The term "Lucid" means expressed clearly; easy to understand. and literary-wise bright or luminous.

Team Aquin has worked on an all-in-one tools application, an AI customizable all-in-one tools application and a browser which is still in preparation and isn't anywhere near your average browser. The one thing common in all previous ideas was the concept of "all in one," which has the basic psychology, "if crafted well, it becomes a marvel; if not, it risks being a failure" something we've witnessed.

But then we realized something crucial: instead of forcing users to switch to yet another application, what if we brought the power directly to them, wherever they are?

Team Aquin's passion has always resided within creating products for "everyone," something used by a 7-year-old who just started to go to school, or a professional working at a 9 to 5, or an artist, or an 80-year-old who doesn't have the best time learning about new technology, or if it's a programmer, literally "everyone."

Targeting one such crowd leaves us with two important missions:

  1. A product that is easy to use and understand
  2. A product that increases the user's productivity

Hence, we decided to build a floating AI assistant that doesn't force you to change your workflow, it adapts to it.

Lucid: expressed clearly

Creating an AI assistant that expresses itself to its users Clearly, right where they need it, is one of the most significant accomplishments we are trying to achieve. That means:

Imagine, with one keyboard shortcut, you summon Lucid.

and everything you need to complete any task of yours is right there floating on your screen, no gibberish, no one of those features that you'll never use, no complications, and no feeling of being overwhelmed; it's straightforward; what you need is right there, adapting to whatever application you're currently using.

Lucid: easy to understand

Building something that is easy to understand for our dear grandparents or children or tech haters or judgmental programmers is a little difficult.

  1. A floating AI assistant that works anywhere on your computer.
  2. A movable input box that you can place wherever you need it.
  3. Universal integration - where any application becomes your canvas.

When we live in a world influenced by the conventional workflow, which our fellow users have developed a "so-called" comfort in, building something that enhances that conventional workflow without disrupting it is the key.

That's why we don't aim to replace your default applications or any such.

We aim to create a new genre of apps.

Lucid: a new genre, a luminous and bright one.

Lucid isn't just a new variation that breaks the conventional idea of your average AI assistant; here is where it changes everything:

  • A floating input box that you can speak to or have it read responses aloud...
  • Upload any local file type and ask about it, PDFs, images, videos, code...
  • Attach any opened tab, bookmark, or item from your browser history to the AI and ask about...
  • Take screenshots from anywhere on your computer and ask about them...
  • A complete search engine that generates mindmaps, charts, etc...
  • An assistant that you can control with your fingertips, literal fingertips...
  • An assistant that you can control with your voice...
  • An AI that is not influenced by any sponsor...
  • An assistant that is totally locally based, i.e., no information gets out of your computer...
  • Download and use Local AI models for complete privacy...
  • Custom commands to run applications, open files, or run code without even having it opened in a IDE...
  • Custom keyboard shortcuts you can hide and show the command anytime...
  • An assistant that stays available no matter what application you're using...
  • An AI that adapts to whatever you're working on, right where you need it...

The list goes on, and we know we are not stopping any time soon.
