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 Remote Linux Access

Getting into a remote Linux machine from your Mac used to mean remembering SSH flags, juggling IP addresses, and managing credentials manually. Fazm handles the entire connection workflow - you just describe the system you want to reach and what you need to do there.

Remote Access Should Not Require a Cheat Sheet

Every developer who works across multiple machines knows the friction. You are on your Mac and need to get into a Linux box on the local network or a remote server. You need to recall whether SSH is running, which port it is on, what the credentials are, and whether you need to tunnel through a bastion host. Sometimes you have RDP enabled but your connection string is buried in a notes file somewhere.

The problem compounds when you need to do something specific once you are in - check a log file, restart a service, run a deployment script, or investigate a process that is consuming too much memory. Each of these steps requires you to know the right commands, remember the right paths, and execute everything correctly without making the situation worse.

Fazm treats remote access as a single natural language task. You describe the machine, the connection method, and what you want to accomplish. Fazm handles every click and keystroke from opening the terminal to closing the session.

What You Can Tell Fazm

"Can we remotely log in to my Linux system at 192.168.1.229?"

"I need to get into my Linux system - it has RDP enabled"

"SSH into my dev server and tail the application logs"

"Connect to 192.168.1.229 and check which processes are using the most CPU"

"Log into the remote machine and restart the nginx service"

"Open a remote session and run the deployment script in /opt/deploy"

How Fazm Connects to a Remote Linux System

Here is the full workflow when you ask Fazm to access a remote Linux machine:

You describe the machine

Tell Fazm the IP address, hostname, or any identifying detail. You can also mention the connection method - SSH, RDP, or VNC. Fazm figures out the rest based on what is available.

Fazm opens the right connection tool

Depending on the connection type, Fazm opens Terminal for SSH, or your installed RDP client for remote desktop connections. It constructs the correct connection string without you needing to type it manually.

Fazm handles authentication

Fazm enters credentials as needed - usernames, passwords, or SSH key selection. If you have saved credentials or a config file, Fazm uses those. If authentication requires a prompt, Fazm handles it interactively.

Fazm executes your instructions on the remote system

Once connected, Fazm operates the remote session just like it operates your local Mac. It can run commands in the terminal, navigate a remote desktop GUI, copy files, check logs, and manage services.

Fazm reports back and closes cleanly

After completing your task, Fazm summarizes what it did - the commands it ran, the output it found, or the changes it made. It closes the session properly to avoid leaving dangling connections.

Benefits for Developers and System Administrators

No more memorizing connection strings

Just say the IP or hostname. Fazm builds the correct SSH command or RDP connection string and handles the entire sequence.

Works with SSH and RDP

Whether your Linux box is running an SSH daemon, xrdp, or VNC, Fazm adapts to whatever remote access method is available.

Full session control

Fazm is not just making the connection - it operates the remote session end to end, running commands and navigating the remote environment on your behalf.

Local and remote networks

Fazm works with local network IPs (192.168.x.x), public servers, cloud VMs, and anything in between that your Mac can reach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Fazm connect to a remote Linux system over SSH?

Yes. Fazm can open a terminal on your Mac, initiate an SSH connection to any Linux host using an IP address or hostname, handle authentication, and then execute commands on the remote system - all driven by your natural language instructions.

Does Fazm work with RDP connections to Linux?

Yes. If your Linux system has RDP enabled (for example via xrdp), Fazm can open a Remote Desktop client on your Mac and connect using the IP address you provide. It operates the remote desktop visually, just like it does on your local machine.

Can Fazm run commands and scripts on the remote Linux machine?

Once connected via SSH or RDP, Fazm can run shell commands, execute scripts, check system status, restart services, edit config files, and perform any task a system administrator would do manually.

What if the remote machine is on my local network?

Fazm works with local network addresses (like 192.168.1.x) as well as public IP addresses and hostnames. As long as your Mac can reach the machine, Fazm can connect to it.
