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 PDF Automation for macOS

PDFs are everywhere in professional life - contracts, reports, invoices, presentations, tax documents. Yet working with them on macOS has always been frustrating. Preview handles basic viewing but stumbles on merging. Third-party tools cost money for features you use twice a year. Fazm lets you process PDFs with a single voice command, using whatever tools are already on your Mac.

The PDF Problem on macOS

Try merging five PDFs in Preview. You can do it, technically - open the first one, show thumbnails, drag the other four in the right order, then export. Miss a step and you end up with pages in the wrong sequence. Need page numbers? That requires a different tool entirely. Want to extract a table from a PDF into a spreadsheet? Now you are copying cells one by one or paying for Adobe Acrobat Pro.

These are not hard problems. They are tedious ones. And tedious problems are exactly what AI agents are built to solve. Fazm takes your natural-language instruction, figures out the correct sequence of operations, and executes them through the actual macOS interface - the same way you would, but without the frustration.

What You Can Tell Fazm to Do with PDFs

✓"Merge these 5 PDFs into one and add page numbers"

✓"Merge those 5 PDFs in Downloads and email them to Mike"

✓"Split this contract into separate pages, one file per section"

✓"Extract all tables from this quarterly report into a Google Sheet"

✓"Add a cover page to this presentation PDF"

✓"Compress this 50MB PDF down to email-friendly size"

✓"Convert this Word document to PDF and add my signature from the clipboard"

How Fazm Handles PDF Processing

Identify the files

Fazm locates the PDFs you are referring to - whether they are in Downloads, on your Desktop, or attached to an email. You can point to specific files or describe them by name.

Choose the right tool

Fazm selects the best available application on your Mac for the job. Preview for simple merges, a PDF editor for annotations, or command-line tools for batch processing.

Execute the operation

The AI performs the actual clicks and keystrokes - opening menus, dragging thumbnails, entering page numbers, and saving the output. All at native macOS speed.

Deliver the result

The finished PDF is saved where you want it. If you asked Fazm to email it, it opens Mail, attaches the file, fills in the recipient, and sends - all in the same workflow.

Why AI-Powered PDF Processing Wins

No extra software

Fazm works with Preview, the app already on your Mac. No need to buy Adobe Acrobat or any third-party PDF suite.

Multi-step chains

Merge five files, add page numbers, compress the result, and email it - all in a single command. No switching between tools.

Remote execution

Need to send a PDF from your Mac while you are on your phone? Fazm's remote control lets you trigger PDF workflows from anywhere.

A Real-World Example

A consulting firm prepares weekly client deliverables that combine a cover letter, data appendices, and an executive summary - each stored as separate PDF files across three different folders. The project manager used to spend 15 minutes per client assembling the final document manually.

"Merge the cover letter from Desktop, the appendix from Shared Drive, and the summary from this week's folder. Add page numbers starting at page 2 and save as ClientName-Weekly-Report.pdf."

Fazm handles the entire assembly in under 30 seconds. Across five clients per week, that saves over an hour of manual file juggling every single week.
