelling, grammar, punctuation, clarity and flow, while keeping your meaning and your voice. It is told not to invent facts. You can rewrite the instructions to do anything you like, such as making text more formal, shorter, friendlier, or translating it.

System requirements?

Windows 10 (version 1809 or later) or Windows 11, 64-bit. Nothing else to install. Available as an installer or a portable version.

Why does Windows warn me when I download it?

AI Hotkey isn't code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen shows a warning the first time you run it. The download page shows what you'll see and how to continue.
