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 Microsoft Teams Automation

Microsoft Teams packs a huge amount of power, but managing it manually - organizing team sections, keeping member lists current, monitoring channels across a large org - is genuinely tedious work. Fazm handles the repetitive Teams management tasks that eat up a manager's time, from reorganizing direct reports to monitoring messages and drafting responses on your behalf.

Teams is Powerful but Manual to Manage

When your organization is large enough that Teams has multiple layers - teams within teams, sections within teams, channels for every project - keeping it all organized becomes a part-time job. Adding a new direct report means navigating through the Teams admin UI, finding the right team, locating the right section, adding the person, and repeating for every team they belong to. When onboarding multiple people at once or reorganizing after a reorg, this clicks-per-action cost multiplies fast.

The message monitoring problem is different but just as real. For managers who need to stay responsive to direct reports across multiple channels, keeping up with Teams notifications without getting pulled into the app constantly is nearly impossible. Delegate too much and you miss things. Stay in Teams too long and you lose hours.

Fazm gives you a better option for both problems. Tell it what structure you want in Teams and it will build it. Tell it to watch your messages and it will alert you to things that need your attention, draft responses, and send them only after you approve.

What Teams Users Tell Fazm

"Perfect, now in teams can you add all of my direct reports into the MADTP Team section and organize them alphabetically"

"You're gonna need to open up Teams to see my direct reports as well as the direct reports for Austin DeRocha"

"Can we authenticate the Teams MCP"

"can you monitor my teams messages and respond to them automatically with my confirmation before you send?"

"Add everyone from the engineering channel to the new Platform team section"

"Show me who messaged me in Teams today that I haven't replied to yet"

How Fazm Organizes Your Teams Structure

Here is what happens when you ask Fazm to add all your direct reports to a team section and sort them alphabetically:

Fazm identifies your direct reports

Fazm opens Teams and locates your org chart, finding everyone who reports directly to you. If you also need their reports (for a cross-org section), it navigates to those manager profiles and builds the full list.

Fazm navigates to the target team and section

The agent finds the specific team you named (e.g., MADTP Team), locates the correct section within it, and prepares to add members.

Fazm adds members one by one

For each person on the list, Fazm clicks 'Add member', types the name, selects the correct person from the dropdown, and confirms the addition. It repeats this for every direct report.

Fazm applies alphabetical sorting

Once all members are added, Fazm reorders them alphabetically within the section using Teams' member management interface.

Fazm confirms the final structure

The agent reads back the final member list so you can verify the organization is correct. Any adjustments - removing someone, adding a guest - are handled in the same session.

What Fazm Brings to Teams Management

Org changes in minutes

What would take a manager an hour of clicking through Teams admin - reorganizing sections after a reorg - Fazm handles in a single instruction.

Message oversight without distraction

Fazm monitors channels in the background and surfaces only the messages that need your response, rather than forcing you to scan everything yourself.

Confirmation before every send

When Fazm drafts a Teams response for you, it shows you the draft and waits for approval. Nothing gets sent automatically without your sign-off.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Fazm manage Microsoft Teams on macOS?

Yes. Fazm controls the Microsoft Teams desktop application or Teams in a browser on your Mac. It can read team structures, add or remove members, organize sections, and interact with chats and channels just as a human would.

Can Fazm monitor Teams messages and respond automatically?

Yes. Fazm can watch your Teams inbox for new messages, draft responses based on message context, and send them after you confirm. You stay in control of every response - Fazm just does the reading and drafting, then asks before sending.

Does Fazm work with the Teams MCP integration?

Yes. If you have the Microsoft Teams MCP server configured, Fazm can use it for more reliable programmatic access to Teams data. Users have asked Fazm to authenticate the Teams MCP as part of their setup. Fazm can also work without MCP by controlling the Teams UI directly.

Can Fazm see direct reports for other managers?

Fazm can access org chart information visible within Teams. Users have asked Fazm to look up direct reports for specific managers - for example, checking both their own direct reports and a colleague's reports to organize a shared team section.
