How much time will I actually save with Fazm?

Most users report saving 45-90 minutes per day on repetitive tasks. The biggest time savings come from email management (drafting replies, sorting, archiving), form filling (expense reports, CRM updates, applications), research (comparing products, gathering data from multiple sites), and social media (cross-posting, scheduling, replying). For example, booking a flight that normally takes 10 minutes of clicking through airline sites takes a single voice command with Fazm. Filing an expense report that requires opening a PDF, extracting numbers, and entering them into a spreadsheet becomes one spoken sentence. The more repetitive and multi-step your daily work is, the more time you get back.

What exactly can Fazm control?

Fazm controls everything you can do manually on your Mac. That includes mouse movements and clicks, keyboard typing, browser navigation and form filling, app switching, file management in Finder, and system-level actions. It uses direct browser DOM control for web interactions - meaning it reads and manipulates the actual page structure rather than taking screenshots and guessing where to click. For native macOS apps, Fazm uses accessibility APIs to interact with buttons, menus, text fields, and other UI elements. This works across any application: Chrome, Safari, VS Code, Slack, Figma, Terminal, Mail, Calendar, and more.

How is Fazm different from ChatGPT or Claude?

Chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude give you answers in a conversation window. Fazm takes action directly on your computer. When you say 'reply to Sarah's email,' Fazm opens your email app, finds Sarah's message, writes a contextual reply, and sends it. A chatbot would tell you what to write, but you still have to do all the clicking and typing yourself. Fazm moves your mouse, types on your keyboard, clicks buttons, and navigates between apps. It is a computer agent, not a chat assistant.

How does the memory layer work?

Fazm builds a personal knowledge graph by extracting information from your files, browsing history, conversations, and daily activity. Over time, it learns your contacts (names, emails, relationships), accounts and credentials, preferences (formatting, tone, scheduling habits), and frequently used workflows. In your first week, you might say 'Reply to Sarah's email, she's my cofounder, her email is sarah@acme.com.' By week four, you just say 'Reply to Sarah' because Fazm already knows who she is. By week eight, Fazm can draft the reply before you even ask. All of this data stays locally on your Mac - your knowledge graph never leaves your machine or gets sent to any cloud service.

Is Fazm safe? Can it mess up my computer?

Safety is built into every layer of Fazm. You watch every action in real-time on your screen - Fazm moves your mouse and types visibly, so there is nothing hidden. You can stop any action at any point by pressing a keyboard shortcut. Fazm also shows you what it plans to do before executing destructive actions like deleting files or sending emails, giving you a chance to confirm or cancel. Because Fazm is open source, the code is fully auditable on GitHub. There is no hidden behavior, no background processes making changes you cannot see, and no actions that bypass your screen.

What platforms does Fazm support?

Fazm currently supports macOS, running natively on both Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) and Intel Macs. It is built with Swift and uses macOS-specific frameworks like ScreenCaptureKit for screen analysis and Accessibility APIs for app control, which is why macOS is the primary platform. Windows and Linux support are on the roadmap but do not have release dates yet. You can also control your Mac remotely from your phone using Fazm Remote, which gives you voice access to your desktop while you are away from your computer.

How does Fazm voice input work?

One keyboard shortcut activates push-to-talk. Hold the key, speak naturally about what you need done, and release. Fazm transcribes your speech locally using on-device models, so there is no network latency for the voice recognition step. You do not need wake words like 'Hey Siri' or 'OK Google' - just press and talk. You can also type commands into the floating toolbar if you prefer text input. Fazm understands natural language, so you do not need to memorize specific commands. Say 'book me a flight to Tokyo next Thursday' or 'find the cheapest AirPods on Amazon' and Fazm figures out the steps.

Does Fazm work in languages other than English?

Yes. Fazm works in any language - English, Russian, Spanish, German, Japanese, and more. You can speak or type in your preferred language and Fazm will understand and act. Some of our most active users run their entire workday in Russian, issuing voice commands to manage Jira tickets, write Slack messages, and navigate internal tools. There is no language setting to configure - just speak or type naturally and Fazm handles it.

Is my data sent to the cloud?

Fazm processes screen analysis and memory entirely on your machine. The personal knowledge graph, file indexing, and screen capture all run locally. The only data that leaves your Mac is the intent - a text description of what you want to accomplish, which is sent to the AI model (Claude or GPT) for action planning. Your actual screen content, file contents, browsing history, and personal knowledge graph never leave your computer. Fazm is also open source, so you can verify exactly what data is transmitted by reading the code on GitHub. For users who need complete air-gapped operation, local model support is planned.

AI Grafana Dashboard Automation

Grafana is powerful, but configuring dashboards is tedious. Writing PromQL queries, setting thresholds, tweaking alert conditions, and keeping dashboards in sync across environments adds up to hours of UI clicking. Fazm handles Grafana configuration through natural language - you describe what you want, it builds it.

Observability Work Should Not Slow Down Engineering

Every infrastructure change creates Grafana work. You split a monolithic service into separate components and now your latency panel is broken because the metrics names changed. You want to add a new panel that separates p50, p95, and p99 latency, but constructing the PromQL query takes fifteen minutes because you keep guessing at metric label names.

Alert management is even worse in bulk. You have an alert group where every alert uses the wrong error handling setting - they should be set to Keep Last State instead of Alerting, but changing them one by one through the Grafana UI means clicking into each alert, finding the right dropdown, saving, and moving to the next. With 20 alerts in a group, this is half an hour of repetitive UI work.

Fazm treats Grafana as just another application to operate. You describe the change in plain English, Fazm opens the editor, makes the changes, and saves. Whether it is one panel or a batch update across an entire alert group, the workflow is the same from your perspective: describe it once, done.

What You Can Tell Fazm

"Check what Grafana dashboards we can create from these metrics"

"Add a latency panel to the API dashboard and sync it to staging"

"Change error handling to Keep Last State on all alerts in this alert group"

"Create a new dashboard that shows p50, p95, and p99 latency for all services"

"Add a panel showing error rate by endpoint for the last 24 hours"

"Update the Grafana alert threshold for high CPU from 80% to 90%"

How Fazm Manages Grafana Dashboards

Here is the workflow when you ask Fazm to add or update something in Grafana:

Fazm explores your available metrics

Before creating a panel, Fazm can browse your data sources in Grafana to discover which metrics are available. This ensures the panel queries use metric names and labels that actually exist.

Fazm opens the dashboard editor

Fazm navigates to the target dashboard in Grafana and opens the edit mode. For new panels it clicks Add Panel, for existing panels it enters the edit view for the specific panel you want to change.

Fazm configures the query

Fazm writes the PromQL, LogQL, or other query language expression for the panel based on your description. It selects the correct data source, sets the time range, and configures any variables or filters.

Fazm sets up the visualization

Fazm selects the right visualization type - time series, gauge, stat, bar chart, or table. It configures thresholds, color coding, legend labels, and any other display settings you specify.

Fazm saves and syncs

After saving the dashboard, Fazm can navigate to other Grafana environments (staging, production) and replicate the same changes so all environments stay consistent.

Benefits for DevOps and SRE Teams

No more PromQL guessing

Fazm can explore your metric namespace and write correct queries the first time, instead of spending 20 minutes discovering the right label names.

Bulk alert updates

Change the same setting across an entire alert group in one command. No more clicking through each alert individually to update a shared configuration.

Cross-environment sync

Keep staging and production dashboards in lockstep. Fazm applies the same changes to each environment so your observability is consistent everywhere.

Works with any Grafana setup

Grafana Cloud, self-hosted, or local development - Fazm operates the UI directly so it works regardless of your deployment setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
