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 Spreadsheet Automation for macOS

Spreadsheets are the universal tool of business. Every team uses them - for budgets, project tracking, competitive analysis, client lists, and a hundred other things. The problem is rarely the spreadsheet itself. It is getting data into one. Copying numbers from bank statements, scraping competitor prices from websites, extracting figures from PDFs - this data entry grunt work is what Fazm automates completely.

The Data Entry Bottleneck

Building a useful spreadsheet usually involves three painful stages. First, you gather the raw data - logging into your bank, downloading CSVs, visiting competitor websites, or digging through email receipts. Second, you clean and structure the data - matching date formats, splitting addresses into columns, categorizing transactions. Third, you add the analysis layer - formulas, charts, conditional formatting.

Stages one and two are pure drudgery. They require attention but not intelligence. A banking portal does not export clean CSVs - you get transactions in PDF statements or HTML tables that need manual reformatting. Competitor pricing means visiting ten websites, copying numbers, and pasting them into cells. Fazm handles all of this automatically. You describe the spreadsheet you want, and Fazm gathers the data, structures it, and delivers a finished sheet ready for analysis.

How Fazm Builds Spreadsheets

Identify the data source

Fazm figures out where the data lives - your bank portal, a website, a PDF, an email, or another app. It navigates to the source and reads the information.

Extract and structure

Raw data gets cleaned up: dates are standardized, amounts are parsed, categories are assigned. Fazm understands column structure and builds a logical layout.

Populate the spreadsheet

Fazm opens Google Sheets or Excel and enters the data cell by cell. Headers are set, columns are sized, and data types are formatted correctly.

Add analysis and formatting

Based on your request, Fazm adds formulas (SUM, AVERAGE, VLOOKUP), creates charts, applies conditional formatting, and builds pivot tables.

Why AI Spreadsheet Creation Beats Manual Entry

Zero data entry

Fazm reads data from its source and enters it directly. No copying, no pasting, no reformatting. Just clean data in the right cells.

Cross-source compilation

Combine data from your bank, a competitor website, and a PDF invoice into a single sheet. Fazm navigates between sources seamlessly.

Instant analysis layer

Ask for a chart and Fazm builds one. Ask for totals and it adds SUM formulas. Ask for a pivot table and it creates the right grouping.

A Real-World Example

A product manager needs to present a competitive analysis at the weekly leadership meeting. She needs pricing, features, and user ratings for five competing project management tools. Without Fazm, this means visiting five websites, scrolling through pricing pages, copying numbers, and building the comparison manually - about 45 minutes of work.

"Find competitor pricing for project management tools - Asana, Monday, ClickUp, Notion, and Linear. Put pricing tiers, key features, and G2 ratings in a Google Sheet. Add a chart comparing monthly costs."

Fazm visited each website, extracted pricing data, checked G2 ratings, and populated a clean comparison sheet with a bar chart in under four minutes. The PM had her analysis ready before her morning standup.
