# Sato

Sato is an open-source AI desktop assistant for macOS that pairs a pixel desktop pet with screen understanding so you can ask about the current window directly. Hotkey-capture any screen region and get answers from Claude, GPT, or local models in natural language; build context profiles per project, expand into full chats when needed, or hide the pet and keep using AI. [Core features] Screenshot Q&A: hotkey summons Sato, select any region, then ask—streamed answers about the visible app, window, or page without copy-paste. Multi-model switch: Anthropic, OpenAI, and Ollama; switch defaults anytime; local Ollama keeps screenshots on-device. Project context profiles: preset background for a task so later sessions keep context without re-explaining. Pet and stealth mode: switchable pixel companions that stay on screen for summoning; stealth hides the pet but keeps hotkeys.
