One of the most delightful, inventive, powerful new interfaces I've tried in years. Actually feels like an AI native computer. @PimDeWitte and the @tryhighlight team are building something both special and a touch mind bending, fired up for them
Highlight has completely transformed how I use my laptop. It's fast, intuitive, and surprisingly powerful for how lightweight it is. The interface is smooth, saves me hours, and the support team is genuinely helpful. I can't imagine going back to the old way.
ChatGPT and their likes are really useful. However, coming up with the right prompt is often hard. @tryhighlight changes that. You don't need to come up with any prompts... as Highlight understands the context :). It works like magic.
There are net new experiences being unlocked here. @tryhighlight has a very cool implementation on how you can bring up integrations from your local system
Really fun product to use! It feels incredibly smooth and responsive, and the way it just understands what you're doing across apps makes it feel almost invisible - in the best way. It's rare for a productivity tool to feel this effortless.
Highlight has changed how I study, research, and write. It just understands what I'm working on—whether I'm reading papers, writing up lab reports, or in meetings—and helps instantly.
Highlight is easily one of the most thoughtfully built AI tools I've tried this year. If you spend your day hopping between meetings, it's a total unlock—notes, summaries, next steps, all handled. It's lightweight, instant, and actually feels like it was designed for real workflows. Nothing to configure. Just shows up and works.
Whether I'm deep in a spreadsheet, reviewing a doc, or jumping between meetings, Highlight picks up what matters and surfaces the context I need—without me having to dig. It's become second nature in how I work.
So far @tryhighlight is the best user experience with AI apps I've had cross everything . Digging it , and using it more and more
Highlight quickly replaced my other AI tool usage. It has context of what is on my screen, so I no longer have to copy and paste across different applications to get the tool to work for me. It's seamless
